Oh oh oh. I must tell you what ds and I have for dinner. He made me put bullets in the letter I was working on so I will use them here.

BULLET: turkey breast that you buy and it's cold and cooked and you slice off a chunk

BULLET: garlic bread made with this spread (they spelled it spred) found in the sour cream section. Bread was from the store bakery.

BULLET: artichokes steamed in the microwave (with water, lemon juice and olive oil)

BULLET: sauteed garlic, onion, potato and brussel sprouts.

WE IS HEALTHY!!!

We had a knife demonstration at our house yesterday. The "neighbor"'s kid is selling Cutco (neighbor in paren. because our closest neighbor is 2 miles away) and I got a new really expensive knife! (Well, one of the less expensive knives they sell, but still $$) Now I can cut anything.

My kitchen stinks. Maybe I can cut the smell.

Where is everybody, out having fun? You gotta lotta nerve.

So anyway, why do I keep signing my posts even though I have my name in my sig? Discuss.

perhaps you could sign them with an alias. What name were you using at the ashram in the 60s?

Something tells me he might not appreciate that. Happy Birthday to DS!!

We watched Syriana tonight. Wow, was that ever confusing. Plus George Clooney was looking like a pudgy college professor or something, so that was worse than confusing...

Hope Wabby's doing okay. Her family has so much to deal with, I don't blame her for not coming round, but if you're reading, Wabby, we miss you and hope you're managing.

Greetinks, all.
Reading about some of the kidults and just kids makes me happy to be so old that mine are up and grown and GONE. (Though I miss 'em just the same.)

I haven't eaten anything particularly divine except a slice of tres leches cake yesterday at lunch with two friends. It is amazing how having to look everything up, add the calories (after writing down quantities and content) is keeping me on the straighter and narrower. )

I went to Curves this am, and I suppose it is "good" news that I had to work faster and harder to get to my target heart rate. bleah. I always want things easy.

One of the lunch friends and I went to see "Evening" afterward as a matinee. Very nice mother-daughter content. Although Vanessa Redgrave was unrecognizeable in her part. (And I really am liking Toni Colette!)

DH was crabby this afternoon because (due to so much rain/humidity) one of the doors to the cabinet he is making has apparently warped. Frustration is not fun for anybody. But we went out for a nice dinner and browse at a used bookshop.

I'm glad to hear you are keeping with it, Painty! I am at least trying to do my stretches; I hardly feel capable of anything more at the moment.

Is everyone getting that "Bistro MD" ad on the right side of the page? I was curious how that gravy covered cardboard qualified as food, so I went to the site. I couldn't believe how awful the menus sounded. Nothing but artificially sweetened (I guess) carbs for breakfast, no fresh food apparently, yeck. Made me feel like making a healthy meal.

No, Darlin'. I got 21st.com. "Drivers Just Like You." I suspect it's implying that I have a driving problem but .. ha ha .. that's one problem I don't have.

Remember when Lush said the perfect man has to be a good driver? Do you think she's become one of those Tibetan goddesses? She was so smart. And speaking of smart, so are y'all.

Thank you, so are you. Speaking of, I just learned about a new profession: usability expert. Making products, documents, websites, etc. easy to use. Isn't that interesting? I'm such a geek.

I'm having trouble picturing Lush as a Tibetan princess. Please provide pictures.

Did you like my nickname from the 60s? Here's my nickname from the 70s/80s: I have to disguise it to discourage unauthorized searching....

A * r * t * h * y

good job of disguising it. Do we insert vowels like in the phone book?

All those numbers are supposed to have vowels between them? I have to go reprogram my phone.

i can't do acronyms ---thinking too much causes brain spasms---we are at a golf tournament today with ds13----i am thinking of joining Costco just for fun--the only thing i get my sister to buy there are sales books for the shop,but they are soooooooo much cheaper----how boring!!!---I AM GROWING TOMATOES AND BASIL--IN MY GREENHOUSE --- i felt so guilty about not using it to start plants this year i thought i would make use of it over the summer---so far,it looks good--i have a sign on the fridge that says---WATER THE TOMATO PLANTS!!!!|_--it would only take a few days before they wilted and passed out----dd23,dd21 and the exdh are in sugarland as we speak---they were at the Caracalla Therme in Baden Baden the other day spa=ing up a storm!!!MUST BE NICCCCCCCCCCCE. it has been rainy and not too warm lately--but the damn moskeeters are bad---we saw several little foxes on the course this morning---wierd---don't they get rabies and bite people??

I am joining Bagz in living vicariously through kids and am posting pics on Facebook to prove it. Shot's sock in progress is there. Shotsy do you go there or should I send you a link?
