I have been here for a few days and Chicago is being it's normal icy, cold, slippery, dark, snowny, miserable self. I've been trapped indoors due to foul weather and of course my worrying Mother would prefer I not brave the elements (the roads are slippery, there's too much snow and they haven't cleaned the roads, etc. etc.)

All I have been able to do is sleep, eat, watch TV, eat, sleep, watch TV (and remember I generally HATE television especially mindless ass reality TV!!!), eat, sleep and do it all again and again. GEEZ...HOW DO PEOPLE LIVE LIKE THIS? If I lived here and wasn't blessed with a high metabolism I'm sure I'd gain 30 pounds in one winter!!!!

After this experience I promise I will not judge anyone's weight gain again(LOL). (Not that I typically do judge it anyway)

When I get back to NYC I am gonna walk circles around my dirty ass block until I'm too tired to continue, just because I will be FREE to WALK without fear of slipping on a sheet of ice and hurting myself. OMG...the sedentary life is NOT FOR ME!!!!!

On a higher note though, I am enjoying the time spent with my Moms. It feels good to know that my being here is helping to keep her happy and keep her mind off the loss of her husband, baby brother and mother in the last 18 months. Being here for her is the least I can do after all that she has done for me. So I am thankful that I have the means to be here with her.

To each of you, enjoy the rest of your holiday season.

Ok, that's her calling me now warning me that it is foggy outside..lol. Mothers, you gotta love 'em. I know I love mine.
