THE IDAHO ROSES JOIN WEIGHT WATCHERS 
(Or Misery Loves Company)


























Well, Dear Readers, I got sucked in to another of my sisters demented schemes!!  Only this time it will involve much suffering and self denial........and from ME!  I don’t mind when THEY suffer and deny themselves, but to bring the Queen Mother into this is a whole new level of ridiculousness. 

It seems they have actually done this before.  “Join us!” they said.  “ It will be fun!” they said. “ You can eat anything you want.”    They lied.

A  typical daily conversation

You can eat anything you want, but it costs you POINTS....so after my first breakfast that I usually eat, I had spent most of my days points, leaving me with undressed salad and hard boiled eggs for the rest of the day!

POINTS.  I think that’s the new six letter curse word...Actually this is a lot of fun. I love to complain and this hits all their buttons.   Follows a couple of screen shots of our conversations....


And now they come up with Fitness Points!  Fitness Points??  What new fresh hell is this???
All my brain power and energy is being poured into NOT eating 327 Cheezits sprinkled on Rocky Road Ice Cream!   I am such a couch potato.......Tracy gets to muck her horses and Michelle chases grand babies around her house!!  I watch PD Live.....



Okay, an update.....it’s been 10days now since I’ve joined their nefarious doings.   And I must admit the first week went pretty well.  Down 3.5 pounds. (I know, hold your applause!).  However, I am now a danger to shoppers all over the Treasure Valley!  Armed (but not concealed!) with nothing but my cell phone, and the Weight Watchers App, I find myself blocking aisles and access to the dairy cases, whilst I SCAN EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!

Sisters being 'good' while eating 'fast food'!




Do you have any idea how many different sorts of crackers there are?  And one must carefully weigh Points vs. numbers of crackers in a serving before making that oh so important choice.......”Pardon me, Sir, you can get your Triscuits when I’m through scanning all the water crackers.”




Ah yes, the joy of paying for years of being a miscreant food wise.

Just so you know that it’s not a total loss (pun intended). In a few days the sisters have planned an overnight get together and have already declared it a Point Free Day and are gleefully making plans to fall off the bandwagon!!!

LITTLE BROKEN ANGEL

On, or about January 22, our middle sister, Michelle, took a spill, while hauling a cooler.  Not only did she get a nasty bruise on her chin, it turns out she managed to break a bone in her foot!!  The above photo is the wrapping from the emergency room.  Within a few days she went to the foot surgeon, who put her in a boot, until the swelling went down, so she could have surgery to speed the healing. Now, this is the true gist of the story, Dr. Michelle, as we like to call her, would probably change the dates, the diagnosis, and the time of treatment.......but this is MY blog, so we will go with my timeline. The big reason for any consternation on our parts, is that Tracy and Michelle  have a date with Rick Steves! in Italy!  For three weeks!  And Michelle is on crutches!  Granted, they aren't leaving until the end of April, but nevertheless....... Her mobility was greatly improved with the addition of one of those kneely scooter thinge...

A THORN FOR THE ROSES!

The caption for this particular blog sounds much more dire than it really is....but, after we sisters have enjoyed the sole company of each other, our firstborn brother, Tim, and his lovely wife , Debbie, finally set their GPS to Meridian and spent some time with us!  We were all so tickled to have them for a visit.  As a matter of fact, we prepared the fatted calf (pork ribs, really) and celebrated with a communal dinner.....all the Roses and their spouses, Tim and Deb, and Devon Abrego ( only invited to keep the average age of the diners under 60!). I just did the math, the average age was 47.66666! Now, this Thorn businesss....as there can be only a Three Idaho Roses, we need some kind of tie in for our brothers.  I figured a Thorn would be better than an Aphid, right??? We couldn't fit all nine of us into the picture, and besides, everyone was getting hungry! If you think the Roses are giddy, just try adding another Vedder, and a Vedder Spouse!!  W...

     It’s been a long time since We Three Sisters of Idaho posted.  I could list a myriad of excuses, COVID, life, procrastination, etc, but really, when it comes right down to it, I’m sure we all know it was most likely the baby sister’s fault. Am I right?  Just kidding, of course.      There has been a lot of life that has taken place in the last little while, some good, some not so good, some still yet to be determined.  But I think that on the Eve of the annual Sisters Christmas Cookie/Candy Bake-a-thon that it’s a great time to begin the buzz of another round of “What Are Those Crazy Sisters Doing Now?!?”     Let us know if you are ready for the next chapter of excitement as we share with you the craziness that follows these fun loving, creative, crafty, adventuring girls (ladies?  Pbbbbtttt. women? Yes, we currently identify as such… Females of a Certain Age (FOCA). Stay tuned!!
