Why? and Why Not?
Life's two most important questions are "Why?" and "Why not?" The trick is knowing which one to ask. - Gordon Livingston

laugh, scoop, thrust
I heard their laugh
before
The sound would just scoop you
up
But then thrust you
into amnesia

Opened boxes on a porch as a light rain falls
Thought I would give this a try from this site http://www.toasted-cheese.com/webcal/webcal.cgi to try my hand at writing.
Shoot! What were they thinking? I knew I had several things coming from various orders I had placed. I am after all, the internet shopping queen. I hate shopping in stores.
"Great!" I thought, "I bet the stuff in that box is not even wrapped in plastic." "Should I just let it ruin?" I really didn't want to get wet getting it off the porch. So, like any southern woman who doesn't want to waste her money AND is curious to see what has exactly been left I opened the door. "You have got to be kidding!" I shouted (to no one but myself). "Who has put this box of peanuts on our porch?" I figured they were ruined and I didn't want them to smell up my house so I dragged the box through the rain to the garbage. The box was pretty heavy so I had to hoist it hard, trying not to hurt my new knee. I started to throw the contents of the peanut box into the garbage and realized that the garbage can was already completely full of peanuts. "What on Earth?" I yelled.

Bicycling
Just finished two miles on my recumbent bike. I know, it doesn't sound like much but considering three months ago I had my knee totally replaced, I guess I can pat myself on the back.

Catch up
Last June I posted about how I did not like Nutrisystem. I also was eventually able to get on with Jenny Craig. It is so much better tasting. While I have not been as successful as I had hoped, I still managed to lose close to 40 pounds using it. I still have four more weeks of food to get AND I have a freezer full still to use. Hopefully, this will help me go forward on my journey to get some pounds off.
I am so glad that I took some off before my knee replacement surgery. I can't imagine carrying that around on top of my new knee. Speaking of knee surgery, I am almost to my three month post surgery. Surgery was a success but I am still having to go to physical therapy. The bend in my knee is not quite where I need it to be.
So, that's it - caught up!
