I love hearing from ya'll! YES on the harp music, LOL on Dave with the stick, We'll see about the popcorn. I wasn't led to give it up, it just seemed like the smart thing to do for a while as I was letting myself become enslaved to it. Have cautiously added it back in, because I don't want to get out in front of God. When HE is ready for me to give it up, I believe it will be so easy I won't even have to think about it. I will just wake up one day and realize I haven't had it for a long time. Hopefully!
Still no refrigerator, Pat & Pam. Believe me, I won't even wait for it to get cold before I post all about it! The Sears insert in today's KMart flyer has the fridge I want at a pretty good price. Please pray that the life insurance company stops jerking me around with processing this claim. They aren't disputing it, just making all kinds of mistakes and delays and excuses.
I was SOOO excited when I realized that by losing just two pounds a week, I could be well under my weight goal by the time we get to Key West ! ! ! I created a countdown chart to track my progress. (excerpt below) I can't figure out how to work the graphing program, so I'm drawing the lines manually.
The dates of my weekly weigh-ins are across the top. Weight numbers are listed in descending two pound increments down the left side. The diagonal red downward line represents a steady two pound per week loss. My actual weight loss since the contest began is marked by the green segmented line, which is currently significantly LOWER than the mean, so I am losing faster than two pounds per week. Here's hoping the green line doesn't cross to the right side of the red line too often!

Back to not sleeping again, for some reason. Feeling okay, nothing apparent is bothering me, just can't fall asleep until the sun starts coming up. Hmmm. . . Since I was awake, I spent some nice time with the LORD last night. Still didn't fall asleep, but at least it wasn't lonely. VERY sleepy now. I hate to go to bed with a full tummy right after dinner, but I'm about to fall out of my chair.
Talked to my girls today for about two hours each. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Joe graduated from college! His commencement exercises were Saturday. I didn't find out about it until they were over!
