1. I have fallen in love with the British TV show Coupling. Just started watching it the other day… it is hysterical! Try to catch it if you can.
2. Cocoa the cat has been diagnosed as a diabetic. Twice a day he needs a shot of insulin. Oddly enough, it is easier to give him the shot than forcing pills down his throat.
3. I just got back from a brisk walk and I FEEL GREAT– absolutely invigorated. I have to lose my 5lbs of winter weight. If I could only motivate myself to wake up earlier in the morning and walk, it might come off faster.
4. I finally did my wash. Which means I don’t have to say my morning prayer: “Please God, please let there be a pair of clean underwear in the drawer, Please…Please… Pretty Please with cherries on top!”
5. In an effort to eradicate the constantly looping “It’s a neat new trick, you know/ Pump it on your brush and GO!/ They’ve got the Colgate Pump!/ She’s got the Colgate Pump!” I have started listening to songs that have set up residence in my head in the past and will evict the incessant Colgate jingle. Here is the playlist: The Tide is High. Something Stupid. My Baby Shot me Down. The one that really works is Renee and Renault’s Save your Love… I doubt anyone has heard this schmaltzy half English – half Italian monstrosity…but just hearing a few bars of it starts me singing: Save your love my darling, save your love/ For summer nights with moon and stars above/ A serenade I long to sing you/ The reddest rose I’ll always bring you/ Save your love for Roma and for me !
