Hi everyone!

Sandy, That is great news about you mom. I am sure she will be happier if she feels independent. There are a few hotel chains that have sleep number beds. You and Jim could go try one out one night. I think Hyatt's may have them, but I am not sure.

Sarah, I just wanted to add that I am also sorry that you felt bad while shopping. I agree with everyone that said that sizes seem be be smaller now. But I actually read that they are 2 times larger; that is, a size 10 today use to be a size 14. It is just that everyone is bigger. I choose not to believe this. Some of those L t shirts look like they are for 4th graders.

Frank, I will sometimes forget what day it is when school is out, and I do not have to go into teach.

I went up to Champaign/Urbana today to do some shopping. I was trying to find a lamp shade to replace the one that was broken by my adorable niece five minutes after she got to my house. I could not find one, but did buy some new sheets at Target. They are bamboo and really soft. A friend recommended them. I also picked up alot (for me) of organic fruits and veg's at Meijer's. I had a Weight Watcher's 5 point meal at Applebees. I am not sure it was worth the 5 points. (tilapia (was ok); about 1/4 cup mushy rice pilaf (Yuck!!!), and plain broccoli (no seasoning).
