I hate to be so vague but I guess I'm superstitious about these things...
suffice to say... I WANT THIS ONE!!!!
I know I will suprise 99.9 of those who havent seen me in 2 yrs by my appearance, much less, fresh haircut....
Cerise.... I can relate... sometimes I too would rather just eat worms...
hmmmmm..... wonder if that's how the whole problem began for me....
Missed you're posts... its n ot the same when someone can't come by ...
As I'm leaving very early tomorrow, I may not be able to post...
BUT PLEASE SEND "YOU MUST HAVE Q Kaylets!! " Energy to the East Coast!!
Thanks for bearing with me on this roller coaster ride I've been on the past 10 days or so....
Glad to see thy post, Cerise!!!! Sorry thou beist down. Sometimes I get that crisis thing, too, and don't want to see or communicate with people or even post here with the fab s, which really IS a sign of a crisis. But glad thou hast returned to the palace environs ... thought I saw thy fav towel boy around somewhere ...
Wildfire, thou canst not go away the whole week without making arrangements to report into the palace!!!! Well, if thou must, thou must, but thou'll be missed!!! But have fun anyway and hope thy frolic on the Beach be successful!!!
Speaking of alienation, though no one was, I am feeling quite alienated from my weaving class and from the whole topic of weaving altogether. I may not go back to the class. Weaving may not be the craft for me. I've been having unpleasant experiences with it and it's supposed to be a hobby, not another downer in my life.
REUNION PARTY PROPOSED BY AMARANTHA: Hmmm. I'm reminded that we seem to have lost a number of royal women here in the past few months. This post is a plea for an all- reunion ... I'm curious as to how some of our old pals are doing and wondering what palace grounds they wander on these days ... should auld acquaintance be ferget, Lassies, or those days o' auld lang syne. I think not!!!
Hath the 3D earth swallowed up our comrades in ship? Some that come to mind that haven't been amongst us ere these long times are Frogger, Dollar, Seattlejo and the from England whose handle I'm embarrased to say I've forgotten but she was nice (it wasn't THE from England who lives in Buckingham Palace, but it was A who journeyed with us on 3FC)!!!!
Going further back, I'm remembering Hotsplashes and some other s whose names I've forgotten but whose essence lingers.
Some s are still amongst us but posting less and less and that's sad but understandable as our lives and personalities evolve and our interests shift and/or our careers demand extra time (it's so tacky of those careers to demand time).
Anyhow, I do think a reunion party would be nice and am challenging everyone to check into the palace, grab a towel boy, er, grab a towel FROM a towel boy, relax in the ocean-sized magikal palace pool, wander the royal hallways, go to the journal challenge thread and journal something, send good vibes to K and encouragement to thy fellow s (especially Amarantha, who is about to binge again today and needs encouragement, encouragement, encouragement)!!!
Awhile back, I believed the problems I had on 3FC and the time I spent here wouldn't allow me to post here again. I actually have experienced this feeling a number of times, yet I always find my way back to the s!!! I'm hoping a big reunion party at the palace will induce other to do likewise!!!
Party on.

kaylets-congrats on the nsv! that is great! so good being reminded that hard work really does pay off. congrats on the weight loss too. sending positive job thoughts your way.
hi amarantha! your enthusiasm and spirit inspire me and i just wanted to remind you of that, empress.
hi cerise, arabella, zadie K, eydie!
i haven't had a chance to catch up on all the posts but wanted to check in and say hello. i am op and writing down my food intake, along with exercising regularly again, so even though things are going slowly, i am relieved to be back on the right track. thinking of all of you, mentioned and unmentioned, and wishing you a pleasant day. take care.
Yowza!!!! Wsw, thankee for the encouragement and for YOUR enthusiasm and spirit!!!! Was looking at thy stats and thou hast come a long way!!! You are doing a fantastic job!!!!
Kaylets, am glad the message reached thee via Vibometric Volumizer!!!! It's a new technology and not as reliable as Towel Boys and Footmen!!!!!
Yea, I think we should send out engraved invites to our reunion and now that I think of it, we should target a date (or date range) on which we'd like everyone to return to the palace and post a HOWDEEEEEEEE!!!! Mayhap we could have the Royal Research Team do a search for former s and send them an invite that way ... or is that too pushy? Maybe they aren't posting anymore because they stopped liking us?
YIKES ! About 8:30 appetite came back ! x 10 ... seemed like there were hunger pains for all the days I had no appetite!
I finally went to bed out of desperation....
My arm was going into autopilot reaching and stuffing! Luckily, all that was available was veg soup and bread... but still.....
Yes, Empress... a date for the reunion, invites, caterer, lets plan a royal event...
and no, I think folks are just a little distracted or suffering computer issues...
I cannot imagine anyone deciding they don't like us... especially thyself and thy royal personage...

"Never try to teach a pig to sing.... you will only annoy the pig."
My appetite's on autopilot, too, K!!! Tomorrow will be better but today's a dead loss and I've still got hours and hours and hours of work, meetings, etc., and know I'll eat more!!!!
I'd love to hear what our extant s think of a reunion party?
Sorry I've been MIA. My computer seems to be losing its edge, very slow lately. LOVE the idea of a queenly reunion! I do wonder what's happened to some of the sisters.
I've been wanting to eat everything in sight lately! What's up with that? I was sharing yesterday's menu on the food thread and I must admit it's a bit more, ahem, "festive" than usual! I was able to resist the urge to eat a couple of times today by telling myself that I want to feel skinny on my birthday!
Kaylets, we had the cicada invasion last year. Let's see...what do I remember? The sound they made---when they really got going, it was maddening. So loud! And they left their "husks" everywhere. And apparently they're very tasty because I saw our dogs eating lots of them. And I remember we had some British friends visiting and they saw one on the deck and he said, "Oooh, a cock-chafer!" I assume that's their word for a hard-shelled insect or something. Unfortunately I shamed myself by giggling hysterically. Oh well....
So here we are, at Thursday already! We are going to do it! We will get to Friday!
As long as we keep trying we are still making progress!
To everyone ! I must leave very early for an appointment... Have a good day... I want to tell you all how much I rely on you stopping in ... its always great to find you've been by just event say hi.
Here's positive thoughts for all of us! Please send some my way! I know I keep asking for them but I couldn't do it without you!

Life is too important to be taken seriously
We have gotten a mite quiet around the palace, have we not. As for me, I've got too much work to do, and I know Punkin -- and perhaps others -- are suffering with the same problems.
I've decided to dump WW and join an online diet group (Landry.com). It's much better suited to my philosophy, very health-oriented. Also has some sort of formalized WI procedure (not sure how that works -- I'll get my package from them in the mail). They have an ongoing "exercise minutes" contest that runs 3 weeks at a time. I'm going to use it to challenge myself, although I don't really expect to come first -- they only count aerobic exercise and the last winner logged nearly 2 hours a day. But I might come in second...
I lost 8 pounds in my 10 weeks at WW, not bad (although of course I was hoping for 20 or 30 ), but I think I'm going to like this better.
Cerise, darling! Hope you're feeling better. I think that's one of the hazards of being someone who really FEELS things -- sometimes it's just not a great feeling, but you can't have the ups without the downs. Here's to up!
Eydie, y'know, I bet that a bit of flux after reaching goal is the norm. Plus, of course, the desire to celebrate! Maybe you have a treat or two -- you KNOW you're not going to gain back the weight.
wsw, hope you're feeling well! Are you managing to get settled into your new place?
Punkin, how goes the battle? 'Tis almost FRIDAY!!! Kaylets is right -- we will get there!
Anagram, you're probably wise to ignore the borderline of Onederland and just slip over quietly. Looking so forward to those shouts of victory! What kind of car is yours, the lovely one sitting in the garage?
Wildfire, how was your trip? Did you manage to mix some pleasure in with the business?
Amarantha, I was very saddened to hear that weaving wasn't going to do it for you. Nevertheless, I know you will move enthusiastically on to your next pursuit. You mentioned crocheting -- do you ever crochet clothes?
Kaylets, what a wonderful thought of the day! So true! Thank you so much for finding so much wit and wisdom and bringing it to us here. Hope your job stuff is working out as desired.
Okey-dokey, my doves! I'm going to grab another cup of coffee and get some work done. Feeling allergic and hard-of-thinking, but maybe the caffeine will pull me through. Love to all, mentioned or unmentioned. Let's make this a good one!
Positive thoughts sent out on universal continuum for K!!! Yay, K!!! They need you, they really do!!!
Yea, Arabella, I like to knit and crochet sweaters, but it's too hot in Arizona, so haven't done it in awhile. I like to make bags, though. But I don't think crochet's a happening thing for me either these days.
The Landry thing looks interesting. I may take a peek, unless it's a paying site ... and on the other hand, I like it here best anyway.
Very busy with work also but don't wanna see the ol' palace crumble into ruins here.
But I do think we could use some more activity. I'm really into the food journaling thread and may post a 21-day challenge thread as well.
I'm kind of not into the reunion thing ... I'm thinking we won't get many folkettes showing up at the "party" and that'll depress me!
But all friends eventually drift apart, all palaces fall into ruins and all things in the universal continuum are just as they should be ... and K is gonna get her job!!!!
Amarantha, there's a fee for the group I joined, but it's an interactive diet thing. No forum. Their newsletters are really good and informative, though -- and free!
Sorry you're depressed, too. I'm fighting depression/anxiety, the deadly duo. Let's concentrate on feeling better!
Yo!!!
K!!!! YOU MUST HAVE 
Well, if thou must, thou must, but thou'll be missed!!! 
But have fun anyway and hope thy frolic on the Beach be successful!!! 
), but I think I'm going to like this better.
