Well chickies, how is everyone doing today? I had a temp crown come out. The permanent one won't go in for 2 weeks, so I'm just going to stick it back in with gum. I'm kidding. I've never had a temp last all of two days, so this was a new record. My honey called today, of course he calls me everyday. I get to see him again in 66 more days, if I live that long. The hardest part is going to be when it comes time to come back home. I'm going to be in a puddle. For a fat tom-boy who never got dates, just feeling feminine is a new experience. Allowing myself to be courted is something I didn't think I would ever do. I'm finding the whole process to be fascinating. If I had known it was going to be this much fun, I might have tried it a long time ago.

Brenda31 - You hit the nail on the head with preparation being the key. If the fridge is full of good choices and the chips are gone, it's so much easier to get thru the tough spots and make good choices!

Miss Jenny - Jennifer - Welcome to the neighborhood! I started at 331 and am doing pretty good. A HUGE amount of my success is from having the support of others like the great gals on this list. I look forward to getting to know you and swapping successes, slips and challanges, like we all face.

In the interest of improving my overall health and taking better care of myself, I had my first mammogram today. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as I've been led to believe! By the way, for anyone interested, the American Cancer Society provides them free if you don't have health insurance - which I don't. Give them a call if you're in that boat.

For the moment I may be a little quiet. We're heading out on the truck tonight, back on the road for who knows how long this time. First stop, Niagara Falls, NY. Second stop, Mississippi. I'll be getting out and walking whenever we stop long enough. I did another 1.2 miles today on the treadmill, and drank enough to float a boat away (70 ounces while at the doctors alone.)

Best wishes to everyone!!
