I have tried to leave comments and had the numbers flash and then go away and more numbers come up like I got it wrong the first time. The weight-loss journey will keep me healthy and I will live happier and longer! At least people say I don't look that heavy. I think people saying, "Oh, you look fine. You are not fat." has contributed to my weight gain. I need to be told I should do this...lol.

Not sure what's wrong, it's everyone's blog. But I did drop in to say hi and tell you I was proud of you for continuing that particular journey.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-53300960885411866352014-07-22T14:41:05.298-05:002014-07-22T14:41:05.298-05:00A want is like an itch that you must scratch.A want is like an itch that you must scratch.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-28541937078812443182014-07-21T20:51:55.103-05:002014-07-21T20:51:55.103-05:00Janie,

I have had "wants" that hung around for years and still have not been fulfilled. G-daughter probably prefers gloves since her mother hates mittens.

Not really. <br /><br />The codes on Coke are under the caps. If you buy a cardboard carton, they are inside the flap that opens up.

I have no pride, obviously. <br /><br />The temperature is on the upswing, high 80s and 90s for this week. It was just a little freaky last week. I have never wanted a pool, but lately I have just wanted to lie in a kiddie pool. I hope you get to use your pool soon.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-29291426958138298042014-07-21T20:38:02.754-05:002014-07-21T20:38:02.754-05:00Cherdo,

I don't buy souvenirs to put away. However, these are usable. Frugal and a sap--describes me. <br /><br />Thanks. I love yours, too.

I can't tell you how much branded merchandise I received! I still have several small pieces of the luggage along with stadium blankets and picnic sets.<br /><br />I didn't even know that there were coupons on coke products.<br /><br />I have been in the Bay area this week and it has been really nice weather.

It isn't often that I buy any sort of pop so it isn't worth the time. I'm sort of feeling that way about a lot of the programs that I am in.<br />Its been terribly cold around here(Chi-town area), its 70 now but we are supposed to be on the upswing. Maybe we will get to use the pool that we pay a ton for.

I'm at that age where everything is bad for me, ha ha.<br /><br />That said, I would have done the exact same thing to get the gloves! <br /><br />Do you find that it's more satisfying to have saved on these commemorative items? I love things that anchor my memory in events or points in time.

It seems to me that you are much more likely to give than receive treats.<br />Our low (for this week) is likely to be minus 4 (centigrade) and our high around 14. Which is fine by me. I find it much, much easier to get warm than to get cool.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
