I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good morning Margo and my wonderful OFFer's!!
Wow Margo, you sure have had a lot of activity on the house. The law of averages dictates that with all the showings, someone is going to make a deal. I can feel it in my bones!
My thoughts will be will you this weekend as you show the house and go to the memorial. I know it will be tough for everyone.
Last night was our monthly support group meeting. We had a small turn out, only 11(including me) in the post op meeting, but between us we have lost almost 1,000 lbs. One lady has lost 170lbs in 10 months. She was the star of the show! The pre-op group was very big, probably 50+ people, all hopeful and looking for all the right answers. We do the best we can.
I miss some of our folks too! Come out, come out wherever you are!!!!
Annette, hope you're resting and getting better
Jeannie, thanks for a lively discussion yesterday. It was fun!
Everyone have a great day. I have to get ready for work. We're having a surprise pot luck for a co-worker's birthday, so I have to get that all done up for transport.
Hugs to all!!!

I am here, just having a very hard time lately...... Finally put on some weight. Slipped off the alcohol wagon and got in trouble again...sober now for 24 days. Met another women from my old job who also got the transfer addiction devil and got an ucler and was rushed to surgery. Life is not what I expected and that is so hard. It is so easy to hide and that is what I am doing. Difficult to converse with people.
Monica:
Don't be a stranger. I too struggle with addictions ... mine is spending ... maybe not as serious as alcohol, but really deadly for me since I had to declare bankruptcy because of it (not really a transfer addiction because I had it along with overeating). When I'm lonely and bored, I want to buy things and talk to someone ... and so I call QVC so I can talk to someone ... I know, stupid. I am in therapy for my emotional eating and spending, and I think I'll probably be there for the rest of my life, because I keep slipping back. It's also why I stay on this board, to stay connected. I know I babble on a lot, and that probably ticks some people off, but if I didn't have this board to unload on, I'd probably be 400 pounds again and deeper in debt.
When I get the need, I call a friend and talk. So pick up the phone ... I'm in the directory and I'm home all day (I work nights, though ... so not too early). I'm always willing to listen.

Have you tried offering your home on Craigslist? It's free and lots of people out here use it. I've bought both my past cars on it. We buys lots of stuff on craigslist and sell lots because of the free listing.

Morning Margo & OFF Peeps!
Hope you get a buyer in short order and that you get some time to yourself this weekend ;)
TGIF!!! So happy it's finally here, work has been WORK with all caps this past week and I am glad that I have nothing too pressing this weekend, though I am meeting with Jacki (Mystic) (from our Forum) for lunch tomorrow, which I am looking forward to, along with mowing the front and backyards, vacuuming Dillinger furballs, laundry, cooking,, taking my roommate to visit someone on Sunday, so glad I don't have anything else on the agenda for the weekend (lol). . . Thank God I've lost weight, because I now have the energy to do all the things on my list and sitting still has become the problem, rather than the thing I always did before. . .
Well folks, I gotta get busy so I can get out the door. . .
Wishing you all a great day!
Hugs, prayers & positive thoughts, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
