Piece of pie, anyone?

Here’s what today’s pie looks like. I have to go to bed right now so I don’t mess it up!
Hummm… if I ate one half an almond & five bread crumbs, and loped off the tip of my little finger (protein), it would be perfect.
Later… Crap! What happened to my pie? Hell, I’ll use this [...]

Helixes of black dog hair swirling lazily across the floor…

No, it’s not Dog Hair Hiku, it’s the reality of my house.
As sure as the leaves are beginning to change, our doggie is beginning to shed. He sheds all the time any way ~ don’t know why he isn’t bald ~ but its begun in earnest now. The dryer lint filter now has a blackish [...]

A good weekend to all and to all a good weekend

Yessss! The weekend! Nothing momentous planned ~ just plain relaxing.
Son has a friend over for the night and they want to go to the high school football game tonight. The pinnacle of the social week, don’t you know. It’s misting rain, and rain gear looks soooo uncool. I’m toying with the theory that if I [...]

Spark People

After reading various comments on different blogs here about the web site, Spark People, I mosied over to take a look and ended up signing up. It reminds me of “e-diets” and it’s FREE! I can log my food and get cool reports like Anne does: showing breakdowns of fats, proteins,and that other one I [...]

Post #104

Doesn’t that title just make you salivate to read more?
I waited on a table of OWLs (Old Women who Lunch) today. They were so cute! They were all in their late 70’s or older and let me tell you, those women chowed down with gusto. No wimpy doggie bags for them ~ they finished every [...]

Tally-ho wot wot!

The good thing about taking up riding again is… Shopping. Stopped into the local tack shop today to pick up a pair of riding pants, a helmet and a pair of short boots. I asked for help picking out pants, as for some reason, they are all European sizes. The young lithesome girl assured me [...]

Colds and the Miserable People that have them.

That was me this weekend. Add a dash of TOM and you have the recipe for a most UNhappy Hag. I hibernated up in the bed room, read and felt sorry for myself. Especially when none of the menfolk came up to witness me on my bed of affliction and offer to solicit to any [...]

Womp WOMP womp WOMP

The pounding beat of DJ’s music was making my feet itch to dance. I resisted any chicken head bobbing or pelvic thrusts as I dropped off son and a buddy at… TA-DA! His first dance.
I had come in to drop off a plate of cookies ~ the only way I could get inside ~ son [...]

Do not covet thy neighbor’s wife

Okay, I don’t covet her, just her weight loss! She’s lost 14 pounds in about three weeks. She’s following a South Beach style of eating, but not strictly. She eats a little this or that about every two hours ~ almonds, a hard-boiled egg, a couple of slices of turkey breast ~ stuff like that. [...]

This and that

Riding lesson was wonderful. I inhaled the aroma that is “horse” and enjoyed every minute of it ~ from the brushing before hand to the walking down afterwards. At home I actually cupped my hands and breathed in deep the smell of horse. Brings back many happy memories of saddling up my own horse when [...]
