FRIDAY ROLL CALL

Good Morning Everyone: Its a wierd kind of day outside today, it poured out last night. I have been home sick since yesterday. My throat is killing me. I am going to see Dr. Godiparthy today to make sure its not strep. I hate soar throats, I don't have my tonsils anymore but they still come once in awhile. I did not want to miss work these past two days, since its a long weekend we have Monday off. If I feel up to it I may go in over the weekend to check my desk and voicemails. I hate being sick. This weekend I have three birthday parties, we will see how I feel. I am making a birthday cake for my niece Miya. She like Dora, so I told her I would make it for her. I hope it comes out good. Got on the scale this morning I am down to 220!!!!! I have lost 104lbs so far and I am so excited. WOOO HOOO. I never thought I would be so successful at weightloss ever. This feels so wonderful. I am in a size 18 which I have not seen in 20 years. It feels so nice to go into a store and buy something knowing what size I am and not have to always go to a plus size store. I will be so thrilled when the day comes that I never have to walk into Lane Bryant or the Avenue again. Erin got a part in her Drama Club play at school. They are doing Into The Woods Jr. which is a children version of the Broadway Musical. She is one of Cinderella's mice. She is in the show alot and will be singing and dancing. I am so proud of her. She is such a shy kid like I was and I am hoping this will bring her out of her shell. The performance will be in May and I am hoping all my friends and family will come to cheer her on. She is so excited about this. We got her progress report yesterday and she is an A student. I knew she would be, she loves school and is such a good girl. Well enough of my mom ranting. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I hope the weather is better than last night was. Its alittle wierd out right now, kind of muggy and sunny. Hopefully it will cool off. Take care everyone. Hugs Kim

Its so great to not be so large that I have no energy to go and do things on the weekends! My 6 month anniversary is tomorrow and I remember very well that I used to look forward to days off just so that I could sleep! That was my whole plan! Well this weekend I am going to visit my new little boyfriend in NY/NJ. We are going to a concert and to see the sites, whatever can be seen through all the rain that we are supposed to get. Oh well, it should be a nice time anyway. Have a nice weekend everyone!
