[buffettgirl]

<---says that is all that is left of Christmas
<---except for a tree dropping it's needles, a couple dozen stale cookies and poinsettas all over the place
<---has found herself the owner of 8 large pointsettas
<---wonders if you all remember the delimma <--had last year, not being able to bring myself to throw them out, but being utterly sick of them
<---wonders if there is a recuse organization for unwanted pointsettas
<---changes subject to let you know <--made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor for my knee
<---says it aches and <--is afraid to workout
<---is also afraid to get on the scale
<---has been using food as a coping skill, due to the loss of exercise-stress-busting endorphins
<---sigh
