It is amazing to think that we have already cruised through half of August. Especially as I keep finding Christmas ornaments that I still haven’t put away. Oh well, save some time this year I suppose.
Ladies, you might have noticed a little ‘ticker tape’ deal on the top of my blog. I really have re-joined MyFitness.com (see, everything I write here is true…I am a size 6) – I thought I would carry my badge of weight loss so that I am accountable to you, my dear friends, and also because I thought I was really clever figuring out how to make it show up on a blog!
It has been another full week. Last weekend, Gump and I drove to St Louis for a quick visit to see some Brit relatives. It was a good journey. Gump has finally been lured into my world of audiobooks, and so I was free to play on my Ipad, think of Mark Wahlberg, and reflect on the sad condition of my un-pedicured feet. It was so peaceful on the drive, I almost forgot Gump was there, until he motioned me to look as he got 2 bunny graham crackers, and pretended they were having sex on the dashboard….yeah, real funny…they were going at it like….you know….bunnies….Yep, you’ll never see the Gumpster on Comedy Central, well maybe a stand-up show in Pleasantville, or a guest spot on the Dick Van Dyke show. He sort of has the Beavis and Butthead thing going on….I know for a fact, that sometimes he looks at me and is thinking….”cool, she’s got boobies…hehehe…I said boobies”… yeah, try not to be jealous girls….go find your own Gumpster….check out your local scout troop and look for a tall scout that passes for an adult (physically…they never quite get there mentally).
This morning is a very nice morning, a little mist/fog and not too hot (yet). I am taking Sam the dog (now known as the Stinkmeister) to the vet to find out the cause of his ‘pong’…..the poor sod has allergies, and I have taken him off Benadryl because he has been stoned for the past month. Wait…maybe I should try them!
I just invested in a doggie ramp, yep, I said doggie ramp…because Sam is so old, he can’t get his squiggly sausage 83lb body off the ground. Watching me trying to lift him into the back of an SUV is almost like Americas Funniest Home Video…I get one leg up, another flops out…it ain’t pretty. We have used the ramp once, where I pretty well had to drag him up the bloody thing, so we’ll see how it goes. In his defense, it isn’t a very wide ramp. Oh well, if I don’t use it for the dog, I can use it if I ever have someone staying at the house with one leg and a desire to ride in the back of an SUV.
The blog has a subscription button now. If you click on it, it asks you for your email address and to type in a security word. This is not for Google to steal any info (I even signed up to check it out). If you subscribe to my blog, every time I update it, you will get an email to tell you that the blog is updated, and so I won’t have to bug you with emails. The cool thing for me, is that if you share my blog with people, they can subscribe to it without me having to know their email addresses, and the more exposure I get (with writing), the better I will become. And, I will also get one step closer to taking all the blog readers on a cruise of the Greek Islands. Yep, you heard me….that is my goal… become a millionaire, rent the Queen Mary II, and take a bunch of middle-aged, wine drinking, savvy, hormonal women around islands full of turquoise seas, white buildings, Ouzo (an anise based hard booze) and some really hot looking Mediterranean guys (or gals)………….stick with me sisters……..
Happy Friday to one and all!
