THANKS.....pretty sure it won't be a shopping trip...neither of us is really into shopping...especially for clothes...I, for one, plan on using up all of the NOT fat clothes that are in the back of my closet before forcing myself to shop for new stuff...

I'm thinking more along the lines of a trip up the coast to our favorite near-the-beach motel...A "Girls Only" trip...which will also include the nine AND A HALF (her emphesis, not mine) granddaughter...now there's one who loves to shop...lol...The motel has a heated pool, spa, and hot tub..
and a Walmart nearby...Fresh seafood restaurants....long walks on the beach.....ahhhhhhhhhhh yeh, my idea of the perfect non-edible reward.....

Someone asked me ( not remembering where) if the crab was a Dungeness.....The answer is yes....they catch them here locally...My one son, who lives in San Jose, takes a couple of coolers full of them back home with him every year when he comes up for our family Christmas party...he says they're cheaper and a lot more tasty than the ones he could pick up in the Bay Area..

Tracy...yep, Snicks is my daughter.....we live only two miles apart....and she' s my cheerleader and vice-versa...SO much easier, this time around, for me, now that I have her doing this WOE with me...

OK...Time to start socking away those nickels and dimes daughter...
Crescent City...here we come...say in another 15 pounds? or should we round it up (no pun intended) to an even 20?

Would love to hear some more non-edible reward ideas....
