DYK I typed about 4 different titles - all stupid. The one I landed on isn't all that great... but whatever!!


dyk and I had such a BAD day with the kids...and I do mean bad, terrible, horrible, made me want to cry, have an anxiety attack driving down the highway bad....


dyk that I decided even though we're 20 minutes from the New York New Year - it would make me happy to start this?

DYK oh poor Jada! I hope she (and you too, of course) feel better soon!

DYK my fresh start is Tuesday, which is when I'll be back home.

DYK tonight we're going out to dinner to Old Spaghetti Factory (it's where we always got for birthdays in my family). I'll get ww pasta, which is good, but I also made cookies and cream cupcakes. Yum!

DYK I love mysteries! They are my absolute favorite, and I've read a lot of the authors you mentioned. I also love true crime - Ann Rule is my favorite true crime author.

DYK I don't think I've read any medical thrillers though. Sounds interesting!

DYK I am the complete opposite. Too many days without some fresh veggies, and I crave them like crazy! The past few days have been like that. A few nights ago, I ate about a pound of roasted brussels sprouts and some chard with onions for dinner. Last night I had a bunch of kale and spinach.

DYK even at Spaghetti Factory tonight, I'll probably order a large side of broccoli to go with my pasta.

DYK it sounds like you've gotten a lot better about it, which is great!

DYK I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I missed have portioned out desserts (like fudgesicles) because they were great for portion control.

DYK well I found something that may work for me!

DYK these chocolate bars have probiotics in them, so they're kind of healthy, and they're only 80 calories. I just ordered some (for a lot cheaper than they are on that site) from the organic food store we order from. Hopefully, this helps me to have something sweet in the evening without going overboard.

dyk, that's a good question...I've had a package from amazon replaced that was supposedly delivered. They did replaced it without any trouble...then again, it was only a book and two DVDs

dyk, last year when I ordered my Wii UPS delivered it and said that I signed for it. Which would have been really difficult since they delivered it in the middle of the afternoon while I was at work. When I contacted UPS/Gamestop they basically told me that there was nothing they could do for me unless the package was returned to Gamestop. Fortunately, my neighbor had picked it up...no one had signed for it, UPS just left it in the lobby.

dyk, the part that bugged me the most was that the package from UPS required a signature and they just left it, but often I'll get packages from amazon that don't require a signature and the USPS won't leave them in the package box

dyk, I hope you can find the package...did you check with the neighbors? Or maybe your cleaning woman was in and signed for it?

dyk checked everywhere


dyk I know that a lot of the packages that should have been signed for were just left at the back door


dyk we ordered a Wii fit for my niece that should have required a signature was just left


dyk I didn't catch it earlier because I also ordered a Guitar Hero for my nephew but that was for X-box


dyk I hope it gets resolved...that's a lot of money
