Maggie i need tips on staying away from sweets. I need to drop a few pounds and i got to avoid the sweets lol.

Jimbo, oh, boy! How did you know that I was a health freak? hehe. Seriously. I know sweets might be everyones best friend, but there comes a time in your life where you just have to let them go.  They're evil, I tell you. LoL, you can't just let them go completely Jimbo. Let it go little by little. If you completely stop eating sweets it will only make your craving for them greater than what they are now. Eat a low fat diet, and with that diet limit your self with one of those miniture candy bars (perferably 3 musketeers, 1 reeses peanut butter cup, or 1 miniture hershey dark chocolate) for desert or a snack, just to get rid of that craving. It doesn't necessarily have to be a candy bar, if you want some cake or a lil debbie's snack cut it in half or even in thirds and save the rest for a later day. It's hard to kick off sweets but once you limit yourself to a smaller serving of it, it will be easier to let it go a little bit of the craving everyday. You can also substitute your craving for sweets with something else that is sweet but healthy. How about some fruit? There are lots of good tasting fruits out there to kill cravings. I love to eat gala apples because their sweetness. Try melon, apples, pears, peaches, kiwis, bananas, etc. Try eating cereal instead, that's a good substitute, but don't eat like a huge bowl, eat only to satisfy the craving. Jello is also good. Oh and don't forget those nutrigrain bars, yummy. Now I can keep going on and on and on, but I got lots of questions to answer. LoL, but you get the point, just say no. And yes to a healthier lifestyle, remember it's all in your mind you can do it, I believe in you and you need to believe in yourself to actually do it, so good luck and let me know how it goes. Oh, it's also good to maybe keep a journal of your eating so that way you can tell more or less what you need to cut down on.

Robert Jaime you are so welcomed. And as for pee-wee and the rest of you I will get to your questions manana hopefully. Have a great day everyone.

Maggie what are some good ideas for Mother's day gifts?

---

Wyatt, I'm so sorry for not getting back to you soon enough. But if I'm not to late here are some great Ideas. First of all a mother is just plain out happy for having her children there with her. They actually like anything, as long as she knows that she is thought of. Buy her one of her favorite things, jewlery, CD's, DVD's, Clothing, shoes, house things, make-up, plants, flowers, perfume, body spray, picture frames, photo albumns, bake her a cake, she will take anything from just a simple little card letting her know that you care. So don't fret about it, and just get her what comes from the heart. I bought my mother, a pair of sandals, cause she loves them, and I also bought her favorite dvd, The Lake House :) which I will be stealing from her here and there, lol. Well hope I got to you in time, if not I"m so sorry for the lateness.

Maggie at work i tend to think outloud so sometimes it looks like i am talking to myself. People look at me wierd and it is making me feel stupid. How do i deal?

---

Lightning, you and me buddy are in the same boat. hehe. No really, I tend to do that a lot at work. I even answer myself, that's even worse. LoL. But then again when you work at a place like mine, then you'd be talking to yourself as well. Heck, I think everyone talks to themselves there. And even If I were the only one that is doing it, I really wouldn't care what other people are thinking about me. And to make things worse than that, LoL, I talk to myself in my car, at the store, in my room, in the parking lot, at restaurants, and probly in my sleep. hehe. And what do i do to the ones who stare, I turn and smile, or I pretend that I"m on blue tooth (which I don't have) :) So here's the moral of all this: You shouldn't worry whether you look weird or not. Because you know that if anyone is anyone they will, have, or do talk to themselves all the darn time. Now, the ones who actually show that they do, in front of people I give credit to. Because they are the one's with the most confidence in themselves. I really wouldn't change nothing about yourself and how you do things. And if you do feel stupid when you do that play it off. I really wouldn't go and stress out over this. If they don't like it shrug it off and go back to work. Hey as long as you get the job done right, what should it matter. don't change for anyone, or anything.

Maggie, i am graduating soon, and i am shy about walking the stage. I really don't want to but my parents want to too really bad. Help!!

JRob, I wanted to answer this as soon as possible, knowing that grad day is just around the corner. First of all, Congratulations! Ok, everyone, I don't care who they are, but everyone is nervous to walk the stage. My fear was actually tripping over something and falling in front of people. But you have to realize that you only have the opportunity to do it once in your lifetime. Well unless you graduate from college as well (or maybe you are graduating from college, I don't know) but anyways, your only ganna be on the stage like for 5 seconds, shake some persons hand, hug another, and wah-la, by the time you know it you'll be climbing back down the stairs and another victim is up next. Remember that your back is going to be turned towards the crowd anyways, don't pay attention and just do it. When I graduated from college, I wasn't going to walk the stage, but many of my teachers, and friends convinced me to do it. And again, it was very quick. The longest process is just sitting through the whole ga darn commencement talkers. But really you should do it. You'll regret it if you don't. It's a good experience and it makes you feel accomplised at the end. That's a feeling you don't wanna miss out on. Just rememeber that you aren't the only one out there feeling the feeling of butterflies in you tummy. Everyone is going to be nervous, more worse than others. Hope that helped a bit. :)
