I had an appointment yesterday. It was at the medical center clear across the state. Okay, so we’re in New Hampshire, so clear across means an hour and a half drive. Still…
I drove over and made it through all the construction, an accident, and all, (not mine) and arrived right on time. I got to the desk, checked in and the man says, “Oh, I’m sorry, your appointment isn’t until Friday. Didn’t anyone call you?”
No, no one called, no one wrote, even though they knew about this change before I went to Alaska! I was not pleased. I stood there and felt like crying. “Do you know how much it costs to fill my car up with gas?” He handed me a chit for gas. $10.00. That’ll hardly cover it, but I guess it’s better then nothing.
Still…

Forgive Me
The say confession is good for the soul.
So, forgive me.
Last night for dinner I had Fettuccini Alfredo and then an Almond Joy Mousse for dessert!!!
Yes. You now know that this means? A big carb splurge like that? Today is the first day of going back on South Beach. I know I have spoken about it before, but I really have to do it this time. Although I didn’t gain weight on the cruise I HAVE gained some since I got home. My stretch jeans are now about the only thing that fit. So, here goes.
I may come here and cry. I may come here wanting a chocolate fix.
I hope you will understand.
I Wish
I wish, I could bottle weather like this. Cool in the 70’s with bright blue skies, no wind and sunshine that warms the soul.
I wish, that when you reach your goal on a diet, that your metabolism would magically change so that you could eat anything you wanted and never again gain weight!
I wish, that people didn’t age. I know it is wonderful to learn things as we go along in life and to gain wisdom, but why should the acquisition of wisdom come at the cost of your body.
I wish, that time didn’t rush by us so quickly on the days when the wonderful things are happening, and then seeem to drag on, when your life is going to hell.
I wish, I wish, I wish…

Meandering Thoughts
I watched “The Apprentice” last night. I confess, it’s probably my favorite TV show. I love to watch the projects, I love to see how people think and what they do in different situations.
Last night was a great example. The men were disorganized and their project resulted in a really poor product. The women on the other hand, worked together well, worked hard and their product, was a very professional presentation. I could just see the Ad Company Reps faces light up! Yes, the women won last night!
Today is an easy cooking day. I have been marinating a Sauer Braten Roast all week and today I will cook it. This will be good and easy eating for my dear Old Man. I also serve mashed potatoes and red cabbage and cooked onions. All very soft foods that are almost pre-digested. Or at least they will be, because I will cook them until they are really soft.
I had this strange dream last night. My cousin and I were teens again and we were swimming at our favorite beach. Surf Drive. The beach was beautiful and the day was sunny, and we looked great! So very YOUNG! Ha! Well, it was a nice dream.
Life
Tuesday morning I was just about to make an entry in Princess, when it all froze up on me! My very own web page rejected me! I just knew it was me and I tried everything, but nothing worked. I fell into despair!
No one could fix it but my dear divinereality! And I am sending out a Big Thank You!!!
Tuesday Evening:
The phone rang. A very old and dear friend of ours was calling from Texas. He was in the non affected area of Texas.
He said, “Guess what? I’m coming to New Hampshire tomorrow.”
“Where are you staying, who is meeting you at the plane?” I asked.
“I don’t know.”
Now this gentleman is 87 years old. He has know Hubby since Hubby went to Germany to work in the late 1960’s. When Hubby and I first got married he lived with us and helped care for our pets while I traveled around the world with Hubby. So he is very dear to us in many, many ways.
“We’ll be at the airport and you’re staying with us!” I said.
Break Out the Champagne!
Thanks to dear Megan I am back up and running!!! More after dinner!!!
It’s Broke…
Something is wrong with my internet connection and I can’t access my web site… stay tuned; I should be back soon!
Dirty Little Secrets
Okay. I have hidden this from you all for the longest time. But it is time to confess. I watch the soaps. Two of them. “All My Children” and “General Hospital”. If I can’t be there to actually watch them I have been known to tape them, or, (gasp) watch Soap Network on cable at night to catch up.
Anyone else want to confess with me?
Oh Shoot!
In the night I had this awesome dream. During the dream I remember thnking that it would make a great Blog entry. (You see, I am starting to think of my life as to what can be used as a Blog entry!)
Good. I had a great entry for a wet and dismal Monday morning and I didn’t have to stress about it.
Fast forward to Monday morning. All I know is that I “HAD” a dream that would have made a great entry. What it was about, who was in it, I have no idea.
The good news from New Hampshire is I have lost 2 pounds in a week. I’m back to South Beaching it.
The bad news is, it’s raining like crazy.
