I have some catching up to do and I plan to do that by blogging every day this week. Because if I don't, who will, right?

So let's see ....

Life is good.

My dog got in a fight and while I hated the sound of them fighting and the whole scenario, my dog-mom heart was proud that my baby girl was on top. I finally was able to end the whole foray by pulling her off by her tail.

I was nearly killed by a miniature pony yesterday. I've never inhaled so loudly in my life.

Suddenly, instant Folgers coffee in a tea bag is good to me. And black, nonetheless. This diet has done weird things to my normal eating patterns.

Speaking of diet, 30 pounds have stayed off. I'm getting ready to start the process over again and hope to lose another 30 or at least 25. I'm able to wear clothes I haven't worn in 2 years and look forward to some major shopping when I'm down another 25-30 pounds.

I want to take a road trip. Really bad. To the point that every time I pull into a gas station, I want to be somewhere else ... traveling to a known or unknown destination. I don't think I will ever be satisfied staying in one place very long. Or at least staying in that one place without exploring to some degree.

I'm really glad fall is getting here so I can wear scarves that are actually the size of a small blanket.

I have a small squishie yellow ball with a big black smilely face on it that sits on my clunky keyboard. Its name is Wilson and Wilson represents something very special to me.

Until tomorrow ...
...cheers to innovation and new ideas.
