    Fingers crossed, Robin!!!

    Where in Maui are you going? OMG I love it there. We're probably going to do French Polynesia (Bora Bora?) next year, but haven't confirmed anything. I'm tempted to just go back to Hawaii.

    Well I'm officially up almost 5 pounds. I'm hoping some is the sodium from the chinese food I had...but it's time to get off my *kitten* and start moving and cracking down on my diet or I'm going to be a total fat blob by Christmas.

    The Arkansas relatives arrive on Wednesday. Wish me luck.

    Hiya! Quiet around here...I'm 28 days in and still no alcohol :# it's actually been easier than I expected and I figure I've probably saved about $60 this month and dropped a couple of pounds. But, I'm not giving it up permanently, just going to be more aware for sure :) don't want to be a Debbie Downer on a lush thread....so bring on November 1st! ;)

    November first! Time is flyin' by! Not doing too bad on the moderation front. Weigh in is tomorrow so I hope to get some good news there.
    Syd- sounds like you need a couple days off to recoup from the relatives- get some R&R! B)

    Ann- its November, your lush card is lonely!

    Syd- Family gatherings is why we have wine! <3

    Rare beautiful fall day here. Need to get in a walk or two. Moderating a bit. Hope the scales will have good news Friday!

    I think my husband is the only one who gets excited about jury duty. He hates his job so much that he'd rather sit and listen to a bunch of lawyers all day. He got on a case that may last a couple of weeks and he's thrilled :D

    I stepped on the scale and am about where I was before I packed on those 3-5 lbs. Trying to get in a routine again.

    re: Jury duty. Definitely NOT excited about a jury summons.

    "Trying to get in a routine." Let me know how I can do the same!

    I can relate to your husbands feelings about Jury duty. I would rather spend a day in a jury room reading waiting to be called that go to work. I have never gotten on a case. Son's wedding and huge family drama to come I am sure. (Doug's family and his exes) I will consume plenty to keep the edge off. take care all.

    No fires here, thankfully...but super windy and dry. We desperately need rain!

    Hanging in there. Finally a quiet week. My brother does Thanksgiving (yay!) so next week is easy too. I'm actually getting a little excited about Xmas this year. Last year was a mess so I'm ready to decorate and go all out.

    How's everyone doing? What are your Thanksgiving plans?

    I'll be cooking here....my company always gives us a fresh turkey from a local turkey farm so I always try to cook on Thanksgiving.
    Syd- glad to hear that no fires where you are!
    I think I've only had 5 beers all month so I'm still going along on minimal alcohol.... :#

    We will host the family Thanksgiving. Will most likely have around a dozen show up. We are laid back so the stress level isn't so bad.

    Syd- I am glad the fires have spared San Diego. The loss of life and property is tragic!

    Hi all, I survived the wedding but the smoke in Sacramento was awful. We flew over the Camp fire it was horrific.
    Glad to be back home and I am still plugging along. Last year we did that huge tasting menu for Thanksgiving. Just me and Doug cooking throughout the day. This year we are each choosing 3 new recipes to cook through out the day, Could be interesting.
