Weighin-in

While a bunch of us gear up for the next weight-loss challenge, I continue to do my almost best to lose weight. Since the last day of school, I’ve lost 20 pounds. Since the last official weigh-in, I’ve lost 7. Pretty sweet, I’d say. In total, I’ve lost 39 pounds since [...]

Another night of music

Tuesday was another nice night at the Grand Ole Opry. There is a reading convention in town and the place was packed with teachers. I was sitting with some teachers from Texas. They were very nice. It was hot as hades up in the not-so-cheap nosebleeds, though. (The pictures might [...]

Go figure

I managed to sleep through what sounds to be the mother of all thunderstorms overnight, but I woke up after the power went out.
I’ve been up since 4:30 a.m. Apparently, where I am there is a brown-out. The power has been out since around 4:00, so I am thinking I might be [...]

Thought this percentage would be higher

Found this at Jimbo’s at Parkway Rest Stop. He’s a funny, snarky Jersey guy. Go pay a visit.

I am 36% White Trash.
The white trash in my blood will not keep me from becoming a doctor or a lawyer, but it will keep me from a good haircut and any sort of fashion sense.
Take [...]

What a (shopping) trip

Last night, I talked myself out of doing wash and just chilling out in the condo, today. I wanted to keep the legs moving and go shopping for those pretty girlie shoes I’ve been wanting. So, I picked a mall that had a ton of stores, nice surroundings and no hint of thugs [...]

Whatever I want Wednesday

I will post about last night’s adventure a bit later. There was a joke that cracked me up and lots of music that made me smile and yes, fight back those darn tears. I tried to take pictures, but they are a little muffed. However, I will post what I can. [...]

YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The A/C is FIXED! A freakin’ fuse was coming in between me and my Arctic-like comfort.
Off to get something to eat and then the Opry. Among others, I will see Trace Adkins and Restless Heart. There is a guy performing that has a hit right now….that makes me cry….a lot. Dangit. [...]

Well, when you have nothing to say….

You cat-blog!
I have no air-conditioning. I’m waiting for a guy to come out and fix it. “They” said he’ll arrive between two and four, which means I have to be ready to go out (going out tonight) by 2 pm, because I won’t have time to do it if the guy is here. [...]

An idle mind….

It seems that I got Snigglefrits thinking. Two women with much maleness on the mind….never a good thing. Well, it is, but it is very distracting–in a good way.

And another headline getting on my nerves, today:
Less schools failing under ‘No Child Left [...]

Finally!

When I woke up this morning it was soooooo quiet (this will be important later). When I looked at the time, I was surprised to see that I slept through my alarm. However, I did wake up in time to go to the movies. But, first, I had some retail therapy to [...]

Oh, just a few things

1. Isn’t it a given that McDonalds will do a profitable business at this stage in the company’s existence? If so, then why do they insist on having stupid commercials that attempt rap? Rap is bad as it is when it is considered “good,” but ad-campaign rap is just horrible. Actually, [...]

A question or a few for the gentlemen

I was watching a show last night. I’d give the title, but I don’t want hits from people looking for it. In this show a guy and his wife went to go hang out at the Playboy mansion and then they spoke to Heff about the guy’s wife doing test shots for a [...]

I’ll take one of him, to go, please.

The Mentalist doesn’t look all that original, but I might watch just to see Simon Baker. I’m not into blondes, but I can make an exception in his case. Well, his hair is wavy, he has light eyes, and he has some scruff–major points in my book.

Simple Stuff

Tastes like chicken!
Hopefully, Ssssteve will approve of this week’s Sunday dinner. I decided to just roast a couple of chicken breasts (garlic/chipotle chili powder/pepper/olive oil), baby carrots, red bell peppers, and green onions. I topped things off with some green beans and smashed red potatoes with olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, and a [...]

Sunday Song

Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
I have been having some struggles of faith, lately (nothing earth-shattering, but enough to make me itchy). At this point in my life, and in my relationship with God, I know not to give up, especially with how faithful [...]
