ok Ruth.......send it to me. I'll pm my addy to you.
Kel, I'm so sorry to hear about what is happening. I can't help you on the divorce lawyer thing, the ex and I used the same one and he paid for it all. But I can offer my support. I hope everything works out well for you. *hugs*
Linda, she is beautiful!!
We woke this morning to a toilet that wont refill with water. We have water in the house so thats not the problem....and hubby isnt the Mr. Fixit kind of guy and will likely call a plumber type person to fix it, and I'll try to talk him out of it and attempt to fix it myself because I dont want to pay this plumber type person the hourly rate he/she is going to charge!! So this could turn out to be a very interesting day Who knows, we might need a whole new toilet, which wouldnt break my heart in the least....since the one we have is pink, and I really hate it!!
I would like to put in a little plug for all the little businesses that need help...........Please try to shop in the little out of the way places that are owned by people like me. We dont situate ourselves in the big malls because we cant compete. But most of us have nicer stuff, and usually its alot cheaper than what you pay in a mall........so when your out doing your christmas, birthday, hostess shopping, remember the little shops out there on main st. Thanks
And off main street too Robin,
Adorable baby Linda, I hope you get your hands on her soon!
Ruth, great pictures, i wish I know how to upload them, but alas I really don't want them out there in cyber space anyway.
Good weekend so far.....off to think about watching a little tv to all the busy chicks on the fly...

Thanks for all your kind compliments about our new sweetie grandbaby, Sarah. We think she's pretty special too.
Today was a busy one for me. I worked from 8 am to after 3 pm at my club's annual Christmas craft sale. Lucky me, I got to work at the bake table. Our group had been busy making wine bottles full of multi-layers of various kinds of beans, which were then corked and sealed and tied with raffia and a soup recipe. They weren't selling very well until one of our group who is fearless began collaring people and coercing them into buying them. We ended up selling more than 24 bottles of them. We also sold dozens of jars of home made jams and jellies as well as the usual bake sale items. We made about $350 on the bake table alone. Our candy table was also very popular and the Cranberry Crunch that I made went like hotcakes. I'm absolutely drained now, though, and can't wait to have a nice long soak in a hot tubby.
I've been totally OFF program for the past few days. I'm not sure if it's because I was so totally OP while on the Fat Fast and now I'm having some kind of reverse reaction to that or what. I do know that I have to get back on track and PDQ. Still, a few people I saw today who hadn't seen me for a while mentioned that they thought I'd lost weight. Actually, I think it's just that my shoulders are toned from the Body Flex exercises but I'll take whatever kind comments come my way. Shameless!
I can't believe I didn't post yesterday! I came and read, got distracted and poof!
A very busy cleaning day for me. I don't know where the time went yesterday but I didn't get any housework done. And the great hunters will be back this afternoon, so, better get some things done.
Boys and I are off to see Elf at 1st showing this morning (Melis wanted to sleep in plus she needs to work on 2 art projects today). Then we will stop by the store on the way home (they will HATE that but hey, maybe they can pick out stuff they will ACTUALLY eat so I don't have to hear "There isn't anything to eat" all week long) Then home for me to work on the mountain of laundry.
Linda - try and remember how good you were feeling when you were in control of your eating and losing. If you can just close your eyes and try to capture that feeling (since it's a recent memory), maybe you can abate the cravings.
Janice - I hope you relaxed and got in some 'me' time yesterday.
Ruth - thanks for reviving the yahoo low carb club. Its nice that we can share our pics without the whole world having access to them, since it is an 'invite only' club. For some reason, I can't see you front page pic! It just has a box with the red X! And I was really looking forward to seeing it too!
The Weekend Cluck - Nov. 15 and 16
Thanks
Good morning!
