It is the beginning of a new week and today is the day and week that has no mistakes in it, so far, as Anne Shirley would say. Too bad, I can't say the same thing for this blog.
How about that time I spent on Cruella, pretty amazing, for me. I really pushed myself because I know today is the day I weigh in, and I really want to show an improvement. The problem is that now that I have done this time once, I may expect myself to always be able to accomplish it.
I decided to wait until after I showered and shaved to weigh myself, all that dirt and whiskers surely make up an ounce, and I can't afford to carry the extra weight when I step on the scale.
Okay, I've lost four pounds. Four BIG pounds. Four pounds, arrivederci baby!!!!, and I'm not even Italian!!! I know that may not seem like much to you, but for the last year, and ever since I've started taking Prednisone, I've done nothing but gain weight, so I finally have something to cheer about, let's hear it for me!!!!!!! Now, back to work!!!!!
I've done it again!!!! I published the blog before it was ready. It must be the excitement of losing weight or perhaps I'm just weak or prone to publishing, I don't know, but please, bear with me. I've got so much to say.
For the sixth day in a row, it is cloudy and overcast outside. I know it is redundant to say it is overcast and cloudy, but I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible and for me, that means occasionally being redundant. Okay, I know there is a grammarian out there who is ready to pounce on me for making a grammatical mistake. It's been a long time since I've been pounced on, but that's clearly a story for adult readers only.
Zac thinks Winter is losing weight, that bitch is so competitive, please forgive my language but that is what they call a female dog in the kennels.
Yesterday, besides the cream of wheat with oat bran, skim milk and Splenda on it, I ate, one peach, one green apple, one green salad, one small piece of chicken, no potatoes, and one cob of corn. Gosh, when you write it out like that, it really does seem like alot of food.
Remember, I told you that I would not be able to forego ice cream forever, since, I'm doing so well, I've decided to make it bi-weekly before I indulge in the best dessert this island has to offer, after all, there are no more brownies left that Alice made, shucks!!!
It hasn't even been a week since the girls left and I miss them so much. Dinner is always late, if indeed I get dinner, I'm always having to wash dishes, and there is nobody to salute during the cocktail hour! On top of all that, the girls were alot of fun and I miss the female perspective on any and all topics that get discussed.
Judy is currently hovering around, she is waiting until I leave the living room so she can watch her religious programs. I know it's Sunday, but I can't stand those programs. They are so down and pessimistic. I don't know why they can't be more cheerful, I believe in the old adage, you catch more flies with honey. Evidently, God thinks differently than I.
Judy says she watches those shows to learn things, and to see if they concur with what she has read in the Bible. Can you imagine her reaction if they come up with something completely different? I'll buy tickets to that event!!!!!
God Bless Judy, her sense of humour, her faith, her knowledge, and her weight are all things that I envy, but I'm working on respecting my own characteristics, and who knows, one day, I may challenge Judy (she's blonde you know,) for having people look at you,
Well, wet my feet and call me Duckie! Judy is watching the televison show, 'In touch Ministries,' and the theme of today's show is bondage. (Bondage with your thinking, your feelings, etc.)
I wish you could smell me, I am wearing Chanel for Men, and it is one of my very favourite colognes. There are so many places, these days, where you are forbidden to wear after shave, so I like staying here on the island where I can wear all the perfume that I want.
I first received Chanel for Men, from a very close friend of mine, Melinda, who I met at my workplace. It was Christmas, and our work area always played Secret Santa during this festive season. There was a dollar limit on how much we were supposed to spend, but Melinda always ignored this, and went way above the spending limit. If Melinda just happened to pull your name out of the hat, you became the envy of the group. I think people forget what the season is supposed to be about.
Melinda is gorgeous and at ninety-nine pounds, thinks she is overweight. Melinda is a twin, and her identical sister's name is Darlinda. Ironically, Melinda has twins of her own named Stella and Stanley. I wonder if Melinda was watching 'A Streetcar named Desire' when she came up with the names.
It happened again, the blog was published before it was ready. I know I did not hit the publish key, all I did was hit enter. I wonder if this is a sign that I should be wrapping up today's entry, alas, the day has just begun, and I'm sure there will be other things that need documenting.
Well, like the other five days before it, the day is shaping up to be bright, blue and sunny. It is so hot and humid out, and it is not even eight o'clock am. I don't know how people in the city stand the heat. My brother Biff's family in Gainesville, Florida, must find the temperature stifling, at least they have a swimming pool in the backyard, and can take a swim whenever they want.
Zac, Winter, and I are very close to my brother Biff, his wife, Louise, and their three children, Sally, Jessie, and Raphael.
I feel alot of empathy towards Raphael, he is the only boy among the children, and having a father that travels away from the home frequently (for work) seems to take a toll on him. Therefore, we all try and give Raphael special attention. The girls, however, are fiercly independent and are in Gymnastics. I expect, one day, we may see Sally and Jessie compete in the Olympics, but regardless, the sport is demanding and having two children in it sure keeps the wallet thin. I don't know how Louise and Biff manage it.
Isn't it something how so many people say irregardless. There is no such word, and I think its as bad as pronouncing the t in often.
I'm clearly a jinx. Clouds have now taken over the sky and I hear thunder, well, a rainstorm may clear up the humidity.
I haven't talked to Mabel on the telephone in such a long time. It has to be a week. Mabel sings professionally, and if she is not at rehearsel, she is in concert. I wonder if Mabel gets tired of travelling or at never being able to stay at home for more than a week. It sounds glamorous to be on the road, and to have fans all over the world want your autograph, but I know the price is high for fame, and I suspect the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. It seldom is greener, and I don't need to travel to Oz to learn that lesson.
Okay, I think I'm becoming too much of a chatterbox, so, that's it folks.
Later.
