"Charlie Sheen on Today"



I don't know if I believe it when he say's he has stopped drinking, but I totally agree with him that you can only do it yourself. It doesn't matter who can claim they can cure you of whatever, it won't happen unless you finally make up your mind to stop.
Just look at what I've been doing for the last, almost 3 years of my Weight-Loss Journal. My last excuse was from Thanksgiving until the February birthday's is the reason I gained back 20 pounds. There were all those temtations. Blah, Blah, Blah.
My excuse before that was I had to work through the foods that were keeping me from losing, one by one. I finally stopped buying ice cream, crackers, candy, white flour, but I'm having a problem with butter. I gave it up for about a week but went back to it yesterday. It just seems like too much to deprive myself of. I know what not to eat, I just have to walk the walk, talk the talk
I've also been blaming Oprah. She came out talking about your "Best Life." She was ready to finally get a grip on her weight, but the whole season we watched her gain pound after pound until the next season when she confessed she couldn't believe she was still talking about her weight, but was done depriving herself by eating and drinking whatever she wanted. I felt abandoned. If she couldn't do it with all her money and resourses, how could I do it. I wish I could get her and everyone else to join me and the Bullie's in the mornings and "Let's All Dance!"

"Hold My Hand"



I was going to blog this morning but as I sit here under a skylight, I can see blue sky overhead, so I'd better get on the road and go scoop horse poop before the expected rain starts. With any luck the rain shadow might keep it away until I'm done, so gotta go.

Christopher Lee, Republican resigns



Another elected idiot has had his actions displayed for the world to see. Why on earth did he think he could go on Craig's List and not get caught? Married with a young son. Why can't they keep it in their pants? Here's another idiot that could be a good candidate for castration.
Also in the news Mubarak is to step down today. I wonder if the next guy will be any better?
The South is getting hit pretty hard with snow and below freezing temperatures. It's a beautiful sunny day here but only 34 degrees so far. I suppose we will get more of the fruits and vegetables that have been harvested even after getting froze, from there. I know we got avocado's that had been frozen in the last freeze because they were all black around the seed. For every one I buy, at least 5 have been crap, for months now. I always tell the checker if I'm replacing the bads ones I've gotten and only one has acted like they could care less.
I'm still sitting in limbo waiting for the law firm to settle with my mortgage company, and get me an affordable payment. I should also tell them there are still idiots taking pictures of my house. Al least they have finally stopped hanging notices on my gate asking me to call them. I don't know what they expect to see unless they are making sure just who lives here by running the license plates.
I'm trying to kill time to let it warm up before I go to work, so "Let's All Dance!"

"Mr. Toad's Wild Ride"


I'm back to 150 pounds again, so I've vowed to stop drinking my glass of wine at dinner and I'm going to try to eat half as much as I've been doing. I also think the saltines and butter are a bad idea. It's just hard for me to stop until they are gone from the house so I keep eating and eating the crap and won't replace it this time, I hope. I see that Oprah is done with dieting. She keeps getting wider and wider. All my weight is in my stomach and her's is in her ass and thighs. I'm not sure which is worse to deal with.
I'm going to have to start thinking of doing crunches every morning after the dancing.
I started my morning dance today with a pretty fast song. I usually start out slow and work my way to the fast beats but today I just felt I needed to get a kick start instead. I've been home for the last few days and am ready to get back to work. This week is supposed to be nice so I plan to get the compost pile spread. I hope it covers all the plants because they sure need it.
I got my front yard plants all weeded and the raspberries cut back but I'm hesitating before I get the backyard done because I hear we are still expecting another cold snap. There are so many bulbs coming up and everything is starting to bud. I have plenty else to do for all the accounts so I'm not going to worry about my yard just yet.
The Superbowl is finally over. I tried to watch for the commercials but they didn't make me laugh this year. For 3 million dollars for a 30 second ad you'd think they would be "Wow", but they weren't. They said a one second ad would cost $100,000. If I had the money to waste I'd buy space for "Let's All Dance!" to flash across the screen. Maybe they'd listen if they saw it on the Super Bowl.

It's My First Day Of Medicare Coverage!



I was really excited that I was going to finally have medical coverage when I turn 65, until I found they are taking $115.40 out of my Social Security check so now I get 446.00 a month. I called them and asked if I could skip the deduction for a year or two and pay for my own doctors visit, but they said it would only save me $5.00 a month because they will take it anyway. They feel I'll probably need it more than I do. Yes, I agree that one of the reasons I don't like going to the doctor is the cost but it's more that I think the whole medical system is more about the money than actually caring for people. Of course there are doctors that truly care for your health but most keep you coming in so they'll make more money. Medicare also supports all drug addicts by keeping them addicted. It's a legal way of staying high. The doctors make more money by making you come in before they'll refill your prescriptions while the pharmacy and drug company's get richer and richer.
More later, time to work, it's a beautiful day but very cold still.
In a few weeks I'll be singing "When I'm Sixty-Five" I'll still be saying, "Let's All Dance!"
