Nancia, I was just thinking of you and your posts when I was wandering around telling myself not to turn on the computer. (The computer won). It's nice to hear from you.

Murphy, thank you for looking up the FQ. I will be sending for sure. I'm concerned about MJ. She usually posts the next month by this date. Is she well? Missy has her phone # and e-mail, but I don't know who else does. Missy and Xylie are strangely absent, too. The last we heard from Missy, she had pneumonia, plus Xylie had fallen from a tree or roof and was badly bruised.

Not baking loads of goodies has been hard. When I had a cookie eating husband and five children at home, I could bake anything and everything. We made hundreds of cookies at Christmas time for gifts for family and friends. My oldest daughter was just talking about the couches and every flat surface covered in cookies waiting for the frosting to set. We were surprised our dog didn't touch them. I love baking and trying new recipes, but I can't bake my muffins today until I clean the oven. MY GSIL spilled turkey broth getting the turkey out for me. I hate the smell of cleaning the oven but it's time.

The extra tables and chairs (including a 53 year old highchair) are still out from T dinner. I want to straighten that closet before I put them back. Darn, I'd rather be quilting. My little tree is coming out Thursday. I gave away my big one because I just can't do it alone anymore. I will still decorate every corner of the house and put out my 13 nativities and many, many angels.

How seriously does WW take 'lifetime'? I am a lifetime member from the early 80s, but my goal weight was 138. That's going to tough to get down there again. The old program didn't work for me - too much bread and I'm not familiar with the new one. On a limited income, I'd rather buy fabric though I did like the accountability of the weekly weigh in. There's something about seeing in print for us visual learners.

It's 11:07. If I'm going to eat all my carbs before noon, I'd better get started. I need to drop these five pounds quickly.

I am losing weight and getting healthier.
