I need a self-help group or a lobotomy

So the really good news is that I have broken the 30-lb barrier on Weight Watchers. I have officially lost 30.4 pounds!! Whoo hoo me! I have even been able to wear some of the tops that I had gotten too big for. I have also bought some new capris in a smaller size, but . . . I just can�t wear them yet. Well, I could but then I�d look like one of those scary redneck women I see in Walmart.
In not so good news, my father has still been unable to begin chemo due to the ulcer on his toe. Fortunately, he�s not in any pain, but we�re all a bit concerned about whether the cancer cells are going nuts and having a big old party. However, to offset the worry, Mom and Dad are taking another trip to Biloxi to stay at a casino and have some fun. They go so often that they get free hotel every time. And frankly, what else are they going to spend their money on? My father earned free medical care because of all his years in the Navy, and their house is paid for, so they�re quite lucky in the expenses department.
I don�t know when or if I�m going to Florida, due to the high costs of airfare. The plane ticket price that I�d normally pay is now double. On the other hand, Hubster may have to go to Belfast (the one in Ireland!) on a business trip and so I�ve already said I�m going with him. Plane fare be damned. How often are you going to get to go to Belfast, for chrissakes?? Speaking of Hubster and trips, he got back from Witchita, but they flew back (in the boss�s 4 seater plane . . . Did I mention that before? Yeah, the boss has his own plane.) through a bit of a storm and the Hubster can�t deal with that kind of turbulence very well. Well, little planes yaw as well as going up and down. Fortunately, he found the barf bag just in time. I wonder if the boss gave him merry hell about that the next day at work. I know I would have!
Speaking of merry hell (of just hell in general) I found some new album covers!
I mean, bless your hearts and all, however . . . just because you�re blind, that doesn�t mean you have to let someone style your hair like that.
Yeah, Jesus may love you, but I�m sure that even Satan hates that sportscoat.
Effie Dropbottom may be a female impersonator, but I don�t see the entertainment quotient of a bag lady impersonator. Sorry.
I keep finding more and more album covers of families and their gospel albums. I guess they were trying to fill a niche but don�t you think that the market got really saturated really fast? Add to that the fact that all these families had really bizarre last names and all looked like the kind of dweebs you unfortunately made fun of in school . . . wow. Just wow.
No musical fad is a good musical fad until the Japanese get in on it. I can�t read kanji at all, but I wonder if the band is called �Shoyou Weenie�.
If you have a bad band, might as well give it the longest name possible and have an album cover that would make saints cry, eh? Gah!
He may ring twice, but he will only sing once.
