All sounds good...except for the offspring part, oh yeah and the "young" part...but the ribbons and the carvings sound very "artistic" and springlike indeed.


My positives for today are that I did a 45 minute walk, am planning another walk for later on and just made a shopping list for a black eyed peas stew with smoked turkey and veggies accompanied by some low-fat cornbread that I plan to make tomorrow.  Trying to raise my magnesium via the peas.

The walk sounds great!

My positive is that we are going to a covered dish dinner tonight that includes some dear friends we haven't seen for over a year! Looking forward to stimulating conversation and a great time.

Yay! Dan! :clap;

BTW, when we go to Pot Luck dinners, I take a renal friendly corn pudding so there is something good for my husband to eat.

My daughter, Melissa, was in the newspaper yesterday as the special events co-ordinator for the Aids Alliance Walk and Ride. It was a huge success.  My son rode the 30 mile bike ride and then walked the 3 mile walk.  I supported everyone from the sidelines!!   :2thumbsup;

Wooohoooo - got my free fabric today!  I have a station wagon, and with the back seats down, I still could barely see out the back window over the huge load of fabric.  I have to unload and sort after dinner - I can't wait to see it all hanging up in my craft room!

I got bargains galore today shopping, too.  I found jeans half off at JCP - and got them in a size 2 sizes smaller than I've been wearing, thanks to all my diet and exercise efforts.  If I'd known I was going to find a pair for $2.75 at the Salvation Army that were just as nice, I'd have skipped JC Penny's entirely, but hey - it was great to end up with 2 pairs when I only had a budget for one!  I found a new jacket at the consignment store, so my much-too-big one can go, and my favorite little thrift store had a huge "new" selection in the "bag for a buck" bin.  I have new summer shirts that I can wear to dialysis without worrying about getting them blood splattered, and half a dozen tank tops, all for pennies a piece.  I found a couple of books I wanted to read as well.  All in all, a really good day for bargains!

I have a lovely daughter in law, Rebecca.  She is a nurse and a wonderful wife and mother.  Today she stopped by with a pot of soup and cornbread for dinner.  And a quiche for dinner tomorrow. She knows I am stressed and thought it might help to have food ready to eat.  Now I can do things I need to do and not worry about cooking.   :2thumbsup;
