Dr. Oz?


I caught Dr. Oz on tv this afternoon for the first time. I have heard his name but wasn't really familiar with his show. Today was ironing day so I set up in front of the television with my spray starch in hand. The three discussion topics today were: sex, fibroids, germs.

First let me mention that I think Dr. Oz is a little too happy. I could imagine him thinking "wow, it's so cool that I have my own show" all the while he's on the stage.

Topic 1: Sex - you and your spouse need to create a "foreplay map" sorry I didn't catch this segment so I can only imagine. *Write a script? * Draw body outlines and do a little connect the dots? Not sure.

Topic 2: Fibroids - Don't jump hastily into hysterectomy but try a diet change first. Tofu and seaweed could replace surgery. Hmmm.

Topic 3: Germs - The germs you carry around on your purse could be making you sick! They actually tested several women's purse contents as well as the outside surface. The germs they found were pretty disgusting and probably something we are all toting around with us daily. * Have you ever put your purse down on the floor of a public toilet? Of course you always try to find a hook or a friend but how about that one time....? * Ever kept a makeup sponge past it's prime, yep, we all have. * A cell phone was tested and found to have bacteria from feces on it (could cause menengitis) this belonged to an elementary teacher. Maybe we should burn the bags!

Last segment of the day Dr. Oz introduced "Stef" a dance instructor. Stef was very limber and enthusiastic and male. The bit was that Stef would demonstrate 4 simple dance moves that would get you in shape. Well, I don't think I would describe these moves as simple, they were complicated and full of pelvic manuevers. Stef was very good with the kicks as well as the pelvic stuff. Dr. Oz though very willing and still happy was not so impressive. You remember the movie title White Men Can't Jump? There you go.

Retro - My Life







Nowadays it seems that nearly every company has a casual dress code which is very convenient. Well, my hubs isn't one of those lucky ones, he wears shirt and tie to work everyday. For years now we have been taking a weekly armload of clothes to our dry cleaner as he likes his shirts crisp and we both hate ironing, this works all around. Two weeks ago when I did the dry cleaning pick up, I had to fork over $25.00! I realized this was an area that needed to be cut, not willingly mind you, but necessary. Ugh!


Last week I picked up a can of spray starch and did my laundry. I set up my ironing board and my new iron (woo hoo!) in the family room in front of the tv. My days are fun filled, little pockets of heaven. As I stood there cursing under my breath I had this sudden urge to watch As The World Turns! Is that still on tv? I had this vision of my mother ironing in the living room watching her "stories" with a sprinkle bottle on the ironing board. Who remembers sprinkle bottles? I'm really showing my age I fear. Anyway, for now, this is a piece of my life. I have reverted to the 1960's.






And yes, that's how I dress ever day at home! No stretch yoga pants and t-shirts on this woman, ha!
