I know, that title sounds like something straight out of my Post-Modern Literary Criticism class (oooh, I shudder just re-thinking it!). But both bits of news cheered me so much that I wanted to share them in the same post! The Wait is Over: Just when I thought I could wait no longer, I received my […]

Musings on Food and Meme-ish Fun
Sometimes, despite all good intentions, things do go awry. On Friday, I had a little luncheon date with two former classmates from nutrition school. I always look forward to these meetings, since these women (besides sharing the NAG diet philosophy) are invariably funny, witty, and generally loads of fun to be with. The meeting had […]
Lucky Comestible III (4): Lentil Pistachio Patties
[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days.

*Or, It’s a Long Road “Back” *Or, Things You Think About While Lying Flat on Your Back for Ten Days Well, I may not be completely “back” just yet, but I am at least vertical once again–if only for a couple of hours a day. YIPPEE! Talk about an ordeal. I wouldn’t wish that kind […]

At the end of the appointment, the vet pronounced her an ideal specimen of canine health. Not only that; Elsie had lost nine pounds since her previous visit. Nine pounds! […]
What To Do With The Weight When You Lose It
Here’s how I was going to start this blog entry: I simply can’t believe it–it snowed yet again yesterday. Will this accursed winter never end? The drifts on the driveway (oh, lord, another few hours of shoveling!) have already enveloped my car in a duvet of white, and little tempests are performing pirouettes in our back yard, propelled […]
Hey, Weight Up!
It’s my obstreperous streak, probably. Today, barely the second day of Holidailies–during which I’ve pledged to write in this blog with unwavering regularity–and already I’ve decided I don’t want to adhere to my self-imposed schedule of writing topics. Well, that’s not entirely true. It’s not the topic, so much, that I don’t like, as the […]
