Time for some Random randomness
I’m sure by now most of you Harry Potter fans have seen this site. It’s a very large site all about a crazy theory–Ron is Dumbledore. I went into it thinking it was absolutely ridiculous and the first part kind of numbed my brain, but I kept reading and now I think it might actually be possible. Personally, I think it would be pretty cool. Mike thinks it would cheapen the series. I guess it just depends on how into wacky theories one is. I, personally, would never come up with a wacky
I’ve come up with a new theory about my weight. See, even though I am starting to accept my body I simply can not accept the number on the scale. I weigh more than most football linebackers. Seriously. I can’t watch sporting events that give the weights of the players because I outweigh most of them by quite a bit. I had a body analysis done at the Y and my ideal weight is 195. That’s much heavier than any chart has ever told me. So my theory? Well, it’s kind of wacky (since today’s theme seems to be wacky theories). In high school my biology teacher told me I had the tiniest cheek cells of any one he’d ever seen in his 25 years of teaching. Today I realized this is the cause of my problem. My cells are tiny, thus I require more of them, thus I am simply denser than other people. I would think two or three small cells would weigh more than one big cell. They would have to have more “parts” and not as much plain liquid. So, my friends, now I can accept myself and the high numbers on the scale. If you happen to be a doctor or some such person who actually knows things, please don’t burst my bubble. Unless, of course, you know things that would support my theory. Then you can comment.
Yes, I know I am a freak. Yes I know my imagination is a little crazy. I like it that way.
We really need to get our butts in gear and pack a bunch more stuff today. I have mosquito bites all over my legs and they itch badly. I think I may have been infected with the West Nile Virus. Do you think Mike will accept that as an excuse to get out of the packing? Me neither.

Dense cells, Carrie? How about just dense! I’m a follower of the Dutch theory that every pound goes through the mouth. Having said that, I am realizing how hard it is to repair the damage once you get overweight. It’s really true that 6 minutes on the lips is 6 months on the hips. If I were you though, I would worry more about just staying healthy. After all, Mike married you for who you are, extra pounds and all. If you lost all the pounds you dream of you would no longer be you, but someone else.

Very interesting theory….I hate it when they give athletes weights too. I like to tell myself that I don’t LOOK as heavy as I actually am but I’m probably kidding myself. I sometimes think my husband would be pretty shocked if he new my weight. It’s a secret I’ll guard with my life.

I’m a bio major and… I don’t have the energy to look at your theory from that viewpoint so I’ll say it sounds good to me!! Actually, the more I think about it the more I like it.

OH Thank you Carrie. Now I know the reason the scale in my house is tipped the wrong way!
