Diet sabotage…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
My friend G brought over a container of Christmas cookies the other day. I have managed to pick out all my favorites and am trying to convince The Curmudgeon to please eat all the rest so they no longer tempt me.
Thank goodness she knows what ones I like the best and kept them to a minimum. At least she warned me that she was bringing some cookies. She gets that I am trying hard to lose weight.
The Curmudgeon never warns me, he always manages to sabotage my diet by bringing home irresistible chocolate candies. I don’t think he gets it.
My will power is almost non-existent since I quit smoking over a year ago. Sweet things especially are impossible for me to resist. That’s why I don’t buy any when I go grocery shopping.
I keep hoping I’ll find my self-control again. Have you seen it?
You all have a good one.

Will 2013 mean better TV shows?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I quit watching the TV program Fringe when it went past the world of weird science and wandered into just plain weird.
I stopped watching Castle when I could say far too many lines before the actors on the new shows, not the reruns. Yes, it got that predictable.
I quit watching Burn Notice when they went into full-out violence and lost the clever factor.
I quickly stopped watching Person of Interest because it was far from interesting.
In NCIS LA I like Hetty (Linda Hunt) who has a very small part on the show. I don’t like the lack of heart but plenty of gun play the show doesn’t come close in the story factor that NCIS has. I never have warmed up to the rest of the cast. Therefore, I don’t watch it.
I refuse to watch reality shows.
Do you think that 2013 might just bring us real entertainment and not more dumbass reality shows? Oh, please, please, please!
You all have a good one!

If they can’t teach good sportsmanship, maybe they should get rid of sports.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
After game violence again. I find this revolting.
I for one think there is too much emphasis on sports and too little on the sciences, maths, literature, the arts and music. Maybe if top science, math, and literature students were treated more like the premium students they really are we’d have more nerds, fewer jocks, and an incredible number of intelligent people walking about.
Please, please, please let there be more emphasis put on learning than playing games.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a child’s hero was a scientist, mathematician, literati, Artist, or a musician rather than some clown who makes millions running around playing with a ball?
Please, hand your child a book instead of sports equipment…we need smarter kids.
You all have a good one.
TV, crap as usual…

Man, could TV possibly get any worse? I am so glad that some of my favorite off-channel shows are coming back on. What they are running on the big three is pure garbage.
Hooray for TNT, Syfy, USA, History and the Science channel. Without them, The Curmudgeon would drive me up a wall and around the bend. (Yes, a very short trip for me these days.)
Are you also being driven crazy by the lack of decent TV?
You all have a good one!

Blessed
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I am not going to discuss the tragedies of yesterday. More than enough discussion has already been done all over the news and the internet. Let the healing begin.
Let us look into the blessings in our own lives. Did you wake up today? So did I and I am blessed because I did. Did you have enough to eat? I did and I am blessed because I am not hungry.
Did you have someone tell you they loved you? I did and I told him I loved him too. If you have children, did you hug them today? I don’t have kids but I did hug my dogs.
I took a walk…
I breathed fresh air…
I drove my car…
I E-mailed my friends…
My home is warm…
Yes, we are blessed.

Spoiled brat of a dog.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I had to laugh at Gavin yesterday. It seems that he fussed so much in his crate when The Curmudgeon came down in the morning, that TC took him out right away instead of making Gavin wait until his meds kicked in.
When nap time rolled around Gavin went into his crate only to fuss like crazy five minutes later. I figured it out. He only had his crate mat and no towel to roll up in. Poor baby!
I threw a towel into the crate and within seconds he began to snore.
You all have a good one!

Mish mosh of subjects.

The vitamin D seems to have done some good for The Curmudgeon. I did have him take extra on Tuesday and Wednesday he seemed to do very well. I’m looking forward to seeing if we get the same or better results next week.
Gavin has decided that it’s okay to yank my arm out of the socket when I take him out on the retractable leash. I put him back on a six-foot long training lead again. He’s not thrilled but at least the rest of the day he didn’t yank my arm off.
Patty didn’t want to play with Gavin today, she wanted to cuddle with her Daddy instead.
You all have a good one!

Vitamin D improvement a fluke or for real?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
The Curmudgeon was having real bad Tuesdays after he had his Avonex shot on Monday nights. So, we tried something new this week. After he had his shot, he took a double dose of vitamin D 1000 mg.
Surprise, he had a good Tuesday this week. Wow. Okay, now in hopes that this isn’t a wild fluke, he’ll repeat it next week.
Keep your fingers crossed that we found a way around his bad Tuesdays.
You all have a good one!

What is in the tapestry of your life?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
As we grow from childhood, to adult, and on to old age we weave a tapestry of a life, one would hope, that is well lived.
Each experience we have, lesson learned, and sorrow survived adds color and texture. The weave is either intricate or simple. The tapestry is long, short or somewhere in between.
I hope mine grows longer, more intricate, and continues to add plenty of texture and color.
What is your tapestry like?
You all have a good one.
