Hi girls!
Just checking in briefly before bed.
I ended up getting a call last night at 4:30 about an open check for
Saw II at the theatre I play "showgirl" at. It started LAST NIGHT!!!
Apparently, my company got a new client, Lions Gate films, and so I had to turn my van around and head out there right away to do the counts last night. Universal Pictures, who I usually count for, only counts Saturdays and Sundays. Well, apparently, Lions Gate wants a Friday night count too. The money will be nice, but I didn't expect to be tied up this weekend!
I was also scheduled for the "sneak peek" of
Zathura so Honey and I got to watch that one. It was pretty cute. Very
Jumanji - like. It was entertaining if you've got some kids.
Food has been pretty horrible lately. I've been doing fast food again and not making the best choices I could. I'm not real happy with myself right now.
Ruth: Hope you're having alot of fun with your company this weekend. When will they be leaving? Tomorrow night?
Valerie: I LOVE
dinner theatre. When we lived in North Carolina there was a really neat one. You went in and the place was built in a square. It had a main floor that was sqare and then it had 3 tiered layers going all the way around that held the dining tables where patrons sat. On the main floor was where they set out a wonderful buffet spread. Then when everyone had been served they removed the buffet tables and dropped the stage out of the ceiling. It was really cool.
I'm sure glad you're being able to ride, even if it's only a little bit at first. I love horses and I love to hear you and Terri talk about them.
Lilion: I'll just refer to you as "perky". How's that???
Congrats on the loss AND on fitting into all those old clothes. That's really wonderful.
BarbG: I'm reallly glad Alvin seems to like the new job. That's more than half the battle!
Jen: I'm lazy too when it comes to exercise. I hope to one day get inspired but until then I'll cheer you on.
Hey, did you get any damage from the hurricane or are you far enough north???
2Cute: It is sooooo good to see you here! I'm glad you finally dragged back in, we've missed your input here. Please come and write it all out. I know it does you a world of good and it helps all of us too.
Michelle: It's good to see you too. I wish you would come back more often and if it's 2cute being here, well so be it. Tell us all about how you're liking North Carolina so I can live vicariously through you.
Steph: It's great to see you too! Boy, it's like old home week. I see you didn't get back here after the gym and groceries, but you better stop in again soon. What's shakin' in New Jersey????
Terri: Good for you working back up to your norm when it comes to exercise. * Yes, we all watch
Lost here but dang it's confusing, frustrating and down right twisted. Maybe that's what keeps us tuned in.
Are you watching
Survivor this Fall? We're hooked on that and
Apprentice (Donald's NOT Martha's) again. It's about time Stephanie's tribe caught a break. And those girls on
Apprentice are soooooo dumb. They are not using any skills whatsoever!
Well girls, I wasn't going to do any replies because I wanted to get to bed
, but I did them anyway so I wouldn't feel so far behind. I am going to leave you now though. Hope you all make tomorrow a GREAT day. I'll be pretty scarce as I've gotta do my "showgirl" thing again tomorrow. See you all later. Love
ya bunches!
... and then ...

and 
and an update on me.
Actually, I'm going to call it VERY EARLY perimenopause if that's what it is! I was told today that I'm way different than I was 70 lbs ago. My friend said I was more "chipper". I've never been "chipper" before. I'm not sure I like being "chipper". That sounds like someone named "Bubbles" or "Buffy"!

I actually did ride the morab a few weeks ago. I wasn't always this weight and used to ride pretty well - like a banshee, actually, and usually bareback, even when I was over 200. The muscles remember their jobs, but there's no way they can balance all this weight. I tear myself up something fierce trying to really ride. Also, I worry about straining his back and other muscles since I ride so infrequently. He's an older horse and has never had any unsoundness, but he also isn't under any other work. When I rode last month I told myself I'd just get up for 5 min or so - just a couple laps around the arena. But as soon as I was up I was "high"! We walked to the field at the top of the drive and I stayed up for 20-25 minutes. It was heaven! Well, for me at least, but I was on top. 
I have a treadmill to use at home for some arobics on the off days. The environment is so great there, I can hardly wait to go back. I also got my eating 100% back on track yesterday, started drinking water again (although I only had about 30-35 oz) and today the scale has dropped back to 301 as of this morning. THe new haircut is a good one and helps add even more to my new attiTUDE.... gotta use 'im ... 
Huh? It's not the destination that's important, it's the direction. Like the pioneers moving West, I'll decide when to quit when I get there.
I am too tired to post tonight. DH and I went to the movies and saw the new Zorro Movie. If you liked the first one you will like this one too. 
ohmygosh, my downfall!) with my fish and rice (oops, more starch), and I split a piece of cheesecake (just an inch off the point). Oh, did I mention one small glass of wine before dinner? 
Anyway, I really enjoyed the evening, and I could have done a lot worse. As long as I don't spend the next 3 days with cravings I'll be fine.
In case you don't have a clue what I am talking about...I have company for the weekend. Guest I need to get back to
