Holy Moly!!
My mom just called to tell me they were on their way home from Montana. She also just casually mentions that she won the BIG cash poker tournament yesterday!! I asked her how much she won and she said she won $7,500.00!!!!
Woohoo for my mom!! She is a dang good poker player. She was even playing against some of the World Championship Poker winners like Doyle Brunson and others. WOW.
I am so excited for her!
So, now I will calm down.
It is only 50 degrees right now and rainy so I should just get some oatmeal and sit and enjoy the day.

Since you were a nurse I am wondering something about the water drinking issue. If you should drink half your body weight in ounces of water then that would mean that I need to drink around 210 ounces of water. That seems like a TON of water. I am currently drinking about 60-80 ounces (3-4 20 ounce bottles).
I am a bit nervous about this. Would you shed some light for me about the water thing? Thank you!

Whew! I am so glad I don't have to drink 200+ ounces of water a day! I would be in the bathroom all day. LOL
I can do the 12 1/2 to 13 8-oz glasses a day though.
I feel so much better. :)

I am working on a baby quilt today. Have to have it done by Sunday afternoon for the shower. Then later today I go to DS & DDIL's home to celebrate my grandson's 5th birthday. It will be all Thomas the train. His other grandmother has made him a Thomas quilt, and then the rest of us have picked out Thomas things. I got him mega blocks Thomas at the fair. His dinner and ours, of course, will be his favorite mac and cheese with applesauce. There will be birthday cake, and YES I will have a piece!!

I think you should eat what his favorite things. I do think that you should also have some cake! I think it will be big fun to go to that party.
Since everything is Thomas the Train he is just going to have a ball.
Have a good time!

How exciting to get on the scale, would it be 1&1/2 lbs?? 2 would be better. I lost nothing, nada, ubupcus(SP?). I had oatmeal for breakfast instead. (sigh)

ONLY ONE POUND
Hello, do you know me? If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm Only One Pound, just a pound. Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds or fifteen pounds, but never only one, so I just stick around and happily keep you fat. Then I add to myself ever so slyly so that you never seem to notice it, that is until I've grown to ten, twenty or even more pounds in weight. Yes, it's fun being Only One Pound of fat, left to do as I please. So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying "Oh, I only lost one pound." ( as if that were such a terrible thing!) For you see, if you do this you'll encourage others to keep me around because they will think I'm not worth losing. And I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you. Happy Days!! After all, I'm Only One Pound of fat!!! from www.dwlz.com/Motivation/tips

Had a sore throat so used that as an excuse for the ice cream, and that triggered my sweet/saltly thing. was a weekend of bad choices but am on a positive thought today so it will is going to be better.
