Sorry about the lack of posting lately. 

Per my last post my daughter, K had arrived at her destination safely. K and M was married Aug 6^th. They took professional pictures but they are not back yet, but she did send me some that were taken with the digital camera. I hardly recognized her! She looked so grown up and beautiful! I absolutely loved her dress! I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. She is having a lot of fun, but I sense she is home sick and she misses her birds terribly! I can’t wait for her to come back, I miss her so much! M (her husband) will be joining her here sometime later. I know that sounds and seems odd, but it’s a long and complicated story, so I won’t get into it.

I will be super glad to have her back so the birds can go back to her house! They have been screaming A LOT during the day. I know they miss her but geesh, do they have to have their air raid sirens going off 24/7!!!!!

I also have been going over to her apartment to water and feed her 5 hermit crabs. I told her they were not coming over here!! LOL

I had my weigh in at Jenny Craig this last Saturday. I knew I was going to have huge weight gain, and I did… I gained 6.7 pounds in one week!!!!!!!!! OMG!   No no no it's not what you think!
It’s because I ran out of my water pills (Triamt/hctz 50/25 mg) about a week and a half ago. My legs hurt so badly from the excess fluid! I went to see my cardiologist yesterday, and got that all taken care of, so I have been running, running, running and RUNNING to the restroom today, which is ok by me!  

OMG this heat we have been having is unbearable! Today it was in 95° F with a heat index of 105° F  our state fair is currently going right now. I would love to go but not when it’s this hot!

Speaking of the state fair, the Jenny Craig center I go to have these flyers telling how many calories are in some of the more popular items at the fair. Here goes! 

Bloomin’ Onion – 2882 calories
Cheesecake on a stick – 655 calories
Deep fried twinkie – 420 calories
Funnel cake – 800 calories
Jumbo corn dog – 700 calories
Deep fried kind size snickers on a stick – 800 calories
Dippin’ dots candy bar crunch (1/2 cup) – 208 calories
1 Deep fried oreo – 98 calories
Nachos and cheese – 900 calories
Turkey leg – 1400 calories 

MY GOODNESS!!! What’s with the deep fried twinkies, oreos and snicker bars! I can’t even imagine how fatty and rich they would be. YUCK!

The only thing that sounds good and that I would want out of any of that is the funnel cake and the corn dog. But that isn’t going to happen, it just isn’t worth it.
