Can't...type...too...tired.
You know what I'm craving right now? Mall. Pure, unadulterated mall. Indoors, filtered air, people in coordinated outfits stepping on my blissfully sneakerless impracticle-shoe-shod feet. Top 40 music piped in next to artificial plants. And an Auntie Anne's pretzel. And a diet coke. Yeah - eat that Mother Nature.
I prefer my physical activity (if I can say "prefer" and "physical activity" in the same sentence) to be limited to 30 minute blocks. It's manageable, I know I can shower right away, and it means I only have to give up being lazy for half an hour of my day.
So that four hour hike Sunday has all but liquefied my non-existent muscles. We headed up Mt. Monadnock, and I was the most inexperienced hiker there. Lots of families were taking advantage of the perfect weather on this loveliest of Labor Day weekends, so many small scampering six year olds lapped me on that mountain. But enough of those memories, I have the mosquito bites to help me relive that afternoon.
On to brighter news - Joe Biden looks like a saint compared to what the Republicans have dug up - ARGGGGGH it's pro-lifer Evangelical Christian former beauty queen Sarah Palin! Step right up to view the feminist's nightmare: our first GOP viable female VP candidate hate's women's rights! The real cherry on this backwater sundae is that her abstinence-only sex education stance has firmly backfired and she still won't budge to consider that maybe America's kids are smart enough to cope on their own if they aren't kept in a holy water bubble - Palin's own 17 year old daughter is pregnant. Surely, this poor girl has enough to deal with without media scrutiny - but for the love of Kotex - somebody send this family to therapy!

near-death hiking experience + an end to women's rights in the white house = a terrific Labor Day for all!
