A most humble thanks

I'm still just speechless over the gift I received yesterday from all the "OH Girls Gone Wild".  If you all could crawl in my brain and feel just how sincerely SHOCKED I was - and still AM, over your kindness...?  I just don't get it.  I know everyone really had a great time, I did too!  And I get that you appreciate my setting it up, but you truly overestimate the amount of "work" that went into it...  I've said it before, and I'll say it again - it's totally selfish on MY part.  I want to do these things, so - I do 'em!  I guess that's how I operate.  It doesn't seem like work when you're doing things because you WANT TO! I don't mean to come across as ungrateful, because I am so far beyond grateful, you have no idea.  I do NOT pamper myself.  The one time I DID go anywhere for a massage, I was so uptight I had a hard time relaxing and enjoying it!  But I WILL enjoy this gift you all gave me.  I will smile - and probably cry, thinking about how much you all mean to me. So from the bottom of my heart,  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!  (yeah, I know...  'didn't she say "speechless"?' 

That brought tears to my eyes Miss Darladee!  Can't wait to do it again! We should do some horsback riding when it gets warmer!!! whatcha think? (after that toe heals of course!) Many hugs Lisa.

toe, schmoe.  I'd let a horsie stomp my OTHER foot if it meant I could go riding again!!!

Darla, You are so very much loved!!  We all had a fabulous time because of you.  It was a chance to meet so many amazing women, a time to completely relax and leave all stress and worries behind, a time to get much needed hugs and encouragement from others in the same boat, a time to see that the "bad" parts of WLS affect us all (namely saggy skin!), a time for underwear burning (LOL) and a time to love and be loved. Who would have ever thought that I could love "strangers" as much as I do, even the ones I've not met yet????? Thank you for all you did, Debi

Well YOU are a doll, your smile simply lights up a room, and YOU NEED A NEW AVATAR WITH YOUR CURRENT FOXY HAIR COLOR!!!  Seriously, it was a real pleasure to meet you!!!

You are truely an amazing woman and we love you.... We know we didn't have to do this and likewise you didn't need to do what you did either.  We had a blast and I am still re-  cooperating.  LOL Have a great week Marsha

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!  You are a chick magnet, you know that? What I REALLY want to know is.... did you go HOME commando, and if so, what the dickens did your hubby think about THAT???

Just think with all the laughter we did we probably built up some ab muscles!!!  Woohooo! Seriously though - I know you don't think it's much work, but being able to just "show up" and enjoy myself is a great gift and there just isn't enough words to tell you how much it means.  So relax and enjoy a massage or a mani/pedi  - of if you're a little afraid of a full massage - get a facial - they do a little massage just on the shoulders and arms and it is so fabulous!!!! I love you girlie!

Tracy, you WERE there for the  big "toe reveal", right?   There isn't a pedicurist in the world I'd let near THESE piggies.  One set of toes would hurt like hell, and the other would send him/her running in mortal terror. Nope, I'm thinking I'll probably go with a massage. Oh - and me & Bailey enjoyed a Starbucks moment last night, and we toasted you and Alfie.  And then she chewed me out for the role I played in both the overnight and the 2 cookie shops ending up on the same weekend.  I'm evil.  I love you. 

I'm just sorry I couldn't make it to see you open it!!!  Love you -- and you sooooo deserved the gift!!! XXOO
