Whoa! Lot's of news in the thread today. I don't have time to reply to every post but I enjoyed reading each of them.
Erin, it's a lousy way to lose weight - but congratulations.
Yjojo, hooray!
Natasha, you deserve to be "swimming in money" - you've been working so hard. How exciting that you'll be riding that bike soon!
After supper tonight Fergie and I made an adult size hula hoop. I had a great time playing around with it!
I can't do any of the cool tricks I found on youtube, (I dont' think I'll ever be able too), but after about half an hour I could keep the hoop going through about a full song without dropping it.
An amazing accomplishment for an old dog like me.
Hooping isn't going to take the place of my walks or my wii fit, but it sure is fun. I'm hoping it will "whittle my waist" a little bit, too.
I mas full on making this recipe out of the SBD book (vanilla custards) and over halfway through I realized that I was looking at the wrong recipe 
I had to wash up and start all over, and now I have a mixture of stuff that I need to figure out something to do with it 
and the custards are in the oven
