I have my first reader question!  Anna from Raleigh wants to know what I've been doing in terms of exercise/fitness activity.

Well, Anna, thanks for your question!  The answer is not a whole lot, unfortunately.  When I had my babysitting job I was running several times a week, and going to the gym once a week as well.  And chasing after a 1.5-year-old for 6 hours a day!!  But my current schedule doesn't really lend itself to exercising in this climate.  I finish work at midnight, and it's often about 1am by the time  go to bed, so I wake up at 9 or 10, and by that time it's way too hot to go for a run.  The gyms here don't have AC, so that's not really an enticing option either.  Sometimes I do some crunches, pushups, and stretches in my room, but not nearly as regularly as I usually hope to.  Maybe I'll start again tomorrow...

I have also had some reader comments!!  Sudha from Raleigh commented that she's not really sure if she gets what mate is.
WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? 
Clearly I have not devoted enough of my posts to explaining this topic.  Friday's post will remedy that situation.  Look forward to it!!!

And finally, Karen from Raleigh suggested that I not buy a house any time soon so that I can continue taking trips whenever I please.  You're invited on my next one, Karen!!!!

And to everyone else, send me any comments or questions so that on days like today when I have nothing else to write about I can at least have something to respond to.
