How come normal is in quotes? Should I feel unwelcome? Are you saying the rest of you are normal?

I'm sorry... I'm not feeling sharp enough to respond to that at the present time. :D

Nah, we all just live outside the parameters of what is defined as normal by society's standards ;) and who really wants to be normal anyway? :lol: not me :devil:

Ruth-I think the point is that if you WERE normal you wouldn't fit in!!!!! Now that your wrists are (mostly) healed...was it worth it? I may need that surgewry eventually and I want the low down. What are the pros and cons?

Ellis-HIP HIP HURRAY!!!!!!! GREAT GOING!!!! (I'll be joining you on Sunday.)

Mauvais-Glad to see you so happy!! It is a nice day here too, which is a relief, because we have had a ot of rain here so far this summer!!!

I love myself today and to show it

1. I wore full make-up and didn't fake it!
2. I accept the love of others!
3. I do not reject compliments.

Miss Chris

Chris-Good going!!!!!

Good Stuff Chris! :cp:

I feel good since I am wearing a nice purple sundress and have my toenails painted a lovely shade of lavender. I am wearing my sun hat today and all in all feel summery chic :D

Sounds GREAT MAUVAIS!!!!

I'm feeling hot and miserable, but good because I have stuck to the program 2 days running.

What are you wearing today, Mauvais? A bikini? Geez it's hot...

Den, good for you sweetie!!! 2 days! That is honkin' amazing!
:cb:

Nope! Not going to be seen dead in public in a bikini! :lol:

Mauvais' fashion newsflash for the day:

I am wearing a black and white african print sundress, my hat and my funky sandals!

:lol:

WOW Mauvais! You are our fashion queen!!!

Ellis-YUP!! 2 days IS pretty miraculous!!! (I am SO geeked up, I do believe this is my time!!!)

Mauvais - I want your closet!

It's still cold here, I'm wearing a sweater!

I love myself today:

1. I went sailing yesterday even though I was scared AND I didn't push the annoying chick in our class off the boat. Aren't you proud!

2. I remembered my lunch when I left for work today!

3. I actually planned dinner!

Very impressive, Jessica! I seldom plan dinner, instead approaching the issue in a state of free-floating anxiety "oh lordy, what can I possibly make them for dinner!" In the background, sweet voices calling "Moommm? What are we having for dinner?"
And I say:

a. "I don't know!"
b. "I'm thinking about it!"
c. "Something good" (as if!)
d. "We are having ------- [fill in blank: mac and cheese, chicken, soup, salad, whatever]" to which one girl responds "oh goody!" and the other, inevitably, "Ohhh...but I don't really LIKE ------"

And me, if I am lucky, I can have a salad or something about 2 hours later!

And sailing! I am impressed w/that too - when did you take up sailing? Is it fun? Where do you sail?

Mauv- you are the fashion plate, I on the other hand is dressed in the regular work gear........Garage Attendent (may I check you oil ma'am) add steel toed boots the ever sexy hard hat and excluisively for evening wear the blue tinted safety glasses. LOL!

^5 Jessica for not throwing anyone off the boat, it gets easier as you get older ;-)

As far as dinner is concerned all my son wants to know is if we are eating out or in. Mommy and Daddy eat out WAYYYYYYYYTOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
