He hasn't opened it in 20 years. It may seem the "attic" is out of the way, but what we call the "attic" is really just a huge closet in the eaves of the third floor - the contents of which are spilling out into my office. <BR/><BR/>Oh - and you can try my diet. Office on the third floor. Kitchen on the first.

Nice to "see" you again.<BR/><BR/>Now, I'm off to visit your blog to see your new baby. Mine is snoring at my feet and the whole desk is vibrating. This goes on every night, and it's like having an old man in the corner of our bedroom every night.

Not that Lifestyle Change is any better, but there it is. I mean, it's not rocket science, right? Eat right, exercise, don't smoke, drink in moderation if at all, one piece of dark chocolate for breakfast. Ta da. Easy peasy.<BR/><BR/>Bush Babe I MISSED the mouse post, probably at the cottage. You know that is one of my greatest fears. Not of mice, per se, but slamming my bare foot into a shoe with a mouse in the toe. AIEEE!! You've given me nightmares for life just like the shower scene in Psycho, which a babysitter let me watch when I was a kid, changed forever how I take a shower.<BR/><BR/>Word ver: phichas, which sounds like a Monty Python sketch.

If I had had, for example, a candy bar, a big, nutty, chocolate candy bar in my mouth when I read this post, I would have spit it all over my laptop. You just crack me up! And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

It would make a great gag gift at Christmas and you can tell the dentist how you knew he'd love a souvenir of his old texts to hang in his office. Just a thought. Good luck with the carb thing.

An...Hi Pam<BR/>I'm with you - cutting out sugar is hard. And wheat too. Have you looked at the Paleo diet by Loren Cordain? He proposes eating more lean protein, fruit and veges, and cutting back on carbs. I've tried it, and I can tell you that the first couple of weeks are horrible. But after that I have more energy. I'll admit I struggle to stick to it (I have a love affair with almond croissants), but it works.<BR/>Jenny W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
