For me, 2008 was the year spent on the computer and the phone. Now I have the equivalent of a 10 lb. bag of potatoes strapped to my midsection. It's as if I went to the supermarket, chose those great little red potatoes on sale, brought them home and got out the duct tape and wrapped the tape around the sack of potatoes, strapping them onto my belly and surrounding areas. Now, that is quite the load I'm lugging around, night and day. It's time to do something about this. So, I got onto the Mayo Clinic website and researched aerobic exercise, got my facts, and started a 150-day regimen of aerobics I can do in my limited living space. By the end of the first day I was quite sure I lost the weight equivalent to the plastic bag in which the potatoes come. Whew! That was intense! Now I'm on day 7, which means I have shed a spud about half the size I would put on my plate for dinner. Only 143 more days of "Sweatin' of the Oldie" and I can wave goodbye to the potatoes AND the duct tape! I am very happy that I don't have to deal with a 50 lb. sack of Russets, there's not enough duct tape in my house to handle that. Lord, help me stick to this exercise thing, and, Lord, please leave 2 nice-sized taters up top, will You?

Leave it to Karen to find the tuberose solution. Maybe we can help each other get out of our respective potato patches. Well written, indeed.
