A New Day

We had an ice storm yesterday. This is our view once the sun came out and lit up the ice-covered branches. It looked quite magical. (go ahead, click it)


No Longer a Flu Hostage

Thank the Lord above! This plague had finally been lifted from my house & body! It is a new day and I feel as though I am a new woman. Now that the evil, germy cloud has passed, I have a few thoughts to share.

- The flu can indeed be interchanged with Weight Watchers. There is no point value assigned to food whatsoever because what you are able to stomach won’t stay there long and cough drops have 0 points.

- The last time I weighed this weight was at the peak of my Weight Watchers success. I know it won’t last (I am a piggy) but DAMN am I digging the saggy clothes feeling. If I wasn’t so pale and pasty, I’d totally go bathing suit shopping right now.

-The flu took away all of my best friends. Red wine, cigarettes and snack crackers used to be the only things I could depend on and now I can’t even tolerate their taste or smell. I guess I’ll need to make some new friends…like salad or heroin.

- Too much Family Guy and Walker, Texas Ranger will melt your brain. And after a while, they become interchangeable.

- I wasn’t able to work out all week due to the devil’s plague. Luckily some very kind souls offered to take my classes for me while I recovered. Monday I’ll be back and ready for action. Care to wager if I can make it through teaching an entire class without passing out (or at least sitting down)?

- I am in such a good mood! I have my life back! Now what should I do, hmmmm?

    As for the flu, I’m glad you’re feeling better. My husband had it and ended up losing nine pounds in just a few days. For that reason alone I tried to become infected, but it didn’t take.

    Not so sure we’re totally over the variety of bugs going around so I suggest you keep away from family for a while. (Aw gee!)

    Absolutely gorgeous pictures!!!

  • Yay for feeling better. Beautiful picture. We were promised PROMISED snow this weekend but once again living in a dip seven miles from the coast has left the group wet and snow free. Damn.
