No Coffee.

The family that prays together...

stays together.

The family that has blood work done together...

IS A LITTLE STRANGE.

OKAY. There was no coffee for me this morning. Gary and I went to the Lab before work to get our routine blood work done. You know, the tests the doctors order to make sure every little thing is A-OK with your health...

We had to fast for 12 hours first. No problem.

So I put my coffee in a Thermos

and brought it to work with me.

Ahhhhhhhh. Coffee never tasted better.

Every Bite Counts

Just another attempt at losing the weight. You know, the extra 10 lb. I've gained in the past year. The 20 lb. I've packed on in the last two years. Ahemmm... okay... the fifty lb. since I became pregnant and gave birth to my first kid over thirty years ago.

Weight gain is something us women have

a real problem getting over...

"I used to weigh 100 lb. Honest."

Okay. Now the ingredients:

Arnold's Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin

One Egg,

Scrambled with onion

and mushroom and a tiny bit of olive oil.

Strawberries

fat free cool whip

An estimated 4 pts. on Weight Watchers.

Busted!

At 95 degrees it was defiantly pool day. So after church Gary and I hurried home, threw on our bathing suits and headed for relief.

I am a rule follower. Always have been. If a department store sign reads: stand behind this line... by golly my toes are not touching the line! That's just a small example of my desire to be a model human being. If my mother were here (God rest her soul) she'd be the first to admit that I was a perfect child.

So when the Life Guard threatened to take away my Rice Cake Cheddar Cheese snacks after catching me pop one in my mouth while soaking up the sun poolside, I was appalled!

"I promise I won't eat any more, just please don't confiscate my Rice Cakes!" I begged. Doesn't she have something better to do... like clean the bees out of the pool or watch for kids that are being mean to adults?!
