Morning girls Haydee - HUGS Girlfriend .... I am the last one in the world to give advice on relationships, but I do know where you are ... remember? As for the hangnail... soak your finder in warm sea salt water. it works for other infections and new piercings Tracyks - thanks... I did look good Wow, all you guys with your ps appts, i'm going to try to get one 4/17 since i'm already going to be off for court and surgeon appt. My new ins starts on 4/1 and now that my belly is starting to really sag I might actually meet some of the requirements to have paid for by ins. I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen. Funny, I hated everything about me and I'm to the point if I had that skin gone I would be so happy with myelf. HUGE difference. Well I'm off to work in 10 mins, have to get dressed - I went to the Y last night for the first time since... 12/18... yikes that was scary to see.. Going again right after work - water aerobics at 6:30. Wish I could check in during the day, I miss you guys love ya all

Laura - I have kids and I complain about kids in public, some people just let them do what ever they want and that is crazy. Wish i could give you more on that.... Kat - so sweet, I was horribly depressed and signs of it came out last night that turned to me convincing myself how horrible I am. Anyway, long story short, it is all good today and dbf actually wanted to kick someone's ass for me today... wow, i think he might be getting a tad jealous . . Oh, I just opened my mail from the last few days.... Thank you Kat! night all

Morning girls. Kat - i was cracking up about the dream. I'm glad everyone sounds so good. I had my toy party last night and then came home and passed out. I got a couple nights of good sleep which I needed. So - here is a funny with dd. she did a cheer class the other day and has not worked out in months. she is 13 5'8" and weighs 145. she is solid as a rock. Well after being with me for the last year she has officllly become mental too. Mom told her she was needing extra help because she had so much mass... omg she was so tired she started to cry and say "you are telling me i'm fat!" I was cracking up. She is far from it. She is 5"8" for crying out loud - wears a size 6 on a bad day... anyway, i'm going to get ready, going to breakfast with the family and hen going to the parade, the 1 day you can drink on the streets, the biggest outdoor party ever, the entire city of albany! Probably won't be back until late tomorrow. love ya all

I'm so freaking tired. but I am not working until the 23 (at night anyway) Terry - I thought about having it repaired, but what scares me is I did that with my lawn mower and then used it once. Michelle - you go girl! Laura - where did your belly go? please share your secret. I look in the mirror and if i didn't have that sag of C-section would actually like myself. Judy - you are so cute with your boa off to get ready for work, going out to dinner with one of my friends tonight and then going to pass out! Tomorrow I get my hair done Wed - going to Friday's for my birthday dinner Thursday - rest Friday - toy party Sat - Parade day, going to be crapy so may just find a great bar to go to and have a good time Sunday - Rest. I'm tired just thinking about this week. LOL Have a good one!

Good morning girls Kat, I just got glasses too, I can actually see and driving is so much nicer! what a treat. Glad you had a good time and it looks like things will be good for Rick with his job. 2008... it is going to be a great year for all of us... I was just thinking about all the changes we all had besides the weight loss. going to drink cofffee. going to look at long hair kittens this morning and possibly get some groceries. My stupid vaccume is broken and I don't want to buy a new one pisses me off... it is only a few months old.

Morning gals feeling better, but I can't get the gunk out of my chest. I only took 1 musinex yesterday morning and it was not enough. so I took 2 last night and didn't cough all night, but of course woke up sounding like i have smoked for 60 years. I am off to get dd's eyes checked and get groceries. because I have been so sick it has been a long time since going to the store. Remember that neighbor who I had the falling out with after surgery? Well she was going to come to my grams wake and her mom passed away the night before. So... I sent her a card just saying hey, thinking about her and miss her... anyway she called me and said we would get together soon.. so Wed I sent her a text asking if she wanted to get together this week for coffee or a drink.... so long story short. last night ds and I went to her house for dinner. She gave me a big hug, and we never spoke a word about what happened, just caught up. Pam - Yup... that would be a toy party. I'm going to have another too but I'm going to a different one than the ones i usually have so I'm going to see which one i want to have. They are so much fun. Tracyk - hmmmmmmmmm a movie star... maybe i missed my calling. LOL Judy- I have come so far.. it is nice to get a paycheck for almost 3 times the amount I was getting and I am so much stronger than I was just a year ago Kat - I'm glad you are getting better too... Terry - my friend had a sagging lid and it created vision problems so she had a lit lift. it was actually quick and simple... I say go for it. LOL

Morning girls Tracyk- I would have to say after yesterday it is about a 6.5 but for the most part is is a 9 all places have little issues right? Today is one of the Attorney's birthday and they are having a party so it should be interesting. I went and got a lb of cookies from this bakery called "the cookie factory" I feel like a cheap ass so I'm going to get some bagels and cream cheese on my way in. As for work, we are just getting up and running so we do something and then decide we want it different so ... ughhhhhhh... enough already... lets get them going! Within a month we should be so busy I won't have time to breathe. Being sick and bloated from all the meds I have been up and down weight wise... up 10lbs at one point, but i was heavily drugged so just said it is what it is. I'm back down to 203 so almost back to onderland. I have breakfast, the last couple days bring lunch and have dinner at a normal time. Now just need to get back to the Y and all will be great. Kat - I would love an invite for adult co. LOL Pam - holy crap... $51! well, I'm going to get ready for work, I am feeling better, wish i could stop coughing but anything is better than i was. I have to be better for next week Wed - we are going to dinner when mom gets back Fri - going to a toy party and then sleepover at my sisters house Sat - St. Patty's parade - drinking on the streets in downtown albany... yipee! I call it my birthday parade. LOL and I'm going with different friends this year and they bring a cooler full of drink... so I'm going to bring my fav...grape vodka an crystal light to save some calories. then Country band is at bar by my house so we are ending up there (yes I have the night off at the Pizza shop) but do have to work Sunday
