The Diet Starts....

...Sunday, after Derek takes the SAT on Saturday. It's tradition to take the poor brain-strained seniors out to eat after their four hours of torture, so there's no point in doing anything before then.

But do something, we must! For Ma is getting 'mick around the thiddle,' to quote Runny Babbit, by Shel Silverstein.

October looks promising, diet-wise, with no birthdays looming before November 7th.

I was sent a link by two different people today, so I'm thinkin' that's a sign from God to pass it along :-D

The Sarah-Cuda bow. Let's look at the tribute and see how Ma stacks up:

"Inspired by Sarah Palin, the 2008 Vice Presidential candidate and governor of Alaska, Lakota Industries Inc. is pleased to commission the Sarah-Cuda. The bow is more than just a beautiful piece of archery equipment: the Sarah-Cuda is a tribute to women everywhere who embrace the sport of archery and bow hunting (oops, that doesn't apply....). Women who face the challenges of adversity and demonstrate the courage and strength to survive in today's world (read: live in an old house with a gazillion kids and heart-impaired husband without going stark, raving mad), yet have the caring heart and tenderness of good wives (ut oh...), mothers (*shrugs*), sisters and daughters (definitely coulda been better). This is a tribute to women like Sarah Palin who bear the responsibility of family (like I said....GAZILLION) and work (a stunning 3.5 hours per week, outside the home) while strengthening the moral fiber (I take Senekot, RELIGIOUSLY) of society."

And on a related note, one of my Kiwi nephews alerted the family to this website.

Clearly, I have missed my calling.
