Diet Stuff
Jun. 16th, 2013 08:47 amBreakfast: Sausage links
Lunch: Taco Salad
Dinner: Beanless chili (my own low-carb recipe that's 98% meat)
Gym: None, 20.2 miles total
Clean: None, busy day
Yesterday was a day full of Kent. One niece graduated at 9 in the morning (on a SATURDAY?!?!), and her younger sister was in a dance recital performance of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe that afternoon. All in all, we were in the south end for some 9 hours leaving NO TIME for Gym or Cleaning. I'm totally okay with this, I love those girls SO MUCH :)
Haley is the one who graduated, and she's a perfect mix of cookie-cutter Geek Girl. She binge-watches all the genre shows, goes to the conventions, does art... the perfect little modern Geek. She throws Doctor Who watching parties, loves Game Nights and even makes viewing recommendations to *me* that I'll listen to! I DID THAT TO HER :)
Hannah is the younger one, and she's the perfect *authentic* Geek Girl (for lack of a better term). So hard to explain... she's wildly artistic in an organic way, like the "Oooh that doll head would make an excellent flower pot if I just put fangs on it" kind of creative artistry that can often be copied but never duplicated. She was the first of my nieces to go to an official "Geek Camp" with me over the summer where I gently nudged her towards nerdy pursuits. She was the first to play Dungeons & Dragons with me, she was the first to play Magic The Gathering with me... she's got that "I don't care what the rest of you think, I love/hate that thing" attitude that's important for a passionate Geek to have :)
