Hey, everyone, it's late, late, late, but here I am. I'm usually here before this time of day. We went out shopping this morning for the items we would need for our little vacation next week. In case you missed it, we're going up to the White Mountains here in Arizona. Specificly, Hauley Lake. Of course, my hubby & I have never been there but my sister & BIL say it's great--& cool, temperature-wise. Besides my sister & BIL, there will be my Mom, maybe my brother, & my BIL's Mom & Dad. So that makes 8, I think, let's see, yes, 8 of us. We have rented a cabin that sleeps 11. It has 2 bathrooms too, thank goodness. It also has a front porch facing the lake, should be nice. Anyways, we will be busy the next few days getting stuff together for that, we leave on Tuesday. We each have our list of food & things to bring so we will be loaded down. It's about 4 hours or so from here & I dread the trip. I hate travelling by car (or van, as is our case), my hubby is a good driver but still I dread it. I've heard it's through the mountains & the Salt River Canyon with treachorous roads & hairpin curves & my hubby is not used to driving through that, but you know men (excuse me, men) he thinks it can't be that bad. I can remember some trips through Arizona when I was a kid that were pretty scary, I'll tell you. Oh, well, I'll just pray a lot, huh? You can all pray with me if you'd like, thank you. Sooooo, anyways, I did not have any exercise this morning & I'm sure that weight number up there is far from correct since I haven't been eating at all well. This trip is just throwing me all off (excuses, excuses!) but when we get back next Friday, I'm going gung-ho on my program from then on out!! 140, look out, here I come, do or die! Well, hope you're all doing great & having a good day. Thanks, Pushedtothewall, for your insight on the acidopholis, I tend to agree with you but I will probably try it once again after we get back from the trip & if the same thing happens, I'll know for sure that's what it was. Why I bought it anyway, I don't know, my Gyn is one of those pill pushers & recommends all kinds of vitamins & such for whatever ails you, she sells them in her office so I was talked into acidopholis & some expensive vitamins, so I guess I should at least take the ones I bought, huh? I hate to waste. Haven't tried the vitamins yet, one thing at a time. But I know I can't keep up the expense, gosh, my prescriptions cost us enough as it is. Oh, well, she caught me in a soft moment, I guess. So, guess I'll go now & see how you are all doing. Take care, everybody. Thanks for listening. PS. Gee, I typed all this up & realized I forgot to type in color--guess you just have to read black & white today, haha.
