Book Club

I was talked into having book club at my house last night since otherwise, I would not have been able to go. Since Justin is at rehearsals all the time. Anyway, I cleaned the house ( I am amazed at the little effort I needed to clean it since I have been cleaning it twice a week.) and I made an amazing dessert. No, I mean AMAZING!!! It is called Nutty Fudge Torte. Oh, my, it looks so good. (I am looking at it on the cake plate right now, under the dome.) I was all prepared for a great book club. I even read the book. I was not very excited about it. It was a memoir about a girl who grew up in Cambodia during the Kmer Rouge (?) reign. So depressing, right? I would much rather have read a bunch of mysteries. But I read this book and was surprised to find that I quite enjoyed it. Of course, it was sad and devestating. But the author has an amazing gift for story telling and writing. The book is called When Broken Glass Floats. Anyway, so I was ready for book club last night and only 3 girls showed up!!! And one of them wouldn't eat the dessert. So only 2 people at the dessert. And I have more than half a cake left over. It is staring me in the face. I think I can hear it calling me! Yes, yes, I hear it saying, "Jenny, come take a bite of me!" In the beautiful chocolate seductive voice that only a Nutty Fudge Torte could have. Okay, now it is singing to me. This has got to stop. I am going to have to have a peach. Okay, that was good. But it sure wasn't chocolate. I told my friends that I have not lost a pound this week. I am totally bummed. And they are all like, "Oh, you are gaining muscle, " and "Your body is retaining water, " and "Give it more time." Those are lovely sentiments, but I want to see results on that scale!!! I want to lose pounds!!! I know I am losing inches, but I am sorry, I want to be able to say that I have lost this number of pounds. And I still haven't seen the fat blobs falling off yet. I am waiting!!! I am doing sooooo well on this diet and exercise regime. Even though I hurt my leg when I was walking yesterday. I still went out today. So what is up??? I will keep on keeping on. No cake for me. Not even the chocolatey goodness of a Nutty Fudge Torte.
