Creed Shock
Imagine the jolt I got, stepping out of the elevator this morning, on my way to the kitchen for coffee and journaling, to see my three Creed cowboys standing in the living room...Yum.My kind of shock. :)I'm feeling a little less FRAZZLED, and a lot more like my old...
Missing Blogger Found Wandering 🙂
I was last sighted helping niece/assistant Jenni lug the life-size posters of the three Creed cowboys out of the framing store at Northtown Mall this afternoon. Now THAT'S inspiration, ladies and gentlemen! Who needs a big-screen TV in my living room, when I have...
8.5 POUNDS!!
I'm a believer, ladies and gentlemen.The program is definitely working. The results are amazing--but this is no magic bullet. I want to stress that. The amount of food allowed is VERY limited. I came home from the lake early. The dogs just wouldn't settle down, and...
Lake Days
It's only about 7:15, and the pool is like bathwater. I think I'll take a dip, after I finish this blog. 🙂 (It's a hard life, but somebody has to do it.) Strangely, the sky is overcast and it looks like rain.Mom is sleeping in. It has been so quiet and so restful...
Lake Blog
Mom, Sadie, Bernice and I are cozied in at the lake house. It is wonderful to be out here again, where it's quiet. I was up extra early this morning--and that's okay. I live at a different pace at the lake. And there's always the nap option! Mom and I haven't had much...
OK, Linda, Enough Already!
No more talking about the diet, at least until I have numbers to report. :)It's beautiful in Spokane today--a delight to the soul. Since I need one more goof off day, I'm planning to: make phone calls, collage a little, and perhaps make a run to my favorite art supply...
Day 2
It is surprisingly easy to stay on this food plan. Here's what I eat: three and a half ounces of fish, chicken or lean beef at lunch and dinner, and the same measurement of approved vegetables. In addition, two pieces of fruit. Two litres of water. Starvation fare,...
The Continuing Adventures of Linda
OK, this is the first real day of the Magic Hormone Diet. (For the first two days, you load up on fatty foods, so your body won't freak out when you cut back. Think this is easy? Think again--I couldn't WAIT to get back on the low-fat wagon.) This second phase of the...
Books, Books, and More Books
The boxes of books I shipped to myself from Manassas have arrived. One of them is so heavy, I couldn't even drag it over the threshold. 🙂 I am especially excited about the fold-out timeline I bought in one of the Park Service gift shops--they've all run together now,...
Birds Singing Up the Sun
The sun is just tinting the eastern hills a soft, pinkish apricot--with a lot of happy encouragement from the birds. I do love these early mornings, and I love being at home, with my dogs and cats and horses, and a new book waiting to be written.Today, I will draft...
Recovery Day
As you know if you've been following my Civil War blogs, I had a marvelous time in Virginia--despite bugs and a heat wave. I was delayed one day getting home, and spent a night in a Denver hotel, but the flight yesterday was on-time and easy. The dogs were glad to see...
In Denver
Here I am in Denver--my flight was late leaving DC because of weather, so I missed my connection home to Spokane. I have no luggage, and no pajamas, and it's too late to shop. (Or, at least, I'm too tired.) I'm trying to be philosophical about this--I believe there is...
