PARDON ME WHILE I DO A COMMERCIAL

Until the last year Damn Menopause!, I haven't sweated much at all. I've just "glistened" a bit, if anything. But boy hidey, things have certainly changed. And when a FLASH comes on, I almost panic I get so hot. Can you spot my new secret weapon on my vanity? Sometimes when I'm getting dressed and drying my hair, I have to stop and cool off. And that's hard to do when you're in a hurry. This tiny "jewel" is gonna save me.

I actually have several of them now. I picked the first one up a few days ago at WALM*RT aka "Wally World" for $.96... AND it comes with the batteries included! I thought "what the heck, let's see what this baby can do".

They are amazing! Two small foam blades create a lot of cool air! It's unbelievable! I went back this afternoon to pick up a few more for my tennis buddies and for me too. And guess what? Today they were marked $.50. I did a happy dance as I headed to the check-out counter.

Oh girls, if you like chocolate (and who doesn't) and peanut butter, you've gotta try this dessert that a friend told me about today. It's a South Beach Phase 1 recipe, I believe. And it's sooo yummy. I can tell you first hand since I tried it myself tonight. And it's so easy too.

Take one no sugar added fudgesicle and let soften until you can scrape it off the stick. Add one heaping tablespoon of peanut butter (I use Simply Jif since it has less sodium and sugar) and one heaping tablespoon of Sugar Free Cool Whip. Stir together until the three ingredients are blended. Put in freezer for 30 minutes. Enjoy! Oh.My.Word! I almost licked the bowl! Notice there's no picture of it. I didn't think about photos are anything else when I was busy devouring this treat.

Thanks for your prayers for Beth. She's improving a little bit more each day.
