Today was the first day of my big plans for getting in shape. An online friend and I decided last week that we would do a “buddy system” kinda thing, start today and by summer.. we were going to be looking hot.. well at least presentable in a bathing suit, personally I will be happy if I can just end up being able to zip my pants without laying on the bed. We had our exercises and time to exercise mapped out, what kind of foods to eat, what kind of foods not to eat.. etc.

I failed.. miserably. I realized after my second cup of coffee that I had added sugar (whoops!) to both cups, I normally don’t eat breakfast but for some reason this morning I just had to have those Eggo Chocolate Chip pancakes of all things, and I didn’t start exercising at 10:00 am like I was supposed to.. still haven’t and more than likely won’t since I am obviously the type that will latch on to any excuse in order to avoid it… “Oops! Too late, guess I’ll have to start tomorrow.”

I even looked at my kitchen floor that just since last night needs sweeping, it looks like my kids had a food fight this morning, thinking okay.. well I can do that, it would at least be some movement and I can stretch it in the telling and make it sound very rigorous.

But did I do even that little bit? No.. I’m sitting here in my favorite chair, doing my favorite thing, sated from my pancakes, drinking my sweetened coffee and weighing the odds of how likely it would be for a bus load of convicts to show up and clean my kitchen floor like they do on the side of the interstate, since that is what it resembles.

Dieting.. exercising.. that is hard work! I’m already worn out.

How many of you dye your hair? Do you dye it…

To hide the grays
Not happy with your original color
Want something to match your mood
Want to be different

Whatever the reason, change is always good!

Valentine’s Day is coming up so time to get in the mood and introduce your partner to Betty

Would you want to have a baby at the age of 67? Wait.. strike that, would you want to have TWINS at the age of 67?

Well this one woman did. She lied to the doctors at the fertility clinic saying she was 55, which is the cuttoff date for being able to receive the treatments, sold her home in Spain to help pay of for the $60,000 procedure, then looked through photos and decided on a pretty, brown-haired 18-year-old to be her egg donor and a blond, blue-eyed Italian American as the sperm donor.

She claimed that they didn’t ask for her age or her passport, and that she may look tired now, but before the births she claims to have been slim and looking a lot younger.

She recieived hormone therapy first, had her first period in 18 years, conceived on the first attempt and delivered her twin babies on December 29th. She feels that she will have no trouble raising the children as a single parent and that she will be around for a long time since her mom lived to be 101 and there is no reason she can’t do the same.

Forget her, I feel sorry for those little babies.
