January One Stop Chat Spot

Tanya - that does sound yummy. I will look for spaghetti squash this week. Tmz - a few years ago, someone told me 'today is the coldest day of my life.' I asked how he had kept track, and he said it was the coldest day in 60 years...so it was the coldest day in my life too...9 is actually not that bad if you dress for it. But it akes a lot longer to put on underwear, camisole, tights, pants, blouse, sweater, socks, shoes, scarf, coat, another scarf, hat, gloves, than in the summer when it's underwear, bra, dress, sandals out the door...plus the laundry piles up fast. And I say go for the second gym membership. Pretend it's preschool for your daughter. Surely the other little darlings will teach her some cute toddler tricks... My gym was Zooey tonight. At one point I counted ten people all clustered around in one little area. I lift part of the time in the 'big guy' room, and it wasn't busier than usual but all of the balls were trapped in ball class... Have a great Friday everyone! SJ

Liz, Sorry to hear about your foot pain. A trick I use is to fill a deepncontainer(I use axwastebasket) with water and ice. Then put your foot in and write the alphabet with your big toe. There is something about the movementplus the time in the cold tsp helps. I too am riveted by the election. Massachusetts is such a liberal area (at least here in the city) that it doesn't't seem possible that other parts of the country are so far to the right. The highlight of my Sundy mornings is 'Meet the Press'. Not the same without Tim Russert who was so good at calling people liars without saying the words...but I think it is still the best hour on tv each week. At the gym, they know iam a sports fanatic but occasionally my political love shows - I look forward to the conventions this summer, although they are so staged now they aren't as fun. But think of the Republicans going to the convention with a three way split, and Julianni or Christy or Palin riding in on a white horse to take itall.. Did you ever read the book 'Convention'? I can't remember the author and an't find it via google..but bit was a fictional story of the behind the scenes events at a convention..I have it on thevCape and wil lookmfor the author next time I am there. Happy weekend. SJ
