Good morning friends,
I stayed with Connie last night. Bro Jones is gone to LA to pick up a safe that was donated to the station. She was a little afraid to stay alone, after the break in. The alarm system isn't installed yet. They live in a trailer in the yard. (forgive me if I repeat myself, I can never remember what I've told you all.
)We sat up until 2am watching people remodel rooms in their homes. I hadn't watched those programs in a long time...enjoyed. We DID get a little spooked once. The phone rung....the ID only showed a cell phone # we didn't know. Couldn't get anyone to say anything. We took turns for about 30 minutes yelling into the phone for someone to say something. We could hear a crunching sound, so knew someone was there. Finally, when Connie had the phone, a woman answered wanting to know why she had called. Connie explained that we hadn't called. (her # is the same as the station's #....rings at their trailer, when station is closed.) The lady apologized. Said the phone was in her purse & the button must have gotten clicked, somehow. The station was the last place she called, so when it was clicked, that's where it called. We have a program where viewers call in to get discount coupons for restaurants, etc (very popular program!) Well....that was the spook for the night. 
No sugar yesterday!!!! I made it pretty well. Wouldn't you know it.....the lady that does the cooking show on Monday (we always wait for her!! ) made some of the best looking sweet stuff I ever saw! I don't know the name of it...she's all time trying new recipes. I took a tiny nibble, to make them all think I was eating, while talking....& later threw it away................reluctantly. But, the thing is, I did it!!!! I fixed carrots for supper (with other things), & only ended up eating THEM. I LOVE carrots! Connie & I ate a little popcorn. The box of doughnuts are still untouched! Right now, I'm eating just a little bacon.......very slowly. It's probably not good for me....but, couldn't find anything else, & thought it might be better than a doughnut.
Joanne...so glad you had a nice weekend. I know you were happy to see both your nephew & your son. Great that they have become friends! I wish my son could find a "good" friend. I'm afraid he's going to get around the wrong people. I'm sure I worry for nothing. He's done great for over a year now.
He does need friends that would be a good influence & show him some attention. He loves his 2 little girls....but, needs more in his life.Hi Happy Canuk.....Hang in there!! I made it 1 day.
Not feeling better yet....wanting sugar. 
Hi Chrily....you hang in there, too!! I know it's going to be hard to not eat sugar, if you like it, with those young ones around. My son's 2 daughters are here every other week, & there's a lot of junk food, then. They're with their mother this week....so, I thought it would be the best time for me.
ok, ageoldie....you said you wouldn't be so long posting!
Everyone have a good Tuesday........
Sorry to hear about the crashing computer. Mine did that and we had to redo everything. I lost it all and had to wait for a recovery disk in the mail. It did take me awhile to find my way back here but I was lost without these girls.
Everytime I get started, this eating out business interfers with my diet. Going to ABC, so hope they have a nice salad I can munch on.
