Susann, we have a lot in common. I take care of my 91 year old mom and I live in a very small town that definitely does not have a Walmart. Ha, ha. And my husband is a school bus driver.

Our baby is so sweet. He looks like his dad except he has his mother's nose. They won't let us post pictures on the internet so you'll just have to take my word that he's the most gorgeous baby ever born. We're leaving tomorrow as soon as DH gets off work and we'll be gone for a week visiting with the children and grandchild. And of course we'll be making visits to DH's father who is still in hospital in the city. This is quite stressful for DH because the family may remove him from dialysis and DH will be the one to convey that message to the doctors. I wish FIL would just pass away naturally so that decision doesn't have to be made and carried out. There's a meeting with the doctor on Saturday morning so we'll see what she has to say first, of course.

OK, I can't dwell on that because we've got a baby to see and a good eating plan to stick with. I don't usually weigh mid week but since I gained 2.5 pounds last week I hopped on the scale yesterday and I had lost 3 pounds since Saturday and this morning another half pound so I've got things under control again. I would assume I won't lose much more this week but I'm so happy to get that unwanted reappeared weight gone.

It's a mild overcast day here. I'm still in my nightgown and I ran outside to put a bag of garbage in the trash can (which is by the back door) and the cover blew away across the yard. So there I was in a sleeveless, just above the knee nightie chasing the cover to the garbage can across the yard. I can tell you I was well chilled when I got inside. But I noticed that that cold sharp nip was gone out of the air.

Take care and I'll catch you all later.

Ladies.....
I was shocked by the scale<------in a good way!!!!!
I thought maybe a pound loss would be something to celebrate. I had a 3 pound 'whoosh'. I thought I was one of the 'whooshless' as I hadn't had a significant loss of over 1 pound since the first week on induction.
So it took a total of 70 days to reach onderland. But I'M HERE!!!!
I could have never made it without these boards. The information (recipes, advice, experience) and support helped me stick with it when I stalled for weeks. Thanks to all........
It's such a relief to be successful over what has seemed like (for me anyway) a long haul. It helps me to stay focused on NO CHEATING, NO ALCOHOL(until I'm no longer obese). For me carbs and alcohol lead to over eating. I can stick with this because I feel better off processed foods. More energy and less cravings.
Still have a lot to lose but I really feel like I will be successful with some more hard work and this life style change.

I've never heard of this pill before today, it probably messes up something else in your body.
Congrats Isabella on the new baby boy!
Meow...Didn't you heard the cats banging around last night? I guess they have to exercise their little legs and minds somehow.
:congrat: Fluffy....Great accomplishment! :cheer2:
Hi Lynn..........did you find a scrabble game yet. I just received my new one, "Scrabble Journey" today. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, I'll let you know if it's worth buying.
Hi Susan, it doesn't really get very cold where you live, does it?
I've never been to Kentucky but when I see picture of it, it's always green with horses running in white picket fences. We had a horse racing track in Minnesota (Minneapolis) that is now closed. We spent many hours of fun there, I'd love to dress up in a fancy hat and go to the Kentucky Derby. Ever been there?
Hi everyone else, gotta get movin'.

Hello everyone...Am finally starting to feel better. Just in time, have a bridge game that am directing tomorrow. Decided to put my company to work and already have bunch stuff made. I made chocolate cherry bars that was on the mix box. Of course I added a bit more not only added cherry pie filling but dried cherries,too, Didn't have any chocolate chips so used white ones. Will frost tomorrow when I get to the club house. But cut one tiny piece and guest says is wonnnnnnnnnnnnnderful. The ham salad, egg salad tuna salad and seafood salad are all made. Have started a multifruit cobbler...peaches with berries....in the oven getting hot before add the topping. Articoke dip and reg dip are done.veggies cut up.....gesh been easier to say what needs doing....the roll ups and make the sandwiches in the am. But I needed a little food porn....Nothing Nada nut'nhoney has crossed my lips.

Been over week since I wrote anything...read it all....Welcome Susann. Linda why did the cats go crazy? Isabella happy baby boy! Lynn yes you can do this sure you can. Bobbie I'll try that pill....

Back to the kitchen to make the roll ups...Drives Dash crazy he loves cream cheese and olives. Yes, he's still a dog.

Will weight my self this weekend after company goes and i can doa happy dance naked....it ain't pretty.......Karen3

ps it's 82 here today!

I picked up an interesting Prevention booklet about food/nutrition for people who are prediabetic or diabetic.

Stresses fiber, calcium, vitamin D, and omega 3. When I get back from FL, I might try it. The meal plans have a lot more calories than I generally eat, but, maybe with the additional fiber, it might work.

Claims to reduce blood sugar and pounds.

Lynn

Hi all, today was a very trying day. Thank goodness I got my 30 minute walk in before Mother's doctors visit. She has to have a new pacemaker, that will be done next Tuesday. We had to go for blood work, and the whole morning was hurry up and wait. By the time we were able to eat lunch, I didn't care if I did good or not. We went to a great Chinese restaurant, and I did pretty good. Tomorrow we go to her primary care dr to see if we can find out why her ankles are swelling, shortness of breath and belching. I sort of thought they might be related to her heart, but they said no.

Isabella, I feel for you girl, taking care of mother is one of the hardest jobs I've ever had, but I certainly don't resent it, I'm sure you don't either. And your hub drives a school bus, how cool is that.

Hi way2fluffy, we haven't met, but congrat's on your 3 lb swoosh!

Bobbi, I keep seeing miss kitty in heat....lololol. We normally don't get down in the teens , maybe 3 or 4 days a winter. We do have 30's a lot, and 20's some. Of course, this winter was the ice storm and it was horrible here. I am in western kentucky, the ky derby is in another part of the state. No, I haven't been, I used to think I would like to go, but now would rather watch it on tv than to fight the crowd. You can google Kentucky Lake or Barkley Lake, or Land Between the Lakes and see the area where I live.

Meow, I've tried quilting, not my thing either....lol. I do have some more chair cushions for my deck to make, need to get those done soon.

Karen, glad to hear you are feeling better, and good golly, your menu sounded great, are you a caterer?

Good luck Lynn, I already take the omega 3, the calcium with D, and a lot more, I have Crohn's Disease and the vitamins keep my immune system up and running. I've been very blessed to not have to take any medication for it. I truly believe in my vitamins.

Oh, Bobbi, I meant to tell you. If you live close to a Hancock Fabrics, or a Hobby Lobby, every couple of months they run their patterns on sale for .99 each. Usually with a limit of 5. You can go on their websites and they have their weekly sales on there. Then you can go to Simplicity, Butterick or McCalls websites and pick out patterns that you like, so you know what you want when you go.

Everyone have a great day!

I've lost that nasty 2.5 pounds I gained last week plus an extra pound for a total of 3.5 pounds this week. I'm weighing in early because we are going to see Baby this afternoon and I won't have scales for over a week.

So if I'm missing for a few days you'll know I'm on a serious date with my new grandson.

I'll try and check in now and then on DS's computer but I've got a feeling that any spare time I have will be spent with the baby or cleaning house. Ha, ha.

:wave:

Busy day yesterday -- but I did manage to keep the eating in check -- I'm definitely on a good roll this month and boy oh boy do I ever hope I can continue it :crossed:

Today will be one of mostly hibernation for me -- not that I'm superstitious or anything -- just, well, 'better safe than sorry' as they say. :lol:

Afraid our weather for both yesterday and today has been pretty winter-like. Very windy and very cold -- but sunny. :yes:

Have a good day . . . :carrot:

A quick scan of recent post, much to say but no time. I'll have to re-read them all tomorrow and comment. We are on our way into town to pack up some of MIL clothes, linens, etc. We'll move her into 'Autumn Lane', a memory unit next Wednesday. Susan...You are new and don't know about MIL, she is in the middle stages of Alzheimers and been living in her own apartment. We have lots of furniture and stuff to go through this coming week. Good for you and Isabella for taking your mom's in. I would gladly have taken my mom too, she was a sweet heart. (Died two years ago). My MIL is what comedians joke about, over-bearing, demanding, every bad thing you can think of. My DH is an only child and she took him out of her will 5 years ago because we wouldn't bend to her demands. We won't shed a tear when she croaks. Enough of that, gotta go pack up some of her stuff. Thanks God Alheimers have dulled her sharp tongue.

A quick message to Bobbi, Thank God that my mother is the sweetheart that she is, because my MIL is so much like yours. She has recently moved to our town, and DH is at her house every day trying to help her get settled. Even though she is loud, overbearing and demanding, she also has her good qualities, and has been good to us. My MIL really doesn't know how to be kind and loving, I'm sorry that yours doesn't either. I don't think I could take care of her, or have her move in with us though. Hope all goes well with you today!!

Oh BOBBI . . . :rofl: . . . Good one, Chickie

Hi -

Got a GREAT pair of earrings at a craft show today - to replace a pair I lost on my last vacation.

Did 2 hours of exercise yesterday & ate around 1100 calories. This morning I was up almost a pound!!!

I really hope I stay on track next week on vacation with my sister. She's around 110 lbs - has been all her life - and eats about twice what I do. I think it's because she never dieted. Her metabolism hasn't been all messed up.

Take care,

Lynn

It's a gloomy rainy day here in Kentucky this morning, supposed to do this all day. Oh well, this is the bad before the good.

Looks like Mother may have kidney problems that may postpone her pacemaker surgery next week. We're supposed to get the results back today from her blood work done yesterday. Hopefully it's her digititis that is up, I hope I'm saying that right. We can reduce that, and get it back down to normal. Had to start her on another pill for her stomach, 30 minutes before she eats, 3 times a day.......one more thing for me to remember, HELP!!!..lol

I didn't eat great yesterday, I don't think I went over my allotment, but didn't eat a very good choice of foods. Today is another day, will do better.

Have a great day!!! and remember......

Nothing taste as good as thin feels.........

Hi Susan,

Good luck on a better day today.

Lynn

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm attending a new group - local area genealogy group. Hopefully, will be better than the scrabble group I attended.

Working on gathering my "making good eating choices" resolve for next week in FL. I REALLY do NOT want to bounce back up again.

Have a good week everyone. I'll see you next Saturday :wave:

Lynn

damn something ate my long post....snort whiny hissssssssssssh...later Karen3

Happy Week-end everyone!
Not much going on here today other than some nice weather. Hope some of our large snow drifts melt some. I can't wait to start hanging out laundry on the clothes lines. I packed up all MIL summer clothes yesterday and brought them to our house until summer begins. She is going from 3 large closets to one closet in her new place and only has room for one season of clothes. Her new place will cost over $4,000 a month but it'll be her room only. No other person sharing the room, it's a very large room with a view over looking the flower garden court. She can have her love seat, end table and coffee table in there as well as her bedroom set. I wouldn't mind living there myself! I need to get cleaned up and get some baking done for DH. He loves jelly rolls and I have homemade grape jelly to use up from last years grape crop. You all have a great week-end.

Good morning everyone,

another gloomy day, but that's ok, the sun is shining somewhere!!! I hope everyone is having a great Sunday, I'm showing property this afternoon, YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE, so wish me luck.

Haven't walked for 2 days, but am on my way out the door for at least 30 minutes, will see after that if I can go further. I need to get started back on my power mile with weights, maybe this week I can get that goal accomplished.

Everyone have a happy Sunday, I hope all is well in your worlds today!, and remember:
nothing taste as good as thin feels!!!

:wave:

Hope everybody is having a great weekend. :grouphug: We have sunshine today and the temperatures may actually sneak slightly above the freezing mark. :lol: Not exactly Spring, but I'm starting to hold out hope.

Hi everyone hope all is well in your world,my turns slowly:dizzy: its sunny but cold we are getting more daylite hrs tho so spring is coming :cp: (((hugs)) rosey :wave:

Hey guys...Just watched Discovery take off. It was awesome.The clouds were heavy low on the horizon then they started to glow orange and the spacecraft rose above the tree tops with a hugh bright tail of orange popped into even heavier clouds only for a few second and then flew into clear sky with the setting sun reflecting off the craft and trailing a long gold tail of flames. This was the best one ever to watch. At that point they were traveling about 2700mph....wow!

We're 130 miles away from the launch site and can still hear and see so much. They had a perfect day to fly. Karen3

Hi Everyone, Well, we made it back to Colorado about 7:30 last night. It was a long trip but I'm glad that we were already back there when my Dad got sick. He had a really hard time after his surgery but is doing better. We did decide to have him go to skilled nursing right now at least until he gets his strength back. If any of us kids tried to take care of him at home i just know we wouldn't be able to make him get moving the way he needs to get better. In fact, I heard today that my older brother was there with him when a nurse came in and said it was time to go to rehab----my Dad said he just didn't think he was up to it today---she didn't take no for an answer and he ended up riding on a stationary bike and then lifting some weights. I know we wouldn't have been able to make him do that and I also know that this is what he needs!

Our realtor called this morning and people were coming this afternoon to see the house so I got moving pretty fast and got things put away and the house looked good to show. BUT I am pooped tonight. I am hoping the house sells soon and we can get moved back to MO. I'm so glad that we were already there when Dad had to be taken to the ER---it wouldn't have been much fun driving 700 miles worrying about him all the way!

Anyway, wanted to at least pop in and let you know I'm still hanging in there. Now I need to get focused on my eating and exercise again! May need a kick in the pants to get started again!

Take care.....

Good morning all, hi Karen31, and Rosey. I'm new here and very excited to be here. Karen31, hope all goes well with your dad, and with selling your house.

Karen3, what an awesome thing to see, and the way you described it, wowowow. That must have truly been a sight, glad you were able to see it.

Even with a few days of not eating exactly right, I'm still down 2 more lbs. YIPPPPPEEEEEEE, and I walked 40 minutes yesterday.

Does anyone do yoga? I guess I need to start that too. Tell me what you think please.

Have a great Monday, mine is going to be full....:)

Good Morning Girls!
Wow, what a gorgeous morning, temps are to rise to 60's. I can't wait to hang clothes out on the line.
We have to go into town to measure MIL future home/room and figure out what we can take and what to sell of furniture, etc. DH has been having lots of bad nightmares lately, I think all this stress is getting to him in his sleep.
Susan.........:congrat: on you two pound loss.
Karen3...Lots of advantages of living in Florida besides sun and fresh fruit!
Karen31...Hi girlfriend, nice to hear from you and glad you had a safe trip back.
Hi Rosey, Lynn, Meowee, everyone have a slimming week.

Good Morning . . . :grouphug:

Still on the proper eating track, but the blood sugar is very, very erratic. Have to see what the doctor says next week. Might be connected to the definite increase in pulmonary edema symptoms I've been having. :dunno:

Northeastern Nova Scotia is enjoying another sunny day, but the temperature is going in the wrong direction :mad: and the high today is not predicgted to get about -5C / +23F. At least it isn't too windy at the moment.

Have a great day, gang . . . :carrot:

The green beer started to flow early today in Halifax -- the bars opened at 7am and people were already lined up to get in. :lol:

Another sunny but cold day for us. Think I'll don something green and go off to town again to get a couple of things I forgot yesterday. Other than that -- nothing exciting for me.

Hope everybody else has some great and fun plans. :grouphug:

Happy St. Patties Day! :luck2you::drinkup::irish::kissluck::patrick::cupg old::goldpot::luck2you:
Sorry, no time to chat, MIL dealings again this morning. So many papers to sign, blah, blah, blah. Catch ya all tomorrow, lay off the green beer.
Meow............Geeeeeeeeeesh, are people really lined up at 7am?

Yes they were -- it was on the morning news. :D

Hi everyone, Happy St. Patty's day, hope no one got pinched today....or maybe so??? Mother had her pace maker surgery today, she did fine, and is back home. We thought she might have to stay overnight, but they didn't have to keep her. I packed lots of healthy snacks and water, but didn't have to eat them.

Bobbi, I hope you get things taken care of soon for you MIL, and you and your hub can get back to your lives.

Meow, it's spring here, perenials are coming up, trees are blooming, it's in the mid 70's today, spring is in the air, my hub is outside tilling the garden, oh i can't wait for fresh lettuce, and next week it's supposed to be winter again.....:(, I hope nothing gets their butts bit.

Hope everyone else is doing good, have a great day, I'm pooped, time for a nap.

Remember, (I'm typing this for me....lol)

Nothing taste as good as thin feels........

Just dropping in to admit to my chocolate meltdown today :o -- so much for my perfect March. :cry: Never mind! I promise to be 'back on the wagon' again tomorrow.

Good Morning all, today is going to be a gorgeous day here, until this evening when the rain moves in. But, I guess we need those springs rains, to help out with the summer dryness.

Yesterday before we went to the hospital, I did my 20 minutes Power Mile with Leslie Sansome. I really like her walk tapes.

This morning I am walking at 7:30, have a g/f who is in Michigan right now, and we are meeting on the phone....will walk together. Hopefully I can do at least 40 minutes to make up for the 10 I didn't do yesterday.

Meow, we all have to have chocolate melt downs occasionally. That what women do.....lol. Hope today is good for you, and you get back on the track where you want to be. I didn't do great yesterday, but like you said, today is a better day!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Susann
"Nothing taste as good as thin feels" (the more I type that, the more I remember it and think of it)

:wave:

Another sunny day and we may work up to above freezing temperatures, too. :yay: Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy but quite a bit milder. We'll see.

Nothing too exciting in my plans. Just worked out my averages for the month so far and happy to say my 2286 total calories yesterday did NOT screw things up too badly. I'm still in good shape for the month. Average total calories are 1444 and percentages are running right on 40% carbs and 30% each for fat and protein. Sometimes you just get lucky I guess. :lol: Yes, I do believe in the 'cycling' philosophy whether you are tracking calories, points, or something else. I just don't think it needs to be all pre-planned. For me, and most of us (probably) , it just seems to happen.

Have a good Wednesday, folks . . . :carrot:

Good morning all....Finally back in the land of the living. Schedule is still crazy. I have a bridge game Friday to prepare for and just found out the fish fry that was canceled a few weeks ago is on for Thursday....and I promised an apple pie. Plus I have to get my nails done at 9am Thurs. Will stop on way home for apples today. Make pie in am and bake after appt. Can't get rolls etc until around a 11 on Thurs because of delivery.....Did you know you can tell the delivery day by the color of the tag on bakery product. The colors are always in alphabetically order.....blue green red yellow and white. At least here in US.

Susan....I'm not a caterer. I direct duplicate bridge games and when I do must supply snacks etc for players. This time of year with the snowbirds we have between 25-28 tables. They run me ragged. The GG have kept me sane and able to make all these goodies with their support. I jump on and whine and know they are here and don't even lick the spoons. Poor DH gets to be my tester.

I did my WI after the last of the company left Saturday and had a naked happy dance. Lost 2lbs with 3 weeks of no meal planning. Of course half the time there were no meals.

DD and SIL are in NC meeting with the builder. It is so exciting to see their house starting. The foundation is up and bricked. They have a month until her retirement. The pastures are ready for her horses and the barn is finished. They have been moving stuff for months. Be the first time ever that April 15th means something other than Tax Day! And we have some place to escape to during hurricane season.....sure....it takes 12 hours with just regular traffic....be 2 days! But boy having kids retiring is hard. We just retired 8 1/2 yrs ago and I'm too young for this....sighhhhh

Has anyone tried one of those upside down tomato planters? I bought one yesterday....of course I forgot to get the plant! Gonna hang it on the front porch. Let you know how it grows.

Bobbie....It will take awhile for your MIL to adjust to her new home. But the release from worry for your Dh will be tremendous. In my old life I was at DON of a nursing home and usually it took about 3 months for adjustment. So lov hang in there. It will get better.

Having too much fun just sitting here and making lists instead of doing.

Ohhhh, we finally found something to help poor allegic Dash. Better known as the million dollar dog. The vet has started him on cylcosporin which is an old time drug used to prevent organ rejection after transplants. It apparently stops allergic attacks in dogs. Be expensive but in one week he's 100% better. He's a happy puppy again and in his joy flipped me out of bed this am.

Boy....I better get moving....hugs, Karen3

Good Morning Girls!
Yesterday I made some Irish Cabbage soup and Irish Brown bread in honor of all our Irish friends. I've never made this type of bread before and it's was quick and really good. It takes 30 minutes, no yeast. I'll post the recipe for it on our small recipe site. It's very tasty toasted too!
Karen3...Glad to see you back to your chatty self.

Good morning all....Finally back in the land of the living.

Meowee...My DH is a bit of a historian, he knows everything about everything in history. Some people have a knack for that and he's one of them. He was telling me about Novia Scotia and how it was named. Is the population still mostly scottish people or are they all mixed up like my part of the country. We started out mostly Scandinavians as the telephone book will tell you. Sooooooooooo many last names ending with 'son' or 'sen'.
Isabella...my DH wants to come to Newfoundland for a moose hunt but he doesn't make the big bucks like he used to so that's out of the question. Social security checks suck! I sure enjoy him home, we have an on-going scrabble game. Yesterday he got a 42 pointer but I still beat him.
Lynn...Did you ever find a scrabble game to down-load on your pc?
Susan...I have perrenial on the south side of the house, I've checked every day to see if they've popped up yet. Nope! We also have a large garden and we plant mixed lettuce every year. I love the arugala (spelling?) peanut butter tasting lettuce.

You all have a skinny day.




I keep all my Pistachios/nuts in the freezer. Pistachios have been an important part of my weight loss, I'd rather eat them to get my oil in for the day than using canola/olive oil. I fry most meat in zero calories Pam.

:lol: Oh BOBBI, I think almost half of the population of my small town (about 4000) is named MacDonald or named MacDonald before marriage. Pictou (as you DH probably knows) is where the first shipload of Scottish immigrants landed in "New Scotland". We have a replica of the ship -- the Hector -- on permanent display at the harbour front.

Good Morning . . . :grouphug:

Imagine my delight to discover this morning that it was only March 19th. For some reason yesterday I was sure that Friday (official first day of SPRING) was going to be the 22nd. So, this is like somebody just gave me an extra two days to play with this month. :rofl:

Of course, the day has dawned with very overcast skies instead of the nice sunshine we've had for the last few; but it is fairly mild.

The melting of the snow cover is great, but does present one problem -- OMG the litter strewn along the sides of the roads is horrendous. I didn't think there could be that many Tim Horton's cups in the entire Province. Yuck.

Have a great Thursday (it is Thursday, isn't it?) everybody . . . see you all later. :wave:

Newbie!
 

Hi, I just joined today and am eager to participate in a support group. What should I do to "join"?

Do you have a certain day that everyone "weighs-in"?

I'm trying to stick to a calorie limit each day. My wonderful body always complies if I can just control my right hand which will shovel food into my mouth non-stop if I don't watch it like a hawk, lol.

With the "back issues" I have, I can't work out, really can't even take a brisk walk on a regular basis, so I'm trying some water exercise in a local heated pool.

Other than that, I'm thinking of tying my right arm to my body, :o. What do you think?

Kren

Good Morning Girls!
:welcome: Kren. The Golden Girls is a gab site and we certainly do support each other. If you want to join the 'Accountaility' site, you can weigh in there and post comments here.

Good Morning, everybody . . . :grouphug:

. . . and glad you found us KREN. All you have to do to join this group is be here. :hug: As BOBBI mentioned, we do our chatting in here mostly and our weighing and soul-baring up in the Accountability Thread that's up in the Sticky area. We have no set format for anything. Just play it by ear.

It's raining today, but it is fairly mild for a change. Of course, that has it's bad side too -- wowee, as the snow melts all the litter is rising to the surface. I didn't think there were this many Tim Horton (Canadian coffee spot) cups in the entire Province. :dizzy:

Nothing too exciting in my plans today. Will probably 'do' lunch and a little shopping with my friend LouLou, but not much else.

Hope everybody else has a great Thursday . . . :carrot:

Howdy everybody.....Going crazy cooking day. Nothing is going according to the lovely plan I concocted yesterday. The bread man hasn't delivered the rolls yet. They were out of rhubarb. So cooked the strawberries and will make a trifle with vanilla pudding. The pie got in the oven late and is still baking. Had to do Dash's turkey thighs and they too are still baking. So have to do a pineapple upside down cake later. Boiled 18 xlg eggs and made egg salad. Then boiled 36 lg eggs and made 72 deviled eggs. Chopped up the leftover corned beef and added onion and 1000 island dressing.(surprised me there...it is good) Made the ham salad and the seafood salad. Plus got my nails done.

Have go back to store this afternoon for rolls. How it only be 1:30 i'm pooped!

welcome Kren.....This is a great place to chat and get all kinds of ideas on how to stay on plan. We are all doing different diets, but all have reach a point where it is so much harder. Guess can say anything that happens to you we understand cause we're been there and done that, too.

Still have to make the roll ups and stuff the celery. And make the sandwiches in the morning. Then am done with this stuff until April 17th. Amen! Sitting here guzzling water and pondering what have I forgotten....just know it's something important....

Back to the kitchen...............Karen3
