Hey sorry to hear about your BF being ill, I hope he is under care and getting better? Congrats on your decision to try to get outside more, i guess it does help us. And I think it's great you go to a French class, 'just for fun' ! 
Lisa Heck yeah girl you are doing good with your carb cutting!!
I bet the piece of b-day cake tasted soooo good! and yay for you for getting out to socialize and that you had a good time!! Are you still thinking about moving? Is your daughter doing a little better, about Hank? I hope so
HI to Monica, Coop, Kathleen, JesikaBeth! would love to hear from all of you!
I have to keep on, keepin' on, with my better food choices and exercise, I have kicked January to the curb,
but still have to 'get through' Feb. and March! I know I'm not supposed to 'wish my life away' but it is really blah here ...cold, locked in ice, we haven't had much sun in a long time. I do daydream about the month of May, getting the motorcycle out, the summer job, getting back into my beloved routine there, and the excitement/nervousness about the new chef, he has worked at Ritz Carltons in Stockholm (!) and in the U.S., and there will be a new breakfast/lunch cook that I have to get along with
LIke I'm gonna have to establish my position in the kitchen...which is dumb because I've got 17 years seniority over them!!
