Jenny Craig & Event Planning

It's a whole new world being thin

Part of losing weight is how good you feel. Everyone tells you this, but when you actually get there, you discover to your amazement that it is actually true! You feel great!

I weigh myself only once a week, and if the results are there ( meaning progress to the goal weight which is now only 2 lbs away)… then I plan an event.  Karen  being a PR guru knows all about ‘event planning.’

My events are simple meals. Smoorvis (South African) and Fried Catfish & Hush Puppies  ( Huck Finns in Tennessee)  are two fun meals I have on the horizon. Huck Finns will be easy as they supply everything… but the catfish.

As Forest Mars Sr. was fond of saying, ‘there has to be a prize for playing this game.’ And in the game of  Jenny Craig  it is ‘event planning.’

Home is

home should be that one special place to rebuild, relax and refresh 

I am comforted by the fact that ‘home’ represents so many special things to people. It is a place of refuge… a sanctuary… and most of all… a place to gather strength.

“There’s something about being home …The pain hurts a little less. Your hopes burn a little brighter. Life is possible again. I’m home.”
— Leroy Sievers

Home — to me — is a place to go to find comfort, solitude & peace…. until the next battle!

Seafood Paella and the Pan

Aaaah, now I can finally make ‘Seafood Paella’ the way it was intended!

Thanks to the good folks at PaellaPans.Com , I can now hold my head up in pride with an authentic pan… the size and style common in Spain. Heh heh, I think this is the single serving portion?

Obama’s Boo Boo for You You

a simple little expression of fond loyalty
Barack Obama must be wanting to end his Presidential bid rather quickly. If you haven’t heard, he decided NOT to wear a Pin with the American Flag on it. Then he went out to talk about it! Here’s a  choice bit  from what he said:

“I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest,” he said in the interview. “Instead, I’m going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism.” 

How Stupid can you be? On the other hand, if he has problems wearing the flag, then I am glad he took it off.

Blackwater Rocks and the Senate Rolls

Blackwater... doing their job one terrorist at a time 

I am reminded that the same ‘people’ who oppose  BLACKWATER  are the same folks who are working hard to lose Iraq. Is this a coincidence? I think not. Obviously, these independent contractors are effective … and SOMEONE wants them off the job!

Let me add, it goes without question that the American Military does a great job, but there are ‘things’ that  private contractors  can do that actually  save our military personnel.

When I think of the folks that want us to lose… I am reminded about the ‘importance’ of putting ‘governers’ on our military trucks and strictly adhearing to a 35 mph speed limit. I guess this was and is to allow our people to become better targets? Oh, there I go being a synic.

Blackwater and others serve a purpose, give it up ladies.
