The Heart Truth- Red Dress

Go deeper than the pink, go red. Go deeper than the breast, go to the heart.




Heart disease is the NUMBER ONE killer of women in the USA. Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, and cultivate social relationships (make friends!); these will help save your heart. I know because I have CAD, coronary artery disease.

How to eat Blue Bell ice cream


Because it is almost officially summer, and because I need to say something nice, for a change, about Texas, I have the following instructions:

How to eat Blue Bell ice cream:

1.Buy a pint of your favorite flavor (current flavor is Cake Batter, mmm)
2.Tear off a paper towel (normal size, not the almost- a- paper- towel size)
3.Fold the towel in half lengthwise
4.Wrap the towel around the pint of ice cream
5.Remove and discard the lid (you will not need the lid)
6.Find a sturdy spoon
7.Eat the ice cream, all of it (waste not, want not)

At less than 8oo calories a pint you get several servings of milk and two meals at once.

Nanna 10, Heartworms 0

Nanna just had her yearly checkup. The good news- she tested NEGATIVE for heartworms!
Several years ago she tested positive and, due to her size, the vet decided not to try a treatment on her. He suggested giving her a preventative so she wouldn't get more heartworms. However, her chances were iffy. The worms could die and pass out of her body or one could travel to her lungs and kill her. Lucky for me the former happened.
Give your dog heartworm preventatives! It's easy and worth the cost of the pills- as I well know.
Pictures tomorrow!
