Hello everyone.
It is such a nice day outside today. There was a tornado watch yesterday for several hours and it was really crappy outside, but today God has painted the sky a beautiful baby blue with plenty of white fluffy clouds. It is gorgeous outside. Almost makes me wish I liked the outdoors!
I'm doing better about it though. So now, to catch up:
2cute: I said a prayer for you today. I am so glad that you are ok. What would we ever do without you? I know that you probably feel absolutely awful. I have been in a car wreck too. A taxi cab ran a red light going downhill, in the rain and slammed into the right front corner of our car. I, did not have on a seatbelt, and as a result, hit my head on the windshield and busted it open and blacked out. I had to be taken out of the car by the fire dept. on a board with a neckbrace on. My husband and children were fine. They all had seatbelts on. I hurt and ached for days and carried around a nice set of black eyes for about a month. The car of course, was totaled. Thank goodness you are alright. Although I have never seen you face to face, (and someday I hope to) I love you, and the thought of not having 2cute around to kick my butt when I need it, is a real depressing thought. I am thankful that God spared a life (both of yours), He must have known how important you are and how much you mean to so many.
And I am soooo proud of you for not turning to food over this, because it would have been real easy to.
Baylee: You are a hoot girl! You don't know how much I needed that laugh. What a precious find you are! Thanks for the post!
I just read further down the post and saw you had a 9 lb. loss last week! You go girl! You are the bomb! Let's say it together.....Baylee....Baylee....Baylee!!!!
Michelle: How much strength I gather from you!
I thank you so much for my PM. It meant the world to me. I haven't responded to it yet, but I will. I'm trying the best I can to catch up on the thread right now. I do want to tell you how much your posts mean to me though. You are such a sweet and inspiring person and you always make me laugh. Thanks so much for being the wonderful person that you are and lifting up the shoulders of someone who has been dragging lately. I hope you know I will be there for you if you ever need me.
Lucky: Thanks again for the words of support. It is our job to be here for one another and I am sorry I fell down on my job lately. How is your weather doing?
Kat: How sweet are you? Thanks so much for the words of kindness. It's really hard for DH to understand why I struggle so much with my weight, because he's never really had a problem with his, but he does try his best. It means the world to me to be able to come here and talk to you guys and have you talk back to me and kick my butt when I need it. Thank you Kat for being a wonderful friend.
Jen: We all know what it feels like to give up, but remember we will never give up on you. Please come back to us and post.....you'll never know how much posting and talking with this wonderful group of people has done for me this week. I couldn't have made it without them. We are here for you.......never doubt it.
Theresa: Happy 4th anniversary at work! What color of flowers did you get? I know you haven't been here long......but that really doesn't matter. You have been where we have been and still are and that makes us family. Thank you so much for your inspiring words. They were so sweet. I look forward to getting to know you much better.
Thin: Thanks girl for the words of encouragement. I know I can always count on you. Are you still as busy as usual or have you got to slow down a little bit and smell the flowers?
And me and George (Foreman) have a love affair too.......I've worked that boy so hard, I may just have to trade him in for a new model!!
Malia: The description of the fair you went to sounded absolutely awesome! How I would love to be able to see something like that. And you gave me such a warm picture of you in my head......I can almost picture you sitting there with your book and cocoa......staring out at your secret garden. It sounds absolutely beautiful.......Thanks too for the words. I appreciate them. And congrats on the dress....I bet you look absolutely stunning.
Mary: The vegetable garden sounds great. We already have ours planted. We will have squash, onions, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage, radishes, cucumbers, peppers and okra. I am so excited. I don't think there is anything better than walking out into the back yard and gathering up your own vegetables for dinner!
Well guys, I think I posted to everyone and if I missed someone, I am truly sorry. I have been on here for over an hour now, but it was time well spent. I would also like to let you know that I have been OP all day today AND I did my walking video tape this morning. I'm not overdoing it.......but I have inched a little upward today instead of slipping.......and I know I have all of you to thank. You are the family I've always wanted. You are all so very precious to me. Take care and I will try to hop back in tonight.
