Preparing for tomorrow
Wednesday, December 17th 2008
Just a short note about tomorrow. I am going to be out all day so I prepared a Turkey stew today which we had for dinner tonight and can have tomorrow as well. I also prepared some extra in order to freeze some for future meals in Jan. when I have my foot surgery. I am getting meals made starting now so I will have a month's supply in a few weeks so hubby won't have to work so hard when I have the surgery. I hope to have 8 or so different dishes done in a few weeks. I discovered Amy's frozen pi...giving encouragement

Through out this Holiday season I am reminded that there is one free gift that doesn't cost us anything but a little time, the gift of encouragement. Yesterday, I saw a young girl at the gym who was in need of some. She was quite a bit over weight and apparently was not accustomed to doing any exercise.

I still crave those sweets right and left. I even dream about what it would be like to eat cake sometimes. Ok, I know some of you are saying, why...christmas shopping

I am getting most of my exercise in this week walking around shopping. Today I got in a couple of miles just shopping. I know it's not the same ting as if I was on the treadmill doing 3.0 speed. but it will have to do until things slow down a bit and I can make it to the gym. I pretty much have all my gifts lined up or bought. My daughter and I are putting together some photos from the wedding for my mother and mother in law for their presents along with a few nick nacks.
