Thursday Thoughts

Carly Icon

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADY MAN! Last Saturday, January 21, Brady turned one year old. He's a great dog and I adore him. He'll never take Buddy's place but that's not his job. His job is to be his goofy, loveable self and to LOVE me. Which he does. Just like I love him!


GO PATS! For those who don't know, I've been Tweeting during football playoff games and have come to really enjoy watching the games (so to speak) with my Twitter friends. I'm irreverent and some say funny and no matter if you're a Giants fan (COUGH!) we'll have fun on Superbowl Sunday so FOLLOW ME!


CAFFEINE WITHDRAWAL Beginning this past Sunday I stopped drinking Diet Coke, which I was doing in restaurants, occasionally at home, and at friends' houses. It's been like being a narcoleptic. All I want to do is sleep. I'm hoping that passes soon. But it as the articles about diet soda contributing to weight gain that got me. I'm also reducing my sugar intake. Easier said than done, especially since if I'm not drinking diet coke, then I shouldn't drink/consume artificial sweeteners for the same reasons. But I am trying!


EXERCISE – YES I AM! 30 minutes on the treadmill a minimum of three days a week, trying for more. If I can do it, anyone can. Nobody hates exercise like me. Nobody hates to sweat like me. Nobody hates boredom like me. My goal is NOT weight loss. Yes I'd love that to be a side result (so far its not happening) but I'm doing it for one reason – GET THAT BLOOD FLOWING IN MY BODY. I had a wakeup call when a chiropractor said to me, get your blood flowing and it'll help everything that hurts. And I thought of my dad and his problems, I thought of my genetics, and I said, I MUST DO THIS or else. And I am. When you don't have a goal that you aren't obtaining (like weight loss) it's a huge help – I do it, keep reminding myself why when I want to quit, and feel proud after that yes I accomplished my goal. First time in my entire life.


THE HEARTBREAKER – Ever since THE BACHELOR went on sale for $1.99 eBook, people have been downloading/rereading the series. And they're looking for THE HEARTBREAKER in eBook form. NOOK readers have had no problem but KINDLE readers couldn't find the third in the series. Well guess what? THE HEARTBREAKER is available for Kindle now! The last two books, THE PLAYBOY and THE HEARTBREAKER are full publisher price, but THE BACHELOR is still $1.99!! Here is my CHANDLER BROTHER book page – click on each book individually for the separate links for each book's eBook!


ADVANCED APOLOGY – Ever since our Blackout Week (due to hackers) we've all promised to make a greater effort to post during the day here in comments, even if we're busy. It's been hard this week with my daughter's midterm schedule, doctors in between, I started physical therapy on my upper neck/back, and life in general. And today I'm leaving for a few days, so you may not hear from me till tonight or tomorrow. I haven't forgotten you and I'll be around as soon as I'm able!


So I've left you with plenty of topics to grab onto and discuss until I get back. Pick one!

Tricia Douglas Happy Birthday to Brady. What kind of dog is he? I'm more of a cat person - have never had a dog. My cats are very cuddly and are supporting me since I'm laid up in bed due to a fall. Wish I could use this as a permanent excuse, but I'll be up and around this next week. Cleo, Cassie, and Bo will have to find some other reason to nap on the bed.
