It is Just a Lovely Day

It has been so cool today. Probably not much more than 90
degrees and I am relishing every minute of it. Ted even
thought it was pleasant enough to go and ride his bike.

I laid in a supply of snacks and diet Dr. Pepper for the
girls. It is so nice to have them back again. The Drama
Queen has calmed down a lot since last year.

I have a pork loin in the oven for pulled pork and plenty of Sweet Baby Ray's to put on it. We haven't used our grill even one time this year and that is a real shame. The
temperature hasn't been right for grilling and sitting outside.

My new Harper's Bazaar arrived yesterday and I was pleased
to see that they are promoting flat heels on boots and flat
shoes. After subjecting my feet to pointed toes and high
heels during my youth, I am not about to do it again. I
love boots for winter. Do you suppose it will ever get cold
again?

Ed gets questionnaires from the RNC because he is a registered Republican. Their questions are slanted as in "Do you agree that we need to kill babies like the Democrats want?" (That's not too exaggerated.) He answers contrary to their expectations and sends them back. To the question I have posed, he would simply mark the "yes" box. I love that. But I have the feeling that they toss all the unwanted replies and release data confirming their slant from the others.

As fat dissolves and muscles develop, one does tend to weigh more, so don't worry too much about the weight gain... unless your clothes are tighter.

Oh... think I may have to pull up your winter posts about the never-ending cold!

I hate high heels too. I don't think I own any higher than 1 1/2 inches, even for dress-up.

I am walking a mile every day and since I have started I have gained 5 lbs.
I sleep better and feel better but I am stunned. I didn't know my beloved Sweet Baby Rays was fattening..better check the label.

P.S. I used Sweet Baby Ray's marinade on baked chicken a day ago and gained a pound. I think I won't be doing that again.

Teal, A one pound weight gain is normal daily fluctuation in weight. Up to three pounds can be normal. One chicken with Sweet Baby Ray's isn't the problem. it's that ice cream or the cookies, the slightly larger portion of food, on a regular basis, that packs on pounds. trust me, I KNOW.

Write more about the girls' visit. It's my way of having kids.

Last cold season was brutal, and the heat this summer is brutal. I walked from 9 am to 10:30 this morning, including exercises on the pier, and it knocked me out totally. I swam home in my own sweat. I've been good for nothing since.

Of course global warming has affected our climate. You would be proud of me. I got a request for funds from the G.O.P. and so did Ellie. We both replied and told them they were dividing the country and we wanted no more Sarah Palin, hated what the religious right is doing to the party, etc.
We used their postage paid envelopes to send our replies. We have no idea
how they got our names.
