Just a note to let you all know I'm fine and will be blogging tomorrow, after Weight Watchers.  🙂 The new contest began yesterday, so please be sure to comment. More news soon, I promise.

My Yorkie may be an old lady at fourteen, but she still loves an outing.  This morning, since I had to pick up a perscription and couldn't bring myself to leave her behind, I extended our usual car ride to include a brief stop at the pharmacy.  Since Bernice (aka the...

Yes, this week I am up nearly half a pound--I suspect water retention, since my rings were tighter this morning.  In any case, I am not concerned--though I might be if a pattern forms.  🙂 We are having the MOST beautiful weather here in Spokane--they're actually...

That I didn't blog yesterday because I was abducted by aliens and subjected to cosmetelogical (is that even a word?) experiments involving very bad hair-styles? 🙂 No, I didn't think so.  It is true, however, that my sister Sally and I send each other regular...

First, our winners for this week are Pamela Devereux and Peggy Casey.  Congratulations, both of you. As always, the new contest begins on Monday. Last night, Wendy and I attended a gem class at Wonders of the World--I had taken the class before, but I'm glad I took a...

🙂 As promised, here is the information some of you asked for after reading about my multiple-bracelet crash. The chakra balancing bracelet can be purchased for about $10 on eBay--the seller is 'themagicisinyou'.  (Yes, the words are run together.)  Going to...

I can hardly believe it.  I mean, I definitely followed the plan all week, but I sure didn't expect such results. A lot of you asked about the stones I was wearing when I conked out--:)--I know what some of them were, of course, but others have slipped my mind.  In...

Being a gemstone/crystal buff, I regularly receive gemstones, crystals, and related items, such as grids and various pyramid shapes, and this morning was no exception.  Cousin Mary Ann always picks up the previous day's mail (it arrives late in the afternoon) on her...

Good Friday is always a solemn day for me--a day of remembering the enormous price our Lord paid to ransom every last one of us.   'Thank You' hardly seems to cover it. I wish you and yours the most joyous and holy Easter ever; may your heart brim with the news: He is...

🙂 It's been a long but satisfying day, full of brainstorming sessions for the new book, etc.  I also managed to play with my new paints--the Lumiere colors I mentioned recently arrived late yesterday, and I've been playing with them, on and off, ever since.  Oh, how...

This week I said good-bye to 1.4 pounds.  It's slow progress, but that's okay, because I'm not on a diet--this is the way I will eat for the rest of my life.  And I can definitely live with it--the Simply Filling plan continues to amaze me.  🙂  Jen, Wendy and I...

What did I do today?  🙂 Well, I got up early, as usual, and listened to the Daily Audio Bible podcast, again, as usual.  As you know, I'm a big fan of the D.A.B., but I'd be less than honest if I didn't admit that there are things in the Old Testament that bother...
