Good Morning Foodies! I think today I will use my site to “VENT”! If there is one thing I hate getting in the mail, right now, are the catalogs that are promoting “RESORT WEAR AND SWIMSUITS”! I havent’ even taken my new boots and turtleneck sweaters out to wear yet. Oh yes, let’s not forget the workout attire also! Give me a break! I am still putting up the holiday decorations and trying not to buy more than one KING CAKE a week.   Ah yes, yesterday, I got a catalog that featured, “WARM WEATHER LEATHER!” What is the friggin deal with that!  I figured I would show them! I made a nice little fire and burned the catalogs, which helped melt my smores quiet nicely, thank you! A friend sent Pat and I this cute little article about turning “65”! It was the only thing I got in the mail that made sense. He stated that when he turned, “65”, he was lying in bed and pondering the whole retire, stay healthy and exercise angle. He listed the following examples as to why we need to look at this differently: 1-If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal. 2-A whale swims all day, eats only fish, drinks only water and is still FAT! 3-A rabbit runs and hops and lives only 15 years. 4-A tortoise doesn’t run and does nothing, yet lives for 450 years. So he said, you are telling me to exercise—I think not—I am going to live a life of a tortoise, so just go around me! So in closing, I now tell people, “I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY BUTT, I WOULD SAY MY HEART, BUT MY BUTT IS BIGGER!” Have a great weekend—enjoy the sunshine!
