Hello Matt Lauer

I found myself wide awake at 2am daydreaming.  Or night dreaming.  What do you call daydreaming when you do it in the middle of the night?  I was imagining that I wrote a book called "Mommy R.D."  In my daydream, writing the book was easy; I was mostly just editing former blog entries (even in my daydream I realized that I needed to do more than the lazy one draft that I usually do for a blog entry).  I also came up with some other new ideas for blog posts: I would have to talk about my health and eating growing up, what led me to pursue education in dietetics, more discussion about breastfeeding, the struggles that we have had introducing solid foods, and I would, of course, follow Gwen into toddlerhood with both her journey and my journey to eat healthy foods.  Throughout this journey I would lose 20 pounds and would exercise an hour each day, so I would have a wonderful dust jacket author photo and would be able to show other mommies that it is possible to be a healthy mommy.  Just before I went back to sleep, I had my imaginary interview on Good Morning America*.  Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie asked me about my inspiration and thanked me for my wonderful contributions to the diet and child rearing literary community.

*Based on some quick internet research that I just performed, I now know that Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie are not, in fact, on Good Morning America, but are on the Today show.  But I would be willing to meet with Matt and Savannah on the Today Show, or to go onto Good Morning America and talk to whoever is on there.  I think I would prefer the Today Show because then I could do the weather with Al Roker, which is pretty awewome.
