Is anybody reading??

Oh well. I write on.
Guess I need to add some sex and violence.
HA!

  Had an interesting trip to the barn today. It took longer to get dressed than it took to feed the horses.
   My selection of waterproof hats is limited. Hubby forgot his waterproof Tilley hat at his brother's place. It's a marvelous hat that he paid $60 for many years ago in Canada. It sheds water like a seal's back. You can even register them so that if it quits working - they replace it for life. It is a good testament to buying quality stuff - if only it would find it's way home.
     I was glad to find a plastic hooded yellow rain suit in the closet - must have been a yard sale find. I skipped the pants.
Have a tee shirt on, a sweatshirt over that and this yellow jacket stretched over that. Nice and toasty. Heavy sweats on the bottom half. Usually I would add cotton long johns but it wasn't cold enough.
   Wool socks - check. Now what footwear? Normally I wear sneakers or solid Crocs but the mud will be high today after last night's rain and snow. Remembered the rubber boots on the yard tool holder on the back porch. They were a weird Christmas gift from hubby before I had horses.
 Perfect.
   Grabbed the boots and one of them had water inside. Both were covered with dried mud. Pulled out the insoles and washed them and made sure all the leaves and spider webs were out. Put the insoles in the dryer, trying not to think of the electric bill.           
   Washed the boots in the kitchen sink and dried them with a hair dryer. Put them on and my bottom half looked like I was going to war with the black boots and the pants scritched up. Finally ready. The rain had stopped for a minute so I skipped the yellow hood in favor of an blue Orvis cap I bought at a yard sale for 25 cents. It has ear flaps and a brim and is thinsulate lined.
   If would have wrecked, it would have taken paramedics 2 hours to find out there was a woman under all those clothes.
   It was worth it to hear the horses crunching their hay in the barn. I always hang around to make sure the black mare does not kill the wussy 17 hand Mighty. My gosh I can drive her away - what's with him? The old black mare freaked when she saw the yellow rain coat. Maybe she has some bad memories.

uuuurrrrrrch - Wait, this is a diet blog.
My diet has been going OK but I feel like I am eating too much. Making lots of soups that are low cal, but it feels like I should be eating less. I guess Friday's weigh-in will tell the tale.

The final show for this season's Biggest Loser was on last night. The 2 finalists men had lost more than I weigh - each. The winner was interviewed later and said he thought when he went to the ranch (some ranch!), he told someone they would do short workouts. First time he was on the treadmill was 80 minutes!

Well time to get things done. Making some gifts so better get working on them.
The day will be gone before I know it.

Eat healthy today!
