Survival of the Fattest!


At 28 weeks pregnant I have come to the tragic conclusion that I may not see where I am actually walking until May.

In the aftermath of our most recent snowstorm, I find that I spend my time walking in a face down posture, carefully assessing the traction potential of each step. I worry that by the time the snow clears, I’ll have such a crook in my neck that I’ll have to spend our daughter’s college fund paying a chiropractor to put everything back in place. Yesterday, while carefully waddling my way along the treacherous sidewalk to our apartment, I ran our neighbor into a snow bank. It wasn’t until I got safety into our apartment that I finally looked up and asked my sweetheart who I had plowed off the road. Learning it was the notorious owner of “Spot” (see previous post) I didn’t feel nearly as bad.

So, this is my warning to everyone. Until the snow and ice are completely gone and I no longer have to worry about the tailbone breaking potential of each and every step, I suggest that you keep a close eye on where you are going. I shall assume no responsibility for plowing over anyone that happens to be in my way.

Just consider it survival of the FATTEST!
