Blog Conscious

This Thursday we had a great meeting in NYC with the people at our book publishing company (Crown) who are going to help promote and sell our book. One of the biggest takeways for us is that we need to blog more regularly and not be so darned formal about it. Cathy and I were hugely relieved to hear that. See, we've been trying to write this tidy essays that tie back to our book or our twins. But our publisher said that we can push the envelope a bit more and write about other stuff in our lives like wardrobe challenges and friendship dilemmas. How juicy! Let's see if our newfound freedom inspires us to blog more often. My biggest wardrobe challenge right now is finding pants that fit over my left knee brace, which goes from my thigh to my ankle. I have been wearing lots of black yoga pants with sweaters during the week, which is comfy but dangerous. Yoga pants are great if you are actually staying fit and practicing yoga. But evil if you are physically restricted like me right now...the belly can expand and expand and the pants still fit and feel comfy. You know what that means, right? The only way to keep honest about my exercise-deprived body right now is to step on a scale. No thank you. I think I get to start physical therapy in about a week, so I can justify wearing yoga pants again then. How's that for rationalization?
