no chubby hubby for me today

Jul 19, 2020

Today is National Ice Cream Day — and my favorite flavor, “Chubby Hubby,” is off limits because I’m fat. I’ve put a point to everything that’s passed my lips this entire week — and walked on the treadmill a couple times a day — and I’ve still got 10 pounds to go.

Weight Watchers places outrageous points on ice-cream — so much so that it’s simply not worth it. Even considering how much I’d love to sink a spoon in the yummy salty/sweet stuff. Y’all have no idea how much I love Chubby Hubby. And Chunky Monkey. It’s no surprise that “fat words” are in both my favorites.

Speaking of favorites… I want to explain why there are more photos here of Merida than of Dharma. It’s certainly not because Merida is the favorite… it’s because Dharma does NOT like to have her photo taken. Dharma is one dog that refuses to look at me the second I pick up my phone or a camera.

I get a lot of photos that look like this…

Dharma closes her eyes

Dharma turns her head from camera

But occasionally, when I’m REALLY lucky, I get one of the two of them that’s not half bad.

Like this one…

TIL (today I learned): Some cat breeds have a big flap of fat and skin that hangs down from their belly even when they’re not fat. It’s called a primordial pouch. Want to know what’s it there for? Read the article…
