:huh: Odd...I posted this on Sunday and it was gone in no time, never to have shown up on the blog page. Censored because I wrote about wine? Not very fair in my book. Nothing illegal, wrong, negative or un-CK about doing that. I'll try again.

Hubby and I started making our own wine back in January. We've already made a few different wines. Our first was our Hot Lips Jalapeno. Next was our elderberry wine which we siphoned into another jug tonight. Had our first taste of that and WOW it is soo...

I woke up to thunder and lightening this morning at 430am. :clap:I hope we get enough rain. There has been no rain for quite some time and the farmers fields are very dry. It smells and feels good outside when it's like this. I don't mind storms at all and find some comfort in them. We get more rain later in the week. The rain will push this heat out of NW Ohio. Yesterday we broke a heat record of 96! Hope we don't do that again anytime soon. Normally I hate the heat but this year so far I'm doing ok...

Despite being totally stressed the last couple of days I managed to stay on track! When I get like that the first thing I want to do is eat bad (but very tasty!) things and go get a bottle of good wine to go along with it all. This time I didn't. How hard! Our son had me so upset my stress level has been through the roof! He is 23 and doesn't live at home but yet we are always stuck in his drama. He wanted to come home (yet again). For the first time we told him no. That hurt really bad to tell...

Get back on track!

Wow. I consistantly keep blowing it for myself. I put on three pounds since last Monday. I am just going to have to buckle down and stay in that calorie target and keep walking. I always think at the time, "it's okay to eat all the things I made for this cookout. Or it's okay to just splurge on a certain meal when we eat out." No......it's not okay. Maybe if it's once in a great while, but I am doing it a few times a week. I was baaaad this weekend when I made everyones favorites for a...
