Hello Sue! ~  Ten pounds lost...that’s terrific - I am so proud of you! I need to pick up some fresh tips from you! Your Hawaiian Sheet Pan Supper sounds wonderful except for the coconut (not a fan of that - lol). That is a lot of chopping though and I can certainly relate. Mom and I picked up a watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries and some Bing cherries on Tuesday. I cut up everything but the cherries. I filled up one of those 4 quart Pyrex measuring bowls twice with diced watermelon. I bagged everything into quart bags and split it up for four people. A lot of fruit and healthy eating (for after the birthday bash).

Speaking of birthdays, Mom and Josie's birthday was a success yesterday. For some reason or another the Wiki is not letting me load a picture of the cake. I made a mistake and ordered too big of a cake - oops! Mom always orders an 8" double round cake.  When I contacted her lady, I asked for a double cake.  I guess a 10" cake is a standard double cake and very heavy. I actually weighed it and it was 8.5 pounds! So, needless to say we have a lot of frozen cake to eat for a while - lol. Let me try and see if I can add this picture now...still no luck. I also stepped on the scale today and have gained back 3.5 pounds, but I will get that off in the next two weeks. I need to start walking again that would definitely help.

Thank you so much for your prayers! I was very well prepared for the exam and was actually ready to take it and get it out of the road late this afternoon. I called my neighbor and he wasn't home, so I left a message and told him that I was ready and to give me a call. He called at 9:00 and was home the whole time watching the Cubs Baseball and the Bears Football in two different rooms and didn't hear the phone (that would be because he has the TV up really loud - lol). I laughed and told him it's a good thing he decided to be a Bachelor. He said he would still be up watching the game and I could still take it if I wanted to. I told him I didn't think he would be up that late and didn't want to keep him. He again said it would be fine with him, so I took him up on it. I gave him my book, he gave me the exam and I got it finished in about 45 minutes. I knew the material, so it went smoothly with only a couple things that concerned me and a few tricky questions, of course. Otherwise, it's so nice having it done now and out of the way. I dropped it in his mailbox before I went home. So, I am going to spend the rest of the evening answering these lovely posts on my Wiki wall. I am so blessed to have great friends and people that care and are supportive!

I am also so excited to get back into the game. I will need to upgrade to the new event and then I'll be in full play mode by tomorrow afternoon. The whole weekend is mine - yippee!! So, I will see you in Darkwood very soon! Big Hugs! ~  Llyssa
