Sarah Palin's Lure, Grad Party, and Diet Slurry

I am confused, wish I had a dollar for every time that's happened. People on Facebook keep talking politics, seen a few pretty good "discussions" about it. One thing that keeps me scratching my head is the hold Sarah Palin has? She came unprepared, unvetted, and overwhelmed by the entire process, quit her day job when she lost, and went on a public speaking tour for cash. She was picked because the E's thought Hillary's people would vote for the woman. I guess we should be glad, if Obama hadn't won the D's nomination we would have gotten Michael Steele, but hey, we got him anyway!

The wife is planning the boy's graduation party, or so she says. She ain't foolin' me, she has had this planned since he was 9! That's how she does it, plans things well in advance. She had our 25th anniversary planned by the time we went on our third date! I guess that's why her parties are so good and people are always trying to get her to do it professionally? Like everything in life, my job is to just show up look pretty. Obviously I have the harder of the two jobs.

My weight has become an issue, something has to be done. It's getting so a guy can't sky rocket over 300 pounds without it slowing him down. I was reading,and have read a lot in the past, info on a Dr Terry Wahls, who claims to have significantly cut down her disability by the way she eats. Obviously there is more than diet to both weight and MS health, but it's a good place to start. I make up a slurry of Kale, pear, grapes, orange, water, and ice. I put mine in a regular blender, gives it a nice texture, and a kale green color! Never was a breakfast person, so this drink that I drink over a period of time fills me up. Now to start eating a healthy dinner.

By all means, lower the weight. I was once pushing toward 200 (not yet 13) so no, it is not easy, but it can be done and there is no question you will feel better, MS or no. LOL I am a planner too. I can beat your wife: I began planning my funeral at 5. I interviewed Wahls for my blog, she is pretty terrific.

andy, good luck with the new diet...kale? when i was a produce mgr, the boxes of fresh kale always looked so good! i made it my habit to taste a bite of every different fruit or veg i sold, so i'd know what it was like if a customer asked me...so, i broke off a little leafy stem & tasted it...bleeeaaaahhhh!
hey, you, i have a question. my friend's daughter got a job at the white house, she's secret service...she lives in laurel...what's that like?

Libby - I grew up in Laurel, would have gone to Laurel High school in fact. It's a huge bedroom community for DC, like any of them in the surrounding areas, good and bad areas. A real mix of people, about 30 minutes from where I live now. I'm sure she looked into it and is in a good spot.
