Is there room for someone new?
Hi everyone!
I've been on and off the LC veg diet for quite some time now...Last night, I made a decision to start the diet again- no cheats, no excuses...
I'm a vegetarian (hadn't had meat for over a decate!) and I follow Rose Elliot's plan (for her book).
I'm looking for support and companion... hope to find it here. I've been reading some of the threads- you all seem like very nice people.
I'm 25 and intrested in losing 12 lbs or so.
Also- English is not my native tongue, so I'm sorry in advanced for any language mistakes..
Nice to meet you Heather! Rose Elliott's plan is really good. Have you been using her recipes or coming up with your own recipes?
Your English is great :) What country do you live in?
Thanks guys!
Thanks for the warm welcome!
My first day went along okay- it's actually easier second time around...
I know it's probably just water, but I feel a change already...
And I'm from Israel :-)
Glad to hear your first day went well! Even if it was water weight, it still makes your clothes feel looser ;)
I lived in Israel for a number of years - in Jerusalem .. pretty good place to lowcarb! (although I was a highcarb vegetarian back then - and I am sure things have changed a lot since I was last there).
keep up the great work!
Israel is a great place to low carb- lots of places that serves salads and cheese so eating out is rather easy.
That's cool- how you used to live in Jerusalem. Small world!
Tomorrow Im going food shopping... Yay :-)
have fun shopping!!! lots of great vegetables!!
yahhhh small world, lol!!!! I bet it's a lot easier to find tofu there nowadays!
Heather87 :welcome: There will always be room here if we keep getting thinner! :D
Please share some of your recipes that might be different than what we eat here in the states. I love to try new and different flavors. Welcome!
Well, I usually stick to omlettes, tufo, veg and cheese.
I know that in the states it's hard to find low fat (5% fat and under), and altough fat is allowed on this diet, I still perfer to have low fat cheese- that way I can have more.
One basic recipe that comes to mind is something called "2-2-3 pie":
That means:
2 packs (250 grams each) of low fat cream/cottage cheese (I like to use one of each)
3 eggs
2 cups of vegetables of your choice.
You can add some olive oil on top.
Bake in a pre-heat oven 180C for 45 minutes or so.
I'll share some more later on- need to jog my memory :-)
I forgot-
Add a table spoon of baking power.
Also by 2 cups I meant 2 cups of chopped vegetables.
I usually use a mix of mushrooms- if you're using other vegetables, make sure you squeeze them real good so all the water's gone.
I made one last night and it's my breakfast and lunch for today :)
This recipe sounds good. Welcome!
Yes, the recipe does sound good and a little similar to a crustless quiche recipe I have. This one looks easier (and smaller ) too, (mine was for 9 x 13 pan) which is good when you are only cooking LC for one. :) Thanks!

Getting hits for being relevant
If you've ever worked as a reporter — or any kind of researcher — the instinct to follow a story persists. Sometimes, it pays off. For me, the turning point of this blog was when I got thousands of hits on a reblog about hurricane Sandy in November 2012.
November 2012 was something of a super month for bloggers. Between the presidential election and Hurricane Sandy, activity on the Internet was much greater than usual. Even people who were normally not especially interested were hopping online to follow current stories.
The thing was, the article that started bringing in all those hits was a reblog, or more accurately, a scoop. Anyone could have as easily read the same article on its original site. I was not at the top of a Google search. I tried using the phrase everyone else was using and Serendipity didn't come up. At all. So people were seeking me out. Rather than reading the original article, they came to my site. Even giving me a point or two for attractive presentation, there were more than enough stories on the same subject all over the Internet. I'm not being modest. I wanted to know: why me?
I decided to analyze what I did better or differently than others. I looked at the total content for days when my numbers were very high. I realized all involved current events that were unusually high-profile. My best days involved Hurricane Sandy (November 2012), the blizzard Nemo (February 2013) and the days leading up to and immediately following the storms. Also the beginning of the new television season, the Oscars (before, after and during) and (of course) the election. And sadly, the bombing at the Boston Marathon (April 2013). Plus every time they play the première episode of Criminal Minds.
When major events occur, I write about them. Not one story, but a series of posts. I start with an article that covers the main story, then add to it. If the initial story was reblogged — often the case — I add graphics and photographs. I add commentary and analysis. My additions are typically longer and more detailed than the original. I don't alter the original author's text and I always give credit, but I build on it.
In this case, the original post was a reblogged (using ScoopIt) standalone post. Using it as a jumping off point, I followed a trail. I gathered pictures, stories about hurricanes and other storms. I wrote about them from my perspective, if I remembered them. Then, I asked Garry — my personal treasure trove of first-hand experiences — to talk about his experiences during the Blizzard of 1978 and other storms.
I roamed the web to see what was happening in various places being hit by the storm. Although I focused on Sandy and it's impact on Coney Island, I discovered many other places along the coast which were equally affected. I posted what news I could gather about these areas.
I kept gathering and adding information, especially photographs, historical background and apocryphal stories. I just did what I always do when something interests me. I get into "bloodhound mode" and I followed the scent. The circles kept getting wider and including more locations, more events.
I eventually included stories not directly related to Sandy but which were thematically related. Other monster storms have paralyzed the Atlantic coast, some relatively recently. I love history so it was fun digging up historical information. Research can keep me glued to the computer for very long stretches. It's how I learn.
I googled "hurricanes past 100 years East Coast" and could have filled an encyclopedia with the results. Research became stories. I hunted down historical photographs. I remembered stories I heard from relatives and friends about storms. My husband covered every storm to hit New England for more than 30 years, so he is a nearly bottomless repository of great first person experience.
I ultimately produced a series of stories over almost a week. News, mood and background stories, data, photographs. I stitched them together. Each post was separate, but they formed a continuity. One thing led to another. When I thought about this storm, I remembered other storms, wrote about the storm that hit on my birthday in 1888 … and I offered facts, stories, and historical background, sidebars, and photographs.
The combination worked. Folks came to read one story and stayed to read many more. Some of them signed on as followers. It turned out that I didn't have such a huge volume of visitors, but everyone who did visit stayed and read as many as five or six stories. A lot of hits.
Since then, I have more visitors on a regular basis and most of them read at least two or more stories. It's not complicated:
- Be current. Don't ignore major events. You don't even have to write the stories yourself. Which brings me to the next point.
- If you don't like WordPress's reblog format, try ScoopIt. It seems a waste of time to write an essentially identical story when someone else has already done a great job writing it. Being relevant doesn't mean you have to write it, but at least include it by reference.
- When something signficant or interesting is going on in our world whether it's a national election, a hurricane, tsunami, the new television season or the upcoming Oscars, pay attention. You don't have to write about just that subject, but maybe you shouldn't completely ignore it either.
- It's fine to march to the beat of your own drum, but it's good to also pay attention to what the rest of the band is playing. If you march alone most of the time, occasionally it's not a bad idea to join the chorus … or sing counterpoint.
- If you can't be relevant because there are no big stories, be entertaining. Use those lemons to make delicious lemonade.
- Include lots of photographs.
Ivory towers can lonely. If you want company, you need to associate with the rest of the world and pay at least some attention to what interests them. If you write entirely for yourself, it's a diary, not a blog.

30,000 hits … Go figure.
It seemed appropriate — what with getting all these awards during the last few days — that this is the week I hit another landmark. On November 9th, I passed 20,000 hits and today, exactly 3 weeks later, I hit
From February 2012, through the end of September, I gathered 10,000 hits. It took me a slightly more than a month to get the next 10,000. On November 9, I was at 20, 783.
At 11:38 pm — right now — I am at 30,044, which is just about 10,000 hits in three crammed weeks.
When there's a lot of stuff going on, people come looking for more than information. We all want explanations, validation, confirmation that what we believe is right or what we disbelieve is wrong. Those of us who put ourselves out there gain a certain amount of popularity, maybe notoriety or at least a degree of attention in return for fending off a lot of flak for having expressed opinions with which others do not agree. I try to back my opinion with facts, at least as far as I am can establish whatever facts exist. In the end though, facts are slippery as eels, subject to innumerable interpretations. Statistics are easily twisted to support virtually any position. Numbers are neutral, but what we do with them is not.
November 2012 was a newscaster and blogger's dream. The richness of the available subject matter for a writer was unlimited. It gave me a lot of room to stretch my writer's wings, to try writing about things that would normally not fall in my purview.
The dreams of writers and reporters inevitably are built on events that are someone else's nightmare. Sometime since the advent of electronic media has come to dominate the news industry, news no longer means information about current events … what's happening. It used to be that news might be good or bad. News was merely "new." It was the newness that counted, not any predetermined content.
It's different now. Today, all news is bad news. "If it bleeds, it leads" is the unofficial motto of newsrooms around the nation and probably the globe. Violence and death draws an audience. If a story has a happy ending, it's likely relegated to feature status or considered "not newsworthy" and thus completely ignored.
Lacking fresh disasters, the next hot ticket in the news biz are scandals, financial crises, sports, weather, and anything happening to a celebrity. These days, we have celebrities who are famous for being famous. They've never done anything noteworthy. They don't act, sing, play an instrument or invent things. They aren't politicians or scientists. They are nobodies. I hope I am never desperate enough to write about any of them. Since I have pretty much no idea of who is currently famous, I'm unlikely to write about them. Most of the time, guests on talk shows are strangers to me. I can't tell one from another. Neither can my husband. If you are looking for the latest gossip, I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere. I have neither information nor opinions on the subject.
I plead guilty to enjoying lively discussion and controversy, though I require civility however much we disagree. I figure we should be able maintain the same level of manners in public disputation that we would demand of a 5-year-old. That has turned out to be an unreasonably high expectation when issues of national importance were under discussion. No kindergarten teacher would allow such appalling behavior from her charges, but we not only tolerate, but actually encourage worse behavior from public figures.
As angry as I have been about policies and issues, I have been far more upset by the bad behavior of public figures, many with advanced degrees slinging mud, calling names, and clearly trying to incite violence. There ought to be limits, there ought to be a level below which we will not sink. Watching "Lincoln" yesterday reminded me how uncivil our public behavior has been over the years. The difference between then and now is the presence of electronic media that allows everyone to immediately see — in real-time — how ill-mannered we really are. It used to be a dirty little secret; now it's an international embarrassment.
The sheer energy generated by so many major events occurring at the same time helped me gain an audience at a faster rate than I could have done had there not been so many important events occurring. There was Sandy, the giant storm. A storms is inherently uncivil. Storms have an excuse. They have no brain cells, just mighty wind, rain or snow … so a storm has an excuse for mindlessness, but what excuse can there be for people like Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck? Perhaps they too lack brain cells. But more likely, they simply like a conscience and the level of manners required of a pre-schooler.
I get a reasonable number of regular visitors these days. I'm not exactly viral but I have an acceptable following. The number of visitors rises and falls according to some invisible tide over which I have nominal control . When Serendipity's visitor count first popped up from 70 or 80 on a good day to over a thousand, I figured it was a fluke and would fizzle. As I expected, the visitor count has leveled off, but apparently people who initially dropped by for a particular post continued to return for other things. I am more inclined to trust the new, steadier numbers I get now than the wild up and downs surges of early and mid November.
It's harder to find relevant, exciting content when there are no super exciting events in progress, but I try to stay relevant, try to find interesting subjects. Maybe make a few people laugh or at least smile. I like offering historical background for whatever is going on, the rest of the story we didn't get in elementary school. Understanding the world is easier if you have the perspective of history. Context counts.
Thanks for reading, thanks for being my friends and making me feel that I'm still a real live part of the living world. Let's all hope that this year is going to be a better one than last year. Maybe less full of news, but more full of joy!

You apply online then you may be selected to a phone interview. Then you may be selected to the inperson group interview. I didnt get past the phone interview, though I hit t off with my interviewer. It's understandable--I know the interviewers don't have power over who can move on or not just because you had a great conversation. It was a behavioral interview, so be prepared for that. They really look for leaders and people who overcome hard situations who are good problem solvers and multitaskers.Interview Questions

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Teach for America.Interview Details
The initial step of the process is a lengthy application, complete with GPAs by school year, personal statements and short answer questions, examples of your leadership, etc.
After this step, they notify the applicants that are moving to the next round that they must have a phone interview. Roughly 50% of applicants will be released after this round, as their website states.
Following this interview, you will either be released or invited to the final round. Before the final interview, you must then complete an online task which includes a timed exam to measure your critical thinking skills, followed by a few short answer questions which are not timed. Bonus points for incorporating any of their values in this step! There isn't much you can do to prepare for this portion, it's just a way to measure how quickly and accurately you are able to analyze situations.
The day of the final interview, you will be in a group of 6-12 other applicants and 2-4 interviewers. You must first give a 5 minute teaching sample. This was kind of a waste of time, but whatever, it's required. Afterward there is a "group task," basically to see how you are able to collaborate and work with others. This was easy, they give you a situation which you resolve alone, then come back together to discuss it as a group. My whole group agreed, so we didn't have much to talk about. Lastly will come the actual interview. At this point, there isn't much about you that they don't already know. ALL of my questions were repeated directly from my phone interview, which was extremely frustrating.
After the final round, they will give you 2 weeks to wait until you hear back, and then will have 2 weeks to accept the job or not.Interview Questions

Myles' Weekend Adventures: Bonjour mon amis! Comment ca va? Myles Shaffer here. I can't think of a single thing to rant about, so let us get to the discussion of beautiful women without further ado.
The Little Sisters
Thursday evening, October 12Th, I drove out to the Ontario Deja Vu Gentlemen's Club to see and meet, "The Little Sisters," duo act for the first time. "The Little Sisters," consist of Luscious Little Lacy and Little Pixie, who are really sisters and the family resemblance is so strong as to be quite obvious. They both also just happen to be dwarfs.
Lacy featured at Jerry Westlund's Fantasy clubs back in mid November 2004, but for one reason or another, I did not go to either club to meet her. Then, as my executive-vice-president-in-charge-of-back- seat-driving and our youngest son were passing through El Paso, Texas, at approximately 2:30 in the morning, December 16, 2004, I glanced over at a club that sits on the north side of I-10 a couple of miles east of the downtown area. (the Red Parrot, I believe it is named.) There, in front of the club was a big sign announcing that Luscious Little Lacy was featuring there that weekend. I told my V.P., "Look! That is the same lady that I failed to go see, when she was in L. A. last month. We are already a couple of hours behind schedule, it is too cold for you two to have to sit in the car while I go in that club, and it is late enough that she has no doubt already finished for the night and left the club anyway. You know, I think maybe somebody is trying to tell me something. Maybe I should go to see and meet Lacy, if I'm ever given another chance to do so." So that is what I did, obviously.
When, "The Little Sisters," took the stage for the one show I saw, they were both dressed as cats but were unique in that their costumes didn't exactly match even though they were similar.
The ladies danced to a good musical selection, and they performed so well as many features I've seen. Also, their interaction with the tip rail customers was quite adequate.
Lacy and Pixie are both well spoken, appear to enjoy meeting the fans, and I found them to be enjoyable to be around.
I haven't been able to find anything in the way of pictures or information on the Internet for either of these ladies. Maybe somebody else will have better luck.
Before I move on to other things, I would like to say a little about a beautiful house dancer I met in this club who goes by the stage name of Cameron.
Cameron's beauty, while impressive, was not what originally caught my undivided attention. It was her pole work. I know some of the best pole dancers in the industry, both house dancers and features, and I thought that I had seen it all. I was wrong! When I saw Cameron dance, she performed on the pole in a way I have never seen before.
While I didn't have time to find out for myself, I can only hope that Cameron's lap dances are so good as her stage performances and her pole work.
If anybody finds themselves in Ontario, and they have a little extra time on their hands, go to the Deja Vu, locate Cameron, say hello, and purchase a few dances. I myself just may return to that club in the near future to take my own advise. What can I say? I'm really curious.
Adriana Sage
After saying goodnight to Lacy and Pixie, I left the Deja Vu and raced on out to the Rialto Spearmint Rhino to finish my evening off in the good company of Adriana Sage and to observe her last show of the evening.
Adriana is a lovely Hispanic lady with a nice looking body. She is intelligent, friendly, has a great sense of humor, and enjoys meeting her fans.
This lady's stage performances get better every time I seen her. She already performs so well as most of the features I've seen over the years, and better than some. Her musical selection is good, her costumes are always cute, appealing, and quite sexy, especially after they are lying on the stage floor! Also, her interaction with randomly selected tip rail costumes is quite adequate.
Adriana Sage is well worth the drive to a nearby club to see her perform and to meet her in person.
Adriana can be ogled at: AdrianaSage.com
Hannah Harper
Friday evening, October 13Th, I drove to the downtown Los Angeles Spearmint Rhino to observe Hannah Harper's first show of the evening and to say hello.
For this particular show, Hannah wore a costume consisting of black, ankle-high, boots, a pink latex skirt, a black latex top, and a pink latex tie, and did she ever look good in it!
The tempo of this show was somewhat slow paced, sensuous, and laid back. The musical selection was good, and Hannah's performance was enticing.
Hannah's interaction with the customers is limited to lots of good, close up, looks at the goodies, and many sweet, sexy, smiles. However, nobody seemed to mind the lack of up close, personal, and in your face, least of all me! Just one of Hannah's smiles can practically melt me in my tracks!
Hannah Harper is another beautiful young woman, with a delightful British accent, whom I believe is well worth the drive to a near by club to see and meet her in person, so do not pass up any opportunity that might come along.
Check out Hannah at: HannahHarper.net
Alexis Amore
After saying goodnight to Hannah, I went to the new Los Angeles Rouge Gentlemen's Club, formerly one of the Silver Reign clubs, to say hello to Alexis Amore and to observe one of her shows.
I have written about Alexis enough times now that I really can't think of anything new to say. So, I will simply say that she is an excellent feature. She is also a very sexy and exotic looking woman who is quite friendly, intelligent, has a great sense of humor, and is an absolute pleasure to be around.
Do not ever pass up an opportunity to go to a club to see Alexis perform and to meet her in person. She will not disappoint. Alexis is well worth the drive to a club where she is performing even if it is a couple of hundred miles away!
Alexis can be ogled at: ClubAlexis.com
Nicki Hunter
Saturday night, October 24Th, I drove up to the Santa Barbara Spearmint Rhino to spend a good part of the evening with Nicki Hunter and to observe her first two shows of the evening.
As I have said in the past, Nicki is well worth the drive to a club to see her perform and to meet her in person.
Nicki's shows are always entertaining, and her interaction with the customers is off the charts!
Ms. Hunter is a very friendly, intelligent, fun loving woman with a wonderful sense of humor. This lady is a bundle of laughs to be around. And, for those of us who are fortunate enough to know Nicki personally, she is a great and very loving friend to have!
Nobody should ever miss a chance to see Nicki Hunter perform and to meet her in person. She is a lot more fun than sitting at home watching bad television!
Nickixxx.com is still under construction, but a person can still check Nicki out at: Nicki-Hunter.com

I�ve been thinking a lot lately about my current circumstances and the path that I took to get exactly where I am today. I also spend time thinking about the future, as unpredictable as it is, wondering where I�ll be in 1, 5, or even 10 years from now. Every time I get to thinking about it I come back to the same realization. That the power to change lies within myself and that I can use it anytime I need to. (Deep stuff, I know.)
A little over 6 months ago I made a major life change. I�d known for some time that I was unhappy in my situation, but I would tell myself often, �You�ve made your bed and now you have to lie in it.�. This is a very unhealthy mentality that I think a lot of us have. Change is scary. And even when things get really, really bad we make excuses to ourselves to avoid any type of change. We are always so afraid of what could go wrong that we lose sight of all the things that could go right.
One day I woke up.
And it was terrifying. I decided to leave the man that I�d spent the last 8 years of my life with, the father of my child. I decided to leave the home that we had together. I feared that I would lose friends. Or that I would end up alone. Or that my son would suffer. So many things. But I was unhappy, and I took a leap.
I�ll tell you what happened though. Some of my fears came to life. Leaving was one of the HARDEST things I�ve ever done in my 26 years of life. I lost friends. I lost my home. I spent countless nights crying completely consumed by my fears that I would be alone. But, as time began to pass, I started to see things differently. Those friends I lost? They were no real friends of mine. My true friends were still there when I needed them. My home? Hardly. It was just a building. I have my own dainty little apartment right now and I�m in the process of purchasing a home exactly where I want to be about a half hour from where I live now. And those countless nights of crying and loneliness? Well, I realize now that it was simply grief. I was grieving the loss of the �old me�. The old Andrea died. And the only way to move on and become the �me� that I am today, was to acknowledge and grieve the loss.
The Andrea that is here today appreciates the experiences that have led me to where I am. She is happy. She still has bad days, but she recognizes them for what they are. Bad days. Not a bad life. She doesn�t accept abuse in any form. Mental or physical. She commands respect. And she will never settle again for less than she is worth.
My son has adjusted well to the change. In fact, he is better now than he was before. I can see the weight that has lifted off of his shoulders since the change. He appears to be happy.
And as far as the loneliness, it�s still there sometimes. But, I surround myself with my closest friends. And I realize that I need to be good with myself before I can be good for another person. I know better than to jump into a meaningless relationship only to repeat my past�s mistakes. For the time being now, I�ve decided to focus on myself. I�ve been working out and training for my upcoming race. I�ve been trying to eat right and track my food. I play on a volleyball team with my friends. I spend time reading and I�ve toyed with the idea of taking up a new hobby.
I�ve shared a lot of my personal feelings here. I�m getting to know this new me. And I hope that what I have to share speaks to someone else. The power to change lies within us all. Don�t settle for less than you�re worth!
I haven't posted a blog entry in quite some time... I've been sparking through the mobile app mostly. I got on here today though (because I am in an exceptionally good mood and want to spark with my buddies)... and took a look at my last blog entry from July 16th 2013. A LOT has changed for me since the day I made that post.
The same week I made that entry I broke up with my boyfriend of 8 years. A couple of weeks later I moved out and got my own apartment. It's hard to believe now that this all happened 6 months ago. Before you go worrying about me though I will stop you. I am SO much happier on my own and really I wish I had made the decision to leave sooner. I've been on a journey of self discovery these last few months and I feel like I'm starting to get comfortable in my own skin again.
I've lost 7 pounds since I restarted my program. And I'm signed up for the "Truffle Shuffle" 4-mile race Valentine's Day weekend. I've got 3 weeks and my mini-goal is to lose 5 more pounds before that day. I'm really excited. I get a t-shirt that declares my "singledom" and it's the first race I've ever done completely on my own. I'm hoping to meet some new people and just spend the morning enjoying where I'm at in my life right now.
I will probably be sharing much more over the next several weeks... A lot of life changes and all that business. But, I have a positive outlook and I'm looking forward to all of the great things 2014 will bring to my life. I hope all is well for my fellow spark friends and I hope to hear from you all soon!
Have a great week everyone!
Normally Tuesday is my most despised day of the week... Seriously. There is soo much week left. And it always goes by more slowly than Monday. HOWEVER, I have a sushi date tonight with Muffin and I am very excited. I haven't had any since our cruise in April and I have a hankering. Plus, it's a much needed girl date that I expect will help me through some of this awful anxiety I've been experiencing. I need some release.
I also wanted to share this little motivational picture I found on Pinterest today:
I've been struggling with a few things happening in my life... And I'm sure there are others out there feel the same way. I need to remember that I am in control of my own destiny... And it's never too late to change.
I hope you all are having a great week. Tata!
It was a long day back at work today after a weekend that wasn't quite long enough....The wedding I went to on Saturday was fun, but drama filled as well. Ugh. I'll spare the details but basically I feel a little sheepish about some drunken shenanigans. I'm trying to bounce back today... And I REALLY want to go running but I'm still recovering from a stress injury I got when I went running last Monday. Soooo... I worked out in the pool instead. And I feel a little better now. It really is amazing what a good workout can do for your mind as well as your body.
A prouder note though: The no smoking thing is going well. It's getting a little more bearable each day. And tracking on SP is helping me to not eat my feelings. I know I'll get through this.
I don't have much more than that. Oh. Besides the fact that I want to try myself at WWE style pro-wrestling. New aspiration.
Have a great week guys.
So, a few weeks ago I bought this awesome Kitchen Aid hand mixer. Best new gadget I've bought in a while. I've been substituting a smoothie for lunch everyday this week. They've been delicious, nutritious, and easy AND I've noticed my belly bloat going down already.
Today's Smoothie:
1/2 C Greek Yogurt, vanilla
1/2 2% milk
1 C Spinach
6 Strawberries
1/2 C Blueberries
1/4 C Blackberries
1 tsp honey
Before mixing.
After mixing.
Seriously, so good. And I feel really good about drinking it.
And moving on, I had a half day at work today. It's been a long week. But, I got to go to Target and shamelessly drop $200 since BF got paid today. We have a friend's wedding tomorrow and I'm excited to wear the new dress bought. I'll put a picture up on Sunday.
Oh! And I bought a new scale. But, I refuse to step on it until tomorrow morning. I'll update then.
That's all I've got today. TGIF ---- Toodles.

Lizz Winstead, comedian and creator of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," was heavily criticized after jokingly saying Monday's deadly tornado in Oklahoma had "been ordered to only target conservatives.
"This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives," she tweeted.
Winstead clearly did not consider the insensitivity of her disgusting joke. As of 9:45 p.m. ET, the tornado had killed at least 51 people and the death toll was expected to rise.
More than two hours after her "joke," Winstead tweeted the following apology:
"Made a political joke, Twas before devastation revealed. In hindsight, had I understood, I would have refrained. Beyond sorry."

BALTIMORE (AP) — The lopsided score suggests the Baltimore Ravens solved some of their glaring offensive issues after a lackluster start to the preseason.
After failing to notch a touchdown in their exhibition opener last week, the Ravens will gladly build on the welcome improvement.
Rookie backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, the first ending with Jalen Parmele's go-ahead 10-yard TD run with 7:16 remaining, and the Ravens rallied for a 31-13 victory over the winless Chiefs.
"You work hard and you want to see your hard work pay off," said running back Ray Rice, who ...

OP computer scam victim warns others
Updated On: Dec 11 2012 09:27:37 PM CST
An Overland Park man who said he was scammed out of hundreds of dollars is sharing details of his experience so that others don't fall for the same scheme.
Sam Sparks said he got a call from what he thought was a Microsoft technical support team last week and didn't think much of it at first.
"I was told I had a computer problem and there was a virus that attacked my computer and they wanted to fix it," he said.
But when the person on the phone said the virus would affect his hard drive, Sparks said that's when he started to worry.
"They started walking me through on how to fix my computer," he said.
He said before he knew it, he was watching the cursor move across the computer screen, even though he wasn't touching the mouse.
"I was being redirected to other website areas and I was no longer in control, other than agreeing to click on certain things," he said.
Sparks said after about five to 10 minutes, the caller asked for payment for the service. He said he agreed because he was told the fee was just $9, and he gave the caller his credit card information.
"He told me, it was denied," Sparks said. "He asked me if I had another credit card and I informed him I did. And we tried it and it was denied also."
He said that's when the red flags started going up.
"The first charge was for the amount of $942 and the second time, they charged a little over $450," he said.
He said he was duped out of nearly $1,500 within a few hours.
Microsoft's website warns consumers that it recently released a security update and that scammers may use that to trick people into downloading malicious software or to steal personal information.
"(With) the speed of the Internet, everything happened so quickly," Sparks said. "There was no indication as to where this would proceed and that was the scary part."
Microsoft said it will never make cold calls to charge customers for computer security or software fixes.
