This One Is For The Girls

Young girls, young women, young adults. Learn from my mistakes. May it do ya please. I'm talking about KEEPING IN SHAPE! Not just for the sake of beauty but also and more important for your health. Eat right, exercise (there are so many ways to do this), meditation, sleep (so important), wear sunscreen.

I am 60 and tomorrow if "the 1st day of my life" yada, yada. I'm overweight by 40 pounds, my face is starting to sag (Oh Discordia!), I've got (gasp) brown spots (age spots). No more cake, candy, ice cream, fatty foods, fast foods. I know I should be looking forward to this but I am not. I have realized just how lazy I am.

But, if I don't want to look and feel my age I have to do all that. But you, you who are still able to incorporate this into your life (if you haven't already) have this chance to start off on the right foot. When I was a kid my mom would always remind us to hold our stomachs in. If we/I had we /I wouldn't have as much work on the old, flabby belly.

What I should do is give up coffee which would give up half & half and I would eliminate a lot of calories from my diet. But I can't go on eating cake, candy, etc. forever. When I graduated from high school in 1967 I weighed less than 100 pounds. I am now (I think) 160. I want/need to get to 120. Wish me luck and please heed my advice.

Alas Alack!

I feel if I were a blog about a brothel, prostitute ring or something nefarious, I would get people to see my blog. As it is I've had one comment and that's it. I know my life is not really interesting so why am I doing this at all. Maybe I should have invented a character to write about, someone mysterious and alluring.

Food for thought!

On Turning 60

I turned 60 the beginning of February. I hate it. I know it is only a number but for some reason this number has hit me hard. You really notice what time has done to damage your physical appearance. And you ask yourself, do I really want to try all those products that are out there to try and keep you young looking.

I think a new product (or more) comes out every week. We Americans are so obsessed about looking young. I think at this point I'd settle for feeling young. Unfortunately I suffer (or allow myself to suffer) from chronic back pain. It's not a lot of fun and very limiting as to what physical things you can do.

I admit that I don't take care of myself as I should. Oh, by the way, did I tell you I was the Queen of Procrastination? I am. Never put off until next month what you could be doing today.
One of my favorite pasttimes is sleeping (oh, did I say that?).

Memorial weekend - not working you tend not to get too excited about holidays. One nice thing about the town over is that they line the highway with flags. I always find that very moving. At the grocery store today their was a gentleman outside collecting mney for vets and giving out those little red flowers. I gave him five bucks and he asked me if I had a husband at home. I told him no, but I do have an ex-husband at home. He gave me a lollypop for him and he had a good laugh. I told him truth is stranger than fiction. A lady in the parking lot agreed with me.

This is Fun (Torture)

Boy is it tough trying to do this blogging thing. I'm also trying to twitter too so I think I might have brain overload. I have to remember that all good things come to those who wait so I believe I will get it all hammered out by the end of the month. Some things are easier than others.

It was a breeze doing my youtube page. I was even able to upload a video I made (of my dog). This is not as easy but I don't plan to give up.

Thanks to all in the support group who helped me with my questions. Hope everyone has a great Memorial w/end.

Google & Bibles

1. Google's logo today showed the new fossil that they found. Great, except Google is showing a preference to Darwinism than Creationism. I thought they liked to be fair and balanced???

2. How stupid of the US government to send bibles to Afghanistan in their language in the hopes of converting them. I think our soldiers are too busy trying to stay alive so they don't have time to share religion. Whose dumb idea was this anyway? More waste of taxpayer $$.

Music for Commercials

It's sad when the music you loved as a teen and older are used to push products. So many wonderful songs are now only heard during a commercial. Need I say more???

Whole Lot of Shaking Going On

Talk about fickle! I'm on my 3rd (I think) template for my blog. Do other bloggers do that? I want it to be such a wonderful looking blog and yet each time I change the template I have to do all the colors and fonts all over again. No simple task for this beginner.

If anyone stumbles onto this and knows what I need to get it "just right," please let me know.

My First Post

This will be my first post to my blog. Any and all suggestions are welcome. I want to add dodads to this site but don't know how to go about it. That is one of the many things I am hoping to learn during this process.
