My Bad

[Guest guest]

Okay, this whole week has been a diet disaster. Last Sunday I got mad at Dad

for hauling all that stuff out of the shed so I HAD to do something with it

instead of what I was planning to do and I didn't eat good. Then I didn't

eat good the next day, or the day after that and so on and so on. No major

" eat a whole pint of Cherry " or " scarf down a whole bag of Doritos " ,

but not enough green stuff and large portions. And dessert.

Yesterday I babysat some and then finished cleaning up the old sewing machine

so I could move it into the house. This morning I got up at 6am to make the

cake for a sweet boy's third birthday party. They were expecting 30 people,

so we decided on one 11x14 chocolate sheet cake and a dinosaur cake made from

two yellow 8 inch rounds. I used four pounds of confectioner's sugar just to

make the frosting. The party was held outdoors at a picnic area and we all

froze our butts off. It was so cold that I burned my finger on one of the

barbecue grills and it didn't get warm enough to blister until I got in the

car two hours later to drive home and turned on the heater. I had a piece of

cake.

But I'm going to be good for the rest of the month, starting now.

I hope.

Still have a dozen things to get done, but I've got such a headache that I

have no inclination to do them. I'll put the bedspread in the washer (Zep

decided it was hairball time about three this morning) and fix Dad something

for dinner. Maybe by then the Advil will have kicked in and I'll be

completely thawed out.
