Well my dieting not going too well. I need to start at least by Thursday and really want to lose at least forty pounds. My bird Koko is driving me nuts. I try to change the water on his perch and when I try to screw the cup back on he tries to bite me. He is going through puberty, can you believe it? A bird going through puberty. I have heard it all (ha ha ha). Anyway I made cheesecake bars for the book club tonight. They smell really good, I hope that they taste good too. Philip learned about the Lincoln Highway today, and read from "To Kill a Mocking Bird." Oh well gotta go, am reading another Ann Rule book. Oh by the way also looking into applying for an online college course to get associates in psychology. I really want to work with kids.
