Got my hair cut today, nearly started crying when she said it showed off my beautiful eyes better. I have a really big case of the uglies again.....

Oh Den... you are beautiful all over, sweetie! I'm sorry you're feeling crappy about yourself. It does make a difference getting a compliment from someone who's not biased. Like a hairdresser. Because I know that when I tell you you're beautiful, you won't believe me, because you know I love you. I'M NOT JUST BEING POLITE!!! You're beautiful!!! (and believe me, I know! I have an eye for women! :lol: )
:grouphug:

I did it! I started exercising yesterday! I didnt/couldnt do much, but I did get my body to moving and I'm so excited about that. I know I can do this, so yep this is me tooting my own horn, lol.

My TA DA is that I managed the whole West Coast trip without losing it with Harry! I got very close once but dealt with it in a semi-mature manner! I was travel agent, banker, nursemaid, dietician, navigator, chauffeur... you name it ... on this trip and all went well. Good for me!

Good for you indeed, Ruth, you're a real trooper! Welcome back!! :)

Thank you Ellis.......





.......I love you too you sexy thang you!!!!!:devil:

Ruth, you're a honkin' saint. :lol: Lucky Harry. Can you take ME next time please? :D

Taxes: 2 down and 2 to go......

Not much...
 

Yesterday... 1 hour of spring yard clean up (ok, actually fall clean up that I never did :dz: )

Today... grocery shopping.

Thats it... have been very tired and yucky lately, so this is an accomplishment.

On Friday DH and I did every stitch of laundry in the house, including towels, sheets and comforters, and then did all of our packing:cb:

Congrats for starting to exercise Aradia! :strong:

and congrats to Ruthxxx for surviving her trip without killing Harry :lol:

Ta da!
 

I am happy to report that I am starting to actually feel thinner! I don't know if it was breaking into the 170's:dance: or that I'm so close to losing 20 pounds :cp: ... but I'm feeling much better about my body these days. For the first time I am actually starting to think that I will be successful in losing all of my weight. I am able to visualize myself as a lean and strong woman at an ideal weight rather than as a fat failure. I guess I am starting to feel some hope and confidence! It certainly makes this journey a lot easier. And that is one big Ta Da for me!

Mauvais... have a wonderful trip!!! :dance:

I hung up my windchimes and my laterns out back! Used the drill and a ladder too!

Have a good trip Mauvais!!!
You have also inspired me to do all my laundry. So I now have clean sheets & towels.

Sojo - I am glad you are feeling better. :)

Other ta-da's - I went for a walk. I finished a few of my ceramic pieces I have been working on. I did all the dishes in my sink. Now to work on cleaning off my living room table.

FINISHED TAXES!!!!!!!!!!

Mauvais-Hope you have a wonderful trip!! Raise a glass to all of us stuck here doing the laundry that we didn't do over the weekend. (sob)
