I have done that. I had a friends bring homemade hot out of oven brownies and how do you say no...really! :-) So I had two so the weight would be evenly distributed on my thighs! When I have run myself short on points I have the soup and a salad. I try not to use the activity list just so I wouldn't be tempted to go run around the block to have another brownie. My MIL is horrible! That's just kind of enough said in that brief little sentence! :-) When she found out that I had joined WW she brought homemade chocolate cookies to the house one night. I kindly explained that I was on WW and that I wasn't keeping goodies in the house like that. So the next day I wrapped them up and sent them with David to work to share with his crew. A couple of days later here come brownies I did the exact same thing. A few days after that a homemade cheesecake. I sent it home with another friend of mine right in front of her. Last Saturday night here she comes with a homemade German chocolate cake. I was so frustrated because I was struggling anyway and just tired of her being so insensitive. I threw the whole thing in the garbage right in front of her. I lost it! Needless to say she isn't speaking to me which is just fine with me. The only time the woman cooks is when I am trying to diet and she turns into Betty Crocker. Sorry for the rant...I am craving chocolate and it's been a rough day! :-)

This weekend I'm prepping for my recovery time after knee replacement surgery (5/16). I will be moving my primary sewing machine to the dining room table where it will be easier for me to sit. I'll get a couple of my on-going projects stacked up and ready to go, along with all the thread and other supplies I might need. I'm also going to cut out all the pieces for a few more of the hand applique blocks that I was working on last year! Won't that be great to get back to that project?!? I'll have that kit ready so I'll have something to do even before I can sit at the machine. If I can find time this week I hope to get new covers made for the cushions on the patio furniture. Kate

Thanks Summer. I had a nice day. Didn't do very much but it was still nice ans we have rented the DVD "National Treasure" to watch tonight so might open a bottle of wine, dim the lights and enjoy watching Nicolas Cage perform LOL Sue :)
