morning Paula... well you've struck a nerve...I haven't been around much for several reasons...#1 I suck at this - I'm out of control and I believe that I am eating due to emotions but then again who knows! #2 I've been very busy - this dating thing is keeping me on my toes .. I am meeting new people and finding out that men really do suck () most of them are looking for one thing and one thing only - are there ANY good men left in the world (that aren't already married or "taken")??? #3 I still suck at this...I hate that I feel as tho I am my own worst enemy - and knowing what I know and feeling the way I feel I still can't stop! - I have tossed the crap out of the house and then I go out and buy more...not really BAD stuff but stuff I KNOW I shouldn't be eating and eating way too much of the stuff that I CAN eat...sighhhhh this is a never ending battle...#4 I don't have much of anything good to contribute right now - I am throwing myself a pity party and I'm the only guest...I'm great on the outside (what everyone sees) but on the inside I am a mess....I haven't even shared this with my therapist (smart, huh?) -- oh well - now that I've depressed you -- if I could get to RI I would be more than happy to help you get started - I was a "pack rat" up until last year when I decided to just toss everything and take control of my house back! I pretended that I was moving and only kept what I absolutely needed and wanted (which was probably more than anyone will actually ever need) but I did it and it's done. You can do it!!! I have faith in you...you have always been one of my inspirations - someone I looked to for answers and strength - you'll get thru this and feel great about it when it's done... have a great day - start small - if you look at things as a whole you become overwhelmed...one little project at a time...it will all come together! Love, Linda

They are having their 75% off sale...so, when you look at the pink ticket, you take an additional 50% off at the register...I got 60 dollar sweaters for 8 bucks....tops, jeans, pj's, coats...lots of stuff for hubby for his new job... Check it out if you have a Penney's near you. I'm lucky, cause basically the plaza near to my home has a lone JC Penny that's not in a mall...so, there's always a lot of stuff there. I got my daughter flannel pants that I paid 20 bucks for in the fall for 1.52!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thought I'd let you know my little secret for this week!!!!!!! Paula
