Hi All!

Boston - I have no idea how to clean that oven Try contacting the store where you bought it and call the manufacturer and see what they say. If they say to use the stuff that already tried, be sure to let them know it didn't work! Your son going to school sick reminds me of Erin - she's always hated missing school. Speaking of laundry... I usually do all of mine on weekends. Yesterday I went to do a load and realized that I had left an entire load of towels in the washer from last week! With only 2 of us, I don't have to do towels every week and I never even realized it! Ugh! So I had to rewash them before I started on new stuff!

Julie - I know how you feel about the dress. Last year we bought Erin a dress for a wedding and then a few months later was her 8th grade graduation and we had to buy another dress with pink, black and silver. It is really such a waste. Then there's Homecoming and/or Prom every year and she'll want a new one! Keep talking about Disneyland - I might just have to jump on plane! Glad your knee is better! I like the idea of the disney watch as a reward... Oh, and tom hit me yesterday too - had cramps yesterday and this morning..ugh!

When I first came back to posting, I told you all how I'd been anemic and my Thyroid was off - well I think the new Thyroid meds are helping. I think I have a little more energy, but I am still just very out of shape and really need to lose some weight to start feeling better. So this is the week I really start trying. I am going to weigh in tomorrow morning and every day after. (Some people say that's not good, but for me it always helped) I will not have any pop, diet or regular, no chocolate, and will not eat within 3 hours of bedtime. These are my baby steps. And I am going to think of a reward for myself when I achieve a goal - Julie, I love that idea! I also need to plan my meals, I do much better when I know what I will be eating and when.

I think you two are right, I will regret if I don't go see Anne Rice. But it is a school night and we will probably get home late- may depend on if Erin has homework...

Have a great day all!

Mary
