GUESS WHAT...GUESS WHAT...GUESS WHAT...GUESS WHAT!!! CAN U GUESS???
This is so exciting (for me anyways
)...Yes I booked a trip - I am going to JAMAICA MON.... isn't that exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...and here's the even better news.....was emailing a gf of mine who I used to work with - she asks me "are you going anywhere?' (she is quite aware of my travelling tendencies and my constant search for a "good deal")....so I email back about my tentative plans. She calls me and says she wants to go (with her hubby and 18 yr old and 12 yr old boys).....saw the links/pics I sent her and is very interested (see
http://www.riubambu.com/RIU_WEB_PAGE...GRIL_MENUE.htm )
Next thing you know she has called her dh (who is on his way to Germany on business back on friday night) and they discuss and they go ahead and book it!!!...can you believe this??? I am SO THRILLED - she and I get along quite well and while I was going anyways w/my boys, it will be much more fun for me to have someone my "age" to chat with, and have drinks/dinner etc. How freaky is that? WE ARE BOTH SO EXCITED WE ARE BURSTING.
So cut to the "other" gf who said she couldn't come due to finances and no comittments.....can we say "cranky"...finally calls me tonight to see what I"m doing and I say "I'm off to Jamaica MON".....price has dropped and we're booked to go! Oh she says - well I got an extension on our line of credit and I can travel now "that's nice" I reply. So she says "maybe I can get there on sat and we can all go"...sure I respond (knowing full well this will never happen!). Says she will call me back...sure I say!
Calls me back a couple of hours later - "did you read the reviews? someone got sick there!'...Ya I know I say - but I'm still going....."did you know it was a 1 hr bus ride from the airport?"...Ya I know I say, but I"m still going.....silence at her end "send me a postcard" she says.....and that's it! I am so glad I did not wait for her to make any plans with - I have definitely learned my lesson!
Now I wish I was thinner of course and a bit embarrased of being in my bathing suit or shorts, esp w/people I actually "know". My gf is a few years older than me, maybe 10-15 lbs overweight but in pretty good shape for her age.....I feel like a blob! Oh well - will do my best with what I have!
Have to get documentation together and hit the bank for US$!!!
Angela - thanks for starting the new thread - I agree the other was way too long... and don't fret about your weigh-in...be happy that you are well and you can continue w/your exercising and food plan as you can!
I also love the smothered barley chicken - made it last week - and ate it all week!
Lisa - good luck w/weigh in - I know the exercising helps. I am still so afraid to exercise - esp since I will be travelling soon. Going for physio tomorrow and friday and trying to make sure I can "walk" without pain and lack of mobility - I am worried if I get on treadmill or do anything too vigorous I will re-injure myself and be immobile for my trip. Hoping that swimming in the pool (the one w/the swim up bar?
) might be some good exercise I can do on my vacation as it will not stress the painful areas.
Kathy - how goes it? Hope you had a great core day! You too Linda! - Let us know how you're doing!
Now I am worrying about work of course as I have a TON of stuff to complete before I can go (or go with a clear conscience that is!
)
