I boughted this album from a far away place called Germanyland!
Well window lickers it’s time for summer. Down here in the SOUTH (filled with racists, you are issued a hood at the Georgia border) the weather is getting a bit warmer and we are bidding adieu to old man winterspring. Notice how I worked in a reference to de Fuhrer PBUH by using German in that last sentence? That’s how racist we are down here. We speak German, hate cold weather, and are super friendly. I literally have no idea what any of this means. I’m just typing whatever pops into my grey mush.
So, it’s time for sidewalk chalk! A time honored tradition where people go outside with their kids, pretend to hear the phone ring, go back inside to make a drink, then go back outside in about 15 or 20 minutes to make sure the kiddos are still in one piece. While most kids fit more into the impressionist or modern art category, I think I’ve found some rather clever uses of sidewalk chalk for us to enjoy. These fun little pieces of temporary art all use the cracks to make something fun and whimsical.
I always think man, the people on You-tube used to be so creative. Remember when it first started how amazing it was? Yeah…see this video? How exciting is THIS?!?!?! The first back flip on You-tube
The first video I ever sent to Merv.
I’d like to thank lauraw for introducing me to this work of art…I believe it is part of the reason Merv fell madly in love with me……….three years after I showed him the video, but really…who’s counting?
The first cat video on You-tube……and as we all know, the Internet was created for cat and dog videos…..I’m pretty sure all videos uploaded to You-tube in 2005 were filmed with a potato.
Cybergoon squad…….the very first “weird side of You-tube” video.
And last, but not least, the VERY first video uploaded to You-tube by one of the founders enjoying his time at the zoo….my guess is, this guy is probably a rich mofo.
Also, it’s entirely possible I sprained my finger picking categories. I might die. I’ll miss you all.
I’m tired…and I’m disappointed because I realized just now that it’s Tuesday and not even Wednesday evening (when I created this post, not when it was published. Gawl)……..please kill me. Here is your poat.
Welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Today’s poat is going to fall into the “as little as possible” category. Really should have done this before the surgery.
Old song I heard on the radio.
Welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Rocketboy and FDIL married, and this was the song he picked for the groom and mother dance. I don’t think he could have picked a better one. Southern rock for the win.
Soooo, all summer, I had “events” to train for, and dieting just wasn’t on my mind . But now … there is not really anything on the horizon- no big challenges, etc. No excuses.
So I stepped on the scale and this is what I saw:
I’d like to drop about 15 pounds, so today is the first day of the rest of my … bla bla bla.
Onto the “motivational” pictures.
What do we have in the “binders” today… oh, lookie here …

I think I’ve illustrated the “fat” point pretty well. But WHAT diet to do? This one looks nice:
Ten pounds in a week? Sign me up. Week and a half, and I’d be DONE. I can’t find any information on it, so if anyone knows the ancient Chinese secret to losing 10 pounds in a week, drop me a line.
Then there is Eat All You Want Diet , which speaks to me on a spiritual level. You are supposed to read your body’s cues about what you need to eat, and how much, etc. Which … I’m pretty sure is how most of us ended up in the shape we’re in.
In essence this is an extreme vegan diet that describes meat as ‘dead, rotting, decomposing flesh’. The list of forbidden foods includes all animal products (meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy), refined flour, sugar, honey, beer, caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate) and any food that contains chemical additives like artificial sweeteners. “Sugar is the devil and artificial sweeteners just as bad” they state.
Sounds like FUN!
I think the worst diet that I’ve actually known people to try is the “egg diet”. I probably rolled my eyes the last time someone told me there were going on this diet. LOSE 24 POUNDS in 14 DAYS!!!
Awesome, right?
How does it work? Well, this is basically what you eat:
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs and 1 citric fruit.
-Lunch: 2 slices of bread and some fruit.
-Dinner: a bowl of salad and chicken.
…for two weeks. Someone try it and let me know how it goes.
I’m going to just do the boring “count macros, eat less, work-out ” thing. Mare is encouraged to call me a fat-ass until I reach my goal-ish range. Macrostax is the program I’m using (it’s just an app) and I’ll up my running while I can, and continue with crossfit.
