Update!

Well, I am very, very grateful to report that we found the guy who hit Sammie and that he DOES in fact have insurance so that's ONE stress relieved. I really just need to relax a bit and get out of Roseville for the weekend but that's not going to happen for at least a few weeks. The kids both have a dance and parties afterwards Sat night so you KNOW there will be NO fun for the parents until they are safe at home. Next weekend is Adele's bday dinner with the girls and I am totally looking forward to that. We're going to that organic bistro on Eureka and I'm excited about that. So that leaves the weekend of Valentines Day. I know most people can't understand this but I think I'll block that weekend out and take Frank camping down at Verona. We can have a very romantic time down there on the river and I plan to do it up with a nice dinner, candles...the works. We really, really need it. I can just SMELL the stress on him lately and I feel the same way.

I read somewhere that stress makes it harder to lose weight. I think this must be true because I've been pretty darn good and even though I'm down a size (YIPPEE FOR ME!!!!) I can almost sense the weight "holding on" like a dog with a bone. I'm determined though. I have a dress I want to wear to my Grandma's bday and I HAVE to get into it by June. Its not super sexy or anything. Just a goal and its the cutest hippie chic dress from the Berryvale Health Food Market in Mt. Shasta. Stress be gone PLEASE...I need to get into that adorable frock. Sigh.
