Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!
Autumn has finally arrived in the Sunshine State ... woohoo! It was in the 40s this morning and it's supposed to hit freezing tonight ... we had to cover some of our tender vines last night; it's unusual to get this chilly this soon, but not unheard of, either. The coldest winter I can remember was in 1989 ... it snowed! (OK, not a lot ... just a flurry ... but still, it was snowing, and this was in southwest Florida ... the semi-tropics! COLD!) Yeah, you tough guys up north must think we're a bunch of warm-weather weenies ... you're right!
Well, did the other half of my home cholesterol test this morning, the HDL part, and the reading was much better this time ... looks like I'm not going to keel over from heart disease any time soon, after all
... gotta admit I was freaking out about the last one I did, a few weeks back ... it was pretty grim 
. Anyway, I've got the official (expensive) blood work coming up on Friday, so I hope the home tests were at least in the same ballpark and that my doc walks in the examining room with a smile on his face! 
Have a great one ... Halloween is FRIDAY! Had my hubby take my costume pics with our dorky little disposable camera and will have them developed today ... hope they turn out

... sorry 'bout the headaches, though ... Excederin doesn't work on 'em? That's the only thing that will zap a noggin ache with me. On the rare occasions I get a migraine, I also take a 250 mg. magnesium talent with the Excederin ... it seems to make a huge difference. 
! The label says to check with your doctor first if you have stomach problems, asthma, high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, are taking a diuretic, or if you have ulcers or bleeding problems; or if you're taking blood thinners, or meds for diabetes, gout or arthritis ... that's some warning list! Yikes.
! Two more days and we can wrap this Challenge up .... where the heck is everyone??? Lately, it's been down to me and Liss 
I'm so glad you checked in here ... been thinking about you and wondering how you're doing 
Hope the Whoosy Fairy brings you a nice surprise on your next weigh in 
Only 1 more to go to meet my challenge tomorrow. 
Yes ... I'm waiting with baited breath for a weigh-in tomorrow, too .... hope we ALL get a Whoosy!
