I adapted the page I sent you as a handout from a book. Feel free to send it on if anyone asks you for it. Good luck! Kathy, I can’t find it online either.

And they're usually just before or after recipes for holiday sweets. (Oh, you forgot one part of the hot water/bran cookie/flax seed/eurasian purification diet -- I'm sure it includes the added benefit of no exercise. Don't they always?)

I never keep them anyway. Although whenever I get the January magazines with their articles about the 350 pound woman who lost 200 pounds (and kept it off!) with the hot water/bran cookie/flax seed/eurasian purification diet, I do get an urge to try the weight loss resolution. I almost always come to my senses, though, and eat a twinkie. I made a resolution not to make resolutions. I never keep them anyway.

It got a lot of discussion, media and otherwise, I suppose because it generated an almost universal "that coulda been me!" shudder. After that we saw what DH calls the Fascist Towers show up in parking lots all over town. You know, those things that scissor up off the truck to give the cops more visibility. I don't know why they creep him out so much, but they sure do. But yes, online shopping is the answer. To everything! And best of luck with that running program. A friend of mine who had never run in her life started training for triathlons when she turned 50. So I know it can be done.

Yikes! Yet another reason to shop online. We're doing some of that preparation ourselves. Updating the wills, etc. I don't think orderly closets are in my future, but maybe I can get everything filed where it belongs. Maybe. Success with the running program is a lot more likely. :) Getting shot in the mall parking lot? Yikes! Yet another reason to shop online.

Not in a "prepared to meet my Maker" kind of way, but just in a very practical sense, with orderly closets and files and stuff. If I get shot dead in the mall parking lot one day (and the odds on that do seem to be increasing) I don't want the husband and kids to have an incomprehensible mess to dig through. I've always found the "imagine the worst case scenario, then how you'd deal with that" method of coping with worries to be very effective. So I figure if I can get this managed, it will give me a lot of peace of mind.
