Stuck to the food menu absolutely perfectly yesterday. Oh, until after dinner. It was Monica's birthday and we had cake and ice cream. But I limited myself to a crumbly sliver that was about one half-inch wide on the fat side and about one-fourth to one-half cup of...

I'm down 4.6 pounds. With 21 days behind me plus nearly a week of “pre-days,” adding a half pound loss isn't much to crow about. Phhhttt. I can't remember the exact number now, but at the GNO Kristi said that 90-some odd women who reported their weight...

Yes, I have before photos. Yes, I will post them. Over there, in that box on the right. No, I won't post them until my “during” photos are are more palatable.

A few years ago, we got a mailer from a company called DirectBuy. It sounded a bit like a Costco or Sam's Club for home builders, designers, or remodelers. I've been a happy customer of Costco for years and thought I'd give it a try. First, I googled for info about...

Yesterday presented another bathroom issue. I was in a religious meeting without access to a bathroom for about two hours. That was not pleasant. Does this get easier? Does your bladder expand? Is that a good thing? Or must we forever be scheduling our days to be near...

Yesterday my oldest daughter turned 22. She wanted to go to Bombay House for dinner. So, we took the entire family. Yes, I want it bad enough. No, I'm not taking a Magic Bullet to the restaurant. So, we ordered family style and got a bunch of chicken and lamb dishes...

I'm still struggling to get all the food in on a regular schedule. I'd love to know how anyone else manages this. I don't get up at 6:00 am. Still, eating dinner at 7:00 pm is pushing the kids on the late side. How do you get all the meals in without doing a 14-hour...

Last Sunday a man in the stake came into the Relief Society room to make an announcement. It's one I think you will appreciate. At least I did. Three stakes in my area including mine all use a rustic camp in the mountains for the annual Young Women Camp, with land...

I've been asked about the next chance to meet and greet Kristi and Trish. Wellgood question. When I last talked to Kristi, there was to be a GNO in the Salt Lake/Ogden area on July 30. A poster graphic was supposed to be coming my way, but so far I haven't seen it. I...
