| Ferns that are tired of the rain |
As you're enjoying your vacation, I thought I'd update you, perhaps daily, depending on the amount of phone calls, orders and extra doodies (I know that duties is not spelled that way) you've left me with. I hope the weather is good where you are.
It's raining today on and off -- as it was yesterday -- only today is June 1st. Mom is afraid it's going to snow on her when she's driving to Oregon tomorrow. There is a threat of snow on Mt. Hamilton above 4k feet. It's cold here. I built a fire before I left home this morning. It's June 1st! The inside of my house temp was 48 degrees when I woke up. Before falling asleep, I put that artificial fur blanket on top of all the other blankets. I have not used that blanket all winter. Hopefully while I'm at work someone will break into my house and be able to enjoy cozy, warmth of the fire as I'm sure the embers will be down to coals by the time I reach home tonight.
I'm craving celery so I bought a whole bunch and pack that to eat like a snack. It's delicious. This is kind of funny. I keep making myself slightly sick of foods by eating them to excess. By 'excess' I don't mean tons of food at any one time. I mean too much of one food and this can be over the coarse of days or weeks. It happened with ice cream which means it can easily happen with celery. It happened with watermelon. I think it's nearly happened with microwave popcorn. We shall see. My body is probably craving actual nutrition from the celery as compared with the popcorn. Maybe I'll drop some more weight.
Tom installed the new printer today. It works well but doesn't staple or 3 hole punch so my job continues to branch out creative into areas I never imagined. Life is good.
I'm sure you're at the pool bar wearing the bikini you spent months looking for online though I'm seriously not jealous.
I spent some of Sunday with Hannah. She was a joy as usual. She coiffed Bradley's hair which was in dire need of coiffing if you are an almost 6 year old stylist.
I spent part of Sunday with Joanne and Joe. We ate horses-doovers and drank wine. Joanne is a bad influence though I still love her. Maybe her bad influence is why I love her. Or maybe it's Winnie. Bella gets along with Winnie while Winnie doesn't always get along with other dogs. Bella can poop in their backyard. No one complains. In fact, I think Joanne welcomes the additional poop. When he goes outside to pick it up, I hope Joe doesn't think it was me that left that pile.
I have not seen the coyote at work but then again who wants to go out in this rain?
Someone suffered an accident on the way home from work yesterday. I nearly got caught in the traffic snarl though at the last moment, flipped my car around (nearly causing another accident) and took a different route home. Bella had to hold on for dear life because the alternate route was circuitous. This accident happened on Old San Jose Road. I couldn't find any news in the local papers though my neighbor said he thought it was a fatality as he drove by the scene. I talked to my neighbor for a long time last night when I was supposed to be walking Bella. Bella breathed in diesel fumes for a half hour and we walked back home. Fun for everyone.
Someone sent me an email and told me that my blog is on a list of Top 50 Weightloss/Maintenance blogs for a personal training website. Woo hoo! I can retire.
Good thing I'm still knitting (and enjoying it) because we need all the
Pax phoned to say they had tornado warnings. He was phoning from under his desk.
Send photos of you wearing that bikini.
Love,
Your younger sister
P.S. IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES YOUR AREA... TAKE SHELTER IN A STURDY BUILDING.
P.S.S. The only time I have questions about the Anthony Weiner thing is every time Anthony Weiner talks about it. (Plus I want to know who's idea was it to change their last name to Weiner instead of keeping it at Weinersteinhalt?) (Just sayin...)

That's an excellent letter...hope she appreciates it.
I think your weather is worse than ours which is really weird. I wish I could get sick of food but no...that'll probably never happen. Maybe you could sell double duty scowls? And finally, congratulations on the Top 50 spot! I'm going to check it out.
It's June 1st and you had to build a fire for warmth? In California??? What the freak? Damn that Al Gore and his global warming or whatever is causing you to be so cold while Texas has had insane winds for a month. And it's hot, but you know, it's Texas. Still, Al...what's the deal?
I hope your sister sends the bikini picture. You can post it for us (she doesn't know about this blog, right?). You may not be, but I am jealous that your sister can wear a bikini. Some people. So lucky?
Enjoy your celery, you famous weightloss blogger, you. :)
GOOD LORD YOU FUNNY.
all of it from the suit to the WEEEENER.
I would also like to see photos of your sister's bikini as Mr. Helen has started nagging me to buy one for our trip. Perhaps I can convince him that women my age shouldn't wear them?
The friend I reunited with over the holiday told me that this is the coldest time of the year in northern Cali and our heat and unseasonable humidity that we always seem to get in early June is the very reason why he makes his annual pilgimmage home now.
Perhaps it was your Andy Rooney photo that was the determining factor in choosing you to be in the top 50 weightloss blogs. You just never know.
Dear Janelle,
Yes, the weather is great here and I'm sitting by the pool in my bikini and having a wonderful time, but no, I am not sending you a picture! Especially if you're planning to post it on the blog.
Sorry to hear it's cold there.
Up here in Canada it's glorious!
Bwahahahahaha
Love
Big Sis
