Avenue Q


Last night Mari, Louisa, and I went to Mason City to see Avenue Q. What a hoot! Avenue Q is an adult spoof of Sesame Street. I've never laughed so hard. Thank you Louisa!

Today, Ken should be singing one of the first songs from the show, "My Life Sucks." He's had a hell of a winter and now spring. He knew that he had a hernia, but up until recently, it hasn't given him too much trouble, but then today, it slipped into the nether regions. This means that he has to have another surgery and at least a week's stay in the hospital again. The concern of course is that he's already had one blood clot appear in his lungs, so he has to be carefully monitored and medicated. At least this time, he's ambulatory and the weather isn't so nasty.

In addition to the hospital run, I went to Spencer. I wanted to buy fencing for my yard, but because of the medical situation, Ken wasn't there to help me measure and I decided I'd just shop around without actually buying. It's a good thing I didn't buy. My guesstimate of the area I plan on fencing was 120 feet X 60 feet. I'll be honest, I can't eyeball an inch from a foot. I came home and did a rough measurement this evening. It's approximately 27 feet X 21 feet!!! At least now, I won't have a heart attack when I get the bill. I went through that today when I heard the estimation.

Oh, by the way, I dropped those Spring Break pounds and I've lost an additional 2 pounds. So, I've now lost 62 pounds.

  1. Way to get back on track. You are getting me re-motivated. You are lucky that you only have to worry about feeding yourself.

  2. It's definitely easier for me because I live alone...if you don't count the two beasts. Actually, I think one of the reasons I went off the diet last time is because Ken and I were dating and eating together a lot. Now, because we've been together for so long, I don't have a problem eating a different meal than what he eats, and he now buys light meals that we can both eat. I know it would be nearly impossible to keep to a plan if I had a family to feed.
