my rational first christmas


Happy SnakeMas! 






Egg City. 


From beyond the grave? 
Lol. Wrong number. 




My old apartment. 
I miss it. 
I wish rent didn’t go up every year. 
But it does. 
Dallas’ real estate market was the 
last of the reasonable prices. 
One day you could buy a cute little 
1950’s wood frame house for $50K. 
The next thing you know, 
the same house is $150K
But now the house is 70 years old. 
And almost decrepit. 
Ahhh,  progress! 
Texas is the next California. 

So I woke up and looked around 
And it was like I had never seen 
my own surroundings before. 
I was like “Yuk!”
This has to change. 
Like yesterday. 
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this day.

the ugh stops here

My new BFF

So many cultures make yogurt. 
(See what I did there?)
It’s so simple and easy. 

Boil the milk and let it cool. 
Probably around 100 F. 
Feels like a kid with a fever. 

Add a culture or starter. 
Maybe new; maybe from the last batch. 

Cover for a few hours - 
and you’re done. 

Now I’m ready to make mine 
From the Wheat Belly blog. 

I had the chance to gift Pete 
And his wonderful wife 
With House Seats to Phantom. 

They even got a backstage tour. 

Beautiful full moon. 
Just in time for Christmas Eve. 

Spending a week without my scales 
Is not a happy place for me. 
I gain weight faster than anyone I know. 
I can also lose weight faster than anyone. 
It’s like having a movie star body. 
It responds super quick to my every demand. 

So I gained 3 pounds by doing an experiment. 
Delay - Don’t Deny. 
Still OMAD. 
But basically anything you want. 
Well. Once again. 
I am not one to have “anything I want.” 
The limits of my “movie star body”
End here. 
I still have to stay Low Carb
Because the minute I don’t, 
All kinds of bad things happen. 
Plus wheat. 
Wheat is not my friend.
