Thanks, Nic!!!  I didn't say my brother WASN'T an idiot - he is, sometimes!!!  But keep reaching out to your brother - he's a lucky man to have you in his life!!

Awww, sorry Emma has to leave early than you thought!!  Make sure you let us know what you get!!!

Have a wonderful pre-birthday!!  Enjoy your dinner and your hubby!

Morning all!  My it's FREEZING out there this morning!

Sorry about all the tooth issues going on with everyone.  I guess I should make an appointment with my dentist since I haven't been in a few years!!

Tia - glad you got your shots!  Hopefully the Spenco inserts will do the trick as custom orthotics are EXPENSIVE and insurance doesn't cover them - at least mine didn't.  It was $300 for the first pair and $150 for the second.  UGH!

Darla - glad you got to the doctor and hope everything gets worked out!

Today I'm grateful...

1.  That I am a much stronger person than I used to be.  I used to be a doormat but vowed several years ago that that would NEVER happen to me again!

2.  For my 4 furbabies...they kept me warm last night...it was COLD when I let them out for the last time and I had to go out in it because Jake didn't feel like coming in when the rest of them did.

3.  For all of you!!

Have a good day everyone!

 

Hey sweetie!!!

Yes, get your butt to the dentist!!  Since we now malabsorb, it's even more important since loss of Vit D can also mean loss of teeth!!!  Can't have you looking like you're from Essex/Middle River now, can we????

The beauty of having an HMO is that although I have to go to certain drs., just about everything short of a lobotomy is covered!!!  Meaning - custom orthotics = $0!!!!!  But yes, I'm hoping the shot and inserts help, anyway!!!

Believe it or not, I used to be a doormat, too.  Especially when it came to men.  No more!!

WHY OH WHY do the furbabies pick the coldest night to say, "Awww, Mom, I'm not ready to come in yet!!  Just 5 more minutes, please!!!!!"  LOL!!!  Happy does the same thing, thumbing her nose at me!!!!  LOL!!!

Countdown to NYC is underway!!  WOO-HOO!!!

Hugs,

Yeah I hear ya!  We didn't go all that regularly growing up so that's kind of remained with me into my adult years.  I need to make it a habit as I've been extremely luck so far!

Hmmmm...I've always had HMO's until the beginning of this year and they've never covered prosthetics, which is what orthotics are considered.  Grrr!

Less than 2 weeks baby!

I'm so busy today that I barely got a chance to check the forums.  :(

Today, I'm grateful for:

1. My new running shoes.  My feet hurt so bad  yesterday that I was limping all day.  I didn't know if I would be able to do the gym today, but the new shoes made it a breeze!

2.  For a hubby who will give up his evening to drive me all around town until 10 pm looking for the perfect pair of shoes.  (And he's the one who always puts my shoes on, so he put a lot of shoes on me last night.

3.  That other than laundry and cooking, I have nothing planned for tonight.  I need a down night.  Tomorrow is my support group in Glen Burnie.  :)

Sending your feet a virtual massage, Jenn!!!!  When your feet hurt, EVERYTHING hurts!!!  Glad you were able to find comfortable shoes.  It's always a hassle when you have feet issues.

And sending your hubby a virtual hug, too!!!  He puts your shoes on?  What a man!!

Have a great day!!

Hugs,

Tia

He actually hates it if I put my own shoes on.  It's something about spoiling me.  He feels he's taking care of me if he puts my shoes on me.  :)   Also,  I'm not allowed to carry anything!  The man won't even let me carry groceries in from the car.  I'm so spoiled!  :)  He's worried I will leave him when I get skinny, but he's been doing all this for me since we were first dating.  How could I ever leave all this???  :)

Another thing I'm grateful for today-  Ex's that see your worth.  I had an ex tell me today that he still has a crush on me.  He hung out with my husband and I on Saturday and he told me that he is still very attracted to me.  :)  I'm very happy with my hubby and I know he appreciates me, but it's nice to get a second opinion.  :)

Awww, how sweet!!  You know, it's not uncommon for spouses, particularly men, to become "afraid you'll leave when you become skinny - just reinforce to him what you told us!!

That's great about your ex, but that may contribute to your husband's unease, too, if he thinks other men are attracted to you.

Men!!  Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em!

I told my hubby that I'm not going anywhere.  I didn't "settle" for him.  I was older, already dealing with raising my son on my own and had my Bachelor's degree.  I didn't have to get married.  I didn't "need" anyone to complete my life.  I had dated tons of guys and knew he was the one for me.   :)

I'm not telling him about the friend.  There are somethings he need not know.  (He'd actually be okay with it tho...  My son's father was the best man at our wedding.)
