It’s that time of the month – no, not that time of the month – the plumbings gone and I never have to worry about that again. It’s the Thursday Post Surgery Discussion Group meeting that the Weight Loss Center requires you to attend before you actually have bariatric surgery. Normally it’s the 4th Thursday [...]

THE COMPETITION
Wow! I got to watch both the competition and results shows after all. The meeting I had Monday night got out at quarter to 8 instead of 9 PM. By the time I got home, I did miss the first dance, which was Mel & Maks. But they scored fairly well, so I guess [...]
Quick Change Artist

My body is a “quick change artist” and I hate it. No, I don’t hate my body. I hate the fibromyalgia that causes the sudden, unpredictable changes.
Today started out slow but at least the pain level was low. It just took a while to fully wake up. I had planned to have nothing much to [...]
House Cleaning Stress

It’s the day before the big in-law dinner. I love my in-laws, that’s not the issue. The problem is that they keep a much tidier house – or at least more dusted – house than we do. So whenever we invite them over, it means a day of intense cleaning.
I don’t mind that the cleaning [...]

Thanksgiving was okay. I’ve said before, I’m not a big holiday fan. I don’t hate them like some folks do. I just don’t get as hyped about them as other folks do. I guess I’m a holiday moderate. We went out to dinner with my parents, my son, my sister and brother-in-law. I picked the [...]
Dancing with the Stars, Semi-Final, Competition and Results

Okay, I have a confession to make. I missed the live competition show. I don’t even recall why, but I realized it was 10 PM and uttered a few mild expletives. This is where ABC’s Full Episode Player becomes a life saver. I watched the Results show last night and watched the Competition show this [...]
The Calm before the Storm

I don’t have any real “tasks” to accomplish today. The past weekend was busy. We went to my in-laws so my husband could help his dad with the yard work – raking leaves and such. Although Dad was cleared to go back to his usual activities “within limits,” my husband didn’t want him to overdo [...]
Feed your family for $1 per person per meal?

Hungry? Me too. But most of us won’t be for very long. I know there is food in the cupboard. It may not be exactly what I want (no chocolate) but it’s healthy. I have fruit, vegetables, meat. Sadly, many in this country do not.
And that makes me angry!! It’s going to be a soapbox [...]
Dancing with the Stars, Week 8 – Competition and Results

Life is “back to normal” after vacation – laundry, cooking – all that fun stuff. I did get lucky. My husband had a meeting at church tonight, so I got to watch Dancing with the Stars on the “good” TV for a change. No competition from the hockey games.
COMPETITION SHOW
The cast is down to 5 [...]

The last day of our mini-vacation is also my husband’s 50th birthday. So I let him decide what he wanted to do today. The result: We left Waterville early and headed for the coast. We drove to Orr’s Island (why in the world would my hockey loving husband want to go to a place named [...]
