Sarah Casey, new friend!

I can't believe that I am about to admit my total ignorance for all the world to see, but hey.....what's a girl to do? I AM in the dark most of the time about anything that has to do with the computer, or emailing, or anything else that can't be done with a Bic pen and a notebook! I am scratching and clawing my way into the 21st century with all of it's cyber-stuff and, believe me, I am leaving behind an unsightly trail of mess-ups and confusion. So, having said all that, I now move on the the 'revealing of the ignorant'! Some of you have been kind enough to leave nice comments on some of my blogs. I recognize most of you.....Melanie, Pam, Sherry, etc., but I have a great desire to find out who the new friend is that left her comments about Buffy, the granddog. Sarah Casey is her name and she sounds just like the kind of person that I like to have for a friend. Sarah, you left me a very sweet message and I would really like to correspond with you, but...........I can't find you!! Your second message told me that you would mark the email box, or some such thing as that, but.......and here is where I show my complete ignorance....
I have NO CLUE where to find such a thing. I have double clicked everything that could be clicked and a bunch of stuff that just ignored me when it WAS clicked. Nothing....not good.... not good at all. So, I'm asking for a little help from Sarah. If you read my blog again, PLEASE let me know how to contact you. I'm all about friends and you sound like you might just fit that description. And the rest of you.......don't just sit there!! If you know about this email box thingy, HELP ME!! I've fallen into a blog and I can't get up!!!

Exercise is VERY unhealthy!

They say it's never too late to start being health consious and the first two steps are learning to eat right and getting plenty of exercise. The eating right part is pretty standard around our house. We have been eating right for a good many years and it has really begun to show. All that healthy eating has spread my middle aged body out into shapes and places it should never be. After catching one too many glimpses of myself in the mirror and jumping in fright that there was a walrus in my bedroom, I figured it was time to team the 'eating right' with the 'exercise'. Now, I used to exercise religiously as a young, thin, agile woman. I could just slip right back into old habits and the end result would be .......... well, who knows? But, how hard could it be. Yeah......right!! My toe touches ended just below my knees and THAT was a stretch.
My sit-ups made me realize that my sphincter muscle was weaker that I thought and I thought it was pretty bad to begin with. And jumping jacks now danced all the figurines off their shelves. OK......so I need to change course here, just a little. I got myself a dvd, an exercise ball and 'the STEP' (as advertised on TV, or so they say). I was so excited about my new plan. I made sure that no humans were within 4 miles of me, dressed myself in my hottub shorts and shirt, popped in the dvd and proceeded to ......................................fall right off that ridiculous 'Step'. Now, you tell me how a person is supposed to watch the dvd, following the instructor who is going twice as fast as a jackrabbit AND be able to see that your feet are correctly landing on a tiny little plastic step. So, now I had a twisted hip and a sprained ankle to complete my new exercise program with. Oh, well! I'll skip to the ball. I could sit, or lay, on it. This looked like a workable plan to me. Not so simple. Balls are round! I am round! Two round things together do not make for pleasant circumstances. I fell off the ball.......more than once. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that exercising is dangerous and very unhealthy unless, of course, you are already a size 2 and primed for the olympics. (Which I most definately am NOT)
