Thanks to everyone for the congratulations! Will include a poem or two some time next week. I know these things sometimes fall through, but the editor seems quite efficient--wants to get me a proof by the 19th.
Incidentally, I replaced my printer with a 4-function (print, fax, copy, scan). It was a good buy, even though I thought I'd never use all those functions. Well, I already have copied the pictures I'd envisioned for the chap book (one of me (as as baby) and my mother; another of me and my daughter (as a baby). I hope he likes them. He's already accepted a rather flattering portrait of me that Earl did for the back of the book
I made an appt. with the podiatrist--but in spite of the foot pain, I did my full half-hour walk.
I printed out the guide for the DASH diet, and my goal is at least 4 servings of veggies, 4 of fruit a day. I think I have been kidding myself on how much fruit and veggies I eat. Like if I have yogurt with fruit in it, I bet that's not even a quarter of a serving. I think I will buy some plain yogurt and mix it with fruit--cheaper, too, I bet. Same way with veggies--that garnish in a sandwich don't really make it.
I went back to work on Fri., and the stupid computer still wasn't working. Since they worked on it, it is messing up in different ways each time. I asked my supervisor if I couldn't just move to another computer (which they had me do temporarily), and she said no, they had to fix this one because otherwise when the new class (not hired yet) gets on the computers someone will have to work on the broken one.
So the comfort and efficiency of a hypothetical new hire is more important than getting me out of a terribly stressful and frustrating situation?
Do any of you chicks have a suggestion for handling this tactfully?
(I hadn't checked the smilies lately. There are some cute new ones, though I'm not sure what I would use "kick the can" for.
Hal, sorry you had to miss the trip, but we have to make these choices sometime (all the time?
) That Martha Stewart recipe sounds great. I'll get a spaghetti squash at the store tomorrow. I might microwave it, tho.
1day--good for at least skipping the fries. It's so easy to say "well, I have messed up, so I'll go all the way."
Better do my yoga. All you chicks have a fine day!!

good afternoon
), but it does seem to crowd out a lot of junk food.
