Okay, today's topic is: Do you find it harder to exercise or eat healthy?

Hmm...let's see. Considering that my eating habits are probably the worse in America, I'd say that would be it, HOWEVER.....(and this is my excuse people and I'm sticking with it) I know that I need to try to exercise, problem is, after about a minute, I'm so fricking exhausted that I cannot go on. Due to the RA in my lower spine, it is hard for me to stand for long periods of time, thus not aerobics or whatever. (What? Oh yeah, I guess I could do a stationary bicycle). Due to medications that I take, I cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (who was that calling me an albino?). Yes, excuses all.

I have begun to make better food choices. More leafy greens instead of rustling potato chips sacks. Trying to cut way back on the red meat that my family consumes. And I drink enough water every day. I can actually tell if I don't get enough water every day.

So, having said all that, I'm gonna go with exercise. Cause typing does not burn all that many calories. If it did, I would be the super model of the bunch cause I spend a lot of time doing exactly that.

Hello Monday.......goodbye weekend. Welcome daylight savings time. Goodbye eastern standard time. Hello extra hours of daylight in the evenings, goodbye driving to work in the daylight. I love this daylight savings time. I wish we would just leave it this way year round. I can't really see how we save electricity the other way, when it gets dark at 5:30 p.m. Oh well, I guess that is why they pay someone else big bucks to make that decision.
What do you like or dislike about the time change? Does your state even participate in this practice? I hope you all have a great week. Be blessed.

PLEASE, DON'T JUDGE ME TOO HARSHLY...




I have a confession to make. Hello, my name is Ouisa and I have a confession to make. (crickets chirping).


I have a new favorite television show. I have only been watching for two weeks now, but find myself in stitches for an hour each Thursday night. It's a sickness really. To find enjoyment from other people's woe is just wrong on so many levels.
Yet, I can't help but find myself attached to the television at it's time slot.
The premise of the show is that a couple that is having an "issue" will be shown telling what the problem is. Then a panel of celebrity judges will debate and give the "marriage ref"(Tom Papa) advice and then he makes a call either for the husband or wife. It is quite hilarious as at least one of the panelists is a comedian.
Does anyone else out there have this affinity for laughing at a married couple's problems? Is there help for me yet? Love to hear what you have to say.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Be blessed.

The topic for today is:
What is the perfect way to spend a rainy day?
Well, if you want the "R" rated version, it would be to spend the day sans kids, sans clothes, with hubby, making up for all the time we don't get to spend together.
The "G" version would be piled up on the couch with my kids watching movies and/or piled up reading a good book. A little snooze time, a lot of giggles and maybe some popcorn thrown in just for fun.

Dear Inconsiderate Postal Patron.....

Yesterday, I had to go to the post office to purchase a roll of stamps.

I had to wait in line for the ONE postal clerk who was working (nevermind that there were ten people waiting in line).
Finally, I was next. I began to get that joyful feeling. I was almost home free. NOT!!!!!

The man in front of me had an express envelope filled out and ready to go. THEN, he hands the clerk a regular #10 envelop and says he wants that letter mailed express as well. The clerk hands him another express mailer and the form that had to be filled out in order to mail it.
Do you think he stepped out of the way while he was carving the address hierogliphically? NO!!!! He leans on the counter and settles in for a long winter's nap. Thanks buddy!!
Everyone have a great weekend.

I have to tell you that I can cry at the drop of a hat. Commercials get me....movies get me....today, I was visiting one of my followers and happened upon the story of this little girl. I am still crying and still wiping the snot from my face.
