Holiday Miracle

We had our first weigh in for this round of Biggest Loser today. Sugar Daddy, T and I have been comparing our statuses. Sugar Daddy and I figured that, at best, we had no change from last month. T was pretty sure he gained.

Our fourth member, Dave, wouldn't divulge. Sugar Daddy got on the scale and he was flat. T was up three pounds. I was down two and a half. Finally, it was Dave's turn. He wanted to know what each of us did and we wouldn't tell him since he was being so cagey. Turns out, he was flat.

I won the side bet! That's $75. I promptly spent $25 + of it tonight on wine with the girls but, hey, it was like found money.

I weigh myself every morning. This morning, I was down two pounds from yesterday. I didn't eat especially well yesterday. I had steak for dinner and two glasses of wine and Sugar Daddy and I had Taco Bell for lunch.

So, how did I lose two pounds in one night? Clearly, it was a miracle.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
