Lots of new Twitter followers today

by

I can’t believe how many new Twitter followers I got today. I normally get about 10 to 15 new followers a day, but I think I’m up to about 40 or so today! Strange … I have no idea why I picked up so many new followers today.

Do you use Twitter? If you do and you want to follow me just click on the link in the sidebar or look up dragonden (my Twitter username). I usually follow fellow bloggers back and or people that are interested in some of the same topics that I am such as gardening, photography, blogging, dogs, humor and so on.

I don’t tend to follow people back who have zero updates in their Twitter profile or those who are trying to sell anything from web hosting to tv stands. I’m interested in real people. I’ll bet that you are too.





My skin is so dry lately

by

My skin is so dry lately. During the winter I thought it was the furnace drying out the air in our house that was making my skin dry, but now that it’s spring and it’s getting warmer and more humid outside (still not all that warm) I don’t think it’s the house or the weather that’s causing my dry skin.

Maybe it’s my thyroid. I had have my thyroid rremoved 20 years ago due to a precancerous tumor and now I have a new tumor on my remaining thyroid so maybe my thyroid isn’t functioning well and that’s what’s causing the dry skin.

I tell you, if this keeps up I’m going to have to buy stock in wrinkle cream! LOL no not really … but I do think I need to start using moisturizer a couple times a day until my skin gets better.

Do you have dry skin too?

Kirstie Alley gained all that weight back!

by

I was just reading this weeks People Magazine this morning and I was surprised to read that Kirstie Alley had regained all that weight she lost a few years ago! Ok .. maybe not that surprised, but she had been looking good so it’s a shame that she started over-eating again.

Apparently butter was her downfall. She put butter, tons of it, on everything. That poor girl, with her weight going up and down every few years you have to wonder how much it’s affecting her heart!

In the story she said she’s working on a new diet and she’s getting a trainer to help her start working out again. Maybe she should read some Patentrim reviews as that stuffs supposed to work.

Do you yoyo diet? Or have you ever lost a lot of weight only to gain it all back plus more … maybe more than once?

I need to find better magazines to read

by

It seems that every magazine that I read lately is doing their annual top 50 or top 100 most beautiful people. I hate those types of issues. I just sit and turn the pages … totally un-fascinated by the very short stories and photos.

Do you like those types of issues or do you hate them like I do?

Even worse is when they talk about celebrity diets! Fasting, cleansing and of course ones that discuss the best diet pills etc.

Maybe I need to read other types of magazines. LOL Ok well I do read other types of mags – gardening ones, Canadian ones like MaClean’s and Chatalaine and others, but I do like ones like People and Hello too and those are the ones that have some issues that I just totally hate and might as well not bother reading.

What kinds of magazines do you like to read.

I’ll be in shape for summer

by

The other day I wrote a post on my other blog about how I’ve been losing weight lately thanks to having been sick at the end of April. That’s one thing about Crohn’s … when it’s acting up you can lose a lot of weight – often weight you don’t need to lose – quite quickly!

I certainly won’t be needing any weight loss pills to get in bathing suit shape by summer!

I’m actually starting to worry that I might lose too much weight if this doesn’t stop or slow down soon!

What’s worse, I feel awful. I had to stop one of the Crohn’s meds that I just started taking in April, last week because I have to have a biopsy on a thyroid tumor on Thursday. The medication I was taking can thin your blood so I had to stop taking anything that might slow clotting and thin the blood. So I’m in pain!

Hopefully when I can restart my meds at the end of the week they’ll kick in and make this Crohn’s flare go away! That will stop the rapid weight lose and of course all the abdominal pain that I’ve been having. I hope!

God, I hate being sick, I really do!
