Sandy, FYI, I weighed less in 2013 than I do now. Ha. Just looser clothing back then. People called me scary skinny then. Not now.
I hope you get an okay seat on your flights. You will have such fun!!!

No Marie, there is no man in my life.
And I eat like a lumberjack. Remember those pictures I posted? And the quinoa and oatmeal lasts quite a while in my refrigerator. The sweet potatoes are tiny fingerlings. I prepare a few pounds of fresh and/or cooked veggies each day.
Enjoy the game. I am going to read.

Ouch, did I ever have a scare tonight! When I logged on, I got a screen asking for my password to open my computer. Ha! It's inside in my Last Pass program and I couldn't access it! I ended up calling Dell for help. and was told I need either my Kindle or iPad to reset my password, and I couldn't remember how to use either one nor could I remember the passwords. What a mess. The techie was kind and patient and after over an hour, he felt the only way out was to do System Restore! NO WAY!!!.....So I told him to call me back in an hour while I tried to figure it out. I located the password that was rejected, and this time it logged me in and voila! Here I am in time to go to bed! But I can't ever do that without reading all your posts so here I am!
MARIE, the long posts disappear on Google Chrome, so try switching to it. I will try to make it my default page on Chrome. By the way, has my li'l Sis looked in the mirror lately?
You are lovely and you glow! And thank you for being my sis! I have a lot to learn from you!
SANDY, looks like the rain will dissipate by Wednesday, and it will be delightful when you arrive! ...You are right about Chrome, and as for my eyebrows, if I could figure out how, I would Skype a picture of them and post it! I can never find the photos again, though! I love SmartBrow, and ordered a spare Brunette at the sale price when you did! Have a fabulous trip, and thanks for the holiday wishes. (And compliment!)
SHIRLEY, sorry about your cold, and try to rest if you can! Thanks for the good wishes...
MARCELLA and SANDY, lovely Graphics!
BARBIE, another hidden talent? You sew! Happy Chanukah to both of you.
LIN, gorgeous gal besides all your other attributes! I'd like to see that picture as your avatar!
ANNE, thanks, and I keep wondering where this YEAR went!
PHOEBE, dear dimples, you sound just like me! I keep falling asleep while on the computer AND the phone! Sorry about your cold, too. Looking forward to seeing your photo!
Patsy,...and ANNE again, Thank you for your different perspectives on my reaction to my DH. I think you are correct: it's MY problem rather than his! I have to stop feeling responsible, and truly, everybody here loves him! Perhaps the Bronx and Boston are 2 very different attitudes! ANNE, after all the mistakes I have seen in facial do-overs, I would be terrified to have anyone fix me up. I've earned every single line I have!
SANDY, I totally agree about how slim and young LIN looks now! I think her features adjusted to the new LIN! And yes, I have to keep re-reading your poem! So many people here keep mentioning how much it helps them! I just have to do better at applying what it tells me! I'm so grateful for your "gift"! I'm also grateful you share your wisdom gained from Al-Anon!
to all who celebrate this season!

I don't know if you can tell anything from this, but the few hairs I actually have left are white, and mostly , my brows are gone! SmartBrow adds tiny hairs that look real!

Lin what is written on the T-shirt?
Had a message from one of our credit card companies. Our card number was stolen, but we aren't liable for the charges. Scary stuff
Phoebe0 -
up bright and early this morning . My right arm went to sleep in my sleep at 3:30 Am so got up early . to wake my arm and hands. everything fine now all of the computers are working like they should Even my downloads of my embroidery machine is working fine. Cowboys won last night. What a wild game.
I made lima beans soup yesterday so my meals are ready for me today.we will make a run to Walmart to get a few groceries. this morning. Temperature's will get in the 70's today. more spring like weather. I may try my hand at a photo this morning. When I make patsy black beans soup I will used 2 cans of black beans instead of the meat.
Yes phoebe it is scary what people can do now days. never can be too careful. I call my bank several times a week to check on my balance.
See you all later
Love Marie

Just going for my morning walk, I'm a little late this morning, so switched things around a bit and logged in first. Anyway, BUZZ I'm really impressed by the photo of you and the eyebrows! Most impressive and very natural looking. Thanks for letting us see how nice they are.
Good morning everybody. ❤️ Anne.0 -
Buzz, I love the eyebrows! You must be quite skilled!!
Phoebe, my shirt is a Minion shirt that says Naughty or Nice. Oh my, number stolen!! Ack! I had that happen and the credit card company called me and had to shut down my account and issue me a new card. They never gave me any details on what happened. I was just glad to be protected.
Marie, I heard the Cowboys had a win last night. Yippee! At that party I won a prize for my costume and then a number of little things in the raffle. One thing was a set of battery operated candles with a remote control. I love them BUT it ran me out of AAA batteries so I will be making a trip to get some more today. No food though. Ha.
See you later. Walking, walking dear Anne.

Yesterday was the first of the days of the line dance performances. We danced one dance to "You're a Grand Old Flag" in honor of Pearl Harbor Day and held small flags. Then did five of our regular dances plus one dance to a Hanukkah song and four to Christmas songs. There were 15 of us in the group. We had fun and so did our audiences. Jake came to the first performance. Today I will take it easy and catch up on paperwork.Sandy, Have a great time in FloridaLin, you look great dressed for your holiday party.
Jake didn't sleep well last night so he got up early and did the before breakfast dog walk and now he's making a giant pot of marinara sauce that he'll freeze in containers the right size for a meal for the two of us Barbie 0 -
Barbie - Jake was alert this morning and energetic. I am still having sinues problems, but it seems to
be better this morning.
Lin - You are so slim, I am jealous like Sandy. But Sandy looks great too!
Sandy - We bought a Christmas bulb for Isaac that says "Little Buddy".
I was up early this morning making hot water and breathing in the steam for my sinuses. Then I
remembered the decongestant spray I had in the downstairs bathroom. Viola! I could breathe again
and went back to bed. I am getting on my bike this morning to get some exercise I feel like a slug. I did get all my wrapping down last night except for one. Kristina's boyfriend from Argentina will be joining
us for Christmas so i still have to wrap his gift. It was in an octangle shaped box and I couldn't get
it wrapped without it looking like crap. So I am using another box. He is getting a Canadian pair of
gloves and a hat.
I will be getting my baking list accomplished today then I will be motivated to get baking.
Lin- Here is a picture I did of a Christmas Santa and I never thought I could do it.
Mine is the gold Santa.
Have a great day !

Good afternoon, Looking forward to getting cooking, cleaning and laundry done today. Thursday, my husband and I are going to Nashville, TN for a few days for him to attend a medical conference. I'm looking forward to some relaxing time for myself while he's in meetings and some one-on-one time with him when he isn't.
Sandy - Have a wonderful, safe trip to Florida.
Lin - Love your holiday look!
Barbie - Your dancing sound fun and I'm guessing it's really good exercise too.
Buzz - Must admit that I was having trouble picturing the eyebrow thing until you posted the picture. Sounds like a really good idea. And from the picture, I can see that it looks great!
Marie - Your soup sounds delicious.
Phoebe - One of our credit card numbers was stolen last year. No fun! We weren't liable either, but still very annoying to think that all of us pay more for everything because of all the theft that companies have to deal with.
Anne - I want to do a better job of walking more. I finally put my walking shoes on yesterday and went for a nice walk in our neighborhood. The day was beautiful and it felt good. You inspire!
Off to the kitchen!

Cheers and hello! I do love having all the Christmas stuff up. I am like a kid. I love the colored lights and my Christmas village. I have some things that are years and years old. Seeing them displayed is like seeing an old friend. We need these holidays, Christmas and Hanukkah etc. they are important in some spiritual way. I think we need the rituals, I know nothing about any other cultural religious celebrations. But they all seem to bring a feeling of good will in some way.
Today is dedicated to the usual wrapping of gifts and vacuuming up the pine needles, tiny sparkles that came off various decorations. I will try to post pictures when I have things a bit more organized. I love, love, love the pictures you all post. How did it happen that all you glamorous gals all got together?
Buzz: I am ready to just shave my eyebrows off and get some of your smartbrows. My natural ones are unruly and not shaped properly.
Have a wonderful evening.
Patsy

Sounds like we are all gearing up for a busy wonderful holiday season! We sort of started this late morning with a Belgian Waffle at First Watch with delightful young friends we left behind in Delray when we moved 3 years ago. Can it really be 3 years already? Tonight our dining room has both baked ham and Potato Latkes (Potato pancakes) on the menu, trying to please our diverse population! Then we have an entertainer with the longest legs I've ever seen tap dancing a la Gene Kelly and singing like Sinatra! He claims he's self taught, but he is so fantastic I doubt it! It is not easy to turn away from the delectable platters, and I at least pretend to try portion control. Does it work? I doubt it!
Just called our chaplain, who had back surgery yesterday, and is walking today! Medical miracles! I have many chores to finish up today before tonight's celebrations, but sending big hugs to dear people was top of the list! Buzz 0 -

Shirley, what a cutie. Awww
We are out babysitting for our 4 yr old grandson while his brother 6 went to the allergy doctor for a egg intolerance test. Unfortunately he didn't pass. He feels so sad and so do we. Darn it. I guess they'll try again next yr. Both boys are allergic to milk, egg, nuts, Joshua to Soy too. They have to have 2 epic pens each when they go anywhere. I'm always nervous babysitting at our house. Here at their place is ok but out with them makes me nervous.
Melissa and Jack seldom get babysitters because of this. We are babysitting so they can see Star Wars when it comes out.
I have my nerve conduction test on Tuesday. We'll see how it turns out too.
Put my Mom's little tree up yesterday. Makes me feel good.
Got to run.
Hugs to all. Jeri

I just got a call to schedule me with a local doctor for more nerve studies for my legs. Neither my doctor nor Jake and I were very impressed or satisfied with the findings of the doctor I went to last month. The appointment is in January so there will be more time with opportunities to learn patience and moderation. One of my friends came over this afternoon for a dog walking lesson so she can help out, if needed sometime....I invited her to stay for latkes....she had never had them....she liked them...Jake thinks I make the best latkes in the world... so I said I'd make them again Thursday and Saturday. Buzz, I laughed about the ham and latkes til I realized that it was a choice not the meal for everyone. Shirley, I like the picture with you and Isaac. Jeri, I hope you get good information from your nerve conduction test and some solutions for what ails you. Barbie 0

Late Tuesday night and I am heading to bed since I have to get up at 5:00am. Ran around all day, first with Mass, then shopping, cleaners and finally mani/pedi. Finally got packed but had to take some time to unwind. Looking forward to spending time with my daughter and her family. Will check in as much as I can,
Sandy
One Day at a Time0 -

Busy day as I attempt to finish up all my errand before leaving town tomorrow. This long weekend trip will be a good test of my healthy habits. I'm trying to scope out really good restaurants in the area and look at their menus before going in to make sure there is something that will be right for me to eat. That also gives me time to get excited about my food choice without all the restaurant smells confusing my senses. We are planning to spend some time in the indoor pool swimming and walking the resort's trails. We will get a good bit of walking in at the nearby outlet mall too. My goal is to continue losing a little weight during our short trip while having a really good time.
Barbie - Second opinion are always a good idea.
Marie - Hoping the doctor tells you that your sodium is much improved.
Shirley - Your grandson is such a cutie!
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning! We are really getting the rain! Lots of flooding. Lots of wind! What a mess, the Christmas decorations in town are swinging and swaying, I hope they can hang on until Christmas. Lots of energy out there.
Still trying to get all the Christmas gifts bought and wrapped. I do give our daughter the usual check but I like to have a few little things for her too open. She is one of those people who has great difficulty getting Christmas together. Listen to me...I am still in the Christmas jumble state. Packages, boxes, wrapping paper, ribbon everywhere. I will get it together soon., I hope. Our son gets back from South American soon. I will be glad to have him on this continent at least.
Will have lunch with the gallery owner this week. This is always an experience. I get a peek into a life I would never want. She seems happy with the drama and constant issues to be resolved. Such a lot of angst this business harbors. One-up-manship and nasty jabs at other galleries and owners. Whew! That is a lot of stomach acid to deal with.
Watched Polor Express again last night. Lovely story! The animation is interesting. A different look from other animated stories. I can't decide if I like it or not. Part of it looks very artistic very well done.
Off to foot dr. To check on my forever foot problem. A little painful but not too bad usually. Grateful for my sweetheart who helps me each day with the inspection and dressing change. It is quite small, the wound. But it is still there. It is about the size of a 1/2 grain of rice. But sort of deep. One of my life challenges.
Have a happy day, dear sneakers. Marie, Buzz, Lin, Anne, Phoebe, Sandy, Jackie, Shirley, Jeri, Marcella, Barbie and all the rest of the lovely sneaker group.

Yay, Marie! Such a weight off, isn't it? I think Chrome is very good. Hope it is easy for you.
Yes, we are in Tennessee, getting close to home, maybe get there about midnight. We are at M & M Mars candy plant. It always smells like chocolate cooking.
See you later, 60 degrees here!
