Time for an update

Boy I'm really longing for warmer days right about now! We've been having colder than normal temps, but I think most of you guys have been too. Warmth cannot come soon enough. So I pulled this cutie from my archives. He's here to ask you all to please check the 'blogroll' link there on the left and make sure you're on it and that the info is correct. If you're not or I need to change things, please leave me the title you'd like, your url and the state or country you're blogging from.

And btw, we signed up for the weight race again this year, trying to finish off those extra pounds.  And to help encourage us we started a blog where we'll both post.  So, if you're interested in hearing about diet food and exercise and results you can find it at "No Weighting".

Thanx for being my bloggy friends! (((hugs)))

Hope

Things have been crazy here, not in the house, but in my mind, it's just all over the place!  But I have to thank you guys!  Whatever you're doing is totally helping.  When I went for my scan yesterday I was amazingly calm and I think it's all these great vibes you all are sending.  I was freaking out quite a bit Sunday afternoon but I woke up calm and remained calm.  We're on the downhill slope now.  I'll get results next Monday.
