Losin’ It
Yesterday was a big day for me. A good day. See, I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting in 3 weeks – I was away on holiday for the first two, and it was a Bank Holiday on the third Monday. I had a lot to face up to: while we DID walk for miles in Vienna, I also indulged on a latte or two each day, and I’m pretty sure they weren’t made with skimmed milk. Oh, and one of those lattes was partaken with a piece of cake. Lovely cake. And I didn’t see a proper veggie until the last dinner there. I ate some of mine…

We Can Laugh About This, Right, Mom?…MOM?
My mom has a great sense of humor. And she is pretty damn tolerant. At least, I’m hoping. Today, I blew it. Totally dropped the ball. I didn’t call my mom. *hangs head* Yes, it is Mother’s Day. In the US. Where she lives. Unfortunately, it is not Mother’s Day in the UK. That was last month. Yes, we sent flowers. Yes, I sent a card – which I remembered to buy last month (because there are no Mother’s Day cards around in May), although, because it was last month, it went into the post, erm, a bit later than intended.

This is such a late entry to The Gallery that it almost IS tomorrow. As I was contemplating this week’s theme, yet another squabble broke about between my two – and I flashed back to a time when they were younger and got on much better together. A time like this: This photo was taken when my kiddos were two and four. She LURVED him, and he was, well, pretty tolerant of her. Today? Not so much so, at least in the mutual tolerance department. They fight like cats and dogs. She only needs to look at him cross-eyed, and I hear a wail of “Muuuuuuum”. This is the same…

Bread Lust
It was only the second day of Lent, and I fell off of the sacrificial wagon already. I was working my way through the farmer’s market last Thursday, putting together the evening meal and thought “I need some good crusty bread”. Never mind that I gave up bread for Lent. The sauce that goes on top of my salmon dish just begs for some bread, either something crusty or….OHMYGODISTHATFOCACCIA??!! Did I mention that I’m on Weight Watchers, and that I’m doing really well? While you can eat anything you want on Weight Watchers (so long as you point it), I have discovered that I lose my weight much more quickly…
