hey, y'all i'm here! thanks for asking jeanne! i have been in the dumps, but i'm watching what i eat, and drowning my sorrows with gallons of water! today was tremendous fun! jennifer22206 and i met in person and did a mini-shop hop. we only made it to 3 shops, but that was the end of my money and stamina. lol. her little girl is a quilter in training! she loves fabric and knows her colors. she's 2. what a sweet little dynamo! i'm exhausted but had soooo much fun! lunch was a black and white cookie with black coffee--oops! but i needed the energy! i have to admit, i skipped everything posted after page 2, but will go back and read it when i can concentrate better! i hope everyone is doing well. i gained 5 lbs in october. i even had a brief foray out of one-derland, and i had vowed i would never do that! fortunately my size didn't get bigger! i must be in control, and really want to do this! i must, i must, i am losing weight!!
