    Santa attacked by a stink bug

    Yup, there here in MA as well. Had one in the shower and my 9 year old was screaming his head off. I was hoping now that it is in the teens that the bug invasion was over.

    CHALLENGERS - Week of 10/11/10

    Jean: sounds like the road trip was fun. The weight gain is probably water due to all the workouts you did. I wasn't sure if that was a good time( my 5k I mean). I hope to do another one in two weeks. Roxie: great workout. My DH actually got up and did the elliptical this morning. I'm so proud...

    Mortons neuroma is an inflamed nerve between the 3rd and 4th toe on the underside of your foot. It feels numb and eventually feels like I am walking on a large marble. Yuck and OUCH!!
