READERS UNITED

Margie, usually if there's quite a few garage sales in one area at the same time, that brings out the serious garage salers, and you'll do better than if you're the only one.  At least that's what happens around here. 

I finished reading Liz Talley's A Little Texas, and like I figured, by the end of the book, the h and I had connected and she actually turned out to be quite nice.  I've now started reading A Touch of Scarlet, and for several pages there were references to Scarlet's chef sister, and I was having a terrible time trying to place her.  I finally realized that she was the h from A Taste of Texas, but the references in this book totally did not match my remembrance of what the story line had been in the other book -- and it wasn't that long ago that I read it, either.  I'm sort of liking Scarlet a little better than I did the other h that I mentioned before, but she's sure done some stupid things.  I honestly can't believe that anyone with a head on their shoulders would do some of the things she's done.  But I'm sure by the end of the book I'll like her better, too.  I do like the way Liz Talley writes.  I find it very easy to follow, and quick reads, too. 

I've picked up the first three Shelter Cove books from the library, so I'll be getting at them fairly soon.  I have to read a couple more Diane Pershing ones first because they'll be due sooner than the JoAnn Ross ones. 

I've got my 3-month check-up at the Dr's tomorrow.  I haven't lost as much more weight as I'd like to have, but at least I haven't gained any, and I'm still very slowly going down, so I'm sure he'll be happy with that.  I can now look in the mirror and see me looking slimmer.  For a long time to me I looked just as fat as ever.  I can truly see how people can become too skinny.  If they lose it too fast and still perceive themselves as fat, they'll keep on losing and pretty soon they'll be anorexic.  Also, my blood glucose is still fairly close to what it should be, even on the lower meds, so he'll be very happy about that.  I think I've wrecked a tendon in one finger, and I keep getting large chunks of dark colored wax out of one ear, so I'm going to ask him about both those things, too.  Other than that I feel really good. 

Well, my clock says 12:09 a.m. so I'd better head to bed. . .  {:-)
