How my Mind Works & other Strange Stories

Not an Oprah fan lately and haven't watched her like I did in the past. But last night I was tired, wanted to mindlessly watch TV and with the writers' strike there is nothing on TV. So, I caught the last 40 minutes of Oprah. Featured was new book, 'Does this Clutter Make my Butt look Big' and a family with weight issues and clutter issues. Since I am on an Eat Less, Move More and Work More, Spend Less regiment, I felt this was a good topic. And since losing weight for a middle aged woman is about as fast and entertaining as watching paint dry, I thought I could maybe pick up some pointers from the show. Well, what I noticed is that the woman on the show and I had the same tall, messy, stuffed cupboard of cookbooks. So, after my walk today I decide to tackle the cookbook cupboard and purge! But I am easily sidetracked. Saw the magic bullet and whipped up one of those peach mango smoothies (105 calories and delicious). Then I decided to post on the blog while enjoying the smoothie. I think I could get a lot done in life if I could just FOCUS.
On a side note I have been blessed to have the same boss for 11+ years. Troy, God bless him, sometimes goes on and on and on about nothing. Maybe six years ago this little phrase popped into my head and now I use it with him. When he is blathering on I interrupt him and say, "Did you just say my butt looks BIG in these jeans?" He forgets what he was talking about because as all women know that is a question that scares men silly. He stumbles back and then I go on doing my work without interruptions or weird ideas from him. Smooth huh?
Anyways, I thought it was interesting that the book title and my little mind game with my boss are similiar. I better go clean that cookbook cupboard. Hopefully I won't start reading the books and making the recipes. FOCUS! Excuse ME, did you just say my butt looks BIG in these jeans?
