A few of my friends already got what Im going to post in their email box. Earlier this year, my dear hubby got notified at work that his company was going to close one of their older plants down and that about 500 people were going to be out of work in short order. The plant they chose to close is the one he's working in.

What I'd gain while hubby was home I'd manage to lose again before he was off again. I really need to learn to stick with my eating schedule even while he's home. Anyhow this week Im feeling much like the lady in the pic because I not only gained the 2-3 I'd lost during the week but gained 4 more on top of it.

Some were thought provoking (see my blast for the link), some were funny (Maureen's poem) and some were interactive. I want to thank Rev for putting that link in his blast. The link sent me to someone else's page and she had asked What's in a Name (she snagged it from someone else's page).

In our area the hail was only the size of peas but farther west and south they ended up with hail up to the size of tea cups (3" diameters). Im not sure what all my TxSis got.
