This is one of those blogs where I will spread my fairy dusts of thank you's and gush all over the page!  If you don't like gushing......

And one more thing before I begin to gush, I'm really tired of pre-facing anything I wrote with all these types of "if you don't like" or "just because I said blah doesn't mean blah blah..." comments. Aren't you?!

Now on to the gushing!

I'm glad some of my favorite shows are going on hiatus for a couple of months!  After writer's strike, which took its' toll on me and on our favorite television programs, some of them have not even reappeared!  I'm about done with regular TV after I've watched my season finales of course! 

 

Desperate Housewives, wraps next week Sunday, they will do a two-hour finale, can't wait to see what happens with that evil step child!

 

Bones is on tonight, I...

"OK", I said to myself, "Go ahead, admit it...."  I sighed, "I'm not perfect...no matter how hard I try, there are just certain times that I mess up and I'm a mess!"  Happy now? I admitted it, I said it out loud for myself to hear.

 

What brought this on you might wonder?  Other than the fact that there are just times when I get mental and really live up to 'being woman' being emotional and ready to jump in the ocean, for a swim to cool...

I'm not!  I'm not worried at all...now that I've thought about the reasons why I could have gained one pound!  For the last month I've kind of been in a funk...I'm still working out, I'm still gung ho and being active with my goals in mind, so I've not given up on me!  But I just can't seem to get past the stage I'm currently at!  It's a happy stage...I've lost a lot more that I thought I could in the last five months....I'm getting stronger, more toned, wearing clothes I've ...

Being Spoiled on Mom's Day!


I had to wait for it but I got to eat breakfast in bed!  Of course that's not an unusual thing for me since my darling hubby likes to surprise me with breakfast in bed on Sunday Mornings....most of the time!




This morning I had to wait because he wasn't up as early as usual on a sunday morn, that might be because I was lying on top of him.....with my clothes on...get your mind out of the gutter! hahaha....I was cajoling him to get up and he likes wh...

Weight Watchers Meeting

I haven't lost any weight lost week, so says the scale at my Weight Watchers meeting!  I wondered if that was correct, because my scale at home says I lost another 3lbs!  Then again, my scale is a regular analog one and theirs is a digital! Maybe I should get me a digital scale and get with the Century!


The good thing is I didn't gain any and that's better news for me!  I'm still busy, cycling, doing exercise dvd and walking! So I'm keeping active and that's always good for my body!

In light of the uproar over Miley Cyrus' "scandalous" photograph ,[http://forums.joeuser.com/310120/page/1/#1719278], so vastly overrated!   I’m all for protecting our children and I am not certainly in favor of them being forced to grow up before their time.  In other words, doing or getting involved in anything that is not for them because they are too young and don’t need to be involved with anything that would be bad for them!

Braeden, aka Sancho Nino made a comment on the blog that I wrote regarding the scandal, it was an interesting and enlightening response which made me go ‘hmmm..”  and gave me more food for thought.

I've heard the talks, the stories, seen the programs, read the headlines, America is in trouble financially (or maybe it's better to say economically)!

 

Whatever the phrase you like to use, even the BBC have us covered and it's not a comfortable feeling!  I see what's going on around me in my local area. Lots of houses for sale, whether by choice or not.  Some sitting for months without a buyer.   People being laid off. Budgets being slashed, the prices are up in the super market.  My grocery bill is higher than it's ever been so I have to be even more frugal. I try to use coupons sometimes, but that works some of the times, because these manufacturers don't really give coupons on rice or meats or milk or the foods that are really important!  Why is that I wonder?!

I read this article today on MSN's MoneyCentral.msn.com.  The one thing that ran through my mind ad I read it was, are they suggesting that America's problems is because of fat people?   So maybe I'm being a bit sensitive.  After all, I fall into the category of the 66% overweight people.  I admit it and there is no shame in it!  I'm actively working on that situation I'm even prouder to say!

 

According to Shirley Skeel, the author of the piece I read, i...

If I hear or read one more radio, television or on-line news story about that picture of Miley Cyrus taken by Annie Lebovitz for Vanity Fair, I'm going to explode! 

I think it is very irrational of the news media to keep going on and on and on and on about this!  She said she was sorry, she didn't realise it wouldn't be tasteful, what the frak is the big deal anyway?

So she is bare shouldered with half (the top half) of her back exposed. Her makeup is looking vampy, no more ...

There they go, blowing in the wind, my inhibitions!  I now understand what all those "talking heads" mean when they say the older you get the more you tend to enjoy your life.  It's not that I didn't enjoy life in my teens, or twenties  or thirties..good Lord no....in fact, my late teens and my twenties were some of the best years of my life.

 

Now in my forties, let me tell you, I've let go of some hang ups, remember I said 'some') and am trying to really live my life ...

4.2lbs lost this week!  I didn't quite hit the 20lbs I had set for myself by my birthday, but boy did I get within range!  16.8lbs total weight loss since I began my fitness goal on January 7th!  9 on my own and the rest since joining Weight Watchers!

I've become more dedicated and am going steadily on that road to wellness!
