Nookie, not “Nike”

Just ordered this book from Amazon. I heard our local radio personality interview the husband and I was intriged. Its about a middle-aged couple with two kids, who’s intimate life was struggling, so they decided~no matter what~they were going to “do it” for 101 days straight. A sex diet-cool! There was even an exercise ball mentioned… [...]

“Pepsi with that?”

Did an early morning shop at Wal•Mart this morning. I have a love-hate relationship with Wal•Mart. Its great for toiletries, paper goods and groceries, but their fruit & veggies are The Pits. Seems early Saturday is stock up time, and ’round the corner came a young  Wal•Mart Associate with a teetering tower of soda on [...]

Little Fat Book…

… is the brand name of the little spiral notebook I’ve been journaling my food calories in off and on. I think the name is apt, although “Little Fat” sounds oxymoronish to me. Today, I started journaling in it again–it keeps me focused and pretty honest. Started off the day right: oatmeal with a handful [...]

I waited 30 days for THIS!

     Tried to find an Old Grey Mare.  Hopefully, that’s not Barbaro up there. This has every potential for embarrassment. Wisely decided against the more flashy Galloping Race Horse. This here’s a race for plodders. If you don’t see an updated ticker for a while, it would be a kindness if you didn’t mention it.

Not Over the Hill yet.

I like the blog picture I have because I’m not over the hill yet, unless, of course, I’m looking behind me as I’m walking. It looks like a nice road. There might be some blackberry bushes growing along the side of it—I’ll have to look as I walk. There’s no litter, no other people, no [...]

“rrrrrrrrrrraaaaTTTT!”

Spied a RAT yesterday, scuttling into our barn. All I could hear in my head was that little French Chef on “Ratatoulle” screaming “rrrrrrrrrraaTT”! After investigation, seems he (they?) has been feasting on a bag of grass seed. As far as rats go, he looks like a nice rat. He’s brown, not grey. A humble-looking [...]

Sneeze w/o wetting pants? It Depends.

What a sight in the kitchen this morning! Husband is gimping around with a stiff leg and I’m trying to sneeze without inflating my lungs (see post below) or wetting my pants. Neither was successful. All I can manage is a tiny little “ahh-poof”–I feel like snot is going to come jetting out of my [...]

Ultimate Hag Stunt (do not try at home)

While we were in Florida at a friend’s house, I did the Ultimate Hag Stunt–fell on the stairs. Yep. They were having work done while we were there–wall paper removal– and the carpeted stairs were covered in a plastic drop cloth. Add flip-flops and a little water and you have the “I’ve Fallen And I [...]

I just flew in from Florida

… and boy are my arms tired! Ba-da-dump! And what do you do on vacation but eat lots of yummy food, drink lots of wine, then try to stuff the old bod into your lytex swimsuit. :0  Add my birthday dinner of last night to the fray and I’m back to ground zero on the [...]

Do you haz a happee?

Couldn’t you just bury your nose in this little guys neck?              
We leave for Florida early tomorrow morning, so this will be my last post for a week or so. I hope to come back and read of many victories here on everyone’s blogs. DH is staying home to [...]
