I lost 5lbs over Christmas...ahhh the one sweet effect of Divorce hell.
That said, most i know are complaining about their Christmas fat so I thought i'd share a giggle my mama sent along.
enjoy it ladies and remember.... eat a cookie AFTER the uphill walk and you'll get all you need and want!
read on....


T'was the month after Christmas,
and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled,
the chocolate I'd taste
At the holiday parties
had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales
there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber),

I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a winter, disguised as a man!"

So, away with the last of the sour cream dip.
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.

1000 Is. Music Festival ? August ?09

Carolyna: ?Eric (Alper), I want tickets?.

Eric: ?I can give you a pair, Carolyna?.

Carolyna": Excellent, I?ll set up an interview with The Warped 45?s and a a few other bands and would love an interview with you?.

Eric: ?I?ll arrange All-Access media passes for you +2 ? and i look forward to it?.

? and that is how this fabulously entertaining weekend started.

Now, I?ve never been a fan of most of the acts performing on the main stage, but then I?d never seen them live, and THAT is always where the standard is set and the fandom begins, for me. I?ll return to the best performance, Snoop, soon?. but first to one of my new favourites from the Toronto/Waterloo areas.

I bought an EP from the Warped 45?s tent at the Burlington Music Festival where they were opening for Tom Cochrane. I immediately heard what i love to hear? a band that sounds as though they recorded live-off-the-floor with the core of a unit ? a tight unit ? then only added what made it sweeter. Man is this a good listen.

My first favourite was, Why Have You Passed Me By Grim Reaper. I am always enamoured with an act that makes old-time, gospel-blues sound new again. Fresh. LOVED it!

The Warped 45?s

Then slowly creeping up was the track on the album, that i, humbly, consider to be the world class track of their newest work, Radio Sky. This track is the one that the whole world can hear and enjoy and nothing too heavy or harsh of too soft or smarmy is here.

The best of musicianship on the album is found on this track and it stands out from the rest to me because it feels good always. No matter what mood i was in the entire month long THIS track was always great!

Dave McEathron and Ryan Wayne McEathron

Now that i have heard the pre-release there are a few other standouts. The album is HOT! The New Depression is a very Memories Of The ?HIP piece, but really great lyrics found here.

Now to their LIVE show at the festival. The boys of The Warped 45?s, Alex, Dave, Ryan, Kevin, Hamal, and JP, are players. Fun, dynamic, tight, songwriters and players that move with their music and move their audience.

It was a small but grateful crowd in attendance. We watched for the better part of 45 minutes while they played their album with a sound remnant of the cd - enough to make me very pleased to have been there.

The 45?s were great backstage as they interviewed for the Vanhattan Project Podcast. I was very disappointed to have burned a hard drive right in the middle of editing their interview, pre-back-up.

*** Watch here as I?ll get an interview at The Warped 45?s show at This Aint Hollywood, in Hamilton, on September 24th, and post it afterward ***

The Photos remain and can give you an idea of the beauty of the festival with these boys in it!
