Getting Things Done

I've gone through all of my husband's edits. I was having lots of difficulty with the rewrite on the first chapter, but I made lots of progress on that this morning. Yeah! And the good news is that my weekend is totally free, so I will have the rewrite done by Monday. Yippee! I'm so excited.

On another note, I was reading an article in Self magazine at the gym when I just about dropped the magazine and swore allegiance to Rebecca Romijn. She said how frustrated she was at tabloids getting her weight wrong. Back in the early 1990s when she did the Sports Illustrator spread, she weighed 140 lbs! She said that a tabloid reported (in error, big surprise) that she had weighed about 120 lbs at the time. She's 5'11"! At 120 lbs, she would've been a stick. Just look at all those waifs on the runway now! She had gained weight during her hiatus from movies and television and the tabloids recently called her fat, but, as she said, "I looked like a normal woman." Unfortunately, in her business you need to stay lean, so she's back down to her normal Hollywood weight, which is not in the 120s. I wish more healthy actresses would come clean to what they really weigh. I get so frustrated with this whole weight issue and the media. I see so many women struggling with anorexia and young girls are constantly being fed the wrong information and believing that if they need to weigh around 110-120 or else they're fat. Ugh! It makes me so angry. I remember playing the Mortal Combat video game back in college. They had the stats for all the chacters (weight, height, ability) and the Sonya character was apparently 5'11" and 120 lbs. I was like WTF!!!! She can't kick ass or have anykind of muscles at that weight. Apparently, that's what the guys who designed it believe a lean woman should weigh. Argh!
