The one great thing about my day is that I don't have to pack my lunch everyday!!! 4 gals at work are doing Weight Watchers and asked me to be in their lunch club. We bring lunch once a week to be shared with the other 4 gals and then I am served lunch on the other days!!! My day is Monday

i do have good news! i picked up some private yoga clients today. just when i was worried about income....i am so blessed.

burnt broccoli is a sara molten recipe from the food network. you just chop up broccoli. line a pan with foil and spray with PAM. then set oven for 400 dgrees. place broccoli on sprayed pan and bake until some of the tops of the broccoli start to look a little burnt. then sprinkly salt and pepper and eat. believe it ot not, it brings a nice nutty flavor to the broccoli. yummy and healthy.

Is burnt broccoli a recipe or a mistake???

my bleeding has been so funky as i am getting into my late 30s. i have seen doctors and they just say my body is changing and i should take more pain killers. i actaully had less pain this time around with the heavy bleeding, which was a pleasant surprise. just some fatigue.

Hope you are feeling better. Seems like your heavy bleeding lasts a while...have you talked to your doctor about this? My heavy time lasts 2 days and then trickles to nothing for a day. I have really bad cramps for 2 days and then back to normal. It sure sucks!

Cheers to a great week for both of us.
