Good afternoon

I don't have pregnancy dreams but I do have dreams where we've had another baby! Nightmares at this stage of my life. And I have dreams where I am eating all sorts of crap!

Today we heard that our neighbor's son died of unknown causes last night. He was in his mid-20s I think. His younger brother is friends with my teen and I so want to call my son and hug him over the phone and tell him the news but can't because his friend doesn't know yet. The dad is going to pick him up at the state college today and tell him in person. I have a horrible vision of this getting out on facebook first. My heart goes out for that family.

Oh, Karen, I cannot even imagine... And learning something so awful on facebook would be even worse.

Chickadeee, My BIL broke his thumb many years ago. A huge knot (the size of an egg yolk) grew where the break was. It had to be surgically removed. Have you ever broken that bone?

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.........

Just checking in since I haven't in over a month! Wanted to see how my chicks are doing! Slow day at work so I actually have a chance to pop in

Was moved to a new department the end of September, so work has been pretty hectic. Learning is always good, and I like it over here, but it has been BUSY! Guess I can't complain... job security!

Anyway, just saying hi Hope you're well!

Afternoon, ladies. I stayed up until almost noon today so I just woke up around 4:30 PM. 3 of my friends actually met up w/ me for DanceFit this morning, so that was fun. I sure wish that instructor would come up w/ some new routines, though...2 new routines since January of this year. I get she's in school and all, but sheesh!!!

Ruth - I'd take any excuse to miss a funeral...they're just so sad and it keeps me sad for the rest of the day. Nope you read it right...1 cup of Splenda to 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. My way of thinking was that it was such a miniscule amount that it probably wouldn't make a difference...just wondered what you guys thought about it. Thanks!!!

Chelby - Thanks. It DID go by rather quickly, actually. Thankfully it was a pretty quiet night at work. Apparently the neighboring county got it all...they had a homicide w/ an officer involved shooting. Nothing new for them, though...the crime rate there is through the roof for a city their size. It's my hometown and I love it, but I wouldn't live there for anything NOW.

Twynn - Thanks. I think I'll try it w/ cornstarch since it's such a miniscule amount. After all, arrowroot is kind of expensive, LOL I have to admit I giggled that the dog got a safety vest FIRST and you're next on the list. Probably would be the same way at my house (well, if I didn't live in the city, LOL)

Cyndi - Hope DW is recuperating well. How much longer does she have in the hospital??? I know that we don't mind caring for those we love...but it sure does exhaust you. Hope you're getting some rest.

Nichola - Thanks!!! My mom and I have a 5K first thing tomorrow morning...it's going to be COLD...brrrrrrrrr!!! Sorry you don't get to have a relaxing weekend.

chickadeee - I'm trying to come up w/ a recipe for a cream cheese/lite cool whip pumpkin parfait...I was going to mix Neufchatel cheese, cool whip, and a little powdered sugar and then layer it w/ some pumpkin and see what I could come up with. Someone recommended crumbling a Nature's Path Pumpkin N Spice granola bar in and layering it, but w/ 10G of sugar I'm thinking I'll skip it and maybe try to find something else, LOL
