Working on my fitness

Well, it's not even lunch time and already I've eaten a delish Chinese chicken salad from Trader Joe's and a huge handful of orange-flavored cranberries. So tasty. Still, I feel like yacking...

Maybe that's a story idea for next week: how to avoid the pre-lunch pig-out.

I woke up crazy early this morning and started watching the news, which is something I rarely do since leaving my post at ABC. Let's just call it, "post-traumatic stress disorder" and leave it at that. However, I saw that there's an epidemic of swine flu going around. People are cancelling vaycays to Mexico AND the U.S. Dude, that's so gross. Let's all be careful to cover our mouths when we cough, give people plenty of personal space when they talk, and wipe down our desks and keyboards at the office. Germs are super creepy.

In other news, Bea Arthur, star of "The Golden Girls" passed away this weekend. I think she was 86. Bea was sooooo rad. She was one of the funniest ladies on television. I loved her as Dorothy on GG, but she rocked my socks off on "Maude." I once wrote a song called "The Ballad of Bea Arthur" and sang it for my friend Julie when we were all kids working at Urban Outfitters on Melrose. Sigh... You'll be missed, Bea.

I'm out.
