7 Quick Tuesday Takes
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 10:55AM 1. I'm still really upset by the flippant and hate-filled responses to Jon & Kate. Maybe it's naive, but I think you can sign up to be on a television show and not expect this sort of media treatment. Who's following the Duggars around? Anyone? Which paparazzi are camped outside The Little Couple's home? Hmm? Only some people get subjected to this level of scrutiny and, frankly, harassment. They did not ask for this or bring it upon themselves. Why don't we have paparazzi laws? Why is it fair for adult men with cameras to stalk five-year-olds? Disgusting.
2. Day two of the 5 Day Pouch Test is going well so far. My only off-plan eating yesterday was a cup of yogurt and a 1 oz. piece of cheese. So, okay, no off-plan eating would be optimal but I'm still proud of myself. Hunger is not an emergency.
3. I think your child is adorable, but I don't need to see 85 photos from any family event. Can you choose maybe 5 of them if you're sending them via email? Or post an album on Facebook so I can skim through them.
4. I got a FB messages from my ex-work husband yesterday. It wasn't quite perfunctory, but mainly a research assistance request with a few personal questions thrown in. I miss my grad school friends. I miss being around people who read literature and watch the (non-Fox) news and have the skills that go along with a liberal arts education. I'm looking forward to my new grad classes this fall. My previous grad classmates set a pretty high bar, though - I hope my new ones are up to snuff.
5. Email is an affliction. Do any of us really need THAT much email? I wish the cc option was never invented. Little by little, I'm unsubscribing from a bunch of mailing lists. I'd rather just get real emails from people I care to hear from.
6. Yesterday's diary of a food addict post got as many hits alone as I usually get in a day. This makes me wonder about the interest in food addiction (which I believe is under-represented and misrepresented in the media).
7. My husband's answer to all irritants is "Can I build a flamethrower?" Today I finally agreed, but only so I can be charred to a crisp, like a snack. I would be a Combo - crunchy on the outside and soft cheese on the inside (because, really, with all the cheese I eat, I am probably just cheese inside). What's better than carbs outside and cheese inside? (Combos, raviolis, manicotti, wontons, quesadillas - I could just go on and on.) Man, I am a carb addict.
What's your favorite carb outside/cheese inside food?

Quesadillas are my favorite cheese inside/carb outside food. Followed closely by ravioli.
And the J and K + 8 thing just makes me sad for them.
