A too funny and cool thing!

Beyond Bunny Yeager’s Lens, a Shy Pinup

Until today I had never heard of Bunny Yeager. Or of Bettie Page, for that matter (remember, I'm a cultural heathen or something like that), but someone sent me the link to this article because, after I'd been discussing Linnea's full name, she happened to read this blog post.

Which contains the following:

Born Linnea Eleanor Yeager, she rechristened herself Bunny after a film character played by Lana Turner

Give or take an "a", I guess dh, me and Mr and Mrs Yeager père and mère had identical tastes in names!

(For those who don't know, Linnea is Linnea Elanor.)

New bike jersey

He saw it. It was on clearance, but still ridiculously expensive, and only size available was a Men's Small.

I bought it anyhow.

It's barely big, which again points to cycling clothes sizing being completely disconnected from real world sizing.

I think he looks great!

Menus this week.

So, the week of no rice! So far, we're good.

I'm not eating most of this. After yesterday's traumatic 4lb weight gain, I'm doing a two day veggies and chicken breast only plan. I won't stay on it long, but I desperately need to see some of that weight come off quickly. I had just -last week- gotten down to where I was last November, and those four pounds could take me 6 months to lose. Cannot. I thought about a short fast, but I know that I tend to go overboard on those: I feel so wonderful! and free! and light! that I go longer than I should. Since I loathe chicken breast and steamed veggies (BORING!) I know I won't want to do it long term. Anyhow.
