Good morning to all.  I hope everyone has a great day!!! Not much going on with me just working and working........  A very close coworker friend of mine that had surgery. Today is her last day, I am sad   to see her leaving  and wont have to worry about finding one when her time was up in March and beisdes that we are just a phone call away.  The company I am currently working for is going out of business so we all have different ending dates mine is not until March 09. I have a small request if someone can.  I will not be able to make it to the clothing exchange but I need some clothes.  I need 10's if there are any there.  I need pants and shirts office attire.  If someone that lives close to north side can pick up some for me I would greatly appreciate it very much!!  I will miss seeing everyone on Saturday. Take care Bonnie

Happy Friday! I'm getting ready to head off  to work. I don't work at Sears tonight, so I'll have some time to catch up on the house. WooHoo! It needs it! I wish I was able to come to the exchange tomorrow , but I have to be back in Terre Haute at 2pm for work, so I would only be able to stay for about 30 minutes. That wouldn't work out very well. If anyone is available to pick out clothes in 12/14 sizes, office type clothing, I would be glad to come pick them up. Please let me know.  Well, off to work!

Good morning everyone! We're taking off to Angola this morning. There's a little amusement park & zoo called Fun Spot. Jan..or anyone else that lives in that direction...if you want to drive over & see us, we'll be staying at the Circle B campgrounds. My cell # is in my angel info on the Yahoo angel email. I won't have my cell with me at Fun Spot but will call you back as soon as we get back to the rv if you call during then. We'll be at Fun Spot tomorrow from 10-6. We should be at Circle B by late this afternoon. Chance stayed the night with us last night and is joining us on this trip. His last one before school starts. We're going to work on learning how to tie shoes while we're gone because 'Mamaw, EVERYONE knows how to tie their own shoes in first grade, but I don't'.  Bonnie...I'm in a 10 now so after the swelling starts going down after the plastics, I should be able to wardrobe you in jeans, shorts, and some casual dress. Nothing really for the 'office' though. That wouldn't work well with a lab rat like me. I hope that everyone who is going to the clothing exchange tomorrow has a really good time. I know I always do and am going to really miss being able to see my friends..and to make new ones! So you guys....get your reservation set up for the camp-out!!!! I want to be able to see my buds! Well..I better go get the fridge loaded up so we can head out. I don't know if there's WIFI or not so if you don't see me, you'll know why. BUT....I can get/send emails from my cell phone...k? huggs... Sherri

Vicki I keep forgetting to call you I'm so freaking tired when I get home from work I crash... I'm not used to it yet...

I'm really starting to get frustrated with the scale... it says i went up another lb... WTF! I'm getting 7 hours of sleep... i'm eating around 800-1000 calories a day... there is no REASON i should be gaining... i'm getting 54 oz of water a day plus my shake of 10 oz... I wanted to when I got on the scale this morning and it said I had gained ANOTHER lb... Almost makes me think that this is too good to be true. I'm hoping it's like Sherri said and it's just because I changed my sleep patterns.. Instead of going to bed at 1 am and getting up at 9 am i'm going to bed at 10 30 and getting up at 6... It could be one of those body memory things... I was at this weight for a very long time, maybe that's what it is.. but if it doesn't stop soon i'm going to the dr... I keep a log of everything I eat and have since surgery...

Linda K I'm glad your surgery went well yesterday and everything is back where it should be...

Linda V I'm glad you get a night off and can catch up on some stuff... you never have said how your dance classes are going... I'm really thinking about finding a strip tease class to go to..

Sherri, have fun in Angola, that's where my brother goes to college so I'm up there every weekened in the fall watching him play football. He's went to that little amusement park and says it's fun...

I'm so excited for tomorrow.. One the clothing exchange.. I get to go see my friends and I can't wait to see how much everyone has changed and some new food... although i don't cook much I eat a lot of string cheese!! Some new clothes... and one top of that TWO my sis's bachelorette party is tomorrow... we decided we're going to broad ripple after a trip to cheeseburger in paradise.. i'll proly just eat string cheese.. I haven't been to the clubs since right after surgery and i couldn't dance then.. so I'm happy to go out and shake it shake it... HOpe everyone has a great friday... I'm waiting for my authorizations to get fixed so I can get onto my stuff... Since i'm new i only know how to do one thing and i can't get into it for some reason this morning... hmmmm....

Dance classes are fun, but my schedule hasn't permitted too many of them yet, just a couple!

JESS SWEETHEART ITS OK JUST BE AT MY HOUSE BETQWEEN 11 AND 1130 SO WE CAN GET YOUR MILLION BAGS IN MY VAN (LOL) AND HEAD OUT. YOU GET TO MEET MY DAUGHTER AS DOES EVERYONE. SHE IS GOING WITH .  SEE YOU SATURDAY HUN VICKI

Good morning everyone!  Had a great time at dinner last night!  Was great to see / meet everyone.  While packing last night, I came across an old food journal of mine.  I think I'm going to start doing that again.  It wasn't JUST for food, it was for other things too.   I had been using my myspace, but I think since so many of my IRL friends read it (and some of them don't know I've had surgery), it's hard to be brutally honest there.  My food journal let me do that, and since I'm an emotional eater (and boy have things been stressful) and I've caught myself doing bad things over the last month, I really want to focus on repairing the damage I'm starting to do to myself before it's too late. I did not work this hard to lose this weight to just gain it back! Well, time to get this day started out right: Going to get off my butt and go run!

Good Morning Vicki and everyone, Dinner last night was real nice.  It was nice to visit with Julia, Dawn, Ellen, Dana, Chris, Darrah, Gwyn, and Austin.  Gwyn sure is a cutie. Tonight we're going to St. V's to visit Jen and then come home and get ready for the clothing exchange tomorrow.  It will be great seeing everyone and sure will miss those that can't make it. Don't forget next weekend is the OH Camping weekend.  If you can't make it for the weekend, consider coming up on Saturday and spending some time with us. Have a good day! Floyd

They say - Better Late Then Never - hence my lateness in posting this evening. Since it's the first of the month I had to gather all my strength to get my butt out of bed early this morning and run my million miles of errands. EGHADS! So much to do. I did however, sneak in enough time to get my hair did. It's super short now and I absolutely love it. I'm sooooooo looking forward to seeing everyone that I can tomorrow. I'll have a car load too, hahaha. I have to take my mom earlier in the day to 82nd St to see a banckruptcy lawyer @ 10 or so. She says repeatedly that she's been assured she'll be in his office no more then 45 minutes. I told her half kidding that she better be sure, cuz I don't like arriving late and being one of the last people to show up ANYWHERE. I've been so tired lately and every day it seems I'm bigger then the day before. Although I'm actually smaller then post 8 months pregnant woman I feel absolutely awkward and because I have no stomach muscles to hold the baby up right I have a lot of lower pressure and I walk so friggin slow and funny now. No upright sitting... I slouch now. But I take all this discomfort with a smile because I remember when I weighed over 250 lbs when pregnant with Gage and no one knew I was pregnant and I absolutely didn't feel like I was. This time I do - and I ADORE IT!!! BTW - I only charge a nickel for good luck buddha belly rubs! See Everyone Tommorrow! Jodi
