For some reason I fell asleep while watching a movie this afternoon. So I took a nap for a couple of hours. I’m not feeling sick or anything – I have no idea why I fell asleep. I guess the movie was pretty bad! But now I can’t sleep and here it is after 2:00 am and I’m sitting at home bored out of my mind.

There was a major earthquake in Chile. So soon after the terrible devastation from a major earthquake in Haiti is very disconcerting. The loss of life was tremendous in Haiti – over 100,000 people died. But early reports from the 8.8 quake in Chile is more hopeful – less than 100 have died. Chile gets a lot of credit for having tough building codes and being better prepared to deal with earthquakes than Haiti.

The Holiday season always makes me feel fat and I really want to get started on a good diet this year and not fool around with putting on a lot of holiday weight. I am going to stay away from the cookies and pies and eat a lot of fruit and vegetables this year, of course I say the same thing every year. I have made it past Thanksgiving without blowing up in weight I put on one pound this year for Thanksgiving and I think I can make it through Christmas with the same weight gain I will be a happy camper. Man but those pumpkin pies look so good already.
