Blue Lady in Blue

Oh brother!  I needed to see a picture of me in living color to remember that I really shouldn't be posing.  What was I thinking?  Got some new pj bottoms in the mail and told Jenni: Oh, take my picture. They're so pretty.

Yep. There she is BIG BABY BLUE!  Sigh.... and why am I carrying on like this?  It's not like this is some new revelation that I'm ......on the chubby side.... ha ha ha ha

It's guilt, I suspect.  Went off the diet a little yesterday. Jen and Wayne were going out to eat after Maddie's basketball game and asked if I needed anything (I haven't ventured out for a week).
"Yeah. Would you pick up my pictures at Walgreen's and maybe a chocolate shake next door at Jack in the Box?"  Been a while since I had ice cream and I was really craving a shake.

Obviously dealing with an eating disorder here.  I slurped down that shake as if I hadn't eaten in days!
It was too slow coming through the straw so I popped the lid in order to get to it faster.  Ate some with my straw and worked on that shake like there was no tomorrow.  Managed to get it on my chin, on my shirt, and on the blanket covering my legs.  It was a pathetic sight, to say the least.  But oh my, was that a yummy delight!

Jenni ordered one for herself too but she put half of hers in the fridge to save for today. NOT ME!  I was doing halfway good up to that point although I was getting discouraged at the scale not moving for two or three days.  Damn scale is obviously not working correctly.

It's Sunday morning now as I sit here with morning coffee chastising  myself for my weakness of the night before.  I'm mad that I slipped but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.  I figure the fact I haven't brought any bread into the house for over a week says something. Course now all I can think about having typed those words is how much I really want some toast.  ha ha  Yeah,  eating disorder for sure!

Going to have to work harder at keeping my skin creamed up in this cold weather.  Feelin' itchy and dry.  Had quite a onery day with achy knees and general body stiffness yesterday.  Old people don't like cold weather.

Here's a shot of Sammy in the back yard.  He's weird sometimes.  Makes a beeline to get under the covers on Jenni's bed when she leaves it but still feels the need to run out to the back yard to chase the crows and bark at the chickens on the other side of the fence.

Got Johnny Cash playing on my CD boom box. Plan on working on my book this morning and that's about it.  Looking forward to my recliner, reading, watching football, and napping.
