Eating enough for a small village‎

Is someone piping testosterone into my water supply? I swear, I have been eating like Hulk Hogan for the past week--I cannot get enough. Today, I stopped at Costco and left with a grocery cart stocked as if I were hosting a high school graduation party...for twins. Guacamole, salsa, a gigantic bag of dried fruit, a vegetable party platter, three dozen eggs, a double clamshell of grapes, an entire Rotisserie chicken and more. Granted, most of it is healthy and it's not like I'm eating everything tonight but, my lord!

Maybe I have a tapeworm? Are these hot summer days finally getting to me, my body begging me to replenish the salt and electrolytes lost through sweating on the subway? Is it sympathy hunger because so many of my condo friends are preggers?

Or maybe...and this is what I'm hoping...my body is just craving lots of nutrients and really needs all these delish fruits and dips and, yes, Mike n Ikes and Edy's Light Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream. These legs that power me through my runs and my arms that are now curling 15 lbs and my back that keeps me from falling over my laptop after six straight hours of writing crave fuel. And so I'm going to listen. And enjoy the hell out of it.

Transitioning....

So happy in my little stream
blowing my pretty bubbles
Through my fleshy fish pout...

Swam and swam for days.
Overtaken by a hustle-bustle haze.
Didn't know I was changing ways.

My eyes popped!
I was no longer in my stream...
But somewhere huge, blue!

I swim this way, that way...
Under a frantic, surreal sway.
Blocked, chocked--my airway!

And then I snap out of my daydream
And take a deep breath.
It's just anxiety.

Sounds good to me.
What time is dinner?
