HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNER NANNERS! 
You just stop w/the thinking that you weren't good company @ lunch. NONSENSE. Hanna, you just don't see the bright ring of light around you...everyone else does. Even w/all your seemingly insurmountable challenges, you continue to exude happiness and support. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. I strongly believe there are angels among us...and they are the last to know their purpose. You were dropped down baby guuurl...to show us all how to live life. Don't for a second think you're not wonderful-let us be the judges of that. It's pretty amazing how your illiminous spirit radiates so strongly to be felt by all of us through posts on a computer. I think if we were meeting up w/ya in person we'd either all have to invest in a case of Ray-Bans, or we'd go Stevie Wonder on ya! LOVE YOU!
Joan: How are you my little cinnamon sprinkled deep fried ice cream served on a chocolate dipped waffle cone? How's the house?
Big John: WAAAAZZZZ UPPPP? My dryer still smells funky once in awhile...I think the thingy needs to be cleaned by thingy cleaning people...even though there is only one user and the dryer is only like a year old and the hose is super short-it only has about 3 feet to reach the outside vent (slab house, so it's on the main floor).
Lauren: Hey mama-what's shakin'? Shake it like a salt shaker diva! I posted more bulletins on myspace...I KNOW how you love those!
Hey, and guess what? I FINALLY GOT INTERNET @ HOME! Yeehaw! I'm also getting a bed this upcoming weekend! I know that sounds really dumb to be excited about...but for the past 5 years I have slept on my futon (made up as a bed) because back then I was really struggling and had to sell my bed for money...so yeah, I'm pretty jazzed about that....since I think part of my sleeping issues come from sleeping on, basically 1/2 a mattress. Ya know? And part of healing from the disaster of hypothyroidism is going to be getting recouperative sleep! I also treated myself to cable! I know, aren't I a nut??? I haven't had but 2 channels that come in and another 2 that sort of came in...in like 3 years-and I only had it then because our apt. bldg. was so small that the dish guy let several of us split a bill and counted the apts. like rooms-so we only had one hook up fee, etc.
GG: Hey XE mama! I miss you...where are the new hair pics???
Alicia: You are soooo sweet! All-she told me to hurry up back to the thread...basically to spice up the day....I think what she meant was, hurry back so we can assure ourselves that you are still nutty as ever!
Yup, I checked...nutty as ever...though more almondy vs. peanuty. LOL
Christina: Thanks for sending out my message yesterday! Everyone-this woman is SUCH an inspiration! If you haven't picked up on that yet-know it now. Love you guurl! BTW,
Lauren, Christina actually posts more bulletins than me!!!
Sheila: Hello my favorite phreak in the world of plain vanilla!
Lisa: How's it goin' sunshine?
Ken: Yo yo yo, what is up tho?
Roo-m-for-us-in your heart: Hey chicken! LOL...Just pickin' on u! I know, you missed me...don't try to deny it....I keep sayin', like a bad rash mama told you not to catch, I keep comin' back over and over...no cream will help ya dawg!
Kerri: Nice weather for riding eh? How are you?
Vicki/Karen K./Vanessa/Michelle/Michelle B. (if you're still around)/Tiff/Kerry/Kirsten/Clover/4Me/EVERYONE else: Gooten Morgun...ok, I KNOW that is not how you spell it, butcha new what I was meanin' right???
ALL: Sorry, havin' a tough time with the thyroid meds again. I feel loads better on the new type....but I've been very tired again....I just tried to fool myself into thinking that I wasn't. So, I tested on Friday and the results were back on Monday....TSH was @ a 33! Double digits! For those that don't know, the acceptable range, when your thyroid is working or your meds are working, is .27-4.5. So, I'm about 8x in the red, as it were, for energy. I told the dr. that I didn't understand how I could feel this much better when my levels are worse than ever! The worst they were before I went on medication is 9.3!!!! But then last night it dawned on me....in order for my body to compete with my new active lifestyle of working out again and dieting, the thyroid is having to really work on overdrive (which before it didn't because I could barely walk across the living room let alone run for a couple miles).....and thus, the levels are super depleted & TSH goes sky high! We decided (dr. & I) that we finally have the right meds for me...just not @ all the right dose...because he really skimped on it when we switched over from Synthroid..since my levels then were wayyyyyy tooooo looooow...even though I felt crappy. So, we (me, myself and I) are on a double dose and I get blood drawn yet again in another 2 months. Ya'all know how much I love that eh? NOT! But get this....I called the supervisor @ the hospital, and I actually get to request the phlebotomist (sp?) that I never have problems with!!!
I love that kid...he f'in rocks! Oh, but I am 11 pounds down!!! (I gained 4 oz. from yesterday as I went to Qdoba for lunch w/my friend Rich-totally platonic- & had the steak quesadilla instead of the low fat option of a naked burrito). Hummmph! Still keeping to my under 30 grams of fat per day, 60-80 grams of protein per day, 4 small meals per day and over 100 oz. of water per day...calories fluctuate right now from between 900-1,100. So, I'm sticking with it...and though I haven't been into the gym in over a week, I am running outside about 5 nights per week!
BTW, no dates lined up! Boo hoo me... I am supposed to be doing lunch w/Sean this afternoon but though he emailed me last night on myspace, he didn't mention it....I'm kind of hoping not because I just want to chill in the sun today before hitting the gym...I don't really feel like driving 1/2 hour just for a 45 minute lunch break while he's working! The guy I'm really interested in, well I think I screwed that up. I sent him a few moody text messages that kind of freaked him out...thyroid..this (Beaver) DAM thyroid disorder and my mood swings...not sure he's going to understand. Why, WHY does something always happen..mostly my doing...to ruin a potentially great thing when it comes to relationships? Pretty soon I'm going to forget how to...er, um...DO...IT! I'm not so sure it's like riding a bike..that you just get back on and get ride like the wind...I tried jumping rope the other day...I can't do it. Seriously, I kept tripping on the rope and flying into the couch. Moran, that should be my new nickname-Not MO, but MO-Ran! LOL
Ok lovely muffins and studrockets (do we have more than the three I know about?)...time to make the donuts....
Actually, I took my Armour an hour ago and I'm starving...time for breakfast...and my treat....a pepsi! Still no mt. dew (that was a comment for
Lisa and GG)!
Love you and still lurking (like Rooburger), MO
