Wish there was audio to this.
Lightning in a Cloud by a Moon
Nothing funny. Nothing even all that interesting. Except it was beautiful in person. A full moon with a thunderstorm – at a distance. The thunderstorm was about 60 miles away, but all we could see was the top and the lightning that was dancing around inside of it.
It was intriguing, but the iPhone camera at a distance doesn’t really do it justice.
Infamy
This classic YouTube video is, well, classic. Once again, it points out how fame can be temporary and infamy is permanent. Reportedly, this video became viral in 2007, appearing on many blogs and even Jimmy Kimmel. It’s from a 1993 Arizona talent show. (Trudi once lived in Douglas.)
As most viral videos, this one keeps going round and round. (And now it comes here.)
Poor Stacy Hedger. She’s since married and had children. Not sure if her husband saw this before he married her. Perhaps he’s a Star Trek fan.
But I don’t post this to ridicule Stacy. Really, I don’t. It’s a dreadfully bad video, but even worse are the comments I’ve seen about her. Yes, it’s terribly, amusingly, awful.
May the force keep you from infamy.
The deal
After a growing sense that my clothes weren’t fitting correctly – and an increasing view of myself in the mirror – I decided to challenge myself for the month of June.
I called it The Deal, as in, I’m going to make a deal with myself. The Deal was this: no desserts, no between meal eating, no extra bread (sandwiches were okay, but no roll or garlic bread with the spaghetti), and whenever I was asked to go for a walk – an evening habit with the females of the house – I had to go.
It was NOT an all-out diet, otherwise I would have limited my portions a little more.
The only time I broke the deal was one night when it really looked like it would storm at any moment and I refused to walk. (It didn’t storm.)
The hardest part of the deal was the walking. I enjoy the company and time with my girls. I just dislike the actual walking.
The Deal began on June 1st and officially ended at midnight on June 30th. The picture shows my start and end weights. I celebrated on July 1st by having French toast for breakfast, but the only other thing I’ve eaten that I wouldn’t have eaten during June was a chocolate chip cookie.
Now…time to make your own Deal.
