What's on your Monday Menu?

Good morning all and and it looks like someone has a case of the Mondays.

It was a good weekend but too fast as always. I got my car's repairs wrapped up Friday. It really was a great relief to get those issues taken care of.

QOTD - I'm fortunate that I don't normally get the hiccups. When I was a kid, I used to do all the old wives' tales to try to cure hiccups... Someone scaring you, drinking water upside down, spoonful of sugar, Holding your breath and swallowing...

Accountability: Eating well but I did snack Saturday night late night. I still stayed within my calorie goal so I'm not dwelling on it.

B: Breakfast out with a group of friends. We're going to our regular haunt and they make a mean French omelet. I order fruit instead of potatoes and give someone my toast.

L: PP shake

D: Salad with chicken.

Birds enjoy toast. And beignets. Guess how I know.

Good morning, everybody!

A couple of weeks ago we were on the couch watching murders. The murder channel is owned by Discovery, so we get the TLC commercials also. Usually, no big deal just the guy with no neck and the rest of that goofy crew.

But this time we got a MILF Manor ad.

Marilyn: "Does MILF stand for Mother In law?"

I knew right away that this wasn't going to be good.

Me: "Uhmm no, actually it stands for Mother I'd Like to #@*&"

Marilyn: "whhhhhhhaaaaat!!!!!??????"

Me: " I think everybody knows that term"

Marilyn: "No, it's only you that knows it, what have you been watching?"

Me: "Honey, everyone in America knows - ask your tennis friends"

Marilyn: "No, only you know what it means"

Me: "Do you think it would be an effective show title if only I knew what it was?"

Marilyn: "Did your California friends tell you about this?"

Me: "No, and for the record, Kelly lives in the Central California farm region, I don't think she's at the cutting edge of these matters"

So, a couple of weeks go by and we are driving to lunch yesterday and she asks me "Do you remember that word that traumatized me?"

Not again.

"I've been reading the Sirius XM emails to see if we can get a coupon and did you know that they have X-Rated stations?"

I said that I didn't (true) and that it seems like it would be fairly ineffective, given that it was, you know, radio.

"There are more abbreviations..." Well, fool me once shame on you, etc. I just said that I didn't know any of those and tried to change the subject.

I survived my weekend with the Evangelicals and managed stay out of the tub. I thought that I had a loophole because I was already Baptized, but they made it very clear that, in their book, infant baptism didn't count, and we were not off of the hook.

Today mostly lifting and Crossfit. I made some good progress on Salesforce last night. I don't think that I will ever be a power user, I' just trying to stay off of lists.

Speaking of sneakers, when we were at the mall having lunch, there was this high school girl who was wearing red Balcienga Sneakers to walk around an outdoor mall on a slushy day. They were enormous and looked like clown shoes. We had to Google when we got home. $1,290.

QOTD: Usually, I try to look up to re-orient my diaphragm, take a deep breath, and hold it.

Breakfast: Protein Bar

Lunch: Roast beef

Dinner: TBD

Have a great day, all!

I knew a guy who ran a video store years ago. He was very active in his Evangelical church. He told me that the most devout church members would come in to rent porn videos and he would let them in the back door so no one would see them there. Now there is the internet with Pornhub and very few people who don't know what MILF means.

There was at least one.

I used to work in an auto plant. That was everyday language. I would remind the young computer guys who started talking like that to remember it would not be acceptable in most offices.

infant baptism didn't count, and we were not off of the hook. Oh yeah, they do thump you with this big time.

Marilyn is cracking me up. I wonder what acronyms she learned that I have missed.

Also, I forgot about the raised arm/hand thing. I don't have good natural mobility in my shoulders, so I would have to really stretch it out before the worship music if I was going to pull that off, but they didn't have any PVC pipes to do shoulder pass - throughs.

Oh thank you Jim for the laugh!

I can't believe that Marilyn had never heard of MILF before!! Too funny on the conversation.
