I booked my ticket to Hawaii.  I'll be headed that way June 9-15/16.  I hope I don't get stranded in Phoenix though.  I just realized the connection there is only 33 minutes.  I might get stuck there for a few hours and following a red eye, that will not be a happy morning.  But I haven't ever missed a flight, so hopefully this won't be the time.

So this is a bit of a delayed Memorial Day post, but I was flying back from California all day yesterday so I couldn't update.  I always like Memorial Day.  I'm exceptionally patriotic (I even have a small American flag, tastefully displayed in my bedroom) and days like Memorial Day make me even more thankful to be an American.  Yes, we have a few ( Read more... )

 So I have decided to follow the godairyfree plan.  I will start on Tuesday, May 26, when I return from California.  I should be home for at least the 12-14 days required to follow the plan following that ( Read more... )

I might give up dairy.  Not permanently (unless it vastly improves my life).  I would like to try it.  Just to see if I can notice any positive changes in the way I feel or how my body works.  godairyfree.org has a pretty good 10 day program that I think I will try.  Other than cheese, I really don't consume much dairy, because when I do, it hurts ( Read more... )

I have lost two rounds with the waffle iron this week.  I was making such progress on my homemaking, too ( Read more... )
