Bye Bye, Pie!

Waiting and Watching

Can you believe January is gone already? My father once tried to explain to me some weird, advanced scientific explanation about time, and how time actually does move faster when you get older, but mostly I just waited for him... Read more →

June is musing!

I may be musing, but I am rarely amusing. Today I have guest posted on dcrmom's blog, Musings of a Housewife. See you over there! Read more →

Seattle's Best Coffin

You know what might have been smart? Maybe I should have told you all yesterday why I was considering giving up coffee. People certainly are opinionated about coffee. You would think all my readers were Juan Valdez and his family.... Read more →

Running and Raleigh

Yesterday, Marvin Gardensalad and I went to Raleigh, because I have never been to Raleigh, and guess what? Turns out I like Raleigh. It is a real city, with cool shops and Manolo Blahniks and gay men and all the... Read more →

On the Lamb

For those of you wildcats still up at 10:44 p.m., which is when I am beginning this post, you will not HAVE to wait a whole night to hear about June's Adventures in Albemarle. That is because I am telling... Read more →

Running in a vacuum

I have started reading my half-marathon book, and of course he talked about running shoes right away. Having run one marathon (and by the way, could I have had more stuff in my hand?), I remember the importance of the... Read more →

Half Time

So, my book came today. It is a book on running a half-marathon, which by the way I bought on Amazon through dcrmom's blog. Apparently, if you go to her blog and click the Amazon ad, she gets money for... Read more →

Chocolate by Death

Once summer, my mother and I were at a fair. There was some sort of fund raiser -- I forget now what cause it was -- and for ten dollars you could hold a baby lion or tiger, and have... Read more →

Sonic Youthful No More

Your close, personal pal June has to tell you something. Remember yesterday, when Heath Ledger died and I said I was off to do Australian yoga lady? Well, not DO Australian yoga lady, as I am married and not allowed... Read more →

Gifts and yoga and death

Other than the part where Heath Ledger died, this has been a lovely day. Wasn't that shocking? Here we all are waiting for the Britney news, and he has to up and die. I thought he was a wonderful actor,... Read more →

I Have a Dream Whip

Does anybody else remember Dream Whip dessert topping? Am I the least deep person on the planet that I take an important topic like Martin Luther King and turn it into thoughts of nondairy topping? Does anybody similarly remember 1-2-3... Read more →

Eeyore called. Wants his outlook back.

Sorry I didn't type you yesterday. I have been glum glum glum. As a result, I haven't exercised, and yesterday I had Hamburger Helper and mashed potatoes for dinner. Which, as a surprising result, means I have lost no weight... Read more →

Here's Looking at Your Sports Bra, Kid

For all of you who wrote to tell me a meter is a yard? I don't know how big a yard is, either. I mean, a yard. Isn't that a large space where dogs can play? THAT'S how far I... Read more →

California Rolls on my Waistline

Marvin Gardensalad and I just saw two deer right down the street from us! Oh! They were so pretty. I rolled down the window and said hello and told them I loved them very much. They seemed indifferent to my... Read more →

The Storm that ROCKED North Carolina

You guys. Seriously. They are predicting (don't get scared) one to maybe even TWO inches of snow tomorrow! Woah. Laura Ingalls Wilder and her long winter got nothing on this. They are calling it a winter storm warning. An INCH... Read more →

I Can't Believe it's Yoga

Namaste. I just did my yoga DVD. Can you tell? "Namaste" is some yoga word, which roughly translates to "How's it hangin'?" We had free yoga at noon at my old workplace in LA and I loved it. Really, the... Read more →

Exercise? Perhaps I Could Exercise Restraint

I got out of work at noon today, and my idea was that I'd get right on that treadmill as soon as I got home. But of course I was STARVING when I got home, having eaten a banana and... Read more →

A Girly Day

I was just sitting here, trying to sign on to ding-dang TypePad, when I heard this high-pitched noise coming from the heating vent. Naturally I assumed I was going to be blown up at any second, because I can never... Read more →

Down and Out on my Treadmill

Call 911! Call 911! Did you ever see Down and Out in Beverly Hills, when Richard Dreyfus is yelling that while the phone is in his hand? I would giggle about that if I weren't near death. I just spent... Read more →

Life in the Express Lane

It's Friday night. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Wooo! Partayyy! Back that ass up! I'm going to get groceries. You know, in the old days, back when I was still trolling for men, this would be an hour or two before I'd start getting... Read more →

Foggy Non-London Town

A fog has rolled in to my little town, so tonight my view from the treadmill was of my wooded area in the back yard covered in fog and backlit by streetlights. It was very London and dramatic, and I... Read more →

Good night, Detroit!

I am back from Funeral Tour 2008. Did you miss me? We flew out of Charlotte on Monday, only to land in Detroit and learn of ANOTHER death as soon as we got there, so we went to two funerals... Read more →

Walking through town in down

Yesterday I took a long walk. No, not off a short pier, but you are funny for thinking that. I wore my mother's white puffy down jacket that she ended up giving me. I was with her when she bought... Read more →

Sad news

Today is a sad day over at the Gardensalad/GonnaEatThat household. Marvin Gardensalad's grandmother died. She was approximately 797 years old. Seriously, girlfriend was old, and if her pictures from her youth are any indication, it seems like she had a... Read more →

FedEx, tacos and Britney's gurney

My doctor's office called today. Before I started this blog, I went to the doctor and had him check all my levels of everything to see if I was dying or turning into a man or anything, and to see... Read more →

The Hamburglar Stole My Soul

So, I went to McDonald's today. I blame it on my genes. You see, here's the problem. I was born skinny. I was a teeny tiny kid no matter what I ate or drank. As I got older, I never... Read more →

Eatin' Good in the Neighborhood

First of all, some smart, computery friend of mine said people will want to know this so they can do something called RSS. This means nothing to me. Am I helping y'all do something dirty? http://byebyepie.typepad.com/bye_bye_pie/atom.xml Two hundred and seventy-ninth,... Read more →

Something in the Way She Moves

I just got off the treadmill for my first 30-minute exercise of 2008. What are the symptoms of a heart attack? Can you actually sweat to death? Thirty-five minutes ago, I was so full of hope. Of life. Where did... Read more →

How I am Going to get Healthy in 2008

I have no inkling. Wouldn't that be hilARious? If I had no plan whatsoever? If I just made a nice pie blog, the end? However, I do have some rules and regulations for myself. What a surprise. Cause I'm usually... Read more →
