Thanks, I was just on the website.  It's a bit of an investment, but it sounds like a it could be a really valuable tool, anything that can monitor your caloric intake and calories burned and even monitor your sleep just might be worth the price.  Hmmm, who can I drop a hint to so I can get this for Christmas??

Here's a link to the product I have: http://www.bodymedia.com/

Our long weekend in the Maritimes of eastern Canada we were on hurrican watch.  Hurricane Earle hit Nova Scotia on Saturday and us in New Brunswick got off fairly lucky, just some heavy wind and rain.  The forecast was for it to hit us here directly, but lucky for us (not so lucky for our neighboring province of Nova Scotia) it changed direction.  Personnally I was extremely frightened, the wind can do so much damage.  The rest of the weekend was spent in just catching our breath and feeling how fortunate we were to have escaped the storm.

It may be a bit too early to make any real decisions about what to wear for Hallowe'en, but if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.  It's really is just so much fun shopping in the costumes shops and even places like Value Village for costume ideas.

I must have missed something, what exactly is this and what does it do?

It's been fairly low-key around here - time to exercise, watch some movies, run some errands, go out to brunch...a nice weekend all around.

I will for work - we all do - but I have no idea what my costume will be yet!  Your ideas are cute.

Well, over the weekend, I finally gave in to pressures and opened a Facebook account.  I was a little frightened at first, expecting an avalanche of messages, but it's been fairly quiet and maneageable.  I admit that it is a good place to post my messages about new entries on my website www.MaraWriter.com , instead of sending out mass emails (since pretty-much everybody is on Facebook).  I'm working on another  cooking video where I make lovely all-American Lemon Squares, which I hope to post soon.  Anyway, I will certainly put up the recipe on my website.  Made them yesterday and they turned out heavenly.  I really think that sweet, tangy lemon is my favorite flavor.

I am planning to have DS go as Bam Bam (he's a blonde little boy!) and DH and I might go as Betty + Barney Rubble.

I'm trying to get his parents to be Fred and Wilma. 

We had no major plans here.  I had off on Friday so ran some errands, then came home and took a LONG nap. I never do that.  We were supposed to get a hurricane, but luckily it passed us by.

Saturday--more errands.  Kind of a low key day.  Watched tv mostly.

Yesterday I took an early morning yoga class, then family BBQ for DH birthday.

Today---I am planning to take a yoga class at 9:30AM, then come home and hang out with DS/DH.  We have a restaurant gift card for an Italian place DH was given by one of his customers---thinking of using that because we'll have DS with us and the place will probably be empty since most people are going to BBQs today.
