Hey girls...
As far as the war talk, hubby who is way more up on current events than I am told me that France and Germany also get the majority of their oil from Iraq, and their supply will be cut off if they are in on a declaration of war against Iraq. I couldn't understand how allies could be at such disagreement about what to do. But when he told me that, that made a lot of sense. Another thing that I think of is that if we don't get tough with Sadaam now, we're going to get some biological and nuclear stuff unleashed on our country. Having said that, I have a brother-in-law, two cousins, and lots of good friends in the millitary. The last thing I want to see is them go off and risk themselves. I just want everything to be over, I am so anxious about all of the unknowns.
Enough of that...this is my two week anniversary of WATP 3 mile DVD every day. I feel really good, and I can see my arm and leg muscles growing and firming up. Last week the scales at WI showed a 3 lb gain and I was so discouraged. SO hopefully tonight they'll show a loss.
I'm doing a quick WI tonight and then I'm coming home to host a stamping workshop. I only wish it was Jess leading it for me.
It's one of those workshops where you pay a fee to get in and there are so many projects ready to go, and you just go and stamp yourself silly. I am looking forward to having a drink with friends and visiting as we do something fun and relaxing together.
KT, glad to hear about your dad -- I've been thinking about you. Hang in there, and I hope that you have some people in your life who are strong for you just as you have been for your family... (besides your wonderful friends here).
TOnya, I am so proud of you. You are back on the WW wagon with a vengance. You are going to have the smallest *** in town this summer. I'll tell you what...endo f summer, come see me and we'll strut our tiny asses in front of all of the skinny-minnies at our local country club pool.
Lori, my hubby worked on the joint stars project down in Connecticut, so he had the same clearance and probably much the same engineering job that you had, with a lot of the same politics. He knows more than he can tell me about some of the stuff there, but I do tend to take his opinion for a lot just because of that. Sounds like a fun wedding! Maybe I'll plan a visit to my brother-in-law and crash.
Robin, I also giggle whenI hear the word fart, along with many other anatomical words. I just can't help it, no matter how old and mature I get, that part of me will never grow up. I think it's sad also if we lose that 10 year old within ourselves. Do you know my hubby still shrieks "Woooooooooo" every time the lights go out, just like we all did in elementary school? Life is more fun that way.
Belle,I concur with our good friends here on all points. You sound quite ridden with pregnancy symptoms, and there are lots out there that are defective. Do another one in a few days or go to the doctor. I also think that you should have Kier come open a can of Jersy whoop-*** on whoever ruined your carpet. Someone has to pay for that, and honey, it ain't gonna be you. As for the bf thing, if you are pregnant, would that change anything? That might be a very defining moment in your relationship, hearing him react to that. Do some soul searching, and do what's best for YOU!
Laura, my WATP buddy, (Jess, we are still waiting patiently for your tapes to come so you can join us), you are doing so well with your working out. I think you should shout it from the roof tops. You have workouts in hand, and you're taking on water next. All that's left is a steady reduction of points. This past time, to get into it, I planned a point value 10 points higher than my max, and steadily took one away each day until I was at my minimum. I never went through that big crazy food-a-holic withdrawl this way, so I recomment it! You will get back there, because you are a strong healthy woman with habits that support your healthy lifestyle! I have faith in you, girlfriend!
Well, better get house beautified for 10 of my friends to come inspect tonight (at least that's what i feel like they're always doing when they come over, even when they're not). Hope your days are great!
Love, Jayne
