Hi everyone!

WOW, I was here to post earlier and once it was all written it came up that the website couldn't be found. Not sure what all that was about, but I'm sure glad that I hit the 'copy' function before I hit 'post reply', that way I could save it until I just now got home and didn't lose it all. Yeah for me!!!!

Anyway, here's what I wrote earlier:
Sorry to have been AWOL for a bit. I'm not sure that I've been too busy, just not in the mood, I guess. I know that sounds horrid, but haven't you just ever gotten a phone message from a friend and you put off calling them back??? Well, that's sorta how I've felt. I've been here reading, just not posting.

Sorry.
I'm keeping up with Curves. Went Monday and yesterday, will go again tomorrow. I'm going to stick with just 3 times a week (that's what the program calls for) until it gets too easy. Then maybe I'll up the intensity or go around an additional time. We'll see. I'm too new at it to figure out what comes next. The hardest part is setting aside the time. I'm out all morning working and then run home, change clothes, and run back out before dinner. I've pretty much tried to put it into my schedule at 3:00 Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So far it's working.
I know this is going to sound really awful, but yesterday at Curves was cool. There was actually a woman there that was MY size and two that were 1/2 way to MY size. I didn't feel so lonely, you know, like I was the only one!
Ok, let me try to catch up a bit.
Lola: Welcome to our little corner of the world! I hope you post often so we can get to know each other. I see your from Toronto. I just love that city! Honey and I were there a couple of years ago. It is so clean. We were even downtown walking at night, something you surely wouldn't do here in Detroit!!!
2cute: WOW, busy woman!!! I'm glad things are finally coming together for you. I totally understand DH not packing, well, I don't understand, but I sympathize with you. When we came home from NC, I had to pack all by myself because DH was already up here working. That was alot of fun, besides watching out for the boys. They were 5 & 7 at the time.
Tina: WOW lots of car troubles. 56 quarts of oil???? I sure don't want to see the damage that was done to the engine. YIKES!! I'm glad the rest of your vacation was good. I loved all the pics. The one of you and Ron is sooooo cute. You look sooooo skinny and veeerrrrryyyyy HAPPY!!!! * Take care of that Bladder/Kidney infection. Nothing to fool with. Hope you're feeling better real soon.
Lori: Good job running! OMG. I haven't run in years. When I run, the boobs flap over the shoulders and the belly doesn't stop for 10 minutes after I do!

I know, TMI!!! Sorry. * Congrats on the 3 pound loss. Good for you!!!
Homebound: Sorry you weren't feeling up to going to your meeting. Glad to hear about DH's new job. Sorry you'll be without a car. That's the pitts!!!
Barb: Thanks for doing up the stats on Mary's cake. I think you could probably save a bunch (like 2) if you just use Fat Free Cool Whip for the frosting, instead of with the pudding and jello. Wouldn't be quite as tasty, but good nonetheless.
Pam: Sorry you have to share the computer.

That would never do at our house. There are always 3 of us online at the same time.
Justme: I'm with you, I thought the whole purpose of the journal was to write what you thought and felt. Apparently some people feel as if they have to bud in there too. I can see these threads generating opinions, but I thought a journal was just your own random thoughts and ramblings. Guess I would be wrong too.

Enjoy the visit with your company.
JoeAnne: Congrats on your 3.25 pounds down! You're doing such a great job with your walking. I wish my knees and back would allow me to walk more. I'm hoping that I will get stronger as I keep working out at Curves.
Connie and Mary: Nice to see you in chat last night. Sorry I had to skip out so quick.
Lucky and Sandy: You're not giving me much to work with here, but I am glad to see you both!!!
Terri: I'm so glad you were able to recoup your bag. That would have turned a wonderful day at the lake into a nightmare real quick!!!
Andria: It's so good to have you back on a roll. You must be managing the food issue pretty well now. Congrats on the 3.5, but even more on the 6 for the month so far. WOW. And you've still got another week in this month. You may hit 10 before it's over!!! Wouldn't that be cool??? I'm having a food issue. I think my brain is saying that my moving the bod is going to make me lose, now I don't have to watch the food as well. Deep in my heart I know that's not true, but my brain isn't cooperating right now.

Gotta get it all together.
Amanda: Glad hubby is still working and better yet that payday is just around the corner. I bet you can't wait!!!!
Ok, girls. I caught every one one this thread and the last (I think, I hope

) and I'm finally caught up. I'll try to do better from now on because it's a b!^(H trying to catch up all at once!
I've got a "bank job" and a grocery to do. Then off to Walmart to get some more mulch and see if they have my water. I went to one yesterday and they did not have ONE bottle, not ONE bottle of my flavored water. I'm ALL out, and they don't have ONE bottle!!!!! I was NOT happy!!!
can you tell???
See ya later. Love

you all!!!
