Well, April 15 has passed, and now I assume you're actually working
for yourself at
this point. Let's hope so!
How did tax day
go? Did you enjoy some comfort food without
busting your
waistline? I got some great feedback from folks who
enjoyed my "1040
Tips", so I'll have to remember to make it an
annual event.
=====
Guess what the
temperature was last night? Barely 40, and pouring rain.
Guess what it'll
be this coming Saturday? 85 degrees!!! Can you
believe
it? I am so happy. The flip-flops may be out to
stay.

I saw a clever
article in a catalog that was titled "27 Reasons NOT To
Buy..." (insert
product here).
Well, I thought
I'd riff on that a bit and do my own article entitled "10
Reasons NOT To
Read 'Real People Don't Die t' ". Here goes:
1) You
absolutely love die ting. Love, love, LOVE it!
2)
You're successful every time you die t. That is, until your
wei ght
creeps back up,
and you have to start die ting again...
3) You
think frozen die t dinners are fabulous! You want to eat them
for
the rest of your
life!
4) You
don't like snacks or desserts--and are pretty confident you never
will.
5) You
honestly believe Twinkies should be the fifth food group.
6) You
think feeling great about yourself isn't really all it's cracked up to
be
and would much
rather feel guilty all the time.
7)
You'll never eat out, so it really doesn't apply to you.
8)
You'll never go on vacation, so it really doesn't apply to you.
9)
You'll never celebrate another holiday, so it really doesn't apply to
you.
10)
You're NOT a Real Person!
Okay, there you
have it. I tried to be funny. Hope it worked.

Spring cleaning
time? Yikes. I can't say I enjoy it, but it sure
feels good to knock down those cobwebs, open some windows and
clean the corners.
If you're
tackling cleaning for a day, don't forget to eat regular meals
loaded with protein and fiber. It'll give you the
energy and endurance you need.
Extra carbs and
sugar will just slow you down after an initial rush. Avoid
those sugary drinks, too!
Once you're done
with your to-do list, THEN you can sit down in your nice,
clean home and
enjoy a treat.
Happy spring!

That's it for
now...another dance competition this coming weekend and, of
course, multiple
baseball games. But now I can bring sunscreen!
Have a great
week!
