A 34 inch waist is awesome! My DH is even bigger than that! He is trying to get back down to a 33, which is where he was when we met. He needs to fit into his suit by May for his daughter's wedding.

I vote the wine suit as well! Your aunt will be smiling from heaven!

Good gosh. I sat down to crank out a quick Treasurer's report that should have taken 20 minutes and 5+ hours later I am done! My email program for my role crashed, several phone calls for that, several phone calls from someone on the board who needed a mailing list, so I had to pull that from our donor list and clean it up then cross reference with an old list. Then call the bank because a CD had matured. yada yada yada.

I like Aquafor but it's Vaseline-y textured. Claudia and my dad swear by Vanicream.

That poor little girl!! The sick part is that being in second grade, the "friend" is simply parroting her parents or other influential people in her world. We only hate who we're taught to hate.

Greetings all

Early check in for me on this gloomy rainy day. Thats just how winter is here We await our voyage to the new dentist Both DH and I have appointments. DH has a chipped tooth that needs help. I don't think I need anything other than to find a new dentist that does not give me the creeps. We shall see. I don't mind spending the money for an extra set of X-rays and exam. So I will be sitting in this waiting room for awhile as DH goes in first. There is a fabric shop next door if I get bored even though I don't sew anymore.

Liz I feel your pain. Nothing worse than scary driving in a rental car in the dark and rain. Hope the rest of the trip is better. Justice is missing you.

Paula yikes midwestern winter! Glad you had some good warm soup and a pleasant event. Crab legs reminds me that sport crab season has just started here and commercial will be soon. Enjoy yours.

CC stinky dog! Guess that is what happens at dog camp. Yay for a no event day.

Who has ideas for the best hand lotion? My hands are really dry this year and a lot of skin peeled with that surgery. I have a magnesium lotion that is supposed to be good for this condition but it has an icky texture. Need something new. And since we are driving 30 minutes to the big city I feel compelled to go to Costco or Target or somewhere to shop. Our small town stores are pitifully poorly stocked. Maybe hit the big city CVS and get take out Thai food. Boy do we know how to live it up.

DH was at his technically challenged friend's house this morning to try to bolt down their big tv to prevent earthquake tip over. Of course we just had a pretty big one and it did not tip. Wrong bolts so it did not happen. Another mission for DH.

Cheers all Diane S

217.0 Bouncy, bouncy.... today is shot day and tomorrow is travel day. While I am looking forward to seeing my cousins and their kids and grandkids, I'm still sad about the reason. Auntie was the last connection to my mom. I always felt I could see my mom in my aunt after my mom died. There was a comfort in that recognition.

I had a gut punch at school today. I found out one of my little second graders went home very upset because several of her "friends" informed her they don't like Jewish people. She is Jewish. I really believed we were so beyond that in this school community. This type of mean spiritedness and racial prejudice literally turns my stomach and makes me emotional. I am at a loss and don't even know how to begin to process this.

Not much on the schedule today other than working out. I guess I should pack. My aunt was an artist, but married to a political journalist who was in the Carter administration. When talking to my cousin about attire for the celebration of life she suggested I choose my suit with a little flair, so the wine colored suit it will be! I should stand out like a sore thumb among the geriatric journalists, politicians and their wives. I can hear the whispers, "Oh, that must be the gay nephew from California.." Such fun to cause a stir! LOL! I will get a pic this time!

On the weight front... I bough slim fit Levi jeans in a 34 waist and they FIT! Not even super tight. Hallelujah, hallelujah....!

Gotta run, lunch is over!

145.1. Soooooooo dang close! I'm actually not as close as I think because my new height is 5 3" 1/2, not 5 4" and the BMI I looked up is for 5 4", so my actual "normal " BMI should be 143. Eh, normal schmormal!

Christmas gathering with our couple's Bible study was fun last night! The hosts made soup and sandwiches but really went all out by cooking and entire beef tenderloin for the sandwiches and making one if the most delicious clam chowders I've had! She sent some of the chowder home with us and I just had it for lunch! Yummy!

Woman's Bible study was good today. I led it this morning as our regular leader needed to go see her Mom with a dangerously low platelet count in the hospital.

I'm thinking crab legs for dinner! DH wanted to go out to eat but as CC eluded too, it is just too darn cold here! -4 today! I ordered a heated throw from Amazon that is supposed to arrive today! Can't be soon enough!

Hope your BIL's service today goes well Liz! Safe travels home tomorrow with hopefully no turbulence!

Happy dog washing CC!
