''The Wine-Lovers' Diet'' - 'cause I could stand to lose a few pounds and Heaven knows I love wine.

Happy Tuesday, All, Garance, The Classical Stretch link is http://www.classicalstretch.com/ That's where I ordered. I got the basic Classical Stretch (it has 2 workouts on it), one of the newer ones which has 3 30-minute segments, and the TV show, which has about 30 segments and is a great...

I watched it. It was mildly interesting, especially when people were interviewed in the food court at a mall, and thought their 1,300-calorie meals were about 300 calories. Some of it was a total set-up, though. The news anchor, who was about as big as my little finger, walked into Subway...

Happy Monday, All, It's lovely and foggy here - looks surreal when I look out the window. The warm-up continues. Garance, I adore Classical Stretch. When I first watched it, I thought ''This woman is a goofball.'' But, as Cathe says, ''Just you wait!'' The tapes start off so easily, but...

I ordered 3 tapes - the original CS, the new one that has 3 30-minute workouts, and the TV show, which has about 30 episodes, and is an outstanding bargain! I am trying so hard not to order more - my credit card is close to spontaneously combusting as it is! A word of warning - you won't get...

Happy Sunday, All, It's raining here. Last night,it poured all night long, with lots of thunder and lightning. It's supposed to get warmer through Wednesday, with a high of 83 that day, then dip into the 40s that night and be cold for Thanksgiving. I hope this is the last of the 80s until...

I had barely even heard of my candidate - and I work for a newspaper!

Isn't she the greatest? I have loosened up muscles that have been kinked for years. I also love the fact that all her DVDs are filmed in beautiful outdoor locations, and have good music.

Happy Saturday, All, Deb, I hope the new medicine solves your poor dog's health problems. To all: I've never used a HRM. Do you consult it a lot when exercising? Do you change the intensity of your workout up or down dependingn on the reading, and do you think that benefits you? Sometimes...

Heather, and everyone in the photo - YOU LOOK MAHVELOUS! This is my definition of style.

Happy Friday, All, It's 40 degrees this morning, clear, no wind, with a predicted high of 75. Houston doesn't get too many perfect days, so I'm thrilled I'm off today. The wiring did take all day, but it was interesting - I learned a lot. I climbed up and down the ladder, wired some of the...

Happy Thursday, All, Josie, congratulations! I know you can't wait to meet Alex - his parents are mighty lucky to have you to take care of big brother Michael. Deb, I constantly have to add air to my stability ball to keep it firm. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GARANCE!!! I worked Monday, but am...

Happy Wednesday, All, So, Garance is a Scorpio and Linny is a Sagittarius. What about the rest of you ladies? I'm a Pisces. Linny's birthday is the day I can start using weights, although I can only use 3-pounders for a week, then 5s for a week, and on up. Now that I think of it, I won't...

Happy Tuesday, All, Woo-hoo, Josie is going to be a grandmother! And, who knows,it might happen to Garance in the not-too-distant future! That sabbatical sounds wonderful, Garance. I'm sure you'll have time to be much more creative with a little more downtime. Great news about your...

Crime Scene: Melrose merrily returns from work, gets stepladder, climbs up to top of armoire that she can't reach but Mr. Melrose can, looks around dumbfounded . . . Melrose: Honey, where's our magic mouse machine? Mr. Melrose: Huh? Oh, it died a couple of months ago, so I threw it out...

Sorry, NinjaMom, just saw your question. I'm at work, will check the name of our device when I get home this evening.

Happy Monday, All, Deb, crossing my fingers for good news on your dog. Linny, the new car sounds super cool. What color are you getting? Yes, every member of the male species I know rolls his eyes when I say that's at the top of my list when considering a new car. Evidently I popped a...

I bought one of those ultrasonic devices that rodents can hear, but not family pets. I haven't had a problem since I got it (over 10 years).

Happy Thursday, All, Deb, I hope your poor dog will be okay, but I wouldn't worry about him wanting just water for a few days. He's probably dehydrated from fasting, blood work, and may have an upset stomach from testing. There's really not much to the fruit salad. I use apples, bananas...

Happy Wednesday, All, I'm typing slowly, which is still an improvement. Today is a week since my thumb surgery, which means I was allowed to remove the ginormous pack of gauze wrapped with an ace bandage for the first time. I can also take a shower without having to wrap the hand in a plastic...
