The herd is dancing in wildflowers
That's my cheerful image for us all.
Kiwi, I'm so sorry if my mean teasing came at the wrong time for you. I would't hurt you for anything. And congratulations to Sweetie Pie on her marvelousweight loss. |
what a spectacle !!!!!!!!!to see all these fine, voluminous,apron guts flapping in the spring -------------- dancing lightly on aching hooves.
|
dancing cows!
LOLLOLLOL
Ever notice, Bagzie, that when you lose a little weight, the apron gut seems to hang even more. Are we all going to be left with flabby skin? :o Extra hugs to depressed cows today:grouphug: |
WOW!!!! it's a good thing Kiwi has been avoiding church services lately---they are poisoning the coffee at the snack table----PEACHERS DON'T GO TO MEETING THE NEXT TIME YOU VISIT KIWI!!!!!!!!!--- i am already tired of counting points-----what IS the point????this can get depressing----------------thanks for the hugs sugarbug

Arsenic probe follows fatal church coffee klatch

"This is no accident," said Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety. In a written statement, McCausland said investigators had found arsenic in brewed coffee served at the meeting at Gustaf Adolph Lutheran Church in New Sweden. Arsenic also was found in "biological samples from the victims," he said. "This investigation has produced no evidence that supports a conclusion that the arsenic was introduced into the brewed coffee accidentally," he said. McCausland said tests done on the tap water, sugar and coffee grounds used for the brewed coffee all tested negative for arsenic. The parishioners became ill after the meeting, where they all had something to eat and something to drink. Church elder Walter Morrill, 78, died. The other 15 church members remain hospitalized with arsenic poisoning. Investigators are trying to interview the entire church congregation, and plan to reinterview the sick parishioners and their families. |
Wow. That's sounds like something that would happen in Oregon. We've had our share of strange goings ons around here. I think we're up to 3 men who have killed their entire families in the last year. And of course, we were the home of the Rashneshee's and they tried to poison a salad bar in a small town in eastern Oregon a few years back. I think it all has something to do with small towns and months of bad weather.
I noticed the white asparagus at our grocery store. It was something like $3 a pound. We eat tons of the green variety. yummers. I make a sauce of 1/2 C. mayo, 1/4 C. sour cream, 1 T. horseradish, 1 T. vinegar, dash tabasco, salt, pepper & 3 T. parmesan. It will knock yer socks off. Tomorrow is bunco night again. I plan on eating and drinking to excess. I went and had a manicure and a pedicure yesterdayafternoon. It was heaven. I'd worked in the yard all morning yanking out horrible horrible perennial geraniums that have taken over my flower beds. At first I thought they were pretty until I realized they intended to go to seed and gobble up my whole yard. I actually paid money for the first one a few years back. It should have come with a warning tag. I don't know how, but I'm starting to sound like Martha Stewart. Somebody slap me. I'm sorry that everyone seems to be going through a slump. I am too and I can't even figure out why. Say it over and over - things will get better, things will get better, things will get better..... |
yikes!
Perennial geraniums sound really, really scary, Wabby!:o
I did 30 mins on the cross-trainer today. Probably won't be able to walk tomorrow. |
hahahahshahahahahaha----next year we will ALL go to Thailand together for the pageant---i plan to win this one
From The Associated Press: May 1, 10:26 AM EDT Large is Beautiful At Jumbo Queen Pageant SAMPHRAN, Thailand (AP) -- Rolls of glitter-sprinkled fat draped over the ladies' elbows. Their double and triple chins were caked in layers of foundation and blush. And when the Jumbo Queen contestants performed their dance numbers, the flab below their armpits jiggled. But the 25 women relished being big and beautiful at the annual pageant that celebrated their oddness in a country where slender and petite frames are the norm. "There are beauty pageants for people who are slender, and that's one form of beauty," said Kamonlak Chaichanajetjumnong, a 32-year-old contestant who weighs 187 pounds). "Then there's the pageant for us, and it's another kind of beauty. We are beautiful in our hearts and in our faces," said Kamonlak. The Jumbo Queen this year was Nongnuch Paynguleaom, who weighed in at 209 pounds and went home $1,200 richer. Advertisement The 25-year-old, who is majoring in hotel and tourism at the Siam University in Bangkok, believed her dance number was the winning ticket. "This stage could make me famous," Nongnuch said. "I want to be an actress, and this is a chance for me to show off my abilities." The Jumbo Queen event was staged at the Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo, 25 miles west of Bangkok, as part of the zoo's annual Jumbo Banquet elephant feast. The winners were judged not only by their weight but also by their performances in talent contests and questions thrown at them by the hosts - Ornapa Krisadee, Thailand's leading transvestite actress and make up artist, and Tanongsak Supagam, a male actor. All contestants performed dances to Western pop and rock music as their talent display. Previous Jumbo Queens have gone onto local fame, acting in soap operas and performing in music videos. Arunothai Kanjanasatit, 25 and 232 pounds, who failed to win anything last year, was the runner-up this time, winning a cash prize of $715. "I tried to be more careful this year. I gained some weight, too," Arunothai said. "I want to stay the weight I am now because if I were skinny, I might not look as fresh and bright as I do now." Most of the women looked at the pageant as a way to make fat friends. They say these new friends understand the difficulties they may face in society and additionally make ideal shopping partners for the extra-extra-large sizes. |

Don't you all find it pathetic that I look forward to Bunco so much? Does that tell you how fascinating my life is? My sister has a friend who goes to "Goddess parties", which is a bunch of women getting together once a month and eating food, and drinking wine. Which is kind of Bunco, but without the dice. Bagzie, are you hitting the margies already? :D |
Gosh, thanks for all the hugs and good vibes. And I do like the image of this herd prancing about in the posies. I had a day out today, which was a lovely relief from being cooped up in this dump. Went to the "big city" (i.e. in the other direction from New Sweden :eek: ), had my retina Dr. followup, everything looks good. Got a whopping giant bill :fr: that insurance will only cover part of, but went to skinny dietitian friend's house, got dog kisses (from friend's dog, not from friend- BE NICE), went out to lunch and then to the cheap movies: $3 to see.....drum roll, please............CHICAGO!! . It was fun, fun, fun. Then I drove home and went out to Friday beer night. Feel much better now, thank you.
Isn't that wild (in a horrible way) about the arsenic poisoning? They say that the people who are still in the hospital will probably suffer a lot of long term health consequences from it. You know what I think? I think some nasty kids found the stuff and thought they'd play a prank, not knowing they could kill people with it. Of course it could have been deliberate, but nobody has come up with any suspects or motives, so my theory's as good as any. Certainly better than the one I heard on the radio today -- someone thought maybe it was "a hate crime against Christians". Oh brother. Because Christians are such a persecuted minority in this country, right? Poisoning the coffee does freak me out personally. I drink coffee just about everywhere I go -- I had a cup at the eye doctor's office today. Eek. Guess who I know who lives in that town? Remember Muse-Touched Mary? She lived in Washington (state), and had a friend who moved to New Sweden, and she put her onto me. I think her name is Sonya, I have her ICQ # and I've gotten messages from her a few times. She had a pile of kids and had twin babies after she moved there. That place is pretty isolated. Wow, I just looked at my ICQ history, and the last time I ICQ'd her was 5 years ago, just after her twins were born. A manicure and a pedicure -- sounds like heaven. That's interesting about the geraniums -- I didn't know they were invasive like that -- that must be why people grow them in pots and barrels so often. We had some growing in some nice rustic half-barrels when we moved here, but we killed them. We killed the strawberries and probably the rhubarb by now, too. A green thumb I do not have... However I am good at playing with colors on here. Kiwi |
[COLOR=darkblue]I can see Muse Touched spiking some coffee. But I agree with you, Kiwi, kids would do something like that. Too bad it wasn't just good old LSD. They could have seen God.
Wabby, I don't know why you think it is sad to look forward to Bunco. I WANT a Bunco night. It sounds like so much fun. Bagz, I want to enter a fat girls' pageant I'm sure I'd win bathing suit. Does everyone remember that I have a pool and must entertain in a bathing suit a month from today???????. I want fatness to come back into style. I'm sick of counting points already. I don't want to come to an acceptance of my chunkiness. That is too depressing. Also, I'm so tired. When is my post-menopausal zest going to kick in? Sugar, it sounds like you're really losing...I'm so impressed..and jealous. Poor DD got her hand slammed in the car door today. She still went out tonight. Now I feel like a bad mother for letting her go. What if her hand turns out to be broken...though it showed no signs. I'm showing my son the smiles..... :cool: :?: :D :angel: :T :bravo: |
Just for y'alles information, I'm weighing a little more than 140 and feeling firmer.
This is what I did in case you wanna know:
Isn't that amazing? I don't know why I'm doing it. It's not like I have anybody making eyes at me. |

y'alles? Is that French?
My shoulder is killing me. That's because I'm using the bad chair. We actually spent several hours yesterday cleaning up the porch. DH's smoking porch :tied: (too bad there's no smiley for barf). Fortunately we were able to take stuff outdoors and sort it. We still have much more to do of course. But it's nice to work outside this time of year -- finally warm enough but no bugs yet (wait a few days) My DD is getting search hits on her diary site for some very odd searches: sock fetish gay and grampa gay How creepy is that? Of course, she's the one that keeps saying gay and sock fetish in her diary... I have nothing to say. I don't even know why I'm posting. Kiwi |
I must be really bored
Because I enjoyed your post, Kiwi!:lol: Sock fetish: it boggles the mind.
Spent the day fiddling around in the garden and will probabyl spend the rest of the evening fiddling around online. The internet is sooooooooo boring sometimes. Are you at Bunco now, Wabby? I'm envious. |
Please elaborate on shoulder, Kiwi.
Yes, the internet is boring, Sugar. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all go to Bunco together? |
I'm here, I'm fat, and I have a cow tea-kettle. A tea-cattle!
I'm starting a new diet in addition to the pointy thing (my fat self is eating 22-27 ppd.) I'm going to eat brown rice, veggies, and chicken or fish for lunch and dinner 6 days a week! That'll work! |
Cherry, you're doing well....177 down from 191 is good. I agree about the food choices. It isn't just how much we eat, it's what we eat, too. I do so much better if I limit my carbs to brown rice...a la the Peachbutt plan.
It is DS12/13's birthday. I have a lot to do. I have already visited my mom, gone to bulges, gone to the food store and to the post office. Aren't I a wonder? Now I'm going to put his cake together then watch Law and Order to take a rest. He is getting an electric guitar. I also plan to spend part of the day cleaning, too. Somebody come around and keep me company. Like Wabby, how was Bunco? Where's Sugar...she should have posted by now. L |
Sugar's being naughty
I'm messaging with Stevie. No time to post.
I have made excellent food choices today and may exercise later |
I disapprove. Why is Steve more important than me??????? I demand to be uppermost on your list of priorities.
Therefore, I will punish you with a list: 1.get book on tape It's a pretty good, it is called Basket Case 2.log points I'm doing that right now.... 3.wash to laundry room/shift wash done 4. chop stuff for clam chowder ok 5. make burgers 6. trash out ok 7. dust everything 8. transfer money I'm trying but the @#$%& site won't let me in, do you think they'll let my check bounce? 9. clear kitchen table done 10. tidy fr i'll get a kid to do this... There, now you'll think twice about ditching me |
The shoulder pain is just like yours, I expect, Lush. Just too much surfing. Wow, I can't believe you've got a teenaged son now!!
I'm going to go make little meatballs for dinner. No brown rice. This is unbelievable: Go read this DH and I just screamed at each other for 15 minutes about how to set up some thing on the computer. We're over it now--only because I refused to let him get away with "fine, I'll just do it your way (and pi** and moan about it while I do it)". Tough love. :drill: :yikes: <-- That's us. Kiwi |
wellllllllll---that was funny Kiwi but you must be stalking Brattie as she posted right after that---i like that when brattie and dahlia left they just ditched us without ever looking back----very mature of them,very un dusty like----------------i approve and yet am strangely disappointed that Peachers didn't fight them to the end----HAHAHAHAHAHAHA i was so keen on points counting i almost joined wws on line----i would have wasted 85 dollars because i hate it already-------the only good thing that has happened is ----i am walking ---twice today and tonight i plan to do weights--------------i find counting points depressing,yet i find being fat depressing,so you would think i would choose pointing,but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i choose eating----------------this is very sad==============is there NO answer out there????that doesn't involve deprivation????WABBY----you lost all that weight----how did you ever get the motivation????SOMEONE GO FIND FRAPPE AND SEE IF SHE GAINED BACK THE WEIGHT FROM THE FASTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Kiwi! I loved the jelly fish story!
Hey cowsies, we'd have so much fun if we had a bunco night! I had a blast with my 3d friends, and I actually won the boobie prize, which means I came home with $7 in my pocket (of course it cost me $7 to play, but that's beside the point. ) My friend made homemade lowfat corn chowder (she's on WW) and sub sandwiches, and we finished it off with pie ala mode. But the best part is I laughed and laughed and had sooo much fun. I only meant it's pathetic that I look so forward to bunco because I should be having a blast more often than once a month. 2 of my 3d friends have twisted my arm into starting WW with them on weds. night. I have 2 more days to eat!!! Oh well, these are 2 very good friends so we can suffer together, it will be less painful that way. Kiwi, I'm so glad you had a good day in the big city, and you got to have some fun. Wasn't Chicago the best? I loved that movie. I watched About a Boy on video yesterday - very good movie, even though Hugh Grant is just not my favorite actor, I'm still holding a grudge for humiliating poor little Elizabeth Hurley:o ;) Bagzie, of course you hate WW's. It's a boring tedious thing to count points for every little morsel you pop in your mouth. Much more fun to go out to lunch and never think of calories or fat grams, but eventually we won't be able to sit in those cute little chairs at the most fashionable cafes. We will have to frequent the restaurants with the booths with the vinyl seats that our chubby thighs will stick to in the hot summer weather. Eventually we'll be ashamed to shovel food into ourselves in public, and will have to frequent the drive up windows of fast food restaurants, rush home with our big macs and biggie fries and eat all by ourselves. Do you see where this is all leading???? Yes! bed ridden, sending our loved ones out for our fixes of Double Whoppers with onion rings, an oreo pie and large chocolate shake. Whattaya think? you going to count points???? :lol: And don't ask me how I got the motivation, because I just don't have a clue now. And look how fast I gained it back. I don't know if I'm more jealous of the Peaches claim of weight loss of her claim of firmness. The only firm part of my body is the very top of my head. Cherry, you can be proud of yourself. You're so dedicated. Thanks for the list, Lush. Hey you homewrecker, Sugar P, get back over her and post!! What does Stevie have that we don't???? |
yeah, Kiwi...what I really want to know is if you went to the dr and what he told you to do. I am too lazy to go to the dr.
Wabby, that is so machure to realize that WW is boring but we have to do it anyway. Bagzie, it is very un-machure to think that it will be fun to starve yourself. Here is the awful truth. We're still going to be old after we're thin. Gawd...shoot me. I have the sounds of a Fender Strat wailing through my house instead of a gentle acoustic guitar. This may have been a mistake. I made a cake that no one is eating...I purposely made it chocolate so that I wouldn't be tempted. However, I do have Healthy Choice Mint Chocolate Chip in the fridge. I'm a bore. I feel Peaches should post. I feel she should stalk Dabrat for my entertainment. Sugar's kind of a bad girl, isn't she? |
I am not stalking anyone. Sugar is a good girl. Well, no, Sugar is bad. That "Oy" email was just bad.
Tonight was awards night at ds's school. He got awards for outstanding performance in algebra II, honors English I, performance on the FCAT (standardized thing) and World History. He hasn't taken World History. Pretty impressive, I think, to have done so well in a class you didn't take yet. |
Woo!
My weigh-in was 178 (so I'll just leave my sig at 177), but my waist was DOWN 1 inch and my hips were DOWN half an inch. Yay! Wabby, you'll be a WW success story! Everyone at my work is on WW and it's working for them. I'd rather use the money for workout tapes (if I had money) so I'm sort of vicariously playing along. One girl has lost a lot of weight... she's probably gone from 26 or higher to about size 20, and she's still losing. My coworker is in size 12 from size 16. My points for the day: 34. Allowed 22-27, with 3 points for today's workout. So, I was 4 points over. |

Lush, you know I never go to the doctor. Actually I made an appt. for a physical for a couple of weeks from now. I fully expect to have to cancel it, though, because my sis is going to calve and I'll have to hop in the car and go catch my little niece. It's only about a 25 hour drive, do you think I'll make it in time? Anyway, if I ever get to a doctor's appt, I will in fact ask him about this shoulder, but I know it is either tendonitis or bursitis or they'll call it repetitive stress injury, which amounts to the same thing. And I would not be surprised to hear something along the lines of "if it hurts when you do that, don't do that". That's why I don't go to doctors. I have a problem with paying good money for such wisdom. Just got the insurance statement from my retinal specialist visit (the first one). Horribly, I met the individual yearly deductible of $1000 with more to spare. Some of it wasn't covered because the fee was too high! And I just went to this deluxe place again the other day. Good grief! Why don't doctor's offices give you a price list? Would you buy a car without knowing how much it cost? I don't buy a candy bar without how much it costs! Oh ****'s Bells. Oh by the way, Lush, your mistake was not in giving DS the electric guitar. It was in giving him an amp. :s: Congrats to the Peachboy! Leave it to him to do well in classes he doesn't even take. He could probably do well in the whole high school curriculum without taking it. Kiwi |

At bunco the other night one of my friends said something about me being the older sister. Well let me tell you, I set her straight. Both my sisters play bunco and one of them is 6 years older than me. I'm the MIDDLE sister!!!!! Maybe it's because my older sister isn't fat. My friend backpedaled and said it's because I just seem to be the older sister because I'm so responsible. Which didn't make me feel any better. I'm sick of being responsible. Just once it would be nice to be known as the wild and crazy one. :cb: One of the guys here discovered that those chocolate oranges are on sale at the Grocery Outlet store here for a buck apiece. I swear he bought a bushel and they're all sitting here in my office. How can I be good with candy everywhere??? We all know the answer to that. I can't.:s: |
Kiwi, docs are useless when it comes to joint problems. When I hurt my shoulder, the doc told me "osteoarthritis starts early." Idiot. It was just a repetitive stress injury.
Lush, as soon as I get thin, I'm going to start working on getting younger. I might have better luck with the second. |

I'm on my countdown to Weight Watchers - I have the rest of the day to eat, then I put the brakes on it. :(
What should I have for my last meal? I think that may be why I'm so fat now, I've had way too many last meals. I'm going to quit moaning about getting old. A friend just stopped by and he's recovering from aeortic anyresym (sp???) surgery. He had his 60th birthday today and he said he's so happy to be alive he'll never gripe about his birthday again. And maybe I'll even quit griping about being 40 pounds overweight, I could be 60 pounds overweight, or 80 or ??? |
I would eat an entire large bag of Doritos for my last meal. But that's just me.
Remind me to pick up DD at dance class at 9:00; she went over to a friend's house for the afternoon, so I might forget. My life is so stupid: I spent 2 hours this afternoon racing back and forth to town to mail a package. I had to pick DD up at school to get her to an orthodontist appt, so of course I was running late and I needed to wrap and send these presents for my mother and didn't have time to do that before I left (I've only been putting it off for about 3 weeks), so I took wrapping paper, the presents, the cards, scotch tape with no dispenser (couldn't find that), and pens with me in the car. I forgot the scissors, which made it challenging to wrap the presents, which I did while DD was waiting for her appt. Then we went to the p.o. where I assumed I could get a Priority Mail box or buy one that would fit, but none of them looked like they would fit (they sell them broken down), so I bought the most likely one and had to take it back out to the car because it had to be taped together. I started taping it together (with scotch tape :rolleyes: ) and realized it would never fit the present, so I drove home. When I got home I scoured the house for a box and ran around like a madwoman trying to pack the box, because the p.o. was closing in 20 minutes and it takes at least 10 to drive there. So I sent this way-too-big box to my mother, very hastily packed, 2 weeks late for her birthday, and probably will be late for Mother's Day even though I sent it Priority, but I got it out. What a ridiculous way to spend an afternoon. Don't I lead an exciting life? Kiwi |
Kiwi's exciting life
Sounds just like something I'd do, Kiwi. :D
I accompanied 29 first graders to the zoo today and cannot possibly post. Post traumatic stress. People should post. Did you all gets lives or something? We all know Wabby has a life, but what about the rest of the herd? |
Oh my dear! It was worse than I thought. My official WW weigh in amount was 170. I'm distraught. WW scales are brutal. I'm now counting each and every little point worth of food that goes in my mouth. I'm determined, though. Again.
I went to the boobie bobbin' doctor this morning. This is the guy whose actually going to do it. I have a surgery appointment with him for August 14th. He's taking off about 4 pounds of boobage. It doesn't sound like much (considering the big, and I mean big picture, but he said to buy a 5 pound bag of potatoes, throw a couple out, then hang it by a sling around my neck for a day and imagine how much better my back is going to feel without it. So y'all wish me luck. Maybe I can get an addition 10 or 15 pounds off before the surgery date. :^: Kiwi, I want to know just who thought up this gift wrapping thing anyway. Martha Stewart? Mrs. Hallmark? Your mom won't care if she receives the perfectly sized box for her package anyway, just that you sent her something. Why aren't men responsible for gift buying, wrapping, sending? Who set us up for this? Sugar, you deserve an afternoon nap for service above and beyond the call of duty. ;) |
i'm back to one anded typing it is hard. i think it may be permanent so i'm trying to really learn.
wabby, at least your boobs aare probably bigger than your gut.... no such luck here. poor sugar. 29 first graders. i'll bet you wondered who were residents and who were visitors by the end of the day. kiwi, your mom already knows all your good qualities and will not care sbout a late preseny. my whole family is going away on sat night and i will have the house to myself for 24 hrs. am i the envy of all my friends????? i will learn capipalization next week xxoo |
You're quite right
Good ol' Mom will not be shocked at her late (and unwieldly) present. I dare say she will be impressed that it actually showed up at all.
Good grief, 29 first-graders at the zoo? That sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. For Sugar and for the animals! I feel your pain, Lush. Literally. Although I have to admit I can type, it's mousing that kills me. I have a lovely ergonomic keyboard on a pull-shelf just the right height for typing. That's on one computer; on the other one, the desk is pretty high but also spacious so I can just rest my whole forearms on the desk while I type there (although I don't spend too much time typing on that one) You shouldn't have any problem losing a few pounds by August, Wabbit. You'll feel so much better after losing that extra boobage, you'll get all active and fit and stuff afterwards too. :high: Right!? I should start counting points too. How much are 4 saltines with cheddar cheese melted on top? So I would have to eat something between 22 and 29 points, isn't that about right? I think I can safely assume that no foods are less than 1 point, so if I consume less than 29 items in a day, that's a start, no? :lol: Let me see, I had 1 bowl of cereal with 1/2 cupskim milk, 1 glass of juice, 3 cups of coffee, 1 oz of cheddar cheese, 1 bag of Smart Food popcorn, 1-1/2 chicken patties, 1 helping of pasta, 1 helping of mixed veggies, 1 salad with homemade garlic croutons and toasted pine nuts (mmmm), and aforesaid saltines with cheese. I eat way too much cheese. I figure that's about 18 or 20 things. I'll never lose weight this way. I've gone insane. Kiwi |
cheese is my downfall
I also eat way too much cheese, but it's soooooooo good, isn't it? Actually, I seem to have lost all cravings for crap and am holding at 157.5. Maybe this will finally work. I just realized what I'll look like at 50 if I don't start now. :o
29 first graders were divided between 4 moms and a teacher, but still...I got six of them to lord it over. The kids were ok, it was just the teacher who is sweet but was tremendously disorganized (nothing new for her) and totally miscalculated the time. We missed our train back and had to wait half an hour for the next one and couldn't reach any of the parents who were waiting at the train station to pick up their darlings. No one got hysterical though. This teacher must be in her late 30's and she has this very unique style. She's a bit plump, red hair, horn-rimmed glasses, 5 earrings in each ear, purple bell-bottoms, green nail polish and very strange eye make up. The kids just adore her. |
One thing about this counting every little morsel of food- what you do eat sure tastes good. Kiwi, almost all veggies are zero points, coffee is zero points, so there are some things you can fill up on that don't cost you. We went to a restaurant last night where you pick out a couple of bowls of veggies (and noodles and meat if you're not WW'ing) and then they cook it up for you. I can eat a whole plate full for only about 5 or 6 points.
Poor Lush, don't bother to capitalize, we don't care, as long as you post. :^: The big goal for the day is to actually get in some activity and drink water. Sugar, as long as teacher doesn't pierce her tongue, I'm all for her having an eclectic style. At least she has a style, I have the suburban housewife look going for me. |
