Okay, I hope I read all the posts.....
I want to congratulate EVERYONE, first for accepting the challenge and second, for doing so well.
Tiff~ First I have to say that when you said you hate drinking that "devil water" I thought of the "Waterboy" have you seen it? Everytime his mom doesn't like something she calls it the "devil". It was so funny. So anyway, I still get a chuckle out it everytime I think about it. I am so proud of you
, you are doing so well.
Jello ~ you are truly an inspiration. I hope to get back on the wagon w/ a vengence!!
I wish I could remember everything I just read, but things are just spinning in my head right now.

Okay, about my 4 day vacation. Had a good time in Reno. Came home with $300 in my pocket! Which is a lot more than what I left with. I seemed to be on a mini roll. I decided that I was going to take $20 and play the dollar machines (something I rarely do). and within minutes won $100, and that kinda set the tone for the trip. We hit Boomtown on our way out of Reno and I won $250 on a quater machine and then another $150 on a .50 machine. So all in all I had a blast.
Saturday, we went to the "flea market" or what some may call a "swap meet". DH and I got some Raider license plates and he got me a license plate frame that reads "I know it's cute, but get off my A$$!". (I wish it said I know it's "BIG" but get off my .......)If there's one thing I hate, it's for people to be riding me.
GGgrrrrr. Got home and BBQ'd. A friend bought me a pair of capri's for my birthday and they were 2 sizes smaller than I normally buy at Lane Bryants, and guess what? I'm wearing them right now!! YYeeeeHHaaww!! Saturday night went and got another tattoo. Got a butterfly (colored in) with the name of all 3 of my kids around it. Why did I have to give them such long names? Cheyenne, Lucas (not bad)& Kaleigha. Very costly....$120, but I'm happy I FINALLY did it. I've been meaning to get my kids' names, but just didn't know where I wanted them, etc..... Oh yeah, it's on my calf. I figure I'm safe there, there won't be any saggage when I get to my goal weight.
Sunday, went and put about $1000 worth of stuff on lay-away, for all 4 kids and DH. We don't have to worry about "back to school" shopping, as we only have Adriana every other weekend and Cheye is still in Pre-school. But they all need winter clothes. DH got 4 pairs of jeans and tennis shoes. The good thing is....none of them will be in need this winter. We got everything, from Jackets, socks, panties and outfits to shoes. I didn't get anything! I refuse!!! Then we went to another aunt's and BBQ'd AGAIN! Yikes.... we were some BBG'ing freaks!
I did pretty good on the water, sucked on the food. Hard, to gauge things at the Buffets in Reno. Does walking in circles at the casinos and walking around the flea market count as exercise? Hehe..... Don't worry, I didn't count it.
Oh yeah, Thank you all for the birthday wishes! It really makes your day, when people remember you.
