New Blog

I haven't posted on this blog for a while. In fact I've created a new one called Making 50 Fabulous. Please check it out. I'm posting daily. Hope you like it and feel free to follow and leave your blog info so I can check yours out, too. Be fabulous!!!

You got your Bile Beans in my Obesity Soap!...

Weight Watchers sponsored a panel discussion on health and weight loss last month at the Library of Congress. Featured were some pretty awesome vintage posters. There's an article about this on the NPR blog.

Obviously weight loss concerns and oddball diet solutions are nothing new. I just love these posters shown on the blog.

And if none of these tickles your fancy, how about some nice tape worms? I found this ad here.

Wow! Easy to swallow and no ill effects.

Exercise and healthy eating are sounding better and better.

Joanie Coyote and Stuff

I started a new blog that has more to do with comedy and getting back into stand-up. I have a feeling this one's going to be a lot easier to keep up with since it's on my mind much of the day. Check it out here and let me know what you think.

The Dress-Yes, THAT dress!

The Wedding Dress. Not mine! My best friend's. Remember this post ? Well, I finally got some pictures. I made this from scratch basically. Used a commercial pattern to make sure I got the grain right and all that but in the end there was just a sliver of the tissue left. Wow, it was hard but turned out so beautifully.

We were finishing it up until the last moment. This is my daughter and me and the other bridesmaid, Sandi, putting on the finishing touches.

The wedding was amazing. And she's so beautiful anyway. This is how long ago it happened. Last Sunday I was at this same friend's baby shower. She's due in a few weeks. Maybe I'll put up pictures of the baby shower some time next year. Hah!
