I just had homemade chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. :)

I know as well as you do that chocolate chip cookies are not part of a well-balanced breakfast, and that they are packed to the gills with processed carbohydrates and other scary fattening things. But I don't care, oh no, I don't. Because if I'm going to eat something that clogs my arteries or sticks me one step closer to counting myself among the ranks of obese Americans, it's damn well going to be chocolate chip cookies that my sister and I baked at home on one of the funnest afternoons ever.

We meausered. We mixed. We blended. We got messy. We made up songs about all of the above, complete with dance breaks. We got flour on our faces and batter under our nails. But damn, do those cookies taste good. :)


And, and! I went to the gym yesterday, and did my three miles of walking. And while I was cooling down, I decided that I felt pretty good. Really good, in fact. Like my legs were little limber bands of pure energy. And the Rocky theme song started to play on my shuffle. (Hell yeah I have the Rocky theme song, shoot...) So I sped up again. A little more. And a little more. And a little more. And all of a sudden...(Forest Gump stlye) I was run-ning! And damn, that was good too. I only did half a mile...but its coming back...I can feel it...another couple of weeks, and everything will be fitting together again. And, if you must know, I successfully quelled the urge to throw my fists into the air and prance around when I got off the tradmill. But only narrowly.


Oh yeah, and another thing...another one of those weird soundtrack deals...so my Shuffle was on shuffle mode and Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" came on at the beginning of my walk. And then the song was over, and I heard the beginning of it again. Over the gym's sound system. It started immediately after mine ended. And, granted, this is a great song...but it's not top 40 or anything (if the same thing has happened with "Hollaback Girl" (which, just so we're clear, is NOT on my iPod...) then I wouldn't be surprised. Or weirded out. But it IS a great song. And one does not ignore it when fate randomly throws a song called "The Message" into one's ears twice in close succession.

Don’t push me, cause I’m close to the edge
I’m trying not to loose my head
It’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
