Ms Bossy Pants

I am working on another blog that’s not quite going yet. Having three children out of school for the summer is very…time-consuming. I don’t think Ms Bossy Pants is going away, but I am trying to move it away from being a “local” blog (it doesn’t really center on my wonderful little town, anyway) to a more political- and culture-oriented blog. Libertarianism and Neil Gaiman, anyone?

The “new” blog is something that seemed like a good idea at the time. I think it’s still a good idea, but it turns out there are other blogs like it. Disappointing. I should have done more research. Some of you know I have recently taken up running and cycling. I use “taken up” quite loosely. Still, I do enjoy them when I do them, and intend on them becoming habits. I thought a blog about a fat woman running and riding a bike would be entertaining and possibly inspiring. Other folks have the same idea. But I think sticking with Fat Grrl Running will help me also keep with running and cycling. Eventually I will learn some swimming strokes beyond the puppy-paddling I can do now (but I can do it in ten feet of water!) and maybe become a triathlete. Then I can be…Fat Grrl Triathlon-ing.

Now, my youngest has a friend over. She never gets to have anyone over, and so of course her room is a mess, and my entire house is unapologetically messy, though I did clean the hallway bathroom and am proud of that. I am going to go eavesdrop on what they’re doing because the little girls were plotting a few minutes ago (my youngest is a good plotter). I think it involved markers and bears, so adult intervention may be required, if for nothing else than to bring up the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
