Dullsville

Still nothing new around here.  I did the soup diet last week and lost seven pounds.   (For some reason, I love the soup diet.)  I lost another pound this week, but it'll be slow going from here on out, I know.  'Tis the nature of being 51. I fear.

My favorite kitty, the black and white one, is having some dental stuff done under general anesthesia this morning.  I'm nervous about it, and anxious to hear from the vet that it's over.  He looked so tiny and terrified when I left him in his cat carrier this morning.

Dave, Hallie and I went to get our ashes imposed last night, and ate dinner at the Pho place afterward.  Upon looking at our blackened foreheads, the waiter said "Whoa, I didn't know you guys were Catholic.  You don't look Catholic."  Huh?

That's about it.  See, I TOLD you it was dull.

A new post

I know it's time for one.  But I just don't have much to say.

I will say this--I saw the most gigantic double rainbow today that I believe I've ever seen in my life.  Dave, Hallie and I went shopping over by the beach, and on our way back toward the inland foothills, we drove from bright sun into very dark and threatening skies, and right in the middle of that, a huge rainbow with another, paler version next to it!

What did we buy, you ask?  Not very much.  I got two scarves--those long skinny ones.  Hallie got a headband with a big black bow on it, some bobby pins with black flowers on them, and a necklace.  Our purchases were very cheap because they came from Forever 21.  We tried on some clothes in H&M, but didn't like anything.  Seemed like all they had today was an endless variety of cardigans and lots of blouses with short, puffy sleeves.  Dave got a skin for his i-phone.  We had lunch at a vegetarian place, The Veggie Grill, and it was (amazingly) extremely good!

That's about it.  As a parting gift, I leave you with this little ditty from my Oklahoma friend, JimmyBob.  It tickled me.
