cold.

i wonder how cold it got in duluth last night? colder than 12 i would guess...which is what it was here.

i ran last night and that wind reminded me of...well...february. pushed myself hard with the core strength stuff and then ate a bunch of pasta. it was almost a healthy night (with the exception of the ice cream ben and jerry's style). oh well, everyone needs a little extra insulation for the winter. at least that's what the fat women at work insist on. i wonder what their excuse is for the spring, summer and fall? i heard one of them saying that they didn't believe in childrens' weight percentiles (like it is a religion or something). she went on to say that she likes that her 7 year old niece is "pudgy" because "if she ever gets really sick and loses a bunch of weight she won't die." holy crap!?! the good news is that this is my competition for promotions....

i need more coffee. speaking of coffee, we are still having coffee issues at the house. i can't get it to taste good, and it still takes forever to brew. that 20 minute expreience dictates (i said dictate) my mood all morning. it needs to be remedied...

happy thursday.
