Another day...another 50 cents.

Hiya Stevie baby, what's shakin', you sexy hunk of man?!

I have forgotten just how damned SLOW a PC is, compared to a Mac computer...Pete has converted me, and I will never go back.  My mom's computer is fairly new, but slow because she uses AOL...I thought that was a totally EXTINCT program nowadays, but apparently it's still around.  I'm glad I switched to a Mac though.

Anyway, I've been unpacking stuff and getting things settled a bit, trying to figure out where things will go, and what things I don't need anymore (yard sale box). Other than that, it's been a crazy weather day around here, super heavy rain, then sunshine and blue skies, then HAIL, mixed with more rain and thunder, it's just been totally weird.  We are only 9 days away from going to camp, and if this rain keeps up, it'll SUCK.  So, I say GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM NOW, YOU DAMNED RAIN, and don't you DARE rain even ONCE while we're at camp!!

Well, it's time for me to make some dinner, so bbq ribs sounds like a plan...with some baked beans and some kind of veggie, (I'd LOVE corn on the cob, but alas, it's all sugar, and I'm diabetic, so that is a bummer)...I guess I'll open up a can of beets...yeah yeah, I know, canned veggies suck, but nobody else around here will eat beets except Florence and I, so a can is all we need. The others can have carrots I guess. (Too sugary also, unfortunately).  Being diabetic really is a bummer, but my doctor says if I lose 40 pounds, I may be able to get rid of it permanently.  So, that's the agenda.  My chiropractor gave me a phone number of a nutritionist that works primarily with diabetics, so we'll see if that helps. I have tried Weight Watchers, and it blows, so I quit...then I've tried South Beach, but I like bread and butter too damned much to give it up for very long, and I've tried just about every other diet program you can think of....except for Jenny Craig or NutriSystem D.


I really think the best thing I can do at this point is just get on that damned treadmill and walk every day, and use the recumbent bike, and just keep doing it while watching t.v. or reading a magazine, or listening to tunes.  Speaking of tunes, Pete bought us tickets to 4 shows (in a packaged deal), so we're going to see Tedly The Nuge Nugent (what a dweeb he is, but ok, what the hell), and ZZ Top, and Heart, and Styx.  Then, of course, we're also going to see Josh Groban with Florence, and then we'll get to hob nob with the boys in Journey (I just wish you would be among them...that would be the most cosmic orgasmic event in the whole universe and it makes me all moist just thinking about it), but then it'll be YOUR TURN my friend, so get busy with that album and get your butt out there on tour so I can see you for real...they say three's a charm...and I've already met you twice, so WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!

Gotta go...time to make dinner.  Love, Rebecca  ps. You're invited, of course, if you're hungry. It's a bit of a commute, and don't mind the boxes of stuff all over the place...but you're always welcome to hang out with us and have some food.  We're friendly that way!  (*and I've been watching The Waltons with Florence today).
