So a couple of weeks ago my Dad told me about a diet he was trying called the
GM diet. This 7 day "cleansing" was apparently scientifically developed by General Motors in an effort to give their employees and option to shed some weight in a hurry and cleanse their minds and bodies in the process...or something. I won't even mention the fact that perhaps a little bit more focus on selling cars may have avoided a trip to Bail Out-ville. Of course you know what this is really about is saving money on health costs, with these large corporations it's ALWAYS about money, trust me i'm an expert.
Anyhoo, it's a bit of a weird little plan but i decided, having become a wee bit flabby after 6 months of beer and frozen dinners, to give it a whirl. Bottom line is that for the last 3 days i've done nothing but eat vegetables and fruit and drink water. I've also along the way relieved my body completely of the ability to make solid...well you know. Let's just say carrots don't change a heck of a lot on their "journey".
Tomorrow, Day 4, promises a succulent buffet of bananas and milk. And thats it. Banana and milk. All day. For the entire day. And i fully expect by this time tomorrow to be pooping spackle. TMI? Oh well sorry.
In other news...I made some appointments today to have a round of tests to make sure nothing has developed in the past year since ending treatment for my alleged Sarcoidosis. The sad part is that i would have done all this sooner had it not been for the fact that thanks to the wonderful (insert sarcastic tone) health insurance provided by the good folks at JCP, a CT scan and some blood work still costs a fortune even after insurance.
So there we have it. One large corporation who make you crap so you don't get sick and another who don't give a crap if you do.
By the way i didn't initially type "crap" but you never know, my mum might read this.
For some reason my 5 year old daughter always manages to come up with some memorable one-liners on Sunday mornings when we're getting ready for church this morning was no exception...

It was pretty crowded in my one bedroom abode this weekend. In addition to Ben and Emily we had Samson, the kids' one year old Schnoodle (Schnauzer/Poodle). Aside from the fact that Samson did battle with and defeated a number of Ben's Star Wars action figures and did battle with and defeated my blinds, he was otherwise perfect. Of course every time Samson needed to do what dogs do we had to up and down 3 flights of stairs.
Five years ago this evening we were getting ready to head to the hospital for a scheduled C section which would bring our second child Emily Skye Blackmore into our lives.
Was standing on line at the grocery store the other day and happened to see this in the magazine rack.
