Once Again, the Idiot Way

Yes, it's true...Ma is back on the Idiot-Proof diet. I'm into day 4 of the 11-day stint and things are lookin' good.

After three full days I've lost 2.5 pounds, but that's not all...

When I stepped on the scale for day 1, it read down 3-4 pounds from the previous week!

So I must have hit the diet cycle just at the right time, to coincide with hot, heavy work which will hasten things along.

Speaking of sweating buckets, today is basically the most heatful and humid of the year, which means....TIME TO MOW THE LAWN!

When I started yesterday it was bad enough, but today should be brutal. Just the thing to melt off an extra pound.

(that's the language they use in those women's magazines with the weight-loss articles..."...and that's how Francine melted away the 108 pounds!")

Anywho, it seems like a good time to give it a go so I done gone ahead.

In other news, my junior delegates, Derek and Melinda, are heading off to the State Republican Convention in Des Moines, this afternoon. The wonderful Severs, who are providing the ride, need to be down there on Friday night for an activity, so my budding anarchists are hitching a ride.

Also going will be Kendra, as an observer.

Should be much hilarity and good times with that crew together, whoo boy!

I baked some oatmeal applesauce muffins as my contribution to tomorrow's breakfast, which I hafta say, if you're gonna bake you should definitely pick the hottest day of the year.

My, my...time for my breakfast break of ham and pineapple. YUM! Admit it...you're jealous 'cause you don't have to go on a diet every so often, like me.

Well, if you are going to be one of those people who always does the right thing and never so much as sniffs a chocolate chip, then you had better be willing to pay the price. In this case, nobody's getting any of my ham.

At any rate, think of me today, mowing in the ferocious humidity and sweating like there's no tomorrow....
