Never Again
Monday, November 16th 2009
Im channeling Scarlett OHara this morning. As God is my witness Ill never be 150 again. Yes! The past few mornings and again today, my weigh-day, after seeing at least one for eleven months, my scales did not show the numeral 5. What a relief.Now I have a week to give myself a little safety margin and then I will be free to relax for a few days around Thanksgiving.
I guess I should post the numbers here because apparently Calorie King thinks decimals arent significant anymore....
Only One Week??
Sunday, November 15th 2009
From where I'm sitting November is just flying by. Fortunately it looks like my weight is going to be where I was hoping it would be, the same as it was last year, at Thanksgiving. There will be plenty of other things that won't be the same though.For one thing this will be the first Thanksgiving without my mother-in-law although she wasn't really present in any true sense for the last few years.

The Rosamond Gifford Lecture Series is the largest library-related series in the country. I go primarily to support Friends of the Central Library. I dont particularly enjoy many of the lectures because Im not a big fan of contemporary fiction and not all writers are good speakers, far from it, but there have been evenings with writers and poets that I will never forget and now last night will be one of them.Geraldine Brooks gave the second lecture of this years series. Historical fi...
No Telling

I was up at 1:00 am this morning and the temperature was 59º/15º. There were mosquitoes out yesterday evening as I was picking up around the yard. It's hard to believe we had snow on the ground four days ago.The weather yesterday was just fantastic. I should have spent the day raking leaves and laying some mulch but I went to the park instead and then rode into F'ville to do some errands.
This morning I saw a 1.4# drop but I'll wait to see it again before I post it. I've fel...
