Titan,
Is Wednesday still on? Looking forward to finally meeting you!! We'll be at Ala. Grill at 4:30!!!!!!

Ramona,
Are you ok? By your post you sounded like you were either depressed or busy. Just worried about you!!! Hey...Post a picture of your hair!!!!

Gayle,
Did you sell the shot glass? When I went & looked today, I didn't see it. Chris collects them and thought I would see if it was gone.

Cheryl,
I'm glad you had a great time in Hot Springs. We missed you and I'm so glad you're back!!!!

Carol,
Are you ready for weigh-in tomorrow? Let us know how you did!! :)

I'm NOT giving up on Vicki, Doni, Jennelle or Jeanne!!! I'll keep asking about ya'll until you come back!! Miss you a lot!! :grouphug:

Going to wash dishes, iron, take shower and CRASH! :faint:

HUGS...........

Hi Girls!!!

YIPPPPEEEE! Cheryl made it back!!!!! We missed you!!!! Please fill us in on all of the fun details!!!

Ramona: Did you already have the reunion? Maybe I missed a posting about it. Is the hairstyle working out better for you??

Deb: I'm so excited for you guys! I know you work hard for your money, it's nice to find something that, as a married couple, you can invest in and share. You will love it!

Sher: Ya, I sold it... :mad: But now I have a new mission...I will be on the lookout for shotglasses that Chris might like to add to his collection. I almost had a cute, cute cola soap dispenser for you!!!! The lady grabbed quicker then I did!!!!

Dee: Nice to see you post! Check in when you can!!!! Let us know what you decide to get for Larry. Are you having a beach party for him like he had on your birthday??

Well, I have been working on a club social. It will be a Hawiian-fest, with a scavenger hunt. Everyone is to dress in tropical clothing and all of the scavenger items are along that theme. We will also be doing a covered dish dinner. I was planning on several people so we could split up in teams, but when they passed the sign up sheet around this morning, it ended up with only 7 names! Two of which was ours! Steve and I are even going to try to fashion our very own coconut bra's!!! I can't figure people out, they complain if we don't get together for social, but then when we try, it's flop. Sorry to complain to you girls!!!

OUT FROM YOU

You strive, struggle and fight to get things that you think will make you happy. And all the while, happiness is already yours to choose without the things, without the struggle, without the fight.

You place limits and conditions on your happiness, and tie it to things that do not last. And all the while, happiness is already yours to choose without the limits, without the conditions.

When happiness is conditional and dependent, it ceases to be happiness and becomes merely another chore, another thing to struggle for, another thing to lose.

True and lasting happiness is not a result but is a cause.

Let the happiness you seek flow out from you, rather than trying in vain to get it flowing into you.

Let the world around you be an expression of your happiness, instead of depending on it to provide you with happiness.

Do you want to be happy?

Then know that nothing is stopping you other than the limits and conditions you place on that happiness.

Let joy and happiness flow out from you. And the rest of your world will soon follow along.

Have a great OP day my Floozie friends.

Love and hugs
Carol

Hi all. You all seem to be doing very well with your eating plans. Congratulations to everyone who lost this week!!!

It's just 12 days until my parents' party and there is still sooooooo much to do. The flowers and cakes are going to be just beautiful. I will make sure I post pictures of them. My SIL is going to use her digital camera to make pictures throughout the event.
My class reunion is the 26th of September. There is still a great deal of work to do on it as well. My co-chairman is taking care of the mailing and I'm contacting everyone via e-mail(classmates.com). I got 2 really disturbing e-mails over the weekend from a man who feels he has been slighted by our class over the years. I tried to explain to him that we sent everything to the address provided, but he just went into a tirade. I think there are some deeper problems going on here besides a missed reunion. Scarrrrrrry!

And now, these words of wisdom:
May your new pools always be filled will sparkling water and good friends;
May your chickens never "fly the coop"(especially an air conditioned one!);
May the straps on your coconut bras always stay securely fastened;
May all you floozies grab hold of your dreams and enjoy the ride of life;
and yes Cheryl....I'VE GOT HUMIDITY!!!!!!

Sherry and Debbie: see you tomorrow at Alabama Grill at 4:30!!!! Just remember I will have been up at least 12 hours by then!!! I have to be at the airport a little after 5 a.m.

To everyone else!!! We will try to get some pictures, and we wish you could all be with us. And, yes, we will be talking about you...

Shh....don't tell anyone but I am sneaking on Jay's pc.

Sherry and Carol way to go! Great weightloss. You girls are melting down to nothing.

Titan I am so excited for you to meet Sherry and Debbie. I wish we could all meet.

Gayle great cleanning tips. Thanks for the birthday ideas. I think that I will get the golf magazine and I asked Larry about a special club. He would like a wood 3 or 5 iron like our neighbor. I am not sure what else I will get him. I asked Larry if he wanted a big party and he said no we just couldn't top the tropical party we had. He said that he would rather have a quiet dinner and go to San Diago in the fall. So if i disappear for a few days that is where I will be.

Debbie we have an above ground pool with a deep end dished out. It is just over 5 feet deep. I can't touch bottom. I am a short little ****. We have an upper deck and a lower one. We use the upper deck the most.

Sherry what day is it that you said you would take to rest? I will keep on you girl. Even Debbie said that you sounded tired. I thought about getting Larry a gold chain but he has such a hairy chest that we don't think that it would be good. Probably get tangled up in his hair.....lol

Cheryl glad your back and that you had a good time. Yes adults can get pretty childish when we drink.

Ramona that is such a cute poem. Don't be shy to ask for help with your parents party and the reunion. You aren't super women, even though I think that you are great.

Any other birthday ideas girls??? Can you come up with something that would be good for traveling?

Love you all.

Oh yes Shelley I am just saying Hi, and hope that you have a good day. Thanks for the prayers.

hello all!
been super busy here.
doing the homeschool thing.
man the summer is going buy to fast.
lots of stuff happing here,
the floor in my front room is falling thru and the landlords gonna fix it so i have to move all the furniture out so they can lift the carpet.ack!

was so down and depressed bout my weight and constant preds to keep me from pain i just gave up!
but i found a way to climb back on the wagon.
i joined LAweightloss and lost 6 pounds the 1st week on preds:o
im so excited!!!!so i started back with the excercise,
trying to get the waters in is the hardest.
i feel like im eating so much food and im losing so im happy bout that.
gotta journal.
lots of things i must get into the habit of doing.
ive decided the best gift for myself when i lose my 10% weight is to quit smoking.
thats been my excuse dont wanna gain any more.
at least then if i gain it wont be detrimental to me.
so thats my first goal!
234.
