Mute Monday: Zip


The zippiest person I've ever known: my mother. Three weeks before this photo was taken, she'd given birth to Moi. Already she was back out in the mountains.

    that is a great picture, a great use of MM and clearly... a great person. Happy MM.

    I hope you're sitting on the couch with a cold Fresca, enjoying the after glow.

    Troll: She was spirited alright. And infectious.

    AB: Fresca, golf, and eBay!

    Aunty: Ran the race without tripping or falling off the mountain! Not my best time, but I finished in under 3:00, which is always my goal. Next year, I get serious :o).

    Kate: Thanks!

    I'll bet she's mighty proud of her little girl, as well she should be. zippy, huh, then you come by it honestly. Hit the pool Warrior Princess and enjoy you success, it is well deserved.

    Kudos to her! I knew a lady once that ran a race the day after having a baby. Good grief. Hope I look as good as your mum after having a baby :D

    The good old days just like in "The Good Earth" where the woman squats by the side of the field to give birth and then right back to picking rice.

    She's birthed you THREE WEEKS before that photo was taken??!! How is that even possible? She IS zippy... and svelte!

    That is so unfair.
