Re: Mel from Bama

Ok Mel, GET OUT OF MY BRAIN! LOL, I swear last night I had our wills

out on my lap and was discussing cremation etc with Ray (it is what

we both agreed upon and put in our wills - half the ashes to bury,

half to keep forever, give to the kids, or scatter to the winds.) OK,

we are not even married yet but we did wills, and advance directives

long ago, just to be prepared! (SO I AM a little Obsessive

Compulsive....I LIKE being prepared!)

Ok, we don't have a Winn Dixie out here, I wonder how well shrimp

would hold up sending it UPS? Hmm...LOL, my kids are BEGGING to go to

their dad's for the weekend, he feeds them pizza and candy, and

cereal 5 times a day if they want, but I won't argue, I get a break

for the wekend and they get spoiled for a few days! Poor thinghs act

like they are starving to death!

Good for Tom, that 3 pounds probably feels like 10! I know Ray is

losing slow but steady and he is happy with the way he feels, (HEHE,

I kinda like the way he feels too!)

Deviled eggs?? YUMMY! MY favorite but they sure make for some nasty

ass farts when the kids get ahold of them! I made boiled eggs and

chopped them up for Ray and he is going to make egg salad out of

them, has to eat it wthout bread but he is finally adjusting to the

loss of bread and tortillas (a Mexican without his tortillas, there

is nothing sadder, he actually pouts!) but he knows that he needs

this and that it will get better and easier as time passes and he

loses a few more pounds. Thank God he loves salads and meat and eggs

though! Unlike me, he CAN eat the same thing every day without

getting bored, I get really cranky!!

have a great day Mel!
