    Not Disney, but Las Vegas

    Perhaps there are some seasoned travellers here who could recommend a town car or limo service in Las Vegas? I've never been there before & would like to avoid what I hear are very long shuttle bus transports in Vegas. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Beth

    On the road to a healthy ME! Jog along with me!

    Hey Wendy! I'll be thinking of your dad tomorrow. Hopefully the ultrasound will give you some good news, and at least you'll know a little bit more. I think the most frustrating thing about supporting someone who is dealing with their health is the endless piece by piece info gathering. We...

    Well, if this is any indication of how my diet is going: 3 cold crab rangoons & coffee for breakfast. Hmmm. Not good. The rest of the day wasn't so bad: an Atkins shake for lunch with a side of a low carb finger cake, then home (my evil time is right when I get home in the afternoon, the kids...

    Colleen: you are amazing to get up and work out at 6:45 in the morning! And, I will tell you that even being able to think of a 2 mile run as a "jaunt" shows how amazing you are! After I read your journal, I started to feel a little confident so I ran my dog back up the 1/4 mile hill to our...
