Happy Halloween to everyone!  I'm sitting in my office waiting for the onslaught of little ghosts and goblins to begin.   To be perfectly honest, I'm something of a Halloween grouch. 

I love seeing the little ones in their costumes, but I hate the constant ring of the doorbell which makes Sabra our dog bark and creates momentary chaos.

I also hate trick-or-treaters who are taller than me and I'm pretty short.   But I tell myself it's one night out of the year and this year I don't even get to eat any of the candy we have on hand.  I've scoured the South Beach Diet book and nowhere does it say that candy is okay.  Imagine that!

I have lost four pounds.  Six to eight more to go and I'll be good.   If I lose too much more than that everyone tells me I start to look sickly.

I lost about thirty five pounds on the diet a little over a year ago and I'll never forget the first time a waitress in a restaurant referred to me as a little bitty thing.  I nearly fell out of my chair.  It was wonderful! 

Okay, enough about diets.  I'm really into the loving your own body image thing and keeping the weight where you feel good.

I'm so boring tonight I'm starting to put myself to sleep.  Guess that's always time to stop the blog.  I wrote fifteen pages yesterday and am hoping to do another fifteen today.  I'm currently working on an Intrigue and it's kind of writing itself at the moment.  That's always scary.  It's either okay or it sucks big time and I'm not objective enough to realize it.  Luckily that's what editors are for, to tell you when you suck! <G>

Goodnight and thanks for stopping by!
