A COUPLE OF MILD DAYS AHEAD



It looks like we will have a couple of mild days weather wise after have temperatures below normal the last few days.  The temp today is suppose to climb into the upper 50's while tomorrow it is suppose to be in the mid 60's, however with the milder temps there is a pretty good chance of rain along with some possible t-storms on Wednesday.  I wrapped up some more Christmas presents last night so my PAIN index remains a bit elevated.  The Colonial Heights boys basketball team will be back in action tonight on the road at Atlee, the Colonials are 2-1 on the season and will open up Central District play this Friday night at home against Prince George.  Also gas dropped to $1.53 a gallon yesterday here in Colonial Heights, who would have ever thought gas would drop like it has, I am not complaining though.  MICKEY

If you don't make a total commitment to whatever you're doing, then you start looking to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. It's tough enough getting that boat to shore with everybody rowing, let alone when a guy stands up and starts putting his jacket on.  Lou Holtz

Boost Your Self-esteem - I have valuable skills and talents. I respect my intelligence. I act on my feelings and beliefs. I like my appearance. I am worth knowing. Basically - I like who I am.

AN AMAZING FACT
No one knows why, but 90 percent of women who walk into a department store immediately turn to the right....

The holiday season is the most difficult time try to diet. Attempting to follow a strict eating plan when you're not truly committed can induce you to binge on the foods you have eliminated, causing you to gain weight. Focus on maintaining your weight over the holidays by controlling portions, making healthier choices, and getting regular physical activity. You can get back on track with weight loss when the diet danger zones of November and December have passed.
