Good morning Maria!! i had to laugh about the "wrong shoes"! My daughter and I had the same shoes when she was in high school and she was a whole sizer larger. Well, she grabbed the wrong shoes to take for gym the day they were running a timed 1 mile run! She had blisters and pain and she swears her feet were never the same after that!!!! Hope you have a great day! Lisa

MARIA - I just donated another box of books too. In the past two months I have let go of TWENTY LARGE see through plastic boxes of paper and a 4 drawer filing cabinet full of paper. Mostly design samples from 27 years in the industry, as well as duplicate photos and out of date tax information. Whew! I bet you feel lighter already!!! Love, Deb

Lisa - love the would your rather have a cookie pic! I'm person-ing a booth at a health and safety fair in a couple of weeks and I've totally gone the healthy angle. Have a poster about how many TBSP of sugar are in the 32 ounce drink.....

Good morning, Maria! Wishing you a wonderful day! I tried to get on the call last night with the wrong number that was posted and didn't see the correct one until too late, but I'm like you as we have a house full of healthy food, but sometimes I think I can get a bit heavy on portions! Or I don't eat enough, because I'm not hungry. That is another problem area for me! Take care, Lisa
