...the size she wanted 2 B.



She bought some jeans that were much too small—just the size she wanted 2 B. She washed and ironed them and looked at them for 2 years until they would fit.

...he finished his sentence.



So there was a big earthquake & he just sat, meditating a protective shield around him. When the earth quieted down, he finished his sentence.

No Obsession Today



So no obsession today, but I was 264 28 calories under and I will meet my goal, according to my iphone, on Jan 23. Yea. A man I didn't know found my wallet and gave it back. My dad's wallet lost and found.

Now, a real diary...

Free Food Madness



I'm a sinner, eating another free meal like there was no 2morrow. And now I have 2 enter the calories on my iphone. It will collapse under its own weight. (I just entered the meal... was only 388 over for the week... and I have Sunday for redemption.)

ERROR: see drawing for 11/15... not yet done.

Shark Eatin' Fish



I saw some kid's drawings and I was so jealous, & then my grandson drew a shark eatin' a fish and I gave up art making (for a few hours).

Good News, Bad News

I made it home with most of my walking route recorded on the map on my iphone. But I couldn't remember how to do a screenshot... and when I figured it out I had lost the map.

Tomorrow is another day.

The .lbs from the hefty bbq went away... now it is a matter of one day at a time.

Or one breathe.

May Peace Prevail on Earth
