Hey chickies!
Did you all get the storm we did here yesterday. Man we got snow, sleet, freezing rain and now we are getting rain and lots of it. What a mess! But it can't dampen my spirits! I just wanted to check in with all you non-smokers and say move on over I have joined you. I have two full clean, healthy lungs of smoke free living in and I like it. It feels so good to be able to run longer and harder on that old treadmill. Nothing like Speedy Ellis there, but I can run 2.5 minutes at a time and I do that ever 2 minutes. I feel good, na, na, na,na, na, na, na, and I knew that I would!
Big squishy hugs to everyone!
Virginia

CONGRATULATIONS!!!VIRGINIA!!!!!

Great job quitting smoking! (And getting the tattoo too!!!)

HI!! To all the rest of you!!

Well!! Try something fancy and I have no control over it!!!

Good morning ladies,

Letting you all know that my widsom teeth experience went well!
There were no complications when they pulled the teeth(which they had antisipated on). So that meant that I had no stitches!
I woke up with gauze in my mouth. Which was making my mouth so dry and difficult for me to talk. By early evening the gauze was making me gag, which I hated so I ended up taking them out. My mouth was still bleeding a bit and really didn't stop until Saturday morning. By about 7 p.m. Friday evening I had some chicken noodle soup, pudding and oatmeal. I have some mild swelling and some discomfort but nothing like I thought I was going to have. I've only taken 3 or 4 tylenol 3's for pain. Didn't even need the demerol! I have to go back on Thursday for a "check-up" to see how things are healing.
Oh and because it was an uncomplicated pull.....the total bill was $330 cheaper than the estimate he gave me!

Needless to say, my diet was out the window this weekend! So I'm starting fresh today! I want to be able to wear a slinky dress for xmas and New Year's Parties!

I'm glad to hear that you all are doing fine and are well. I wanted to post to you ladies earlier but have been busy this weekend.
The kids and I put up the xmas tree and all the decorations yesterday. We made gingerbread cookies and did a xmas craft too.

Saturday afternoon we started to get some snow. They were calling for a winter storm watch for all of south-western Ontario. It never really amounted to much. We were still getting some snow yesterday, very tiny flakes that weren't staying on the round. So we've only a dusting of snow on the ground, but it is freezing out this morning.

Well, I've babbled long enough. Time to get my breakfast in me. I'll pop back in here later and see what you ladies are up to.

Take care.
Kelly

You're in a mess, Virginia! We just got snow. Which I would like to complain bitterly about, but I won't.

I'm so happy for you that you're a non-smoker! (no offense to the smokers) You must feel great. And I bet you smell better, too. And you're doing GREAT with the running! I know what an accomplishment that is! Congratulations!

Hi Den. Nice HTML.

Hi Kelly! Glad to hear that your tooth experience wasn't as bad as you expected!

Soozie,

Gee, Den. I wish she's miss US as much when we step out for a few minutes.

I miss and love you all Ellis! ~SMOOCH~
You are too funny!
Virginia

How sweet. She loves us too, Den.

Virginia...... congrats on the smoking. I've never smoked, but I've heard that is hard to break from - so you have my admiration...
