I definitely know the stress. It happened when I was down in Tucson
and the doc called and said get dad to the emergency room NOW. Hours
and hours.

And stressing a stressed body with exercise might not be best with you
also coming off a cold (which I got now!!)

then all day in her room the next day, except for about a 2 hour nap. I
feel So Like Horrible Poo today, I cannot tell you. But I put on my

Too late - you knew I wasn't going to pass this one up! Trader Joe's 99% fat free
Blueberry Wheat Bran Muffins ... 1 muffin, about 2 oz., 110 cal/0.5g fat/5g fiber,
1.44 US points. They really are good! Not a large sized muffin, but a bit bigger
than the mini muffin types. Maybe a small cupcake? hehehe There are no
preservatives, took me a while to figure that out (too bad I didn't read the
package where it is stated very clearly). The first two packages I bought turned
moldy within 2 or 3 days. I have since learned ... put them in a zipper bag and
keep refrigerated for a bit longer life. My TJ's has them near the english
muffins/breads - stacked on a display table in the center of the aisle. Go for
it! They really do make a nice snack alternative.

I may just have to try them, would like to have an alternative for when my grocer
is sold out of the miss meringues ... which is quite often. The mini-chocolate
chips have only been in my store for a few months. But remember when I couldn't
find the very chocolate ones and only was able to buy the chocolate raspberry?
Now the raspberry are nowhere to be found, and the very chocolate are slim
pickins. This week we were back to orange and vanilla ... two of my least
favorites. Oh, and my store has also carried mm's in the mini MINT chocolate chip
variety. They are *ok*, I like the plain choc. chip much better.
