5) Am now enrolled in new comedy class.
6) Taking acting lessons.
7) Watched son graduate high school.
8) Successfully bought one good present for father: comfy chair for Father's Day.
9) On good terms with all people. No snipping at anyone. Have kicked no dogs.
10) Improved muscle tone.
11) Tan because of tennis.
12) Forced self to get haircut. This time with scissors instead of knife and fork.
13) Applied make up at various times before going out. No screams as I enter any room.
13) Still looking for higher paying job. Still few friends.

My Jokes
I've decided to practice jokes on my "Secret" Web Site. You'd have to water board me to get me to tell you the location of the other Web Site. So for now, here are a few wee jokes for ya.
News/Joke List:
1) I don't have a first joke. Like a first pancake, I threw it away.
2) Racist thugs armed with bricks forced more than 100 Romanian Gypsies to flee from their Belfast homes into churches for safely. Romanian leaders held pub side Community Meetings to urge all parties involved to take measures to prevent more racist attacks, while Community leaders from Belfast asked what type of beer it was. (or if they could have seconds).
3) Today Rome is opening the Colosseum and other sites for night time tours. I hear they are also opening the Popes Underwear drawer, to be viewed by candlelight, evenings.
That's why the site with more jokes must be kept secret for now.
I need practice, practice...
Until then, I remain yours,

Day One
Dear Diary,
Welcome to Day Number One with me.
- Woke up, that's a good thing - I think.
- Birds singing. Many kinds, I might add.
That means nature, at least, is mixed here even
if the neighborhood is a bit middle class and white.
Accomplishments so far today:
1) Made big red "X" on today's calendar day. (April 16, 2009).
***Days left to live: 112.
OK, OK, not left "to live," exactly.
There are 112 days left until my birthday on Aug. 7, 2009, when I enter a totally new decade.
That means today shall be the start of my new diet, old excercise routine re-inacted - ever so gently - and my attempt for a new life, actually.
Well, my old life, which was great.
2) Ate raisin bran for breakfast and drank miniscule cup of limeade.
This means I didn't eat the leftover pizza for breakfast. What can I say, I'm Italian, so it was un sacrificio. This brings me ounces closer to my skinny weight of 107. That's what I weighed when I was a college half-time dancer and ran cross country. Totally unrealistic weight for me these days - but I am trying anyway.
3) Exercise: leaned slightly right. Then slightly left.
Five sad jumping jacks, supporting tired breasts. Will increase tomorrow (exercise, not breasts).
4) Made vow to be productive.
Right hand raised before mirror: I promise to accomplish things every day and to make progress daily toward getting my life back.
Okay...that's all I accomplished so far, except for writing to you, my dear Diary. I'm on a blog, have no followers, and yet will need you for all the positive feedback you can give me, all the time, and thank you very much, dear Diary.
Cheers,
The American Bridget Jones
