My latest diet tip is that it's nearly impossible to eat at night if you are busy knitting. I can't even look up from my knitting. I have to keep my head down, watching the needles (and my errors) while listening to the Real Housewives of Helltown which is actually kind of a good thing because then I don't have to see all the plastic surgery mistakes.I was walking Bella over the weekend down at the cement boat beach with my sister and her husband. The beach was lovely, almost crowded with tourists, a balmy 50 degrees. Kids were in shorts and bathing suits. When walking Bella I am often stopped so people can admire and ask about her. She is still such a
Later my sister tells me that my brother-in-law said that (paraphrasing here) it's too bad that guys don't like dogs or Jan could get a date - I guess with all that attention I get for owning and walking the dog, he thinks I could get a date. Several of the people who stopped to chat about Bella were men (coupled with women). (Thank Haysus!)
But what makes him think I want a date when I have this dog?

Ha! I was thinking the same thing - why would you want a MAN when you have such a cute dog in your life?!? Much less messy.
Not to mention that dog poo smells better.
It's nice how walking your dog brings so many people nearby out of their shell and talking to you. Dogs make it possible for strangers to interact (in real life, not just virtually!)
Cute dog, by the way.
Love that baby!! :)
You may have convinced me to take up knitting - not for the dieting part but for the not having to actually see the plastic surgery awfulness that is the Housewives!
Why does he even think you WANT a date? Even with her pain in the ass self, I'd bet Bella is still a lot easier.
I'm a chap and I think you are better off with the dog too lol. Lovely post and love the title, it is one of my favourite films.
I find that people come and chat when I am out and about with the camera although the quality of the conversation is nowhere near the same!
Dogs are more loyal too!
Si
HIGH-FIVE! on the best posting title in AGES!
LOVE the last sentence.
and it can be filled with all things PEOPLE I HAVE A ROCKING LIFE!
book?
tv?
circle of friends?
etcetcetc :)
can you tell I just finished watching the documentary Happily Ever After?
I've seen many lists of why dogs are better than men! Does your brother-in-law have a tongue like that??
"Get a date" is kind of a strange phrase. It's like "get a cold." Did your sister pass that along to you because she thought it was a weird thing for him to say? Makes you wonder if he thinks women walking dogs by themselves are not really getting some exercise with their dogs, but trolling for dates. Ugh.
I can't get past the fact that y'all have cement boats down there!
Oh, wait, that isn't what you meant?
Okay, what is a cement boat beach?? You've probably mentioned it time and again but I wasn't paying attention so just humor me and tell me what that is?
Bella looks adorable...like she's saying, "My mom is home - yay!" (Dogs are waaaay easier then men, btw.)
Yeh, my wife was trying to untangle/wind yarn last night while we watched a Japanese film with subtitles. An almost impossible feat.
I'm catching up so excuse my lateness. Knitting, that's what I need to get back to doing. I always kept my mind off snacking. If I could just get my roommate (mother) to stop snacking.
I think a cement beach must be like a cement pond, ala Beverly Hillbillies ;)
