Where I'm At Right Now

Hiding from the 100+ heat.

Trying to figure out how to rev up my metabolism to get rid of the 15 1/2 pounds I gained after I quit smoking plus the 20 that shouldn't have been there before.

Getting all the recipes I've pulled out of magazines organized.  Not helping the metabolism issue!

Re-doing all my to do lists.  They just keep getting longer. 

Re-thinking my blog. I know what I want to do it's just taking the time to do it. 

It's hard to focus when it's hot.  Speaking of hot did you hear that Harry Connick Jr. is going to be a judge on American Idol!  This may be the line that pulls me back to the show.

Dreaming of Fall, crisp cool air, and opening windows. 

Looking at the fall fashions and realizing my fall clothes aren't going to fit if I don't lose the extra pounds. 

On the plus side  (which I am right now) I live in Texas and it won't be cooler until October or November.  That gives me 30+  days to trim the fat weight off.

I found this link for Fall Fashion A-Z.  I can actually shop my closet for some of these.  I've never heard of an ear cuff.  (Then again I'm the girl who had to google the word "twerking" last week.)  Who knows, if I can trim this booty maybe I'll get funky and try one.  Do you think it would work over a hearing aid?

Stay Cool,

Kat

Always 2

 

I'm cheating, but not at cards. I'm re posting last years "Mother's Day" post just because I really like it. I also like the above picture. After all how often do you see a picture of a mother and daughter playing cards in the back of a speeding boat.

 

I'll be loving you always

With a love that's true always

When the things you've planned

need a helping hand

I will understand, always

 

 

Days may not be fair

That's when I'll be there always

Not for just an hour

Not for just a day

Not for just a year

But, always

 

 

 

Happy Mothers Day!

Me A-Z

Wow am I behind posting!  Time has a way of spinning past me so fast the older I get.   I can't seem to knock everything off of my to do lists and then I stress about not getting anything done and the more I stress the less I get done.  I've also been in a slump for awhile.  I lost one of my best friends. It was a shock and I miss her. 

So in order to jump start myself again I thought I would do a post.  I saw someone else use the Me A-Z and thought it would be kind of fun and a easy way to get blogging again.

Age - In my mind I feel about 30.  The truth is I'm 61.  Why is that is so hard to say? Sigh...

Bed Size - King 
 

Chore You Hate - Ironing
 

Dogs - I prefer cats.  I've been petless for over a year now since Rosie died at the age of 22.    I really want one of those golden retriever therapy dogs. It would be great therapy for me.   I also would love grumpy cat.  This cat makes me laugh everytime I see it's picture.

Other Fun Fact - Words trigger songs in my head constantly.  I'm forever annoying my friends with this trait.

Time You Wake Up - Early!  I'm usually up by 6.

X-Rays - Are essential for diagnostics.  This is a dumb X word.  We really need another. 
 

Yum Food - Chocolate of course.  But when no one is looking I like to dip my potato chips in cold water and then eat them.

Zoo Animal Favorite - If I had to pick one it would probably be lions.  Always Cats!    I really am not a fan of zoo's.  I always have felt sorry for the animals.  I feel the same way about circuses.  It's hard for me to enjoy those places.  "Born Free..........."
