My backside managed to make it into a photo over the weekend. It wasn’t pretty. Roughly the size of Texas, it wouldn’t even fit in the camera frame. *sigh* I guess this means I better get off said rumpkis and do something about it. It is, after all, part of getting my act together. Now I know what you’re thinking. Haven’t you said this before? Yes, yes I have. Every few months as a matter of fact; but I’m nothing if not optimistic. I’m certain it will stick one of these times. Not to mention, my mom didn’t really start getting into shape until she was around my age. So there’s hope. Surely, there must be hope.
On a brighter note, if you like books you may want to head on over to The Bibliophile’s Adventurers Club and add a comment to today’s entry – there’s going to be a giveaway. You have the chance to win a FREE BOOK! *gasp!* What could be better? Yeah, I can’t imagine either …
I have this thing … when I’m next to a little kid who is eating I have to say, “Mmmm, tasty!” It can’t be helped. Most of the time they just look as me as if to say, “I wonder what, exactly, is she smoking.” And still I say it. At a certain celebration, the birthday boy’s little brother was sitting next to me with his soda. Every time he took a drink he would smack his lips and then exhail loudly, Aaaaaah, so good. So I took a sip of my bottled water and said my usual: Mmmm, tasty. We went back and fourth three or four times before he stopped, gave me a good looking over and said, ”water is not tasty.” I told him it was tasty to me – to which he raised his eyebrows and turned away. Grownups, they know nothing!
Speaking of not tasty, I got my vegetarian cookbooks – just in case you were dying to know – and it SUCKED! Oh my word. Profuse apologies for the offensive word, but no other will do for such culinary disasters. It was weeds and tofu and any number of things I don’t even know, nor do I care too. The pages were a dirty brown and the photos - all thrown to the middle – were creepy. CREEPY I tell you! I snap better food photos – and if you’ve seen any of my food photos, you know that’s not saying much. Helpful hint: never buy a vegetarian cookbook on discount.
So, I’ve decided to stick with the internet. Here was my latest find: Honey-Soy Broiled Salmon. I served it with brown rice and these veggies.
Let’s all say it together: Mmmmm, tasty!
My new site is not finished, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is up and running and getting the occasional visitor. If you’re at all interested, here’s the link:

I’m telling you this now for several reasons: 1) there’s a fabulous library highlighted in today’s post. So. Jealous.; 2) if you check back next Monday there’s a slight chance there will be a giveaway. I’m just sayin’.; and 3) I’ve got nothin’ else.
In case you haven’t heard, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow. Personally I can’t believe it’s true. Spring must be right around the corner. Maybe the old fellow’s eyesight is getting dodgey. Or maybe it’s a cruel joke. I mean really, look at that face. He’s clearly annoyed. Maybe he figures if they are going to make such a spectacle of him, he’ll just go ahead and see his shadow. That’s right – a SHADOW! Take that you annoying folk – six more weeks of winter for you! Yeah, it can’t be easy being a famous whistle pig.
appy February, dear friends! Can you even believe January has left us? So soon! Although, I must admit, Springtime cannot arrive soon enough.
I hope this post finds you emerging from a marvelous weekend. Except for a sore throat and achy skin (wretched business, it is) mine was good. I solved my computer issues – with plenty of grumbling and complaining mind you, but solved all the same. That’s the only thing I miss about working in an office – an IT department. You have issues, you call your people. When you work from home – for yourself – you are your people. Sigh.
I also worked on my new website. *squee!* There’s still a lot of work to be done, but we’re getting there. I remain hopeful that we’ll be able to have a “grand opening” one week from today – complete with a giveaway. GASP! Do stay tuned …
