Sorry, there isn’t much to see here today. The summer has caught up to me. The heat wave finally broke and we are having sun and temps in the 70s with little humidity. That happened after we got 6 inches of rain on Friday. Luckily all the furniture in the basement had already been ruined by the last flood so nothing had to be discarded.
I could write about the cabbage soup diet that I started on Friday but I quit it on Sunday when I realized how gassy cabbage makes me among other things. I felt like Spaz (caution, this post is hilarious but not for the weak). After a little research I decided to do the Atkins diet. So I am in my second day of induction and so far so good. I might be a little crabby for a few days so I apologize right now if I snap at anyone, I’m talking to you Unfinished Rambler.
Fear not, I am taking the kids to the dentist today so I am sure I will have all kinds of funny things to report later in the day or tomorrow.
The cabbage soup diet scares me for the exact reason you quit doing it. I don’t think I’d be able to go anywhere for at least 2 weeks after I finished the damn thing. Good luck with Atkins. I have a couple I’m friends with that lost a combined weight over 200 lbs with weight watchers and Wii Fit. It’s amazing the transition they’ve made in the last two years.
I’ve done Atkins before and lost 30 pounds each time. The key is not to have a baby again. Since I am done with that I think it is a great time to do it. 200 lbs is amazing, that takes dedication.
Has your house aired out from the cabbage soup diet yet? I can so get the picture. Bwahahahahaha. Atkins will drop the pounds you just can’t cheat. AT. ALL.
Have a terrific day at the dentist. 🙂
My house might have aired out from the cabbage soup but I have a 17 year old son and as you know the male species never tires of the fun of farts.
Cabbage soup.
I think I shall maintain a safe distance.
A few hundred miles seems appropriate.
Write about the cabbage soup!!!
I suggest the hay and grain diet. But you need four stomachs….
I think the secret behind (no pun intended) the cabbage soup diet is that you have so much gas you’re afraid to go out and share it with others when shopping for more food! You can lose a lot of weight that way…if you – and your loved ones – can live with yourself
Less food, more exercise*. That would probably help me! Take away my carbs and I’d definitely be crabby.
*I do go to the Y twice a week, go up and down the basement steps umpteen times a day, push mow the yard, go for walks after dinner, and occasionally ride my exercise bike. I guess I need to kick it up a notch…or three.
100 degrees. 98% humidity. No sympathy.
We had that for the last 15 days before it broke. You don’t have to give me sympathy but I am reveling in the lack of humidity. It should be breaking for you soon.
Cabbage diet? Oh my, that’s brave 😉
I lost my writing mojo again. At least I know you didn’t steal it if you’re having problems too.
I can’t do cabbage, I can’t do Atkins. I’m screwed.
Yup, nothing like taking the kiddies to the dentist to lift your spirits! Can’t wait for that story 🙂
If I can put it to paper it will be a doozy. Thankfully we don’t have to go again for another 6 months.
Don’t you love it when your brain dries up?
No, not really. I want to snap out of this. Even worse, I don’t want to read other people’s posts. I feel horrible but I just don’t want to. I know once the kids go back to school this will end but that’s still three weeks away.
A lot of bloggers I know, including myself, seem to be feeling bored lately. It’s probably help if they were getting well paid for their writing, but maybe not. Sometimes life is just dull.
My brain is COMPLETELY fried. I keep hoping I’ll be back to thinking and writing normally but nevertheless family functions, parenting duties, and excessive heatwaves keep thwarting my efforts.
I’ve been reduced to posting videos. [However, at least it IS the cutest video in the world!]
Must go see cuteness. The only videos I could post are the ones my daughter makes of her Webkinz. My phone is filled with them. Trust me, no one wants to see them.
Oh my gosh! I just laughed until I cried and my stomach hurt so bad. Thank you for the link to Spaz’s story. Not many can tell a poo story quite so eloquently!
He really did hit it out of the park. I wish I could write about poo that well.
This is hysterically funny and an excellent way to end my day. It’s almost like you were sitting here in my office all day long. Your sense of humor mirrors my emotions right now…not one serious word is leaving my mouth…I bite my tongue when talking with hubby…he is throwing his glasses right now…laptop keeps losing connection and somehow it’s all my fault?
Funny guy that he is…he is just learning the computer and all of a sudden he is Mr. Expert…so, I calmly asked him to shut it down and go watch some mindless TV program. I am not all knowing like he thinks I am. Just leave me alone to my thoughts and my grumpiness. Thank God Monday is over and tomorrow is a new day.
Thanks for the smile, keep ’em coming.

Ahh..the bubble and squeak of the cabbage diet.
FYI..Atkins can do the same, stock up on Febreze 🙂
I’ll fart my way through Atkins, so far I have lost five pounds in two days! I know it is water but it is nice to see the scale make such a nice jump in the right direction. Plus, I am not hungry. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t hungry.
I’m with you on the I Got Nothing post. Exhaustion is fueling my brain drain, or rather draining it of any ideas whatsoever. I may just have to fess up to Having Nothing for tomorrow’s post.
However, I have to take you to task for dieting. Aside from being depressing, diets don’t work. Get thee to the green market for lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, which you can eat in unlimited quantities. I began my blog so people wouldn’t have to diet, so you may find some useful stuff there. You like hummus? Get a good one and eat with your favorite veg. Salsa, same thing. Cut down red meat, more seafood. Tacos are salad in a shell, with refried beans or leftover chicken.
Just got an idea for a post. Thanks. BTW, it isn’t about you.
I am so glad you got an idea for a post, at least something good is coming out of this.
There is enough gas in my house to ban those kind of diets for a lifetime.
You had nothing, but you still wrote something, and got like 30 comments for it, which is something. Out of nothing. Or something like that.
