WISHING A VERY SPECIAL PERSON A VERY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!
I LOVE YOU RAMONA AND WISH ONLY THE BEST FOR YOU!!!!

I know your counting your blessings today even though your family is going through a rough period. Dan will have a slow recovery but you still have him to hug, hold and tell him how much you love him. Hoping this was the best birthday present ever for you!!!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Hi everyone.

I can't get excited because a lot has happened here at the board since I've been gone. Actually, I've been lurking, so I know about Ramona's situation with Dan. I hope everything is OK there. To pile on top of that, we had severe weather in Arkansas over the week-end and guess where most of it hit--you guessed it--central state (the city where Ramona lives was without power for quite a while). I really feel for her..... We were lucky to only get high winds and rain. There were 8 known tornadoes in the state.

Maybe I should move to Kansas with Gayle, huh...

While I was lurking on another thread I found something interesting that I think I'm going to cut and paste here. Let me go get it.....

Cheryl, come by and get me then we'll head to Florida with Shelley! The weather stinks here right now! High winds & snow yesterday made for a few icy patches today getting allison to school. The sun is out now, so I'm hoping the ice is off the roads since it's time for me to head to work. Did I ever tell you guys I hate winter???? LOL!

Ok, took me awhile to find it, but here it is (and some of you WW chickies may have already read this):

Hi, I have been a WW member for 36 years on and off and am currently back at it. I have three things that are working for me right now and wanted to share them.

A major new insight(to me)was given by my WW leader after the first meeting. She said that when your body has had enough to eat you will sigh deeply. I though yeah right that's a good one but when I ate my next meal I paid attention and sure enough about halfway through I gave a deep sigh and realized I was no longer hungry. So I stopped eating which was soooo hard as I have always hated leaving any points behind on my plate. For the next few days I watched my kids as they ate and to my surprise saw that they would sigh deeply as well when eating but the difference between myself and them was that they pushed their plates away and said they were done.


I read this on Friday and tried it out over the week-end to see if it was true and IT IS!!!!

Gayle,

I could use a trip to Florida right now. But don't forget that they have hurricanes!

We really need to go to go to Floridia, pick up Shelley and head to NASHVILLE to visit Sherry and Debbie!!

Hurricane season is officially over as of today, so I say we load up the car and head to Shelley's for the winter! Our weather is just awful today...high winds and flooding rains. It is in the 60's, but that's not supposed to last...20's and snow by the end of the week.


Happy Birthday Ramona! :hb:
I'm hoping all of your birthday wishes come true!

That's interesting about sighing when you have had enough to eat! I'll have to pay attention to that tonight at dinner!

We had rain, ice & snow yesterday Suzy with wind gust 50-60 miles per hour. I JUST LOVE WINTER.... today it is in the high 40's and to get nicer by the end of the week. I'm already praying for an early spring. I bet our bad weather blew on through and is heading your way! LOL!

You think Shelley will let us all sleep on her floor????

Cheryl, I'm going to pay attention tonight at dinner and watch myself & the rest of the family...

Come on down!! Each and everyone of my fabulous Floozie friends!!

Cheryl-Very interesting theory. I'll have to try and notice what everyone does. We don't eat together much anymore, though. Both girls are usually working, and Mike and I just pick, rather than eat meals. I probably sigh and keep eating whether it's a meal or not. I already know I overload my stomach to the max!

Today is my 1-year wedding anniversary. Stewart got me a pair of Australian Crystal earrings. They're clear cubes that change color depending on what I'm wearing/how the light catches them, etc. They're very pretty and were totally unexpected.

He did very good.

Happy anniversary Cheryl! Sounds like your hubby did a good job with the gift...can't go wrong with jewelry in my book! I wish you many more happy years together!

I checked the scales this morning and I'm down another pound and I also got my hair cut and highlighted today, so I'm feeling a bit like a new woman! I hope everyone else is having a good day too!

Just got home from my sister Gail's. I was there for three nights while Larry was in Boston. I am off to the gym so this will be short.

I read about the sigh thing awhile back and it works. It is very true. It is amazing how we stop paying attention to our bodies needs.

Ramona Happy Birthday. You are in our prayers. I agree with what Gayle said. You are fortunate that you can hold Ben in your arms. He will recover.

Sorry I have to go so soon but off I go.
