Day one of the diet begins today.

    The first thing I did yesterday when I got out of bed was to weigh myself.  I will do this every Tuesday from now until I hit my goal.  Until I hit my goal, you will not know my beginning weight.  I will, each Tuesday, tell you the amount of loss or gain I have achieved.

     Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to cheer me on.  You can also kick me for not losing if you must. 

     I wish my printer would work with my computer because I would scan and post the picture  of the me that I intend to be again.

     You all have a good one!

Skinny here I come!

     I dragged out some of my very skinny me pictures and have them placed in strategic areas about the house.  They are to remind me of my goal.  My goal is to get back down to that weight.

     Next step is to get more exercise, that begins on Wednesday when I join the gym.  Any of my friends that wish to join me are welcome to but please do not sabotage me.  I am doing this for me, for my heart, for my health, and for my aching knees.

     Wish me luck!  I have failed on this a lot lately due to the tremendous stress here, laziness, and stress eating.  I must get this under control.

     You all have a good one!

 

Enough tears of my own

     If you see or receive something in your e-mail that makes you cry, please don’t send it on to me.  I have enough to cry over on a daily basis.

     Please do not send me pictures of abused animals and ask me to donate money to your cause.  I won’t look past the picture and will delete it immediately.

     Do not send me prayers and other religious things, I probably do not share your beliefs.  Do not send me any chain letters or other such crap.  You waste my time and yours.

     Do send me news of your accomplishments, your family, and your pets antics.  I am glad to hear and receive real news of you at any time.

      You all have a good one!

A couple of diet funnies for those of us trying to lose the fluffy we gained

how is diet going for you smokin hot

There will be no 2013 Pennwriters conference for me.

To all my Pennwriters friends… I will not be attending the Pennwriters conference this year.

The Curmudgeon’s tests have shown that he is having some seizure activity and he is not allowed to drive for a while. I do not feel as though I can go that far away from home for that long now.

Just think, I won’t be there to win baskets this year. However, this also means I won’t be there to donate my usual number of them either. I will miss you all very much. Please snag extra handouts, take copious notes, and send me copies!!!

I am crushed, heartbroken, devastated, and I will miss you all very much.

Ch ch ch changes….

     Today’s sunny weather had me craving Spring something fierce.  I can’t wait to go work in the garden and get walking again.

     I have hopes of making some rather large changes to the yard and garden this year.  The pond is going to have to go, I can’t do the upkeep alone, there were some things The Curmudgeon could do easier than I can and he can do them no longer.  Know anyone in PA who wants some lovely, large Koi?  Have them contact me.

     I’m hoping to install new stronger, dog-proof fencing between the yards, across the front, and down the alley side.  I want my poor dogs  able to run and play in their yard without me having to hold them on a leash every time they go out. 

     So far here’s what my Spring looks like:

  • Re-home Koi and fill in pond
  •  Find a fencing company
  • Build raised planting beds and patio with pergola

     Looks like I’ll be keeping a certain landscaping company in the money and working my buns off to boot.

     You all have a good one!

EEG is over now we wait…and wait…and wait

     I always wish test results were instant.  I hate waiting for them.  We probably won’t know anything for at least a week. 

     The Curmudgeon could not get home fast enough after they removed all the wires and glue-like crap.  He’d not showered for three days–this is a man who showers at least once a day.  It took three scrubbings for him to get most of the stuff out of his hair.

    He has three patches on his face where the ‘glue’ took off skin.  He’s not thrilled.  I’m disappointed that he wouldn’t let me get a picture of him in his scarf and fancy gauze covered wire braid.  He has no sense of humor sometimes.

     You all have a good one.

You don’z hab a scarf on, we knowz you now!

Update on what’s going on with The Curmudgeon this week.

HPIM0952

     The Curmudgeon is having an ambulatory EEG done.  This will take three days.  Yesterday began in the very early morning with them attaching wires to his head that run down a sleeve into a machine strapped on his waist.  A microphone is hooked to his shirt.

     He must wear the microphone all the time and use it for a long list of events, such as eating, brushing his teeth, going to sleep, waking up, taking meds, etc. 

He has a list of do and do not things too.  Day one is over, he’s gone to bed, and can’t wait for day three to be here and gone.  He is not a happy camper.  He’s complained about the wires, the kerchief on his head, and everything having to do with this.

    You all have a good one.

Whoohoo! Nightly romp!

I wish I’d said…

     How many times has that gone through your head?  Had a fight with someone and an hour later a brilliant riposte comes to mind…dang it… too little, too late. 

     Thinking of my baby sister and things I wish I’d said to her before she died.  Too late now.

     Telling my mother I loved her once again…wasn’t allowed to talk to her so that would be too late again.

     Thanking a dear friend for being my friend…he’s gone now…too late.

     Yes, there are many things I wish I’d said that I can’t say now…

     Here’s one I can say to a certain few people…even though you do not deserve it…  I forgive you.

      You all have a good one and be kind to each other.

No more snow…please?

     So, we had snow again.  I can’t tell you how tired of grey skies I am.  Yesterday, no sun and snow off and on all day.  Looks like we’ll have this fine snow all night–I’m typing this in the wee hours of the a.m.

     The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday says sun, that will be nice!  I’ve missed the sun.  Even so, having sun doesn’t mean warm.  The predicted temperatures for both days are 37 and 34 degrees Fahrenheit respectively.  I’d rather have 30 to 40 degrees more.

     Yes, I am looking forward to Spring.  I usually am by this time of year because I am not a fan of snow, ice, and cold.

You all have a good one!
