Heart, Thanks for the words of encouragement. Actually, we are pretty much the same bone size--my sister and I; I just have more "fluff"!!
I really think there must be something to how much one eats. The SB book talks about not having seconds and not taking so much food that it laps over onto the rim of the plate. I would say that my sister definitely eats that way--just small portions that she often doesn't finish, and only a small snack. She eats anything and everything--white potatoes, ice cream (full fat and full sugar!!!), potato chips, etc. but just not very much of them. She might have a muffin for breakfast, with butter, and leave 1/4th of it. I have NEVER done that! Leave part of a muffin!!?? You've gotta be kidding! Anyway, I might start trying to do that.
The house is still a wreck, but everything is moving on. They know that we really want to get back into our bedroom, and so the painter is trying to finish all the woodwork and walls there by tomorrow afternoon. Then we can move all our furniture back into place and live there like we are not camping out. I think the plumber will be coming next week to hook everything up, so I will be back into my old bathroom with new sinks and new shower. I'm really looking forward to that. They will be tearing out the sliding glass doors from my family room and my kitchen maybe tomorrow, so things may get messier. They also have to do some ceiling work in our hall and have decided to just scrape our hall ceiling and put in a new knock-down ceiling. That will make a BIG mess, but I'm hoping that if I put rolled up towels in front of all the doors leading into the hall, it will stop dust from leaking in. Hoping!
I did not get a chance to walk. Just too much stuff to talk over with the contractor. But I did go to my workout place and lift weights for 30 minutes. It is too hot in the middle of the day to walk so m-a-y-b-e I will walk this evening. I'm having dinner with my DH at the club where he plays golf--so I won't have to cook. I'll probably get tiny crab cakes, some green veggie and oriental slaw that comes with the crab.
I turned off the A/C today because all the doors were open as the workmen were coming in and out. They all have left except for the painter, and the temp in here was 85°. So I closed all the doors and cranked the AC DOWN! We don't have a pool like Monet does. If we did I'd jump into it right now.
That's all the news from here. Need to clean up my kitchen and prepare a Sunday school lesson. Take care everyone.
Whooping cough...now WHERE did he get that? 
And I have 1995 minutes of exercise, and have burned off 13,998 calories.

great job.
Tom is thrilled I am getting in so much exercise though, he is not complaining about stuff much.

You never would have expected something that large to fit up your nose~
He says he seems to be doing well, just need to work a little more on the sinus rinses using a little more force and a little more of the solution at a time to get some of the "gunk" out of there. We then went by Wal-mart and he was complaining about the air feeling so cold and rushing up his nose!
I told him it was a feeling he will just have to get used to again. He is free to go swimming to as long as he takes it easy for a couple of days and doesn't put his face into the water too much in the beginning. We will go back next Friday as there is still one stitch they didn't get today and they want to suction out his nose one more time. We may go get in grandma's pool this evening or tomorrow, just depends on how he feels. He still complains some about headaches, but still has some healing to do.
