November 6 2009 Diet Blog

It's Friday and it's pay day. Two of my favorite things. My son and his wife are coming tomorrow instead of tonight I just found out and so I'm a little bummed as he used to say. Work went very fast. The day was over as quickly as it began. I got my nails done afterward. It was so nice to talk to the girls. I feel as if we've gotten so close. I can see the weight falling off of my manicurist. The beads behind the ears diet is working wonders with her and for her. It didn't for the husband of my Best BFF. Clearly, it fits her lifestyle.
The salon owner and I talked heavily the time before last and I gave her an idea about a 'self help' book she dreams of writing. She likes the thought a lot. She told me tonight as we talked again. I told the manicurist about the Florida trip and my nieces medieval wedding. I had her hysterical. I promised to make them both copies of the manuscript to read. The owner wants me to do a book signing there. I think it's a great idea! She also wants a photograph for the wall. Since my son didn't come, I did that tonight except for the picture; sadly, an XBFF took them and to get copies I'm pretty sure that I need to order them through X. I need several for the PBS children's show as well. I'm not sure if I should just go elsewhere in the same clothes and get re- photographed or if I should bite the bullet and call X about placing the order. I haven't decided what to do yet. I'll keep you posted.
I also had an idea about book signings. I acted on it right away, because I believe that when ideas like this strike me from no where, it is the angels giving me Divine information and inspiration. The idea came about this way: On our trip to Florida my husband and I had coffee and a roll at a little shop that was attached to a little bookstore. My mind began racing through memories of seeing those same little bookstores in other airports, train stations, bus stations, Port Authority and Penn Station and the like. I wrote to Borders bookstore Corporation Headquarters and to Barnes and Nobel- B. Dalton Books Corporate headquarters and suggested that they have book signings done in those locales. It is NOT being done and the possibilities are endless, not to mention that it could be a very lucrative endeavor for all of us because of the volume of people traffic and the value of those same travelers carrying my books to other locations. I suggested that I'd love to do the gamut! I hope that hey take me up on it.
This morning I had oatmeal, snack was 6 little rice cakes, lunch was left over chicken breast and rice, 3pm snack was several weight watchers pretzels shared with my coworker and dinner was eggs sunny side up with a wheat Thomas' English muffin and about a table spoon of Lite margarine.
I went to bed feeling kind of down for some reason. (I'm writing this Saturday morning.) My husband is also down in the dumps for some reason. Maybe it's the change in time and weather... Remember, you look as good as you can for today. Tomorrow you will look that much better. Do not let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having fun. Stay positive. See you next Blog! ;-)
