Got It! 2007-09-16 17:43:00 I just bought this nifty little bistro set for my deck....Its really cute and very cozy. It overlooks both of my gardens; It's peaceful and really quiet and very pretty....The deck overlooks the pool....Making it a pretty perfect setting in which to relax....And as I was sitting at my new bistro...just taking it all in and enjoying the moment, I looked across at the other empty bistro chair....and I wondered, why can't I find anyone to share that empty seat with?And then today as I was stumbling through the net.....I found the answer;
Orbit Takes His is "Ju Ju"; MonaVie 2007-09-15 17:21:00 This is Orbit
taking his "Ju Ju".....this is the stuff that makes his back better. We all take it. But this video is sooo cute. Orbit is just a sweetie.His weight is now down to 104 lbs. One year ago he was at 139, and was what the Vet called "obese"...and now look at him, almost down to 100 lbs. He's doing so good now....What is so great about MonoVie is that it has that Acaii Berri and a Chinese fruit called Leeche. In Chinese medicine we say that it is a Blood tonic. I believe works really good on Orbi'ts back because it fights inflammation.It is not Arthritis, because I just had his back x-rayed and it came back negative for any type of joint disease.....None the less both of us take it....See how much Orbit loves his JuJu:
The Problem With Fat 2007-09-15 14:04:00
IThe problem with losing weight when your older than fifty is that your skin literally hangs. That is because of the concept of carb depletion. When you don't eat a significant amount of carbs, you hold less water, which leaves ones skin.....how do I say...down right saggy.So what is a woman to do? The answer is; be patient and eat essential fatty acids to help with the elasticity of the skin. Whatever....it sucks.Here are my pictures from Sept 3
My skin looks tighter, but I am bigger. Now I am smaller and look flabby. thats okay, because when I carb up it will all tighten up.I am at exactly 135 on my way down to 134.....After labor day, which was a free for all of food with friends, I started at 140+.I hate taking pictures of myself....seems stupid.I am extremly tired from those year end exams...I feel like I can barely lift my head. I think I am going to crawl into bed with Orbit for "NAP NAP" time!Now that I am done with those horrible exams I can spend more time blogging...O Read more:Problem
Exam Day 2007-09-13 09:35:00 Augggg...today is my exam day...these are giant year end exams. I have to take themto to begin my internship for the acupuncture clinic. This is my last step of this four year process.So, the good news is...It is a milestone...a hard one at that.Positive thinking for the day is that this will mean I am entering my final three semesters....this time next year, I will be done.The picture says is all....Okay...gotta go and get ready.....
Must Be A Girl Thing.....Cause We're Hungry! 2007-09-09 22:42:00 Once again...my dogs can reflect how I feel. This chart pretty much sums it up for both me and Daisy.I of course am on my 90 day diet, so I feel like I could eat the food pyramid....I can say that my little 3 lb Daisy girl seems to have an non discerning palate and appears to enjoy her food as much as me and maybe more so.She leaps for joy when she gets her morning cottage cheese.Look at these pictures...like me, she is always looking for something good to eat....(click to enlarge)Notice that the frig door is always open so that she is able to get a look?...that's because I'm always gazing at what I can't eat....She joins in and offers up her opinion.Ya know, I'm known to have a good appetite...I can eat the best of them under the table. But I don't know, I think Daisy is right up there with me....I tested her just to see if she would eat anything I put in front of her and.... The answer is yes; Look here she is chowing down on watermelon;While Pinky can't believe his eyes.. Read more:Thing

My Dog's World...And I Just Live In It 2007-09-06 18:25:00 This cartoon is how I feel about the dogs today...they pretty much have me trained, thats for sure. What a great existence ....They don't have to worry about their next mealThey don't have to workThey receive unconditional love, and lets see....They get to sleep on my bed....oh and lets not forget about "treat day"They get a very wonderful treat(at least to them it is) everytime I go shopping they receive a special gift of Pig Ears, and it makes their day....Ahh, if only a set of Pig's Ears would make me happy....Of course Orbit's health is top priority around here. His last back problem (Meet Sweet Orbit) set me back $1500 from Vet bills.But more importantly, I have him taking best supplements that I can find. Currently, he is taking something called MonaVie. Actually this is something which we both take.This is great stuff, and at $40 bucks a bottle of 25 ounces, it should be great. But this product really really works, because it seems like a miracle potion for his back, Read more:World
Count Down...90 Days 2007-09-03 22:07:00 Time to get serious now...I knew that the past two weeks of dieting were working up to the day after labor day. I dieted for my show pretty heavy Monday through Saturday afternoon. I did not take starting pictures because I was too friggin fat and out of shape...I did take pictures after the first week of dieting and getting back to the gym.Here are the pictures...and boy...I have a long way to go...Although the video of me after week two shows definite improvement and I look in much better shape.Here is me after the second week of semi dieting and how funny.....I hate taking pictures of myself...but, I can see the difference and when your hungry it will keep you motivated!
And my blogs would not be complete without pictures of my dogs....Here is Pinky and Daisy sleeping together. I love to watch them....they have their own little world....Okay...tomorrow I'm back to school! and everything else...Summer is over for me.

Its Hot...Batteling the Elements 2007-09-02 21:02:00 Oaky...Labor Day weekend and its HOT...really hot for us....and there seems to be an invasion of F--king flies....errrrrrr, grumpI'm sweating as I write this blog...Anyway...got a new camera and I have been learning how to use it.Also, we can now easily add video...so I am going to start with one of my first videos of Pinky and Daisy playing.Daisy and Pinky are brother and sister...just from different litters....I have a suspicion that Daisy may have a different father, since she looks more like half German Sheppard or something like that.Here goes my first photo video
Okay, its nothing special...but I am way too hot to get creative today...I do have a favorite picture to add...Daisy had just come out of digging in the Garden with Pinky...Check out the dirt around her nose.Too hot to blog anymore...I have lots of stuff tomorrow!
Like Magic...and a Magic Rapid Fat Loss Link 2007-09-26 11:02:00 Ha....an add for Vigra...Get it? "Stays Up Like Magic
"I have a link here for a Fat Loss Diet that will help you lose weight like "magic". I am actually going to make this soup. I am going to start another blog on Chinese food therapy. It should be fun and interesting.Chinese Recipe For Rapid

I have missed my camera.I got some horrible news yesterday...The business that carries our accounts receivables has filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. They owe my business over 250K....needles to say, yesterday was a very crummy day....I hope to read this post next year, by then it will of been a year, and the shock will have passed. But right now, I am still in a state of denial that such a thing could of happened.Bummer to say the least...ouch ouch ouch.....
Sunday Secret for Patty 2007-09-25 16:30:00 I love this blog called Sunday
Secrets. Its about people who send in their secrets on picture postcards.....they always have a postcard that I can appreciate. This week, I dedicate this postcard to my Aunt Patty
.Two weeks ago, as usual I was harassing her about smoking. You see, she has progressive MS, and the smoking makes it worse. When she smokes she cannot get out of bed. It kicks her ass...but she has been a lifelong smoker for 40 years.She stayed with me for six weeks. During that time she did not smoke. By the end of the time, she was up and using her walker. She also increased her energy level ten fold...but....she was unhappy...because why do you think?Because she could not smoke. So she went back to her small apartment where she could smoke in peace.Tragic is the only word I can think of to describe the situation.I was bugging her to stop smoking again, because once again, she is bed ridden...she hung up on me and I have not heard from her since.I am sure she wants me to go a
Last Week 2007-09-24 08:53:00 What a tough week it was this past week from my dieting. I don't have a picture today because I have to get to the store and buy some batteries,l but I will have one tomorrow. I hit the 132 lb mark, which is a big deal for me. It is that weight point that is a "break through point" for the many times I have tried to get down to 120 and failed, because I always hit that set point of 134, and can't get past it...but this time hurray, I made it! Tomorrow...some pictures.I felt really zapped.....Also, the food I eat is BORING......here it is, the same thing everyday, mainly because I know how many calories each meal actually is, and it is food I can tolerate;morning 1/2 cup (raw) cooked oatmeal and waterlunch is 10 egg whites, two corn tortillas, 3/4 oz avocado, 1 oz non fat feta, 1 Tb low fat sour creamafternoon snack is the samedinner is the same with only 5 egg whites, 1 corn tortilla, no avocado, 1/2 oz nonfat feta, 1 TB of low fat sour creamsnack 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese and
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow 2007-10-04 14:41:00 Parting is such sorrow.....Yes its true...Pink Pinkerton had to say good by to the boys.The little scamp was starting to take to wondering out of the yard, down the canyon, and onto to the street which is directly below my house.To make these matters worse, he had Daisy Girl in tow, right behind him, so I was left with no alternative, but to cut the boys loose.Being that this is a spiritual dog blog, I began to contemplate the deep ramifications of this grave decision, and how such a thing might impact my own life.Thus as I reflected upon the deeper meaning about this particular subject, I then came up with this spiritual nugget;Lets take a moment to reflect on how easy life could be for all the wife's and girlfriends of the world, if we could just command the hubby or boyfriend to respect our wishes such as this;"Honey....I'm sorry but we gotta cut the boys loose, you've been straying from the home front a little too much for my comfort, so I feel its time to let the boys go...o Read more:Sweet

Buffing Up Daisy Girl 2007-10-02 15:43:00 Yesterday, we had a bad day. That bad dog Chico Martini bit poor Daisy
Girl, when all she wanted was a little interaction.A Snippet of Daisy and Chico
You see, Daisy Girl has a thing for that bad dog Chico Martini, she appears for some unknown reason to need his approval. She is always trying to get his attention by coming over to him, and very shyly lifting her little paw up into the air, and then swiping it, in a bashful, flirting type of motion that sweetly sends the message that says " I like you, will you play with me?"Here is a snippet of her love object:
That bad dog Chico Martini decided he had had enough of her puppy admiration, and on behalf of him and Orbit, he decided it was time to clobber sweet Daisy Girl. Once he made this decision his wrath was swift and severe, as he attacked her with a ferocious growl and then a swift bite....Daisy Girl was scared witless, peeing as she ran towards me, and more sadly the poor little innocent appeared ashamed and was demoraliz
My Sunday Secret 2007-10-01 09:36:00 This is my favorite secret for this week. But its really not a secret, is it?Think about how the nation came to an uproar about that football player and dog fighting.....as opposed to being evenly remotely upset when there are so many humans who do go homeless and die everyday...I do have to admit that I will ALWAYS give money to a homeless person who has a dog.... which is not always the case when they are alone and asking for funds. HmmmmmI also performed my first political action this week because I have a shameless secret which is:I HAVE NEVER VOTED IN MY LIFE!Yup..... I HAVE NEVER VOTEDThats going to change. I gave my first political donation to.............try to guess...Never mind, I'll tell you:Hillary Clinton..A whopping $10 bucks. HAHAHAHAHA....like she needs my measly $10 bucks...But it made me feel like I am part of the process.

Sept 30 Weigh In and Pinky Pictures 2007-09-30 10:16:00 This is Pinky
in the car. How cute is he when waiting for me. her perches up on the ledge to watch for me. I love when he does it, looks sooo cute. That's Orbits head right next to him.Funny how you get when your on a diet....I would use one word to describe it...discouraged. It is so easy to just want to chuck it. I think that is a mechanism that the mind uses to try and get one to start eating again. None the less, it seems that I am always trying to find a way to justify throwing away a month of hard work.When I look at the pictures, right when I first take them, I say to myself...How awful, how terrible, and I believe that there are no changes to be seen. But then when I go back and look at the pictures two weeks later, I can see the improvements.I think that is also called something like body dismorphic, or something like that. I have learned not to listen to myself, and just go on with my day. I shut down that little negative person that sits at the back of my mind and yaps at Read more:Weigh

Good by Forever....I Hope 2007-10-14 16:57:00 I wrote a blog a while back about the ex boyfriend trying to borrow money from me after six years of not at all being connected to me in any type of fashion, not even a distant friend.At the time of the break up he really broke my heart. I would say it took me a good four years to get over the whole thing....He caused me a lot of pain because of the wreckage he left behind when he figured he was done with me and what I could offer him, which was nothing because I was broke.Well he was at it again last week, pretty much demanding that I "do him a favor". Just like old times....except it wasn't.....I sent him a final e-mail today, hopefully I have heard the last from him forever;Hey Stephen,I hoped things worked out for you.I wanted to let you know that I did not think it quite fair what happened last week.We have not even been friends for six years. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable that you would even ask me such a thing.Its extraordinary that I even considered giving you a gua Read more:Forever
Sunday Weigh In...No Cream Cheese For Me 2007-10-14 08:53:00 How appropriate for this particular SundayWeigh
In....Shoot, I did not lose any weight form last week to this week which means;NO BAGEL AND CREAM CHEESE FOR ME TODAY!Boo hoo, boo hoo. But it's like that, I seem to go down in chunks. I also maybe didn'tt eat enough this week, because boy did I feel bad!I love this Sunday postcard from Post Secret. I can relate to the them of losing 30 lbs and dying while trying...This is frigin hard...Stuck at 130 for now.....I bought the coffee table book that just came out by the guy that has the blog of Post Secret. Every time I open it, I find something new. Anybody who is nosy about other people should love this blog and book, because it's fabulous...at least in my humble opinion. I'm a very inquisitive person and reading about peoples darkest secrets intrigues me.I can see from this video I need a bikini wax...but its getting cold around here and I need the hair for warmth! Tehe, tehe....plus, who should I wax for? Daisy and Pinky don't min Read more:Cream

My Blue Pictures And A Joke From Aunt Sally 2007-10-13 16:11:00 These are my very favorite pictures I have ever taken. I think I am starting to get the gist of how to take a good picture...One word...patience.This is Pinky and Daisy....the background is real. They are in a chair right next to a window with a gorgeous view. I think that these are the pictures that most reflect their personalities. I just had to post these!Here's the joke, it's cute; THREE WOMEN , TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED.THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. "THAT WAS MY PAGER," SHE SAID. "I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM." A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, "THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND."THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW - TECH. BUT NOT TO BE OUTDONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF TH Read more:Pictures

What To Eat and What NOT to Eat! 2007-10-12 15:06:00 I bring to you a PawHealer diet special. This is the section of what is GOOD to eat.What you are viewing is what I have been eating for 5 solid weeks, about three times a day.8 egg whites2 mini corn tortillas1 Tbs of Low Fat sour creams2 Tbs of Non Fat Feta CheeseSalsaTotal Calories 225I supplement this unhealthy eating with my Monavie...which seems to have cut the cravings. I really do not get hungry. I am astonished at how much easier my dieting is with the juice and how I have been able to really cut calories without feeling like I was going to die....It's going to be a great Weigh In Sunday, because I can really see the change...yahoo and whopee!Speaking of which....this next section is what people should NOT eat. Please don't hurt them anymore!!!
Karma Police 2007-10-10 08:57:00 I think some people can get away with bad behavior and never pay the price.Me.....I have Instant Karma....In fact the Karma Police
sit on my shoulder and write me a ticket the minute I offend.Take for example what I did that was not so nice yesterday.It was the day after Columbus Day, and I had to go to the post office to mail off some herbs for my customers. The parking lot of course was full, and people seemed to be a bit on the assertive side.I finally found a parking space, but in order to get into that spot, I had to back up, angle half way in, and let other cars pass me so that I could finish getting into the space. While I was waiting for cars to pass, this one guy tries to pull into MY parking space, oblivious to my obvious ownership of the space....ErrrrrrFive times I had to tell him that I was parking here... and finally I had to actually get out of the car, and yell at the guy, while not being very pleasant; "Whats wrong with you, can't you see that I am parking here?"This
Sunday Secret and Pictures of Us 2007-10-07 09:53:00 I loved this Post Secret card, well actually I love them all.This weeks picture reminds me of how I quite often feel.Five years ago, I was at the top of my game, lots of money, flying around the world, and I seemed to have it all. But I didn't and life came crashing down around me.I then started over, and life has become so much more simple. Instead of having a hard core corporate life, and living life in the fast lane, I have chosen to go back to school to become a healer.I now have the time to wake up each morning, look out to the day, and smell the coffee....literally. Enjoying my dogs so much is a direct result of that old life. I never did seem to appreciate anything at that time of my life except the party night life. Anyway....Currently I walk around feeling a strong love for my new life...but at the back of my head, there continues to be this little nagging voice that causes obtrusive thoughts, urging me on do something different and"bigger" with my life, and not going to Read more:Sunday

My Spiritual Evolution 2007-10-06 17:20:00 Today, once again my friend, who shall remain anonymous, did what I consider a very inconsiderate deed.I had agreed to take her to the train station today. But she was to call me last night and discuss the details. I did not hear from her, so I called her once but and she did not answer, nor did she ever call me back and talk about the plans.I thought she had made other arrangements.This morning I woke up around 6:20....and still this friend had not arrived...so I went about my business...checked my house phone, and still no messages...okay... for sure she found another ride.At 6:45, right as my coffee was brewing, and I was loading my last load of laundry, this person burst into the house.....screeching my name and DEMANDING to know if I was ready to take her to the train station.Errrrrr.....I told her that I was not expecting her, and that her not calling me to let me know the plan was a lack of common courtesy.....To which she replied... with sarcasm am and righteousness in her voic Read more:Evolution

Win a Blind Date! 2007-10-23 21:56:00 My young friend bless her heart, set me up on a blind date.It was a failure.He was 50 something, very grey hair, a tad short, and he was an extremely ultra conservative cop.This is not the first time that I have not found success with the process of a blind date.The previous blind date that was arranged on my behalf was with a guy that had a gold tooth along with the many tats marking his days he spent while in prison.So I gotta wonder....do I see myself differently than others see me?It must be so, because we have never come close to my dream date. That being said, I have decided to do something about this situation. I am going to make this list of what I am looking for, and then whenever someone wants to set me up, I will refer them to this post.Here goes;1. Must be a dog lover.2. Must be in above average physical condition and if not have a great personality that compensates for this shortfall.3. Must have money...I have done it for love too many times...not anymore...show me th Read more:Blind

Sunday Weigh In and Pictures of Us 2007-10-21 15:28:00 What can I say, its been one of those weeks.Yesterday at the dog park, a lady got upset at me and Orbit. She was so mad at us that she called me names.Well, as you can imagine, that's probably not the first time something like that has happened, but there was a new twist to the vicious verbal attack;Her insult was to call me an "ole ugly bitch".....I have been called a lot of names in my life, but I have never been called "old" before. I guess you could say that yesterday was a milestone day. I'm now officially considered "old"....Because this is a Spiritual Dog Blog, I had to put some deep thought into this post about this subject.I came up with the conclusion that it was a very sad day when a woman has to resort to calling another woman "old", as if that is the worse thing someone could be. By the way, she was old and ugly; truly she was.She was about 60, lots of extra weight, weird rusty colored hair, dark brown lipstick, very pale foundation, and an ass that was shaped like a g Read more:Sunday

Sunday Oct 27th Weigh In and Pictures of Us 2007-10-28 16:18:00 Today is SundayWeigh
In .....and I'm a tad under the weather today, in fact I feel like I'm being tortured. I'm almost eight long weeks into this self imposed torture ritual. I mustget some sort of pleasure from inflicting this constant denial upon myself in the quest for self discipline. (and the loss of 25 lbs), but today I can't remember what it is.I HAVE A STOMACH ACHE! I'm not with it today....Another good analogy is that I feel like I'm running the marathon and I'm at the "wall"...it seems that four more weeks or is it five...anyway, is a long haul until the finish line.That little man that sits in the back of my head (my friend Susan calls him her drunk monkey) and he whispers to me to forget about it, then he tells me that I have lost near 15 pounds and thats good enough...I keep yelling back at him (yes it's a him) to SHUT UP!I know it gets harder to loose weight the longer your on a restriction diet....I use to watch the Biggest Looser on TV, and I would see some o Read more:Pictures
San Diego Fire 2007-10-25 20:27:00 I live in San Diego
and have been experiencing these terrible fires for the past four days. I'm one of the two lucky ones that did not have to evacuate my home. But none the less everyone, even those not forced to leave has been significantly effected by these fire storms.First of all, it's not business as usual around here. All the schools are closed, and there is a feeling as if we are suspended in time. I am not sure if it is because the air is thick with a haze of thin smoke, or if it's from the realization that our weather seems to be taking a very serious turn.It could also be very strange around here because the sun is just an orange ball in the sky. I believe this is what it will be like when and if there is ever an end to this world. For a short time, the city was on fire and there was a significant loss of control, making this experience was very different from any other fire I have ever witnessed and I have lived in California my entire life.During the first few da Read more:San Diego
Happy Thursday 2007-10-31 01:01:00 I just read a post by Betty Jo at A Bead A Day...and I felt kinda relieved...like a little something was lifted off my shoulders.I appreciated that shared with all of us that she has days where she reflects back on her life and it makes her a little melancholy...It seems lately that I have been doing alot of the same thing... Her daily post for that day made me feel less alone because it was comforting to know that others were having similar thoughts and feelings. Thank you Betty Joe, glad its just not me!That being said...I would like to lighten the mood of my fellow bloggers...I dedicate this video to Betty Jo...I am sure that it will give you a good belly laugh, something to lighten up the mood for both of us!This came from Lady Banana, I enjoy her blogs because she always has something different and witty...or just plain funny!
