Hi Sandy, Julie and everyone else.

Sandy, sounds like you are very busy but the things you are doing sound very interesting and fun to me.  Its not hard for me to have Christmas gifts ready because for years all my boys wanted was cash.  The only hard part is figuring out what to get papaw.  I think we have finally decided on the rest of his gift.  I bought both the boys a nice gift because I wanted them to have something to open and I will also give them both cash.  Will you be traveling for the holidays?

Julie, your soup sounds wonderful.  I need to make some but keep waiting until I have enough beef stock from roasts I have made and frozen.  I need to learn how to make the chicken noodle soup too.  Congrats on day two of good eating.  Thanks for letting me know about Angie.

I met up with both the boys for lunch today.  I had to take care of some things for yds.  Went grocery shopping and came home tired.  I didn't get enough sleep again.  I fixed supper and loaded the dishwasher and have it going.  My eating certainly has been nothing to brag about but I am going to point out what I did do right.  I am so good at pointing out all I don't do right so maybe I need to be a little better to myself.  I didn't put butter on my baked potato when we were at lunch and I didn't go back for a second plate of food for supper.  Its better than I usually do so its something.  Well I am off to watch tv and I hope everyone has a good evening.  Take care.
