Whats For Dinner?

Everyonce in awhile I catch my cat Stinky on my mantel.

I got to get the cat if I let my husband name it! I agreed to this,

and thus the name Stinky!

Can you guess what kind of food the dear cat is after?

This is our bird Chip! The cat is usually pretty good,

but everyonce in awhile she tries to get the bird!

So far Chip has survived for about six years, and really has no fear

of the cat or the two dogs!

Just wanted to touch base and wish you all A Happy Thanksgiving!

I will be posting again later in the week with an update!

Take care all!

Confronting your Food.!

You know I consider myself to be a bright woman,

I am dealing with a full deck and I don't think my toolbox is short a hammer or anything,

The lights are on and somebody is home. Hi by the way!

Today my assignment is to confront my food demons.

so I sit here and think OMG, but because I am openminded I will see if I get anything out of this or not!

First thing to note is that sometimes my humor can be quite dry, with just a little bit of sarcasm thrown in!

Hello Bread of any kind....you have been so easy to grab, and usually readily handy, but I have to say you have added many inches to my frame. I don't even know if I like you but for some reason when your here you redistribute yourself on my whole body, and I resent that the first place i notice is on my neck. Have you no pride. I can take alot of things but not my once neck! Come on you really have to go and stay out!

Just so anyone knows I am feeling kind of silly but  I did give it to the bread.

Lets see, next item on my list would be Ice Cappucinos from Tim Hortons. If I could go back in time to when I never knew you existed, my life would be better for not knowing you. and saying that the door will be locked upon any arrival. all begging for one will cease to stop. Besides there are so many others that adore you, that you will not be lonely. Eventually you will be used to the idea that I no longer frequent your establishment.

As to all you fast food places out there I have to stay away as well because even if you are carrying healthier choices, it is just a little too tempting for moi.

So it has really been nice knowing you but you must go back to whence you came.

Okay those are my first main three, do I feel a little silly, sure I am talking to the food, so maybe one hammer short of a toolbox, but what it makes me feel is that I am in charge. I have things I can control! I am the boss and not the food.

Right now I feel like I am Rocky and just made it to the top of the stairs. I definately have my walking shoes on for tomorrow and am ready to get on this bandwagon like I know I can.

You should try this exercise or just tell me I am a fruit loop!

But you know what tonight I am a happy one.

This is my world, my life, and from now on I am going to have

My Very Best of Days! 

...............

I  hope you do too!

Thankyou for all your kind comments!

Winter Has Arrived...I Think For Good!

This picture was taken last year, I love how the ice looks.

..............

So this am I awoke to a color of white and a freshness in the air,

and I was thrilled. It had snowed.about two inches!

I felt totally alive and happy and ventured outside.

I shovelled snow getting some exercise,

and getting me motivated for the day!

...............

As for the hair color it turned out great!

Not bad for doing it myself.

I am finding it difficult with my eating patterns,

But it is one day at a time.

So until next week, know I wish you the Best of Days!

Haircolor?

Sometimes I feel like I need to be edited,

delete this, add that,

so when I am feeling this way,

I usually dye my hair.

And I feel like a new woman!

I wonder what it would take for this house to feel new again.

Probably just some tender loving care.

I am A Wingnut!

I can not believe the fabulous weather that we are having here.

One would really think that it were summer.

So fabulous for us in November in Canada.

So I am so enjoying the sun beaming in through my windows.

I was outside for a couple of hours this morning

And I feel good!

...............

I have been a little down in the dumps lately due to personal reasons

and I have to be honest, the emotional eater was back this weekend.

When I started this blog, I thought I would stay on track everyday.

That I would be accountable to you as well as I.

In theory that is a grand idea, and it should work.

But like I said I was misbehaving on the weekend.

So............as the nurse said in weightwise, if you fall off, get back on, and well

Saddle up I did again this morning. I got out my journal book, made up my meals for the day,

and I am drinking my water,

and I am walking my little dog!

.................

If I can accomplish anything else in my life, why is this so difficult for me to stay on track.

I read not so long ago that if you set out to achieve something, it takes consistant work,

so today I put up little sticky notes on my fridge, on my computer, on the cookie jar,

and should have one on my forhead! lol

I can't beat myself up about this, just go on and keep trying.

...................

One thing I have realized is that I am a fixer,

fix this, fix that,

And now I feel helpless that I can't fix things in my family,

I can't bring back my Dad,

I can't stop my Mom from being lonely,

I can't stop how I sometimes feel!

......

So I can only control what I can!

So do I sound like a wingnut today or what!

And somehow through all these feelings,

I am going to have a good day!

...............

p.s. The wingnut status just means I am human.!

Journalling of Food.....A little Sidetracked Because of Toni!

Remember when I said I was working on a project, well here are some of the pages I did for a journal I was making for a wonderful woman named Toni. I met her through blogland and when my father passed away she sent me a beautiful, beautiful letter. I hardly knew her at this point..but what a wonderful soul, so I have been working on this for awhile and she just recieved it. I think she loved it.

She has taken a hiatus from blogging and has decided to focus on her writing, in one email she said how much she loved her yellow lace curtains. So here she is reading and reading and reading. Look at her little plac on the wall World Famous Author....I would not be the least surprised.

This one is one of my favorite. When she was visiting in England, she told about walking down a path and there being sheep and just a wonderful day. I also made a page that had socks with names of the week on them because the fellow Toni and her Mom stayed with wore socks Monday for Monday, Tuesday for Tuesday, etc....and be darned if he did not send her her own pairs....I think she should have a shoeless Sunday in there. It turns out there are many little pages in this book so she can do some writing in them.

My favorite one is this one, after a long hard day she is soaking in the tub, look at those cute little feet, The weight of me, was the name of her writing blog, she has been busy with work, and doing something about a green frog journal book.

She wrote me an email and said she could not put into words right now I touched she was. I was thrilled.

..........

The reason I showed you was that a few of you had asked what I had been working on, so now you know.

Now I can get to my painting, or whatever is next in my adventures.

..............

Note to self get back to journalling your food, and that is what I will do for sure tomorrow.

.............

Remember people will touch our hearts in ways we never thought possible,it surely

is a wonderful world!

Friday the 13th, The Insanity of It!

Friday the 13th,  always gives me the eebie jeebies. I know that is ridiculous but that is just how I am I guess.I was doing some reading today and I read that the next time we will have another Friday the 13th is the year 2015. Now I kindof assumed that we must have one every year, but apparently that only happens if the New Year starts on a Sunday. So I am thrilled about that. I used to work in retail and  Friday the 13th always brought out the strangest people. Also the police have more staff working those days, hospitals are busier as well. Makes me go hmmm.  So today I could not load any pictures to this site, then I checked my emails and I recieved 13 of them....kinda creepy. When I was doing my reading it did say that it can either represent bad or good luck. I know there are certain things I would not do on a Friday the 13th. I would not fly in an airplane. I would not get married. I would  not have a doctors appointment. I know this sounds crazy ! My husband and sister laughs at me as I try to justify these things. They tell me oh your just tired, go have a nap......it is the same thing as buildings not having a 13th floor, there are no aisle 13 in planes. So there I have given you something to think of today. Do you have any superstitions about today? Take care.
