You're welcome Suzie....... With this cold weather all I want to do is
eat, bake, cook and eat some more. But to hell with worrying
about a diet right now!!! There are more important things
in life.

laundry....thanks Suzie....when I do laundry I think of you!!!! lol

I hear ya Helen......I want to nap too but Aunt Lillian isn't
feeling well again.....I'm hoping we don't wind up in
the ER again. She's so stubborn she don't want to
go but I can hear that she's having a hard time breathing.

Plus, Kevin said they're talking about laying off
5,000 city workers.....one more thing to worry
about.....he only has 4 years on the job....it
never ends!!!

I just said that to my sister. worrying about not eating something because of our weight and then u God forbid can wind up like Marie. i am going to watch but not deprive myself...
i can not go see her now because Mike is stuck at work and gets out really late so I ll go tomorrow..

pray for prosperity Debbie and that he keeps his job.....Mike is the city also. He only has 8 years but I think he is safe I hope!!!!

Terry.....you're right......I'm taking this diet thing one day at a time.....
I'm not depriving myself either.....things in life change so fast
I want to enjoy every day!!!!!

Hi Debbie-missed saying "hi" before..sorry...hope your aunt is better and will say a prayer regarding the job loss......we don't really know what is going to happen everyday-so we should live life to the fullest...we have to take care of ourselves first and say a prayer that everything will work out for the best for everything else........talk to you later............
