Week one is done

So, It's been a week...the 3 day 8 lb diet is really the 3 day 3 lb diet for me...3 days of dieting and then 4 of eating ended in a 3 lb loss. Not too bad really! It was 6 lbs at the end of 3 days but after going back to eating food for 4 days 3 lbs went back on. This could work...Does not feel like a diet...I am not on a diet...Just eating the "special way" for 3 days. I am not sure what the "girls" at Pennypickle's have done with it...I will post when I find out.

Do I want to blog about the Real Estate Market....Short Sales, Foreclosures, HUD repos...NO NO NO....I am hopeful things will get better...Prices are not going up in my opinion...So if someone has cash, it is a Great Market!!!

NOT a New Year's Resolution

Ok, Here is the deal....I am fat..always have been as long as I can remember...Even when I wasn't fat I was "Pleasantly Plump". So making a New Year's Resolution or any kind of Resolution to lose weight is totally setting myself up for disappointment. And besides once you are past 60 it might be time to be resolved to who you are...which I am. But that monster scale has been inching up a little more than I like to see!

So the girls at Pennypickle's decided to go on this miracle "lose 8 pounds in 3 days" diet. Steph brought the diet in. If she loses 8 pounds we won't even be able to see her!

The trick is you diet 3 days a week and eat sensible the rest of the week.

The girls were going to start next Monday. Well if I start on Monday...that means the second day of the diet is "Taco Tuesday!" That will never work! So I started yesterday and low and behold this morning when I weighed I was 4 pounds less than yesterday morning! I'll let you know what tomorrow morning brings!

2010

What will the year 2010 bring? How did the year 2010 get here so quickley? The International Year of Astronomy ended with a Blue Moon. So many people are so glad 2009 is over. Will 2010 be better for them? I hope so!

St. Patricks Day!

We Started celebrating Early this Year

The Leprechaun was up to his old tricks turning Everything Green - Even the Toilet Water!

There was lots of fun after corned beef and cabbage!

Imagination Workshop Celebrates International Year of Astronomy 2009

"If only I could have attended Professor Pennypickle's International Year of Astronomy Night! What fun I would have had! But I am only a big fat yellow cat and I have to be satisfied with looking at this 3-d poster without glasses" sighed TJ. So sad he missed the fun.

BEAKER IS IN OUTER SPACE!

Here is some of the fun TJ missed. Did you miss it too? It is too bad that it rained. No telescopes out in the parking lot...But thanks to the tremedous help of Our Astronomer Wes Erickson we pulled it off. We could not have done it without the love of my life and lover of everything Astronomy, Gordon (our Moon-Man), Alexis our ever faithful volunteer, and Jenna and Nancy who kept my spirits up and did EVERYTHING!

Making telescopes like Galileo did 400 years ago! Making our Solar System -------------------- Simulating Craters on the Moon

We learned so much from our Astronomer Wes Erickson!

It may have been raining outside but Our Moon-Man brought the moon to us with "Virtual Moon"!

Galileo would be so proud.

So everyone remember, this is the International Year of Astronomy. "The Universe is yours to Discover" Discover it! http://www.astronomy2009.org/

Antique Roadshow

The Antique Roadshow is so much fun! We were lucky enought to get invited by my sister Liz. She is so popular in the Desert. Gets invited EVERYWHERE! And a very good Grant Writer too. Check out her website http://www.lizwritesgrants.com/ And THANK YOU to another Liz in our lives... Liz from the Imagination Workshop, Thank you for taping this so we can save it for posterity! Anyway, as Mark would say "Back to the Roadshow" We enjoyed meeting Mark Wahlburg. We did not have anything of exceptional value except the fun we had! And we did not end up on the cutting room floor. Look close as Mark Closes episode 3 from Palm Springs California!
