Quick update: Bailey, the unfinished story

Further furnishing the story of Bailey's first canoe ride it's important to know that Bailey loves to point, the bigger the animal the more she like to do it. The Huron River is full of ducks, swans, and geese so you can only imagine, a point loving dog ensconced in birdom, was having the time of her life. Not only did she try to swim after the one goose before we stopped her, she also pointed at everyone we passed. You might think she'd learn that a four legged dog on two legs, trying to stand perfectly still while in a canoe, will lead to utter failure. I love my dog, she is not bright, she fell over. A lot.

Standing is hard, is fit worth it?

The standing will kill you. Looking for a way to keep fit during the day? Get a job where you stand and walk around, standing is hard work. This week I have been helping at out the flower shop my mother works at. They are a large wholesale florist, shipping to every chain and specialty grocer in the area and even states away.

The running around: in the cooler out of the cooler, wrapping bouquets, stripping thorns, loading racks of buckets, hauling 10 bouquets at a time and hosting them overhead; it is is madness. My body is tired just thinking about my day. As long as you can resist the cupcakes they bring in to snack on, a physical job like this is bound to help shed some pounds.

The downside: working with your hands makes you have ugly hands.

TV is Back, ahh true love

Tonight there is a new:

My Name is Earl

The Office

Scrubs

ER

and 30 Rock (for the 2 people I know that even watch that show)

So you can guess what I am doing. Enjoy TV being back on the air. Ahh, can you feel it, couch potato is settling in. Better be careful not to let my sitting effect weight loss Wednesday. Perhaps there will be some squats during commercials.

Talk about wanting to puke

No, I am not pregnant! But thank you Kmart clerk, not only for asking but for following up with...

"Oh, you're just fat in the middle then."

"Yep, that's me, fat middle"

See, that is what happens when you are overweight but not so overweight that it's obviously a weight issue. Everyone asks if your pregnant! To all my friends that carry weight in a place other than your belly, congrats. I was thrilled to have lost 7 pounds, now I just feel like it makes me look more like I am pregnant. Hope I can lose 7 more soon, and a few from my belly this time.

Quick Updates

Quick updates: More to come tomorrow for WLW.

1. I am still just like my father. This time we can thank Aunt Dorothy for reminding me. I also think I am just like her. Freaky concepts I know. But I think they, and I are all intelligent somewhat stubborn individuals with strong opinions and valid arguments. We are well-intentioned and good hearted, there may even be some scruples involved...

2. Sometimes when you're depressed, which I am not ashamed to admit I have been battling, you just need to talk about your feelings. Find a good friend that can listen and be patient. Sometimes you just need to be the one to do the talking.

3. I am honored to be standing up in the wedding of Ericia Thrash and Dave Caras. I know how stressful planning all of that jazz can get, but she is handling it so well and is going to be a beautiful bride. I don't have a link to her dress but if you want to see the Maids, check us out here and here. I am pretty sure those are the ones.
