just a short thought

Going away for a few days, but I did just want to leave you with this thought:

oops. I mean “I’ll have a Diet Cokeā„¢ with my large chips and burger, thanks.”

You know, a couple of months ago Radio Boy walked in on a meeting of my writing group (there’s a link to it on the right there, if you’re interested) and he commented on how disgusted he was with us all. There, on the table between us, were our snacks: salads, dips with veggie sticks, more salads and some bowls of fresh fruit. Not a chocolate to be seen anywhere. Radio Boy said he’d never seen anything so healthy in his life, and he thought he’d stumbled into some sort of weird health cult instead of a writing group.

Heh. So much for the brain power of chocolate. We’re gonna work real hard to see that the weekend continues with lots of healthy eating, inspiration, and good fun.

Hope your weekend is as good as mine.

    I keep stealing your stuff - I liked the dog cartoon so much I printed it out. I also told my mum and family about your sheep that ate the rosemary bush in an “act of self-marination” (I think yow you put it). I thought that was priceless. :)
    Kudos on the healthy choices at the writing group and also on the determination to keep the week-end healthy. Hope your going away thing is for something nice.

    Yup - I hope my weekend is as nice as yours, too! (I think). Your writing group sounds obsessively healthy, feathers. I think you should bring a bowl of M&M’s the next time you go. That cartoon made me giggle here in the privacy of my office - sent it post haste along to DH and am waiting for a guffaw or two out of him!
    Cheers! (and hugs, of course :))

    Welcome back, Feathers! I’m glad you scheduled that colonoscopy. I had one a couple of weeks ago and lost 4 pounds for a couple of hours! ;-)

    Good point about the smokers. Funny, no one who cares about us would nag us about having a cigarette if we’d kicked the habit but no one seems to feel the same about food. Even good friends who really care about me encourage me to “take a break” and join them for pizza or drinks. What’s that about???

    P.S.- Still dealing with Mr. Scale. He really seems to have an attitude these days and I’m not too sure I want to take him on vacation with me!

    Have a wonderful weekend, I doubt mine will technically be as fun but I’ll try to make it so!

    Getting caught up today—have a few fun days away. Colonscopy—way to go, really-prep is the worst part. On my first one, I had 3 pre-cancerous polyps; am SOOOOO glad I let the doc talk me into it; AND it took SOME talking. I’m probably here today, at least still with normal piping, because of that man……I send him good thoughts frequently!!!!
