and brain freeze itermitent. That's me today in a nut shell. How is christmas suppose to get done? I still have over half my shopping to do.

I KNOW, Christmas is not about gifts and food, but with 9 grandkids and wonderful adult children it is a time when we all get together at the same time. the kids don't understand why things aren't the same as always. I guess I'm just having a pity-party today. Sorry.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
