Pinterest Makes Me LOL

When I am down (and that happens quite a bit), I sometimes like to go over and cruise through the giggles at Pinterest. There's always something there to make me smile or seriously laugh out loud. My problems don't disappear but, for five or ten minutes, I can think about something other than my health, loneliness, medical bills, and other bills. In other words, I get a little break from "adulting".

Just in case any of you are feeling less than joyous right now, I thought I'd share the latest giggle-pins.

I love these and when I share them, I tell folks to tag their best friend:

Then there are those days when I just cannot deal with life...

One of my nieces was having this kind of week at work. I'd love to have a job to complain about again.

Doing my IF diet works but it ain't always easy, but I bet I burned some calories laughing at these...

And then, there are all the other giggles that helped me get through a bad half an hour...

Hope you smiled for a few minutes.

Because I'm Now A Keto Babe

I've switched my life over to a low-carb/high-fat eating regimen. It's called the keto (ketogenic) diet. I'm losing weight and feeling better, but it's hard to explain the regimen to people. Humor always helps, so....



Sugar, processed food, and grains are out!



I only craved certain things & the craving lasted about 12 days. Mostly, I was mourning my Almond Joy coffee creamer.



Giving up bread wasn't that hard for me. For people who really, really miss breads, there are low-carb alternatives to loaf bread and mix products like Bisquick.

I initially did an "egg fast" (all eggs all the time with a little mayo and butter) for four days. Lost so much weight, I decided to go whole keto!

 I used to do this:











Now, I do this:


And I get to eat a lot of "Fat Bombs". Cream cheese and chocolate and lemon and .... all kinds of fat bombs

 



And I quit my Almond Joy sugar-laden coffee creamer for Bullet Proof Coffee:




I add whole heavy cream to mine for more flavor and heavier frothing. And I make mine strong so I get a lasting fix.



By the way, if you are curious at all about the Keto diet, there is a Keto Summit starting on Sept 25 and running thru Oct 5th. Check it out. If you want a quick rundown, check out Pinterest for Keto info.

I Seriously LOL *ALL* the Time

Maybe I am too much of a child, but that's got to be better than the alternative. Of course, kid-at-heart that I am, I will laugh like a child when I think something's funny. And by laugh like a child, I don't mean a sweet, soft, adorable giggle. When I laugh, I can sometimes embarrass myself. It's the one not-so-ladylike thing about me. (Said I.)

The good thing about laughter is, it makes you forget to be embarrassed. Or sad, or mad or caught up in the negative. When I'm having a good laugh, I don't think about being sick or broke or single or really pissed off that chocolate has calories. The other good thing about laughter is, there's plenty to go around.

Earlier tonight, I spent years on my personal crack habit called Pinterest. Now my stomach hurts too much from laughing for me to post much. So, here, have a few giggles.

Tis the season for wishes not reason

I want this on a t-shirt

So me! It's now on my blog sidebar-------->>>>

Then I laugh. Loudly.

It was 11 below last night. Check your car.

Ladies, you know this is funny.

Guys, you know this is funny.

Watch out now!

It's pure addiction, I tell you...

Go ahead and keep laughing, it keeps the blues a

way. 

And if anyone hates that you've found a  reason to smile, just remember this:

Peace (and joy)

If You're Too Busy (Cool or Male) to "Pin"

And, for the guys: no, I'm not talking about sex.

For a mood-lifter that doesn't involve chocolate or drugs (wait, is chocolate a drug?) I sometimes turn to Pinterest. To share the smiles with those non-Pinners, here are just a few morning smiles (mostly courtesy also of somecards.com:

warm goodies

cynical but funny, but (sometimes true)

and maybe a little liquor?

insert evil laugh here

life lesson???

when haters are hating
