I am so addicted to Words with Friends and Scrabble. I can't leave it alone! And the thing is...I'm not very good at it. Words with Friends I am ok but Scrabble sucks. I have never won an online scrabble game. At the rate I am going, I never will. If you want to play me through Facebook, just send an invite. I never turn one down. Thus, the addiction...
Still don't have a name for the food blog. I had an MRI the other night so while I was in there I started brainstorming. Ha! I was just being punny! The MRI was on my brain...brainstorming...yeah, you get it. And yeah, my brain is whacked. Just a personal opinion. The MRI results are not back yet. The weirdest stuff went on while I was in that tube. I was actually falling asleep with all the racket going on in the machine. I would immediately start dreaming but it was in tune to the noises. So people would be talking in my dream but they would be stuttering. It was hilarious! Never mind, if you have never had an MRI this will make no sense to you in the least bit. It doesn't take much to amuse myself (as you can tell). But like I was saying - still need a name for that blog.
Went to the Olive Garden tonight with a group of women. It was a nice time. It's my 3rd trip to the Olive Garden in 10 days. You know their commercial, right? "When You're Here, You're Family"? I am THE family. And if I start to look like a piece of pasta I certainly hope it will be some linguini or some penne. Not a super-sized ravioli.
Not much going on in my world. Roxie and Zoe are both awesome. Love my girls! And I love my Blog readers too! ♥

Caution: Hot Pan!
Here are my 5 pet peeves when I see other vehicles on the road:
1. A back windshield covered in NOTW decals. Really?
2. Anything Obama.
3. My kid is an honor student...that is SO overused and frankly, annoying.
4. Usually on trucks...the boob angel and the boob devil (way worse than NOTW).
5. Balls hanging off of a hitch.
Just had to say all that to get it out of my head!
I got a bad burn on my hand today. Bad in the sense that it hurt like heck. Not very smart of me...I have one of those pans that can go from stove to oven. So I carefully pulled it out of the oven this morning and set it on the counter. Within 3 minutes I completely forgot it had just been in the oven and I grabbed the handle to move the pan. Ouch doesn't even cut it. It hurt so bad that I actually cried. I immediately stuck my hand under cold water and then held an ice cube on there for a long while. Definitely kept it from blistering. I have the faint sign of a blister but not so bad. It still hurts but nothing like this morning.
Good football day. Chargers won. Packers won.
I made a dozen thank you cards this morning. Every time I sit down to make cards I am reminded how much I enjoy it. I had a plan to display my cards at a store in Murrieta where Jeanette has a little succulent business going on. She rented out an outdoor area and has all of her plants displayed for sale. However, she is going through some tough times right now because of her mom being so sick. She has decided to close her business. So my cards won't be going there. However, there is a gift shop next to my hair salon in San Marcos. I am going to put together a sales packet and take it in there to see if they will display my work.
Made an awesome vegetable and cheese frittata this morning for breakfast. Thus the burn on the hand. Saving the recipe for my food blog. That would be the blog that has not launched yet do to lack of a title. I just can't come up with what to call it. I think and think. I assume one of these days it will come to me.
Back to work in the morning. Mondays roll around like light speed. Have a good week! ♥

On Eating and Cooking
So it's been a while since my last post. I just haven't been in a writing kind of mood. Actually I have felt like death for almost a month but this week I think I might live after all. I had no idea how pneumonia can drag you down for a very long time.
Very long week - it just seemed to go on forever. Today was no exception. I think that attorneys have the ability to suck the life out of a person. Not all of them because I have a few friends who are attorneys and of course I have nothing but fabulous things to say about them! But the rest of them can truly do you in. Obviously I am a glutton for punishment because I have been working in law offices for most of 25 years. I know enough law that honestly, I should have gone to law school and been one of those people who sucks life out. My bad for sure!
I had something happen to me today that I knew was going to happen but I didn't know when or who. I was eating a cheese sandwich on a bagel for lunch and someone said to me "I can't believe you are eating something you shouldn't have". Ouch. With having gone through a weight loss program, you are bound to face all kinds of comments. And I have. I am not done with my journey but I definitely am having a bit of a struggle right now. One of the feelings (or fears) that you have is that everyone is looking at you and everyone is judging you when you put food into your mouth. It's a horrible feeling. I always feel like people are watching. And then today, sure enough, someone said something. I didn't know what to say. I ended up essentially saying was that I would like to be able to eat with zero comments from anyone. She kind of made a joke about it by saying it just looked good and she wished she had one too. I know people think it. Just keep it to yourself. Sensitive subject material.
While on the subject of food and how Jules shouldn't be eating it (unless it's green and leafy), I have decided that I want to start a food blog. I know, I know...I don't keep up with this blog so why add another?! Just because. My favorite books to read are not mysteries, romance, self help, or historical. They are cookbooks! Yes, I actually read cookbooks. I have read cookbooks since I was a little kid. I love cooking magazines. I also read menus from restaurants online. I love reading about what ingredients are put together to make something. It fascinates me. I day dream about cooking and baking. Surprisingly, I don't dream about eating it though. Just the cooking part. And it's such a natural high when you make something and someone tells you how wonderful it is. So fun and satisfying to me. What I need to do is figure out a name for the blog and launch it.
New favorite TV show this season..."Revenge". A fun watch. Not funny, but fun. Definitely not funny. And my ongoing favorite show..."Chopped". Cooking show of course. Totally hooked.

PD
I am loving this cooler weather. That means my favorite season is almost here...Fall. I just wish we could have what other states do...leaves changing color. I would love that.
I did not go to my group tonight. Still not feeling well. I think this is something like day #28. I don't think I have ever been sick for this long before. Today was free flu shot day at work but I couldn't have one because of just getting over the pneumonia.
I just tried on a dress in my closet - I really love it and for me, I would call it the perfect dress. It's pretty simple. It's black. Soft velvet. Above the knee. The only thing wrong with my perfect dress is that it does not fit me in any shape or form. In fact, it's the hideous perfect dress right now. So now I have a goal. I need to fit into Perfect Dress (now called PD) by November 20. My cousin Andy is getting married and I need black attire and PD fits the bill. Just not the body! So I begin my 2 month challenge. Keeping my fingers crossed.
My friend Jeanette's mom, Esther, is very sick. My most important prayer to God today is that he watch over Esther and make her well again. She is in ICU and having seizures. The doctors can't find what is wrong with her. She was doing so much better this morning and was starting to wake up but at 3:00 she took a turn for the worse and had another seizure and others after that. Now she is non-responsive. I love Esther and pray that she gets well. Here is a picture of Esther...she is so cute. She is a small woman with a very big heart!
She was in Vegas with us for Luigi's 50th birthday. It was fun having her there! The nurses at the hospital have commented on her tan. That's because Esther was out at the pool with us every day!♥
