I am interested to see how Tiger Woods preforms, but it’s funny what get’s my attention when semi-watching something like this.

I want to know who is in charge of John Daly’s wardrobe?

And what possible statement is he trying to make. Really, Bright orange shirt with red and white diamond checked pants. Silliest looking thing I have seen on a golf course.

What  a legacy those three left behind. Not sure we will ever see three players on one team dominate like they did.

Emmitt was and is a class act. Remember, he was too small to play in the NFL, lol. Someone just forgot to tell him about that.

And it is 9:00 pm!

There is no way this heat is any worse than most summers in North East Texas. So it must have something to do with my age. I don’t really remember that clearly, but I must have either not been affected so much, or I just did not care when I was younger.

Either way, this is just plain miserable.

It is not so much that I did not like South Carolina or Mississippi, but it’s just I like Texas better than any other place.

I have always tried to explain that to people and for some reason it is like everyone either loves Texas, or they hate it. And I just can not understand that. Texas has everything that I would want in a place to live. And no, where I live in North East Texas it is not flat and dry. It is beautiful rolling hills with Pine trees. Much like the rest of the Southeast United States.

And yes, there are parts of Texas that are flat and dry, and believe it or not, there are people who like that climate and scenery!

Now to get out and see some more of Texas!

Yes, it seems like a real depressing subject, but, I think it something I need to do it.

However, I really do not want to clutter up this blog and take it down that road, so I have started a completely new blog.

Feel free to stop and let me know what ya think.

EDIT: I have now incorporated the above referenced Chemotherapy blog into my main blogging here. The category Chemotherapy should give you a list of all Chemotherapy related posts I have.

Yes, since the last time the Dallas Cowboys were in it.

This is awesome, the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. It has been a long, long wait for the the NOLA fans. But it is even sweeter now since the devastation of Katrina.

The Saints are obviously playing great this year, I just hope they realize how tough the Indianapolis Colts can be, especially that Peyton Manning fellow, which they should know well since he grew up in New Orleans.

Go Saints ! Who Dat Nation!

To the West it is snowing in Dallas, this could make for an interesting Christmas Holiday here.

Hopefully the Tornado’s will stay away and we can just enjoy the family and food tonight and tomorrow. It is certainly a lot different since the kids are grown up. We are going to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie tomorrow as a family.

This was the first time we went to a State Fair. For some reason my wife had eating Fair food on her list of things to do in her lifetime, so we decided this was the year for that major goal, lol.

We did enjoy ourselves, mostly watching our kids (young adults) and their friends ride the rides and just being silly. Our youngest daughter made us ride one ride with her, so we rode the Mouse Roller Coaster.

Through the evening we sampled the Philly Cheese Steak, Sausage and yes, like everyone told us we had to have a Funnel Cake!

We could actually walk a couple miles today without having to wait for the sun to go down, lol.

Of course it will probably be back in the 90′s by the end of the week, but we will take what we can get, when we can get it.

I was raised a Cowboy fan, and I despised Jerry Jones when he fired the beloved Tom Landry, but I could not stop being a Cowboy fan. And now long after the Jimmy Johnson era I still have to root for Dallas.

So here we are, a couple years into the Tony Romo era, and things are not going exactly the way we would like, oh yeah, we got the stadium of stadiums to play in, but if we can’t win games, who cares.

Whether I have the time and money to invest in one or not, it is just something I do. I guess I take after my father, he was always looking at old cars.

The Mustangs have always been a favorite of mine, and this list of 1968 Mustang for Sale really grabbed my attention. There is a car here for all types of Mustang fans. From a torn down project car to a totally restored 68 Shelby.

If nothing else I enjoy just looking at the range of restoration people have done to their old car.

Last night I decided to treat my husband and I to some fast food as I was in the mood for something fattening. We went to Taco Bell and both ordered a #7 which is a drink, taco, and quesadilla. The total bill was $10.50. We got home and were concerned because the bag was small and light. The order was there. The taco was as usual. But the quesadilla which was supposed to be chicken had mostly cheese and possibly chicken on it. It was so flat and small that it didn’t even make a meal. I ended up making sandwiches after we had our Taco Bell snack.

Now I know it’s difficult to get consistency at chain restaurants, but this was ridiculous. So if you want an even exchange of food for your dollar this is not the place to go. This Taco Bell is located in the Castlewoods area of Brandon and is number 18271.

In today’s economic situation we need our dollars to buy more not less. I would not suggest this location to anyone.

Not too bad, although I know the first couple weeks are the easiest to lose, I am still happy with it.

I was a little surprised I was able to maintain it especially since I had some Tamales from San Antonio, but tradition is tradition. Whenever my wife or I get a chance to go to Texas we have to bring back some Mexican Food from South Texas. 

Now let’s see if I can keep this program going!

I need to lose weight. Over the years I have continues to gain weight and use my medical problems as an excuse, well no more. I have started and stopped losing weight on several occasions, but this time I WILL succeed.

I have decided to lose 30lbs and do it with a very simple diet plan that has worked before. I am cutting back on calories and increasing calorie burning activities. That is it, the whole deep dark secret diet program.

And if I can get back down to a 32″ waist I will be thrilled.

Wish me Luck !
