Yippeeeeee! I've been waiting for this day!!!!! I'm going to lean over and twirl mine

Annie, darlin', I know what you meant about move on, and calling yourself a boob...I was just making a joke and trying to get you to smile a little...glad it worked! We should all make it a move your boobs day and see how the world (or at least our little corners of it) react!

Happy - Do yours twirl in the same direction? I've never been quite talented enough to get the girls to go in opposite directions!

BTW, Annie, I LOVE Pica de Gallo! The chunkier the better! Much better than plain ol' smooth salsa.

Michelle, I just leaned over and tried - I hope my pod mates were focused on their computer screens Hard to tell but I think they were each going in a different direction - they hang farther than my eyes can see. The nips scraped my shoe tops. Good thing I have suede on today.

Hey Laura - Yuck about the Hoarders show. I don't hoard food...but I do have a bit of clutter around....I hate throwing things away. One of these days I'll go through my house with a shovel and throw the lot out. Sorry about your TV, but congrats on getting another one. I LOVE Craigslist. In fact, we bought our practically brand new sofa and loveseat off of Craigslist Chicago. Thanks for the kind words of support and encouragement! I'm not giving up this time. I've done that before only to gain back all that I've lost and then some. This time I'm in it for the long haul. Congrats on your BF winning the ticket fight! And it sounds like you're having a wonderful day to start your vacay! I hope the rest of it is just as lovely. As for turkey bacon...I've never tried any...but I have recently tried turkey pepperoni. You can have 17 slices for 2 WW points! Yummm!!

Happy - OMG I almost fell out of my chair laughing! I think my co-workers are wondering what the heck is so dang funny! I'm glad you're wearing suede shoes so the nips at least rubbed against something smooth! BTW, per Annie's earlier email...you're a day early...today is WHY ME DAY (or is it WHY MEN DAY ? ) TOMORROW IS MOVE YOUR BOOBS DAY. But you're getting in good practice...maybe next time try the twirling in front of DH and he can confirm whether or not they go in the same direction!

Laura...sounds like a very relaxing vacation. Enjoy your time off. It will go fast.

Happy...OMG..will you need bandaides for your nips? Holy cow! Yet another smile on my face.

Chelle...I am not going to even try the twirling thing, would probably smack myself in the face with the dangly, stretchy things and knock myself out.

A bit of good news, however not completely out of the clearing. Boss lady told her boss she will be in it for the long run and as long as she has a job, I have a job. Which is really no different only that she sounds more like she might stay rather than go. IDK, I am so confused at this point.

Annie - I'm glad that your boss has decided to stay put for now! That's gotta be a bit of a relief for you. You don't have to try the twirling...just move the girls however you want (move the boobs day is tomorrow, remember). And if you need help movin' 'em, maybe T would like to help.

yikes Annie, I don't know what to make of boss' comment either - just glad to hear that you are safe for the moment.

Morning all,

Annie - I hope that means good things for you and the job. If you don't mind, I won't try the twirling of the boobs for boobs day. It becomes uncomfortable when you lose your balance and tip forward and then tread on one or the other or both trying to regain the equilibrium.
Also I hope the DD comes through this next bout with flying colours. I'll give her courage and determination in spades. I would have said take it away, cut it off, do away with it etc., long before now.

Michelle - glad to hear you are on the improve and are heeding the dire warnings about relapses and not overdoing things. You've had a bit of a rough trot recently with flu, backs, asthma etc.

Happy - brushing the nipples against the blue suede shoes????? Now there could be an interesting sensation. Had to laugh about your Mums phone blues. I will be in the same boat next week since the provider has decided I am loyalty personified and upped my free calls and given me a new phone. There isn't much wrong with the old one and I quite like it even if I can't easily find all the gizmo's I used to be able to find.

Laura and Ceejay - enjoy your respective breaks. You've both really earned them so don't waste the time.

Mel - turn out the lights, open the curtains and enjoy the light and sound show. Awesome. Maintenance running smoothly?! WTF???! Watch out. Usually goes to **** in a handcart if I say something like that.

I'm off to fix my recent spate of boo boos. I went to pull my debit card out of the wallet yesterday to pay for the petrol and car wash and it wasn't there. Rung the bank to find out if it had been used - it hasn't and here are the last places you used it. Rung the electical shop and lo and behold the lovely man there has it all safe and sound in his till. I apparently dropped it on the floor of the shop and he picked it up and chased after me, but I was gone. Lucky me. I found someone honest!
Then I went to pick up the tiles for the trim on loo walls. Got them home, measured them out, worked out where I had to cut etc., and then DS2 pointed out they are floor tiles and not wall tiles and they will stand out on the wall compared to the other tiles. So back to the tile shop this morning to try to exchange them. Pity, because I just loved them and it took me ages to find them.

I have a list to beat all to-do lists today so I had better get on and do some things. I have a couple of scientific experiments going on in the fridge too. Aaaarrrgh.

And for those suffering from friction from the suede, flu's, worry, vacation days, and maintenance well being, here is a new rose out this morning. This is Radio Times and is just lovely and smells too good.

You ladies make me laugh,a twirling boob day.

Happy
I don't think I could have tried that in front of the all seeing eye, camera. I was doing neck rolls one afternoon and felt some one watching me. My boss had brought over a new employee to view the plant. The boss didn't say any thing. He may have thought I was sleeping. I was doing a back wash precedure at the time, too. Lord I hope he wasn't thinking I was having seizures!

Michelle
Don't you give up girlfriend. I'm starting again this week end on my weight loss journey. I've been watching Oprah and Dr Oz has made some very good remarks on weight and one of them hit home to me. Fat around your back and stomach can sqeeze the internal organs causing all sorts of ailments. This may be where my blood pressure problem lies. I want this spare tire deflated.

Annie
I am glad that things are looking more in your favor at work. Prayers and hugs are being sent on behalf of you dd. She's too young to be dealing with this ordeal.

Shad
To bad the tiles were for the floor. But great news that the card was found. The ordeal with the bank card would have driven me nuts.

Hello to Mel, Patty and Laura. I didn't go back and read all the posts so I'll catch up tomorrow.

My RediSetGo appliance was here when I got home and after all the rain yesterday the card board box was soaked. I'm ready to try this thing and see if it meets it's reputation on QVC. If not it's going back.

When I was coming home tonight and was ready to turn on my street I saw the girls making their way down the street. I was not ready for them yet. Tomorrow I will be. I decided to go to the interstate in search of food. I bought a fried pork chop and okra. It was a little spicy--to much blach pepper. I'm really hungry for some fresh corn on the cob, green beans etc. I want my healthy eating habits to return.
Here's my plan for the girls tomorrow. If they need gas money it will not be given to them and I will tell them that a friend is going to mow from now on, plus weed eat and trim the bushes. If they do have the gas and want to mow, tomorrow will be their last day and I will tell them that I have myself on a schedule of going to be early.They can come if I'm home on the week end at least once. Last night I was in the bed by 8.30 p.m. I didn't get to exercise because I watched a show on VTN. I've been riding the bike for 15 minutes/4.3 miles/200 burned calories each night. Now to get my eating under control. I've had Slim Fast a couple of nights after work and I don't feel as bloated. I really need to be careful of the sugar intake and carb intake. I've learned that to much sugar can give me colitis and to many carbs can make me bloated.
Some of the girls in the blogs have been using photo's of what they eat. I'm thinking very seriously about doing this. Visual aids may help me see just exactly what I'm putting in my mouth.

Morning ladies,

Apparently there are some strong storms just west of me. Lots of lightning strikes. I'd rather be in the office than driving through it. So no time to post right now, gotta get on the road. Back later.
