Decided to take a healthful walk down the field yesterday afternoon. As I strolled, I noticed the haphazard mow job my DH had done ~ he left half of the field unmowed! How can you leave half a field unmowed? So I screwed in my earplugs and got on the mower and mowed the entire [...]

Yard Sale-ing that is! This is the first Saturday morning I’ve had without having to go to school to help coach the Odyssey of the Mind teams since November, and it was painful to drive past all the Spring yard sales without stopping. Today’s the day! I’m on the look out for books, and that [...]

I had planned to start writing what goes in to my mouth. Early this morning it seemed like a good idea…
Breakfast: yogurt 100 calories
Snack: Fiber bar 130 calories
(And then at the store, a poor lonely buffalo chicken stromboli somehow was left over after lunch… calling me…)
Lunch: 2 slices of stromboli: I’m guessing 600 calories. :0 [...]

Yesterday, I went to a plant nursery and loaded up a double-decker dolly with a bounty of buds. As I unloaded them at home I wondered WHAT was I thinking. I have murky grey areas of control in two categories: food and flowers. After digging and grubbing about, I still have a good sized box [...]

DS was asked to give a speech for his end of year class awards ceremony. His first question to the teacher: “Can it be funny?” That’s my boy! I’m tellin’ ya, the right sperm met the right egg ~ they were probably laughing. Sperm: “Knock Knock!” Egg: “Whooooo’s therrrre?” Sperm: “Twenty years plus of parenting [...]

My “fat” pants are tight,
And my waist a disgrace.
Day Four of eating light,
A complete about-face.
Down two pounds from an all time high of 175 ~ gulp! The sole good thing about being chunkier is my boobs are definitely bigger and I find myself looking down at my cleavage a lot ~ like a 15 year [...]

Just watched a show called “Cook Yourself Thin” on the Lifetime TV network. Three attractive slender Brits show a guest how to prepare some favorite dishes in a healthier fashion and challenge her to lose a dress size in six weeks.
You’ll never guess: the guest always makes goal, and gushes how easy and delicious this new [...]
