howdy ya'all!!!! I am back at work and ready to jibber jabber. If I can think of something to say. It is so hard to keep up with you funny gals when i have to miss two days.
Jana: yah!! for the added pound lost. They add up and I think you are doing so great. I am so sad that I missed chatting with you. I found out that i can get on the chat room at home with no problems, it must be blocked at work. I got on earlier today and chatted with a nice preson. so I am sad that i can't get online to chat at the predetermined times, I have to missed out. pooh, I miss all the good stuff because of my work hours. NO FAIR!!!!

I have been freezing popcorn for a long time when I use the air popper. Which isn't often, but my mother always did it, so I did it. Don't know why, but she said it stayed better that way and popped better. I don't always do like she says, but I thought why not. I guess it seems to be normal. hee hee I hope that i can now me good with losing weight and be able to feel as good as everyone else here. I just get so frustrated with myself and disgusted and wonder what is wrong with me that I can't do it right. I whine and complain, but still haven't found that secret to get it taking care of. POsitive thinking, I hope will maybe work one of these days.
Angie: Hernias?? Yikes. My dad had to have surgery for that, I remember he was not loving life for quite some time. Everytime I have a problem I panic, because I don't want that to happen to me. I am glad everything seems to be ok. That kind of stuff can be rough. Smiles your way.
T.J. : I too get depressed a lot. Just ask Marti, I must drive her mad. I also do not like getting on a bringing everyone down and get told to come on here anyway. Not posting, but justing reading everyone elses brings me out of my funk and make me WANT to get on and share. I have a rough time bothering people with my problems, I am a bury my feelings and problems kind of gal. I hate to open up, I hate to bother people. However I have found that these ladies are very understanding, and just reading what they say can cheer you up and make you feel like you belong. I just understand what you are going though, it seems like I get depressed every week. You are not alone here though and I am glad you can back to post.
Cristi: thank you so much for the card, you can never understand fully just how nice it makes me feel to get those. It makes my day to know someone has been thinking of me. I just wish I had mroe money to do that myself. I am cramped my my lack of funds, since I get so much enjoyment out of making things for people ( even though I think they are cheesy) and sending cards or giving cards. Just want you to know they always bring a smile to my face. I mean, who DOESN'T like o get mail, whether it be over the computer or through the post office. What a sweetie you are.
Susan: You are the goddess of weight loss lady. You and Jana need to go around the country and do seminars.

Say, marti like my idea of getting the oregonian Jaded Ladies together for a meeting and greet type of thing. It would be nice to see some of the ladies I pour my life out to. I am jealous that you have a dog. I want one so bad I can taste it. And no , I don't eat dog, it is just an expression ladies!!!!

I am such an animal person, if I had the money and land and owned my own home, I would probably have a menagerie. Of course that is just a dream cause if all those dreams were to come true, my sweetie would not allow it. Big meanie!!! so for now I love my babies ( my life) and feed my friendly squirrels who sit on my lap and feed out of my hand the peanuts I buy for them. I just love squirrels and chipmunks. That was the light of my life when I was a kid and went of vacations. I loved stopping at rest stops or camp grounds and feeding the wildlife. I am a wierdo, I admit. I even rescued a Crow about two months ago that i think was poisoned or hit in the head. The poor thing couldn't stop moving it's head, couldn't fly and his crow buddies were trying to help him ( so sweet) I didn't want him to be an easy target for cats or another predator, so I threw a towel over him, put him in a box and rushed him to the local animal rehabilitation center. I gave them a donation and left with the greatest feeling, they gave him a anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling right away. I oftern wonder if my little blacky made it or had to be put down. What ever happens I know I did a good thing. Ok, I am sure I am boring everyone with my animal adventures. I am just a HUGE animal activist ( much to marti's irritation I am sure) and am a member of PETA. God's creatures are just wonderful to me. anywho..............
Marti: hey missy, share you weight loss secrets!!!! You looked great the last time I saw you . I am soooooo jealous.

WE need to have a craft day, maybe sip some wine, do some crafts, I can talk my head off as usual. hee hee. That sounds like fun to me.
WEll, I gues i better shut the heck up for now, before you all cut me off.
To everyone I missed individually, hope you week goes well and the weekend was somewhat relaxing ( I saw my mommy for her birthday) and I shall chat tomorrow.
