So far so good. Awoke at 8. Picked up my dry cleaning. Watched 2 episodes of Nigella Bites. Let’s see how the rest of the day goes. I need to respond to a few emails. Clean my room. Really clean my room. Maybe get my car washed…but what is the point when I never drive?
Have I mentioned that in a little over a week I am going to MEXICO!!!! Lisa and I are going on a one week vacation and I am so excited. I’ve been trying to diet a little so when I walk in my two-piece bathing suit my thighs don’t move too much, but it has been futile. I eat a little bowl of oatmeal and I am so proud. As the heat and frustrations of the day wear on, my resolve disappears and the next thing I know I am eating blueberry pie and orange sherbet. The food makes me feel better- so maybe it is worth it. Nigella would agree, I am sure.

Elderly GERMAN Yodeler Causes Police Alert
BERLIN (Reuters) – German police investigating reports of screams coming from an apartment said Wednesday they had found a 76-year-old woman practicing for a yodeling diploma.
Neighbors called police after hearing noises coming from the flat in the western town of Offenbach near Frankfurt.
“The officers weren’t able to judge whether the neighbors were unfamiliar with Bavarian folk music or whether the lady still requires a lot of practice,” police said in a statement.
Earlier, police in the city of Aachen said they had cautioned a man for screaming in a forest to relieve his stress. The man’s yelling had frightened neighbors.

Last night I had a dream I was walking through a city barefoot holding the hand of U2’s Bono. I felt so at peace and happy with Bono and I marveled at how he wasn’t at all the pinko-commie, obnoxious pig as he is on television. My foot started to hurt and Bono let me lean against him as I looked to see what was the matter. From my foot I pulled a piece of yarn… a very long piece of yarn, unraveling. FIN

i love you – kitten This is absolutely great! To think I have been slumming around Match.com– Oh, the time I have wasted! All I needed was this little kitten. Okay, I realize the kitten won’t call me back either but at least he says all the right things! BTW does anyone know if that is a real song the little kitten sings, it sounds somewhat familiar. Of course, it may be the song Charles Bronson sings to me in my dreams.

Okay, I also really like this one too- click here But BEWARE: it is politically incorrect. Speaking of lyrics, I always heard: You spin me right round baby right right round like a record baby right round GROUND ROUND! Gosh, I do miss the old Ground Round restaurants. Each table got endless baskets of popcorn and peanuts and while eating you watched old black and white cartoons they projected onto the walls. Those were the days, my friend!
