Hey all! Once again, here I am to address my countless followers. I haven't been doing much of interest lately. I have been getting some knitting done. I'm working on a bath set for my cousin for her wedding-- (well, I guess cousin & fiance'; if he doesn't want to use these beautiful hand-made gifts, he doesn't have to)-- facial cloths and bath mitts.


My husband told me that he would never use something like a bath mitt, but some things are just so much cuter in pairs. Agree? For example, hundred dollar bills. Dunno, just the first thing that came to my mind.
Actually, food is the first thing that comes to my mind. This is the 22nd day of my clear liquid fast, and I am friggin' starving!!! Well, I guess that I'm not as much hungry, as I am obsessed with the taste of certain foods. And I don't feel this way constantly--thank god--but I'm really feelin' it right now. It would be tons easier if I would just quit watching tv. Do you have any idea of the percentage of commercials that are for, or contain food? I haven't done a scientific study, but I'm thinkin' at least 75%. Red Lobster, for example, has a new Main Lobster tail and shrimp dinner Special. It makes my mouth water. And I can only hope that they still have it when I end my fast. I'd really rather have lobster from someplace nicer, say Chris McD's--nice restaurant in Columbia--but I don't want to bankrupt us through a week of binge eating.
SWEET, I just got a phone call from a reporter from the local (conservative, small town) newspaper, asking to do an interview. See, I sent an e-mail to the editor about a week and a half ago about my hunger strike, etc., etc., thinking that this would be something that the readers might find interesting. After a week, I had given up on the Fulton Sun caring about my issue, but woo-hoo! Now I have good strong motivation to make it through tomorrow. That's pretty much how I approach life anyway, one day at a time. (and NO, I've never been in AA) So, other than all of the innocent people dying, I have my own self-serving reasons to not eat for at least another 24 hours. The ego serves us well.
