Goes to Jeff! Watching the Oscars isn't something that Jeff would do, if he had any other choice. But, happy to say, that Jeff stayed in there to the bitter end. Of all the movies, actors etc., who won awards, there is only I think 2 of those movies we've seen.
But, for me it isn't so much about who wins what, it's who's wearing what. Considering that all of these ladies, in particular, likely have someone dress them, I'm sure a look in the mirror might have been good.
Billy Porter, who ever he is, was wearing a tux top and a long black skirt. Helen Mirren wore a beautiful dress with a nicely put together a pink and red dress. The dress was as gorgeous as she is.
And, then there were the awkward, and some downright ugly outfits. Billie Eilish (who I have never heard of - but what the heck, I'm old), had yellow and black hair. She had long black nails, the length of which would make picking up change, for instance, nearly impossible. Apparently, her "outfit", which reminded me of let's say the 60's mohair fad.
There was a latex dress (imagine sitting for 3 hours). J Lo wore a mosaic of mirrors dress (again, comfort level). And, Glenn Close wore a gold outfit, complete with train that weighed 42 pounds!
Of course, there were many, many dresses with a slit to show most of a leg. And, tops that I'm sure were secured in place with, I thought some kind of glue, but I was wrong. There is a product called "Boob Lifting Tape), whatever that is. As an old woman, I was always taught that more is less. Understand?
Well, this is my micro-sized opinion of some of the things I saw last night.
Getting dressed now. Now, where did I put those comfy, elastic waist pants?

Feeling Good About Me!
2/9/2020
As you know, I've been "dieting" for a year now. High protein, small portions, and things like that. I'm proud to say that this form of dieting has worked wonders for me! I've lost over 40 pounds, and now my wardrobe problem is finding clothes that aren't too big. Hence, my donation of multiple bags of clothing. I believe that if I have a back-up plan, like larger sized clothes, it might be easy to put on a pound or two. And, trust me I don't want that to happen.
Last night while poking around at television shows, I happened upon a show about a "600 pound man". Curious, I checked in. I felt bad for this man, who had been on the heavy side for most of his life. And, I know from experience, that it's very easy to excuse a pound or two - or in his case - 600 pounds. At that weight, this poor man could hardly move, and for the most part didn't. Walking was difficult and painful for him. When he took a shower, his wife had to wash underneath the rolls of fat. Mind you, the wife was at a normal size.
He finally went to see a bariatric surgeon, who put him on an actual diet. The diet was hard for this man, as it is for all of us. He finally got down to 400+ pounds and then had surgery. The surgeon was going to do a lap gastric sleeve operation. That is the kind of surgery that I had. And, here's what happens. While initially, you can't eat very much food, but over time that "reduced" sleeve can expand. That's what happened to me. Five pounds no biggie, neither did a 10 pound gain bother me much. Then, things started to get out of control. Since my surgery in 2010, I unfortunately gained 66 pounds! And, that's not good. So I just kept buying bigger and bigger sized clothing. But, it's hard to hide your expanding body. Once, I had to start buying 4x clothing, I knew that I had to do something to lose weight.
Checking the statistics, a 600 pound man eats approximately 7,000 calories a day. That's a lot of food. And, most of that food was more or less fast food. The standard for women is 2,000 calories a day. For a man, it's 2,500 pounds.
I haven't kept track, nor do I intend to, count my calories. What I do though, is weigh twice a day. I know over-kill, but very important to me. The high protein diet has worked well for me. I eat my usual breakfast - toast and coffee. Lunch is something small, and a dinner, where I try to leave something on the plate. I haven't lost my sweet tooth, so sometime during the evening, I eat my "Frostie Flakes" with a sliced banana. How many calories do I consume in a day? I have no idea. What I do know is that I'm steadily either maintaining my present weight, or lose a pound or two in a week. At this moment, I am 9 pounds away from my first goal. And, there are no tricky holidays coming up. I really had to be on my best behavior during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I hope the 600 man loses enough weight to make him feel good about himself, and then at least maintain the weight loss.
Here's one way to get 7,000 calories eaten in a day:

Books
2/7/2020
It's not new news (boy, that sounds odd!), but I have had most of my life, reading books. Or, as Jeff would describe it, scanning books. You know people who can walk and chew gum at the same time (um, perhaps there is no such person). Jeff and I will watch some television shows together. And, while doing so, I can "read" for a few minutes, while also being mostly engaged in the show.
One of my favorite gifts is a Little Golden Book. Little Golden Books got their start in 1942, and cost a quarter. One of my favorite book is "The Poky Little Puppy". Research shows that since 1942, Two Billion books have been sold! Before bedtime, when I was young, my Dad would read a Golden Book to me. I believe that in doing so, he started me down the path to reading, and reading......
Checking out these books on Ebay, definitely shows that you can't buy any book for a quarter. You can, however, buy a book lot of 580 books, for the mere price of $580.00. I like these books, and would like to have more, but, from one seller each of his books cost $24.50! I don't want any of these special books priced at $24.50.
At this moment, I have books on shelves, books by my chair and books in a rolling cart. In other words, it's obvious that I own books. I would really like to give a book I've read to somebody else to read. Trouble is, I generally can't find anybody who wants my books. I am donating to Purple Heart this week, an entire box of books. This means, that at some point in time, somebody will buy one of these books, and let the world go by.
I have one book "Ladies of the Club", which is a massive book, You could probably do bodily harm if you hurled the book at someone. Friends have borrowed the book, and returned it to me, within days. Which means, they weren't into the story. I understand. Break the book down, at the beginning goes like this: Ladies of the Club" is a novel, about a group of women in the fictional town of Waynesboro, Ohio, who begin a woman's literary club, which evolves through the years into a significant community service organization in the town. The book is large, 1,176 pages to be exact. Here's what I know about this particular book is: I will never lend it anyone and certainly won't be donating it.
After blogging, I will head to my chair to continue reading one of my library books. I actually prefer to buy a book that doesn't have a due date for return. I buy my books from Amazon (duh), and always select a used copy, which can, for some books, be as low as $1.81! Who can beat that?
My calendar for this day says: For a most pleasant experience, stand barefoot in that warm spot where your dog was just sleeping. How true.

The Bachelor
2/6/2020
This morning, I was able to see two episodes of "The Bachelor". What a way to start off a day!
The weather is drab and rainy. The predication of weather calls for rain, and then more rain. Don't worry, I have my "SAD" light on. I use it every day, but for sure, need it today.
Oh, back to the Bachelor. I am able to get distracted so easily. One website, says that 70-80% of the show is loosely scripted. While I watch the show - and I never miss a season, I am fully aware that this is after all a "reality" show.
Some other things to know about this show, is that the contestants get between $7K to $15K per season. And, the season is only 12 weeks long. While all the contestants have to take time off from their real jobs (and I assume that's what they do). If you do the math, and I did, with the help of a calculator, The pay can range between $84,00.00 to $180,000. Obviously, I am sure that everybody wants to be paid the higher amount.
And, the ring. Most expensive ring a 3.5 carat ring valued at $150,000. In the 2002 season, the ring was valued at $29,000. This relationship didn't work, and no surprise most of them don't, was sold on Ebay for $28,000.
Once the cameras are turned off, and each couple returns to the "real" world, that's when true reality begins. One couple, have been married for 15 years, but that is the exception. The question is: will the present "winners" be able to stay together and/or get married. Don't know, we'll have to wait and see! Obviously, I watch this show and all my cooking shows, when Jeff is working in his office.
Before I leave, the "holiday" for today is "national frozen yogurt day". Does ice cream count?

I Lnow - I'm Late This Morning
2/5/2020
I have a somewhat of a genuine excuse. But, it might be weak. I stayed up last night to watch the State of the Union Address. For the Senators, it sometimes looked like "Wack A Mole"! Up and down, applause for this and applause for that.
There was, of course, people of significance in the balcony with Melania. Any of the people who sit up in the balcony, are called out by the President for things they've done, or, things that the President is going to do for them. One of the most heart warming situation, was when a military man, after 4 tours in the Middle East, came down the stairs and surprised his wife and children. Of course, once you've been called out, then said person(s) have to stand up to be recognized and applauded by everyone on the floor.
Then, there was the Iowa caucus. It's bad when starting out with the first state, and having issues with the count. And, unfortunately Iowa still hasn't announced the winner. Something went wrong with the app people were supposed to use. Remember, in one election, that the "chads" (however you spell it, became a real issue in Florida.
I, have no idea how or when voting and counting those votes, will resolve itself. But, I, think this makes people question the results.
Then, this morning, I read the entire paper, and that takes time people. It's true that I don't understand everything I read, but I really do try.
Jeff is out for lunch with his IBM buddies. Me? Getting ready for Ada. Jeff doesn't under-stand me doing this, but, as I've said before, it's a woman thing. I think the cleaning bit is because as the woman of the house, you don't want your house cleaner to know how messy things are in your house!
The nonsense calendar says that today is "National Chocolate Fondue" day. I, can so get behind this. Yummy,
That's all for today. See you tomorrow.

Filing Papers and Donations
2/4/2020
I have, in bits and pieces of my time, been filing in Jeff's office. Obviously, that end of the year stuff, but today, I'm going to shred all of the paid bills. I mean, how do you really need to save a utility bill? If, you missed paying a company, trust me, they'd be in touch. So, I wonder why, for all these years, I keep them. With the exception of papers that involve either of the two companies - 4A computing, and Jeffco (the plane), everything else is going to be "outta here"! Downside? I have to shred any papers that have our name, address. etc. Basically, anything that could identify us. I remember fondly the days ago, when you could just toss all your unneeded documents in the trash. Obviously, those days are long gone - pity.
After applying myself to the job, I have bagged or boxed the clothes, etc., that I want to donate. Since Benjamin is going to be 12 in April, I have boxed up some of his "younger self" toys. I am keeping the very nice foam blocks that we bought him, as well as his tiny little chair. All I have to do now, is schedule a pick-up, and identify each box, etc., with the name Purple Heart. It is, on one hand, very satisfying getting rid of stuff. I mean, how long are you going to keep books that have been read? As a huge book reader, I simply cannot put books in with the trash. There must be somebody out there, who might want my books.
Occasionally, when I buy a used book from Amazon (is there anybody else?), a piece of paper falls out. In one book, there was a woman's name and address. So tempted to send her a note letting her know I now have her book. Kind of like a message in a bottle.
Between watching our regular shows last night, we occasionally would skip over to CNN to see how the voting was going. Okay, checked in, now back to our regularly scheduled television shows. For me, I can only watch "talking heads" for a limited time. After all, it seems as if, and I know they are, saying the same things over and over. And, now I see in today's paper that there is some controversy over the ballots.
Due to “inconsistencies” with the app used to record and relay the votes, there are no Democratic results yet from the Iowa caucuses, which left voters confused. The candidates are already moving on to their next battleground, New Hampshire. And, that's all I have to say about politics.
Today, is: thank your mailman day, and create a vacuum day (whatever that means).
Have a happy day. Our weather is gloomy and gray. It's not cold, merely dreary.

Super Bowl Sunday
2/3/2020
Yesterday started off on a bad note. When I got out of bed, I tripped over one of Bella's bones. This bone is heavy and when I tripped, I, of course fell. Once again I landed on my left knee (good thing my bones are in good shape), and hit my head on the cabinet. I, was truly grateful that my trainer had shown me how to get up. And, once again using her method, I was able to get back up. New knot on my knee, but otherwise okay.
The afternoon was a quiet day for Jeff and I. Jeff made chili and cornbread for dinner. Both, were yummy. My contribution to dinner, was clean-up. Never a chore that people are begging to do! In actuality, Jeff doesn't make as much of a mess in the kitchen than I do. When I cook, bake, etc., I literally use all of the counters, and looks like a battle zone! And, this is not an understatement, it's absolutely the truth - sadly.
Before the game started, Jeff asked me which team I wanted. Knowing next to nothing about football, I picked the team with the red jerseys. Why? Because I like the color red. I think that team was called the Cardinals, but I could be wrong. Long story short, the red shirts won!!! Yippee for me.
Before the game started, I went upstairs to put on my pj's. I knew the game would last a long time, and It's better for me, to be ready for bed, before I take my night time pills.
I have been putting together things to donate to Purple Heart. I, am going out on a limb. I have accumulated six bags of clothes that are impossibly too big. What a wonderful thing to say. Now, if I no longer own bigger clothes, I will have to be super aware of not so much what I eat, but how much I eat. I've been really focused on this plan for over a year now. I'm unable to exercise, so my weight loss comes down to just my will power. This may sound overkill, and it probably is, but I weigh twice a day. I want to be always aware if the scale is not moving to the left (i.e., lower numbers).
I can no longer wear my wedding ring (it's too big), and it's such a beautiful ring that I miss wearing it. No sense getting it sized, at least not yet. Instead, I have put two rings from Amazon, that were super cheap, but are a pretty good fit for me, for now.
I regress. On Saturday, Jeff and I, and of course Bella, went to do the weekly shop. Please me proud of me - I walked through both stores. Mind you, by the time we were done, my left hip was reminding me of why I don't walk for pleasure, because frankly, it hurts - every time.
My trainer asks me at every session, if my hip is "talking" to me. My answer, is always the same, you bet it does.
I have been doing some filing in Jeff's office. Most of it is the boring end of the year papers. You put - I mean I, put the appropriate documents filed with the IRS, in a binder. Once the binder gets too full, then I start a new binder. Marking the too full binder, with the dates inside (like 2017 to 2020). In 1974, I told Jeff that I would be in charge of filing paper. Okay, 45 years later, I regret offering to take this job on. Present day, we're talking about a lot of paper. And, because the filing, particularly if you don't do it for a long period of time, becomes a really big job. That's where I am at the moment.
Signing off now. Chores await.

I can no longer wear my wedding ring (it's too big), and it's such a beautiful ring that I miss wearing it. No sense getting it sized, at least not yet. Instead, I have put two rings from Amazon, that were super cheap, but are a pretty good fit for me, for now.
I regress. On Saturday, Jeff and I, and of course Bella, went to do the weekly shop. Please me proud of me - I walked through both stores. Mind you, by the time we were done, my left hip was reminding me of why I don't walk for pleasure, because frankly, it hurts - every time.
My trainer asks me at every session, if my hip is "talking" to me. My answer, is always the same, you bet it does.
I have been doing some filing in Jeff's office. Most of it is the boring end of the year papers. You put - I mean I, put the appropriate documents filed with the IRS, in a binder. Once the binder gets too full, then I start a new binder. Marking the too full binder, with the dates inside (like 2017 to 2020). In 1974, I told Jeff that I would be in charge of filing paper. Okay, 45 years later, I regret offering to take this job on. Present day, we're talking about a lot of paper. And, because the filing, particularly if you don't do it for a long period of time, becomes a really big job. That's where I am at the moment.
Signing off now. Chores await.
