Dollar Tree finds...

gearing up for Easter tree time...
we all were bored...
well, I was bored Tuesday night...
kind of a let down when you able to run around 3 whole days in a row...
(look, Donna, glitter on them eggs)
but don't get too excited- I haven't opened them yet...
so I made puppy dog eyes and the guys took me to town...
AFTER DARK!
I didn't want to really spend a lot of money...
didn't need a darn thing...
so it was the Dollar tree...
a candy duck for Craig...
'cause he's a rubber ducky kind of guy...
really- he has a collection of them...
and these little painted metal oval tubs...
a pink one...
and a blue one...
they had them in green, too...
thought they would be cute on the deck this spring...
and a little yellow bunny for the tree...
and spring ribbon...

then we stopped and got an ice cream cone...
and I was daring...
I did 4 licks...
and DH took another one for the team and finished it off...

been on this "diet" now for 3 1/2 weeks...
not doing  milk products at all...
except for the 4 licks...
and...
my IBS symptoms have disappeared...
they have the same symptoms of being lactose intolerant...
could I have been LI all along and been misdiagnosed?
makes you wonder...
I am doing soy milk, no yogurt, no cottage cheese...
and ta-da...
staying out of the bathroom!
I am going to talk to my doctor about it the next time I see him...
of course,  IBS goes in flairs...
and this could just be a quiet time...

we were up in the 50s, but got a front coming in...
thunderstorms are on their way but no snow here...
8 inches for Chicago...
lucky them...
Doug is here waiting to get into the dentist this afternoon...
getting at least 2 pulled...
then we go from there...

been for a walk...
a little breezy...
good thing I've got some lead in my pants, or I would be in Indiana by now...
gotta get moving again...
been trying to keep busy and keep moving as much as possible...
it lowers the blood sugar...
that and there's a bit to do around here always...

have a great afternoon...
and if you get snow...
well, I just didn't want it so sent it on...
