Fad Diets

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Today I went to a different WW meeting than my usual one on Thursdays. The leader asked people about what fad diets they have tried. Among the many that were mentioned were the grapefruit diet, the soup diet, etc… Then a lady raised her hand and said that in the 1970’s she and her friends went on a diet (apparently that was seriously published) called the Chocolate and Marijuana Diet. Everyone busted up and that was the topic of discussion, or amusement, for the next 10 minutes. Heck, I’d lose weight, too, if I was too high all the time to think about eating!

Clean House

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Someone else cleaned my house. And I liked it. A lot.

My friend Erin has employed a housecleaner for a while but now isn’t able to pay for that service anymore. So she asked if I would like to have a trial run with her housecleaner and she would pay for those two hours. Well, of course, I couldn’t turn that down. So Tuesday morning the housecleaner, Lupe, came to my house and cleaned the heck out of it. I mean, this woman is a cleaning machine. She definitely had her work cut out for her considering I’ve been sick for a week and my house was a wreck. I’m worried that I liked Lupe’s work too much. Because now I’m seriously considering having her come on a regular basis, and that costs money. It sure would be a big help while I’m trying to figure out my fatigue and sleep issues. We’ll see. For now, I’m going to enjoy my sparkling house!
