Winter Weather Advisories and Cellulite

Let me first say, I am not an alarmist. Saturday morningI was at the gym in the middle of teaching my class when the snow started and it was only then I remembered we were low on milk and did not have any bread. I was forced to stop at A&P with the alarmists who think because it is snowing they will never be able to exit from their home or partake of another meal. While other shoppers were stocking up on canned goods and Ramen noodles, I was stocking up on M&M's, Oreo's and Tastycake! Now I know what you are thinking, with a basket loaded full of sugar and fat I am asking for trouble. I did have some healthy food in there as my dear husband requested I make my wonderful Foccacia Pizza for dinner. We ate the pizza for supper and rest is, as they say, history!

While snacking on M&M's I read "I'm No Hero" by Charlie Plumb. It is a terrific true story of how he survived almost 6 years in a POW camp in VietNam. I was riveted but was forced to put the book down to help my children thaw out from their excursions in the snow. Yesterday afternoon Kevin had to go into work and even though I was sad to see him go I always look forward to those times when I can lay in bed and read into the wee hours of the morning. Only a few more chapters and I will be finished with this book.

Press on....

Rembmber what I always told you about the dreaded word SNOW? God put it there and God will take it away. So much for shovelin! Let me know the end to the book you're reading. I always want to know about Americans who survive under those trying circumstances and continue to "PRESS ON".

Love

Dad

I think I would love to work as a grocery check out girl. I would have a blast looking at everything people buy. Is that weird? I'd give out recipes and ask what they were making...I'd be a real pest.
hehehe
