Ah, a new year - how can it be 2010 already! I have to admit that I didn't do too well at the end of the OLD year - I have gained back 4 1/2 pounds. But I am resolved (NOT a New Year's resolution!) to lose that plus another four before I fly off to the UK on Feb. 5. I am so excited at the prospect of seeing so many of my dear friends - Stan, Pat, Nancy, Bulbir, Denise - that I am off right now to fill in my new calendar with the dates! Bless, bless, bless my dear daughters for this wonderful gift! Well worth shedding 8 more pounds!
