I don't like it when I post in the morning, am gone all day and then when I check back no one has posted after me. If I post again, I feel like I'm talking to myself. Oh well.

We have Coldstone Creamery here instead of Cows. A new one just opened not more than 2 miles from my house. I remember that picture, Bagzie, I think I may still have it on my old computer.

OK, I guess I really didn't have anything to say, although that's never stopped me from posting.

By the way, Lush, what is that avatar you're using?

I am a proud mama. I chose a small amount of money, doubled it, and donated to one of the agencies working with tsunami victims. I told DS that I had donated for the two of us. He told me that he had gone into the Red Cross office and donated twice as much. Red Cross is next door to my work office.

True. The actual bright side is that he's been trying to make up for it ever since.

2 miles w/ Leslie this morning.

OK, Wabbs, I missed out on the hula hoop bandwagon. Please explain to the blonde.
And I'm not sure what Kiwi's avatar is... an Alien Santa hovering over a mug?

I am famished.... only v8 since arising and it's 2:30 in the afternoon. Crazy Painter. Have bazillions of "oughts" running through my mind. I guess I'll have a ham sandwich first and review my TO DO list. Don't have to return to work/clients until tomorrow. Did you all do resolutions this year? I am feeling a compulsive need to make some, and yet I don't want to make ridiculouslyhuge ones and be disappointed. How fear-based is that. What a wuss.
(And where did THAT word originate, anyway?)
Stay warm... and appropriately dry.

Hi Cows! I'm sorry I didn't stop in sooner-- had a cold, then strep, and still haven't shaken all the nastiness off.

I gained back all the weight I lost at WW, but I've already re-lost 5 pounds of it. WW didn't work for me. You can see the details on my blog. However, I like the points system, so I'm still using it. The most important thing is keeping my groggy burnt out self out of the candy machine during the semester. My worst habit is sucking down Reese's peanut butter cups to stay awake.
School is cool. I finished my second semester last month and start my next semester in a week and a half. Then the madness starts again and I might not get to pop in until April.
Peachie, your DS's site is very cool! Does he write Afghanistani Annie? It's very funny.
Hello to all other cows. I think of you often.

A roach clip, eh?
So who loses weight while fighting the munchies?

After posting last night I got sooooooo sleepy. I actually went to bed (before 9 pm!!!) and slept straight through. I'm dozy again in front of the computer. Maybe it has to do with what I write about, you think? I'll catch up with y'all later.

Cherry... your name is new to me.... Hi.

Painty, meet Cherry. Cherry, this is Painty our new Texas girl. Painty, Cherry has been with us a long time but vanishes into other interests from long bits of time.

Cherry, how sweet of you to read so far back that you know about DS's site. Yes, that's his famous cartoon strip. If you feel like it, email him and tell him you like it. I'll know when he blushes.

I missed the roach clip thing. What a role model! You expect the rest of us to stay drug free?

Kiwi, what planet do you think this bunch of old bats was on during the 70's? What is a roach clip indeed. Why, Sissy traveled with the Merry Pranksters!
I will not address daughters who give their mamas roach clips. I have teenagers myself, I am all in favor of being delusional.
I am best walking buddies with Leslie. I can't imagine spending more than 2 miles with her, isn't it boring? I haven't heard her voice, yet. I keep the TV on while we're walking. I have quit on other walking buddies in the past because they wouldn't shut-up.
Cherry, it is wonderful to see you. As all of you see, I have not sent Christmas cards. I fully intended to send New years cards....now it may be Valentines...we'll see. I have never been less busy at Christmas time as I have this year, and I accomplished less.
I'm trying to get my warsh done. bye

She's boring, but less so than her cousin Treadmill.

Wabby, I agree with you about meetings... I want to make this a lifelong thing and I just can't make it to meetings every week for the rest of my life!

I'm studying Library Science. I want to get my MLS and be either a youth services/ children's librarian or a school librarian.

Lushie, it was a miracle that I got my Christmas cards out at all! I mailed them on Christmas Eve!!
