We have ruined my favorite set of Ralph Lauren sheets with candle wax. I've tried using an iron to get it out, but it's not working... so, if anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. (and yes, I was smart and have purchased lighter colored candles for in the future.)

Also on my mind is that I have been losing weight regularly since August. I've lost almost 40 lbs, and as I do my laundry I realize that 90% of the clothes I now own, I didn't own 4 months ago because none of my old clothes fit. I've been to the mall more times this month than I have in the last 3 years. I need to purge my closet again, but it's so hard. I'm enjoying my new wardrobe, but it's hard to give up some of my favorites that are now too big.

This has been a busy week for us. My Daddy's son turned 18, and we had a huge party at our apartment for his birthday. I have pics, but I need to get them off the camera and onto my computer. I just haven't had the time. Those of you who have been asking - watch my facebook... they will be there first.

The last thing on my mind is my best friend. It's been great catching up with her again. I learned a very valuable lesson this year where she is concerned. Now, I am really looking forward to her upcoming visit. It's been too long since I have seen her.
