Soooo my Christmas shopping is almost completely done...I just need to buy a tree and pay out $125 in cash to my older sons...I can not get over the fact that I have $30 leftover from my budget....heck two years ago I had to put $300 on my visa cause I bought 6 grams of coke instead of presents...my husband gave me a certain amount to spend and I've been going nuts with my receipts in hand, adding it up...about 7 times already...lol....I'm just not used to keeping within a certain amount of money and really, really sticking to it. Guess I will have to buy my hubby an extra something, cause lord knows I've spoiled myself..heeheehee...

I can hardly wait to go hug my tree tomorrow!

(okay, I've had an artificial for the past 8 years and forgot that real trees smell so good...lmao)

According to quitnet, I have saved $143 not smoking....I am soo guilty of buying a bag of Dove dark chocolate the other day though...


I just got off the phone with my dr...since September my cholesterol has gone from 264 to 136....holy shiznit! My triglicerides are still high though...crestor and omacor brought the cholesterol down...

Janet my cholesterol went from 390 to 205 but the tryc. are still high. I take Vytorin its the seroquel according to the doctor??

You cant win.

Hope your feeling O.K -Cortisone shots help?

Have a good night--Jeff


P.S man I did a 360 with my diet but the Vytorin keeps the cholesterol # down.

Dark chocolate -- -not milk chocolate-- is a potent antioxidant, report Mauro Serafini, PhD, of Italy's National Institute for Food and NutritionNutrition Research in Rome, and colleagues. Their report appears in the Aug. 28 issue of Nature. Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments

They ya go Janet- Dark chocolate - Guilt Free !!!
