Well, the problem is that I started thinking, "Oh, cool! I can eat whatever I want now!" and lost control again. I didn't gain anything over Thanksgiving, but just this week I discovered that I gained 5 pounds. That's really not much, in light of how much I lost, so I'm not upset about it, but it was a wake-up call reminding me that I will always have to be careful. So getting to the gym will help me even more.
Didn't like the dog much because it was a whippet and always wanted to sleep under the covers becaues he was cold, and crammed his bony body next to me. Yucky. 
She filled him in on everything and when she told him I'm single, she says his eyes got wide and he told her he's divorced and wishes he could reconnect with me, so she gave him my phone number. 
Something really cool happened to me today! Many years ago, I managed a Subway (the sandwich shop) for about 6 years and the owner and I got along really well. His name is Blake and eventually I started dogsitting for him whenever he travelled. I loved doing that because he had a really big, expensive, luxurious apartment!
Anyway, Blake and I went out on a couple dates and hit it off really well. But he's much older than I am, and that was a problem for him, I think mainly because we were at such different stages in life. He wanted to have a family and I wasn't ready to settle down. I was still trying to finish college, working towards my Bachelors degree. He had graduated from U of M, went through his wild days, etc. and owned 4 Subway stores. SO, we agreed that things wouldn't work for us and both moved on.
As the years passed, I lost contact with him. I knew he had married and had a daughter. I think about him now and then, but haven't talked to him in about 13 years. Just yesterday, I was really thinking about him LOTS and how I wonder what things would have been like with him, how his family is doing, what sort of dad he is, if he's still married, etc. Today, my best friend from back home (Shelly) called me to tell me she just ran into Blake Christmas shopping and the whole conversation involved him asking about me, where I am, if I'm single, how I've been, if I have kids, etc.
What a coincidence, with how much I'd been thinking about him just yesterday! Because of how interested he seemed, Shelly told me if I don't hear from him this weekend, I should look him up and give him a call because she thinks he might be nervous to call me after all these years, but she could see his clear interest, so I think I will!
This sounds romantic.
I know! I really hope he calls me!Oh my!!!!!!
Actually, I'm going to give him a choice between that or going to see Alvin & the Chipmunks. I want to do both, so I'll let him pick. 
And since tomorrow is supposed to be so crummy, I think we'll make Christmas cookies!
So we have groceries and hot chocolate and we're ready for the storm tonight & tomorrow. It didn't snow long earlier. The weather guy says the storm isn't supposed to start until around 10pm tonight. Up to 7 inches overnight and up to another 7 inches by tomorrow evening. I think we'll go out tonight since tomorrow should be the yucky day. A huge church here in town is doing Scrooge. They've done it for many years and this is the last weekend of the show. It's a 2 hour show, and I'm not sure Tyler would sit through something that long, but we're going to give it a try.
What the heck is "Chick-Fil-A" ? says the girl from Silicon Valley
Well, the hospital just called and they have been able to completely ween Frank off of the artifical heart!! We are waiting for the snow to get here...so I went ahead and cooked dinner early (just about ready) and Don and I are going to the hospital.
He is still in a coma and he is still on the ventalator....but this is a very big step. His heart is finally working on its own!!
They are hoping to bring him out of the coma some tonight, so Don and I want to be there.....
Thanks to all for listening me though this.....it really helps to type your thoughts out!!
