Day....whatever!

So since Laura asked how my experiment was going.......here goes. I haven't been writing down everything I eat or exercising enough. I haven't measured all my food, but I am getting better at "eye-ing" it. I'm eating more vegetables & fruits and making healthier choices. I can tell a difference - either from the SW or the eating! Well, at least my legs are smaller, even if nothing else is! I don't do great every day, but certainly better!

It's hard to believe that when I go to Elissa's next week-end, I won't be seeing Aunt Thelma (Elissa's great-aunt). Thelma Price passed away this week and she will be missed. She's the one who told us, "every girl needs to have a little red car sometime." I took her advice with the first car I bought - a little red Dodge Avenger. I loved that car. She was always free with her opinion, liked her coffee hot, and was a sharp lady. And she never seemed to mind that I called her "Aunt Thelma" too. I remember her 90th birthday party a few years ago - pink was the color of the poinsettias. By the time her party rolled around, they were looking a bit scragly. So, Mrs. Sue had us get magnolia leaves, hairspray, and glitter. I can still remember standing on the back steps of the church, in the dark, spraying hair spray on the poinsettias and then sprinkling them with glitter. And you know what? It worked great! Good memories of a great lady.

I'm sorry if you all missed the celebrity on TV last week. Ch. 11 had a really cool guest on Oct. 24th demonstrating a healthy appetizer - it was really early so you might have missed it. But Ch. 7 had a great guest on Daybreak last Saturday demonstrating cookies. So if you missed it, oh well. Fame is so fleeting.

I got to go out to a soybean field this afternoon while the beans were being cut. My coworker Keith left his moisture meter on his desk, and needed it. So I headed out to Worden (past Bald Knob on 64) and went a few miles down a gravel road. It was interesting to see, and a beautiful day to be out driving.
