I don't like it when I post in the morning, am gone all day and then when I check back no one has posted after me. If I post again, I feel like I'm talking to myself. Oh well.
We have Coldstone Creamery here instead of Cows. A new one just opened not more than 2 miles from my house. I remember that picture, Bagzie, I think I may still have it on my old computer.
OK, I guess I really didn't have anything to say, although that's never stopped me from posting.
At least he was warm to snuggle against at midnight, even though he was unconscious. Ya gotta look at the bright side.
I think in this case, you may have overstepped the bright side... Sorry to hear the fish-man was such a New Year's Eve bore.
Here's something on my dh that needs fixing: he seems to think that "borrowing" things from the kid is the same as her borrowing stuff from us. Can't get it that he is supposed to be the adult in the situation. He asked to borrow DD's CD walkman a few days ago to record something off it, which she was fine with. Then he "borrowed" it without asking yesterday for the same reason. She was p-o'ed and I don't blame her -- actually she was on the verge of tears when she complained to me. I told him today that he really upset her and he claims to be frustrated by the whole thing, keeps pointing out an old CD player that he let her use for years which then broke. Good grief, don't they ever grow up?
I have that pic, Bagz. Want me to post it? I want some Cow Ice Cream. I love PEI. Can I post the photo of you with your hands in a bag of meat?
Durn I have a lot of stuff to do and I don't want to do it. Can you say LAZY? So far I haven't turned over any new leaves in the new year, it was just a hiccup apparently.
I am a proud mama. I chose a small amount of money, doubled it, and donated to one of the agencies working with tsunami victims. I told DS that I had donated for the two of us. He told me that he had gone into the Red Cross office and donated twice as much. Red Cross is next door to my work office.
OK, Wabbs, I missed out on the hula hoop bandwagon. Please explain to the blonde.
And I'm not sure what Kiwi's avatar is... an Alien Santa hovering over a mug?
I am famished.... only v8 since arising and it's 2:30 in the afternoon. Crazy Painter. Have bazillions of "oughts" running through my mind. I guess I'll have a ham sandwich first and review my TO DO list. Don't have to return to work/clients until tomorrow. Did you all do resolutions this year? I am feeling a compulsive need to make some, and yet I don't want to make ridiculouslyhuge ones and be disappointed. How fear-based is that. What a wuss.
(And where did THAT word originate, anyway?)
Stay warm... and appropriately dry.
True. The actual bright side is that he's been trying to make up for it ever since.
Oh yeah. That works. I JUST DID 2 MILES WITH LESLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was very nice to me.

Close. It's a little china piggie with a roach clip on a wire sticking out of his back. And the squiggly santa hat is a computer graphic. I'm all about fussing with useless details in order to waste vast amounts of time. It's what I do.
I'm marinating pork cutlets in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, onion, rosemary and pepper for dinner tonight. With brown rice I need to go cook. Must find veggies. Ta.
Hi Cows! I'm sorry I didn't stop in sooner-- had a cold, then strep, and still haven't shaken all the nastiness off.
I gained back all the weight I lost at WW, but I've already re-lost 5 pounds of it. WW didn't work for me. You can see the details on my blog. However, I like the points system, so I'm still using it. The most important thing is keeping my groggy burnt out self out of the candy machine during the semester. My worst habit is sucking down Reese's peanut butter cups to stay awake. School is cool. I finished my second semester last month and start my next semester in a week and a half. Then the madness starts again and I might not get to pop in until April. Peachie, your DS's site is very cool! Does he write Afghanistani Annie? It's very funny. Hello to all other cows. I think of you often.

A roach clip, eh?
So who loses weight while fighting the munchies?
After posting last night I got sooooooo sleepy. I actually went to bed (before 9 pm!!!) and slept straight through. I'm dozy again in front of the computer. Maybe it has to do with what I write about, you think? I'll catch up with y'all later.
Painty, meet Cherry. Cherry, this is Painty our new Texas girl. Painty, Cherry has been with us a long time but vanishes into other interests from long bits of time.
Cherry, how sweet of you to read so far back that you know about DS's site. Yes, that's his famous cartoon strip. If you feel like it, email him and tell him you like it. I'll know when he blushes.
I missed the roach clip thing. What a role model! You expect the rest of us to stay drug free?
Hey Cherry!!! Good to hear from you. I don't go to WW anymore either. Not that I feel that it doesn't work for me, it's just that I've decided that I need to make this a way of life, and that doesn't include going to weekly meetings for the rest of my life. The way I eat is loosely based on the WW program, but I've modified it to fit me. You sound busy, but happy.
I went on a 4 mile stroll w/ Leslie this morning. Kinda have a little headache now. Hope it stays little.
How did those pork cutlets turn out Kiwi? Your dinner sounded delish.
Bunco Saturday night. woo-hoo! As always, the center of my social life.
My worst habit is sucking down Reese's peanut butter cups to stay awake.
Very dangerous, aren't they? Great to see you drop in here, Cherry! What are you studying these days?

Hey. Totally for descriptive purposes -- DD gave me that! It's for holding notes. I think.
Really, I was hoping somebody was going to write "What's a roach clip?"

There were pretty tasty -- I think I overcooked the pork a bit. But it was excellent with the onions.
Hope your headache scrams. Or ceases and desists. Or something.

Kiwi, what planet do you think this bunch of old bats was on during the 70's? What is a roach clip indeed. Why, Sissy traveled with the Merry Pranksters!
I will not address daughters who give their mamas roach clips. I have teenagers myself, I am all in favor of being delusional.
I am best walking buddies with Leslie. I can't imagine spending more than 2 miles with her, isn't it boring? I haven't heard her voice, yet. I keep the TV on while we're walking. I have quit on other walking buddies in the past because they wouldn't shut-up.
Cherry, it is wonderful to see you. As all of you see, I have not sent Christmas cards. I fully intended to send New years cards....now it may be Valentines...we'll see. I have never been less busy at Christmas time as I have this year, and I accomplished less.
I'm trying to get my warsh done. bye
Wabby, I agree with you about meetings... I want to make this a lifelong thing and I just can't make it to meetings every week for the rest of my life!
I'm studying Library Science. I want to get my MLS and be either a youth services/ children's librarian or a school librarian.
Lushie, it was a miracle that I got my Christmas cards out at all! I mailed them on Christmas Eve!!
I'll catch up with y'all later.
