Good morning~

Ditto! tpatricco ( add trolls to that rant)

RAVE: It's Friday, and I leave for my Florida vacation a week from tomorrow, for nine nights!!! And only about a month until we make a trip to New England......... YAY!!!!!!!

RAVE: "Summer" in Raleigh is over!!! What a strange weather month so far...... It will be in the thirties by tonight, and then very cold for awhile! YES!

RAVE: UNC Tar Heels basketball this year! Watch out, Roy's boys are ready to take it all this year.........

RAVE: The four pounds I gained during the holiday eating break are OFF, proving I CAN splurge, then get back on the wagon! Now for the NEXT 34 pounds........ (For those who have asked me how I'm doing it, and asked for tips here, I will simply say, eat about half of what you have been eating or for me it's about 1500-1600 calories a day, and exercise at least five days per week, REALLY exercise... water aerobics, long brisk walks, light weight lifting, biking........ I exercise a good hour and a half at least five days a week. Now, having said that, by the time I figure in vacations, weekends in the mountains, holidays, I would say I've only dieted 3/4 of the last almost-seven months. And, yes, I know I'm boring *some* of you to tears BUT a few have asked! )

RAVE: After-Christmas sales....... the best time to get your formerly-expensive basics!

RANT: The continuing misery that the Tsunami has caused, and the plight of many Californians due to their freaky weather.

RAVE: Jasper is fine, even with a side-swiped car! WHEW.......... And sorry for your bleach incident, Jasper. That can cause a lot of expensive damage!

Have a great weekend, everybody in Fodorville!

Bonniebroad--You are not boring me at all! WTG!!! Did you ever get the CL subscription for yourself?

bonnie - the thing that I really admire is that you've taken a sensible approach instead of the latest fad diet - you'll definitely get to your goal more importantly you will get tremendous helth benfits. Keep it up!!!

Rave - bright sunny day
