Hi all and welcome 'Shortie',
I am still trying to remember who is who. :)
I'm feeling some better today. Thank you for your kind thoughts. At least when you aren't feeling great, you tend to forget about overeating.

It is looking like it might rain this afternoon. We NEED rain. Daughter's dog is here. She will tell me if a storm is trying to 'sneak' up. Dusty is terrified of storms. She will get as close to me as she can (or try to hide under the computer desk). If it is bad enough, she will actually quiver. We aren't sure why she is so afraid. I don't think she was ever out in a bad storm. I guess dogs are like people - some are more afraid than others.

hugs,
Judy

Hi All!

Welcome Karla!

Just a quickie for me for now. Not a good day but thought I would check in and at least say Hi.

Hope all is well with everyone in your little corner of the world. Take care and have a good day.

I'll try and get on tomorrow and post if I am feeling a little better, just a little down today with Josh leaving this morning. :cry: :cry:

Cristi--I'm sending a HUGE hug your way!!! :grouphug: Also give Josh a big hug from his "aunties"!!

Judy--Dogs are like people, or people are like dogs! :D There is this tiny woman at work that I always compare to a chihuahua! She's about 4'5" and she's constantly buzzing around then after a little while, she's very mellow. Just like my dogs! :lol: (she's very sweet)

Another day! Need to wash my car.

Did everyone know that there will be the meteor showers going on tomorrow night or the next? Keep your eyes open in the wee hours of the night and you'll see all kinds of falling stars! I've seen quite a bit already last night on my way home.

Ok...need to get off of here.

Yikes!!!
 

I just lost my whole post! So here's a condensed version:

Marti - how's the no smoking going? And yes I am spoiled. But we already knew that, right? :D Hope you and James had fun today.

Cristi - :grouphug: You have my number if you need me, ok? How long is basic training and where is it? I bet he'll get more cards from his mom than any other recruit in history. Katie asked me today how much an efficency apartment is. Considering she doesn't have a job other than babysitting, I don't think she's leaving quite yet. Once she does eventually move, Neal and I are going to run around naked all the time. Just threw that in there to see if anyone catches it.

Karla - why not change your ticker to include all the pounds you've lost from your highest (non-preggers) weight? That's what Marti and I did. I had lost 10 pounds and kept it off not long before I joined WW, so I count those pounds, too.

Judy - you'll get to know everybody sooner or later. :)

Here's what happened to me today - while walking Gaby (Kathy's dog) she saw another dog, pulled me sideways, and now MY knee is hurt! Had to come home and alternate ice and the heating pad. Hated to do it, but told Kathy I wasn't going to walk Gaby anymore since this isn't the first time she's pulled me like that. (Gaby is part golden retriever, part lab, just for the record) Kathy says she understands, but I feel like I'm letting her down, because her dog is her baby, you know? Since another friend walks Gaby 3 days a week, do you think it's bad that I quit? What's a Jaded Lady to do??

Hope you all have a good evening. See you later,

Karla~ Welcome to the group!

Just popping in to see how everyone is doing. Gotta run.....Brandon needs his bath. (Man, I can't wait until we get our own place so that I can get on daily and check in!!!!)

Hi all you wonderful Jaded Ladies!!!

Marti: I read Janes story of her weight loss and p.m.'d her! She invited me to come and join in with all of you and since you all are so positive and inspirational I say "Hoorah!!"

Jane: I caught it...and just make sure the blinds are closed first...lolololol
I don't think it is all bad for not wanting to walk a dog that pulls so hard it hurts you...not good at all!!! My daughter has 2 dogs and I have Sammie and I tried walking all three of them twice...no more...2 I can handle..but it this case three really is a crowd!!!

Cristi: My daughter is really pregnant...due anytime between 2 and 4 weeks!
She and her two dogs and her hubby are moving in with me because he is in the army national guard reserves and will be leaving in Oct for 5 months for basic and his training after that. With a new baby we thought it would be best for her to be with me!! (I must admit I am so stoked about having my grandson with me for a few months :D ). I'm sorry that I missed it, but what branch of the service is your son in? Will he get a break after boot camp to come and see you?? I sure hope so!!!

tommysgirl: Brandon is so adorable!! I bet you are so proud of him!!!

Hi jetall: My daughter has a jack russell terrier who thinks he is invincible..and a small chihuahua who KNOWS he is invincible...both males.. until there is fireworks or thunder...lol then they are little babies needing to be held...lol Too funny!!!

Have a wonderful evening Jaded Ladies...I will be back later to see how everyone is!!!
Jane, thanks again for directing me to such an awesome support group and everyone thank you so much for the warm welcomes!!!
Karla/shortiemetoo

Another night I couldn't sleep, so I wandered down here to the basement, since my son didn't come home to pop in and say Hello before he does, so Hello.Welcome to the new Ladies, I will have to catch up on their bio's as well as everyones news. Cristi BIGGEST HUGShttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...th_Rose_sb.jpg I hope your feeling better soon, I can only imagine how you must be feeling, My son is moving in a couple of weeks, and I will be all alone.I'm kinda wondering what the point of my existance is , yep I am in the dumps emotionally. Well I have my kitties to keep me company I guess.And I suppose like Jane and Neal I could run around naked :lol: Jane you little :devil: but I suppose its more fun if you have someone to run around naked with. You always make me laugh. Marti good luck with your challenge, I know its tough, :crazy: but its worth it. Katie I am so sorry for your loss
BIG HUGS I am so sorry but I will have to try and come back later, I haven't been to sleep yet and I can hardly focus any more, I hope everyone is doing well , and has a wonderful day.:wave:
