I was planning on sleeping in but loud cannons started to go off at 6:00, So I got up and got my 7 year old up and we went out. I ran and she road her bike. We did stop to pick some huge red cherries that were hanging over the fence, and we stopped to throw about 30 huge snails out of my neighbors back corrner where the sprinklers had just gone off. I dislike snails more than any other little slimmy thing around here. They will eat a whole garden plant over night. My legs were pretty stiff.

Then we went to our ward breakfast. I am having a hard time with my eatting again now that it has gotten so hot. I don't wantto eat all day then night comes when it cools down and I eat everything all at once. It is very bad.

Just checking on ya...looks like you are doing good..still running. I have a worse eating problem..I eat everything all at once all day long. I struggle a bit to not overeat when I'm pregnant. I need to eat more but not too much.

I checked out your blog today and then I had to go, but I was going to say hi, It is good to see you are still running and keeping up with everything. You are pretty amazing.

At least you have an excuse for your eatting problem!

I have that same problem with eating when it is hot.

I dislike snails as well, they use to eat all my flowers I would plant in my back yard. I remeber reading some where in the dicussion forum that beer in a empty tuna can gets rid of them.

I have heard the same about beer, but with my dog and my 6 young kids I can just imagin what would happen.

I have been crushing up all my egg shells and using the slug and snail bait. Put getting up and getting out in the morning and just picking them all out seems to be the best.
