Grandbaby Update

I have to admit to being a leetle beet teepsy at the moment, so I'm going to wuss out on my post for today and give you an update on Melissa. She is SO AWESOME to send me regular pictures. I don't think she'll ever know how much I appreciate it. I swear that I …

The Saddest Thing I’ve Ever Heard

I bit the bullet and signed up for a "MyFitnessPal" account. When did it happen that I needed HELP accomplishing anything!? I've always been very self sufficient. When I set my mind on something, I get it. There's nothing else to it. I just get it! Why is this quest for weight loss so much …
