I need a watch. Nothing fancy… although I’d love a fancy one like a Patek Philippe… but really I just need to know what time it is 
. It’s driving me crazy. Ever since I lost my old one - which I loved - I’ve been going nutty looking at my arm every time I want to make sure I’m not late LOL! I guess I need to go get another one though and stop complaining… it’s not like anyone is going to buy me a new one if I don’t…

Well here we are again… my pants - yes even my “fat pants” - are tight. I’ve become a walking, talking definition of what “muffin top” means as my pants not so gracefully pouff over the top of my pants LOL! …ack… not that funny really.
So, now what to do about it? I’ve tried not to eat so much but darnit I’m having a tough time with it. I’m thinking now of maybe trying natural weight loss supplements. We’ll see what works. I’ll keep you posted

It’s funny but when I feel good I really tend to take it for granted. I know that sounds silly but when I have an ache I realize how lucky I was to feel good… know what I mean?
Similarly I feel bad for people who are in pain all the time. Like someone who is in pain just walking. Like someone who has Plantar Fasciitis - that would be really tough

When I have the sweets cravings hit I tend to go for some jube jubes - or Ju Ju Be candies as my kids call them :). I’ll also have a small bag of Doritos for 250 calories if I’m feeling like I MUST have chips but man o man, the calories add up fast if I’m eating regular potato chips - so I tend to avoid even having them in my house LOL!

Do you have kids? After you had them did you have any interest in sex? I mean I think most moms take a break from that for a little while until we are more rested. Then we are back to ourselves BUT what about wearing sexy lingerie? Do you bother? Or do you even feel sexy after having kids? It took me a while but I’m back to that sexy feeling… but then again, I’m also single so maybe that’s why…

I’ve been thinking doing some home renovations this year. I’m pretty sure I can learn how to do most things as long as something like heavy lifting isn’t involved I’m thinking all I need is a course or two at the local Home Depot and voila, I can install my own Grohe faucets . Not that I’m very picky, I just want a faucet that has a “squirty thing” LOL!

I haven’t yet but I generally do like the books that Oprah recommends. I do find that, since she likes to read so much, she has a good feel for what books are worth telling her readers to read. Also, if the book isn’t a good read just for it’s story line - like in fiction books - they are good at teaching a lesson of some sort. That’s why i’m considering buying A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose

Life is pretty good I have to say . Right now I’m curled up in a comfy seat in our home theater seating watching a movie as I type this and I feel darn lucky. Really I do… I just ate good food, I have a full belly, and I’m snuggled up with great company . I think I’ll just grab a glass of wine and settle in. Good night

Have you? I have eaten Fig Newtons and REALLY liked them but I’ve never eaten a fig… just on it’s own like right off of Fig trees. It’s on my to-do list though. I’m just not sure if I need to peel them or if I need to dry the fruit first or maybe cook it??? I dont’ want to eat it raw and then find out that I did it totally wrong. Hmmm… I need to find a fig-eating friend to ask

I do. I enjoy the US magazines for the most part. Not because of the ads for things like Wilmington NC real estate of course, but because I find the coverage is so much more thorough. The Canadian magazines are okay too - especially if they are about something like beauty or fashion - because they give Canadian sources. But if it’s a gossip magazine (a guilty pleasure of mine every now and then), the US mags are by far the best
