Broken Toes

I will remember this summer for my two broken toes, one on each foot. I broke the first one 3 days before I had to travel to Austin. The dogs tripped me on the way down the stairs, and somehow I jammed it, either on the rail or wall. I couldn’t really take it [...]

MCC

I decided to go back to MCC. I was so pissed when I registered for summer that I was going to go to U of Phx or DeVry and forget about MCC. I broke down because I only need about 7 more classes to get my AAS. It’s only taken me 5 years [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 2

I lost 1.2 lbs which was good considering….
Friday I had a migraine, so I slept most of the day and then Saturday I just lay around being lazy. Some days it is a struggle to leave the house and I wonder if my depression is to blame or if it’s just poor health and [...]

FAT and Fabulous

It may seem like a contradiction to applaud self acceptance while obsessively counting points and pounds lost. It’s really challenging to accept what is while striving for what could be. I have NO desire to be a size 0. I’ve lived the last 40 years w/o strutting my stuff in a bikini, so it’s safe [...]

Harry Potter - The Order of the Phoenix

We went to see Harry Potter yesterday afternoon and I really liked it. It was one of the darkest entries in the series, but I enjoyed the more edgy, grown up feel of the film. Plus, Daniel Radcliff had an opportunity to ACT, showing considerable teen angst and turmoil. I remember being [...]

Guilt

I am having the hardest time dealing w/ my guilt over Kelsey’s weight. I feel like it’s my fault she is in the position she’s in, although I know I’m powerless to change her behaviors or attitudes. She’s old enough now to make her own choices and to live with the consequences. But [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 1

5 down, 55 to go. Yes, that’s right; I lost 5 lbs. Yay for me! Of course it is the first week, and I know I can’t expect that kind of weight loss every week.
I have to say, I really haven’t felt too hungry or deprived. I actually eat a lot [...]

Weight Watchers

I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember, and last night I attended my first WW meeting. Fat people are diet experts, so I’m not sure Weight Watchers is going to provide some amazing revelations, but it’s beneficial to repeat the basics. Last night the topic was working [...]

Ugliest Dog

Tay and I saw the Ugliest Dog Contest winner in a magazine and we just lost it. Then we googled the ugliest dog to see even more. Jeez, I wouldn’t want to cuddle with any of these critters.
ELWOOD - 2007 Winner

SAM - Previous Winner

MISS ELLIE - A Contender

We’re dog sitting for a month, so it’s [...]

Fourth of July

We just got home from watching fireworks. We went to see the show @ Fort McDowell Casino. Alan and I were laughing at how ironic it is for the Indian Casino to have a big Fourth of July show. It was a great show though, with the best grand finale we’ve ever seen. [...]
