Good morning!! Had to fix the cords of my computer this am. Somehow yesterday a cord came unplugged and I couldn't get on the internet. I don't understand all that. The plug that was out was for the phone, I have uverse, so it doesn't run through my phone line? I thought....... I hope you all have fun this weekend. I hope your support group is great Judy!!!!! Michelle, enjoy your new mattress, I think sticker shock would be in order for me, I have heard how much they have gone up!! Hope your free weekend stays free Pamela!! Great news about the foster child!!!!!!! Haydee I hope you are having fun!!!

No tv? I think I have heard of that.... I could never go without tv. Well Charlie finally knows. One of his customers heard Sue whispering that she was leaving and said something. You know it is weird though, because Sue and Charlie still didn't talk about it!! It is sooo oddddd!!! One more day and then I will be off!! I am wanting some cheese garlic bread. I am not a person that usually craves things, but I really want some! I am 110% sure that I am not with child too!!

Good morning. I just checked my lottery ticket from last week and I didn't win. Imagine a whole dollar investment didn't return!!!! If I would have won I would have done the violet tour! I would have started with Judy!!! I would wear my wwjd bracelet, and follow Judys rules. Then I would go see Pamela and Haydee for motivation!!! Then I would go see Laura and Carson, and I would give Laura a break for a few days, and watch Carson for you. Then I would head over to Washington to see Michelle, and hopefully you could be my tour guide through the Smithsonian!! I would get more friendship and love from the violet trip that by the time I got home I would be skinny!!!!!!! Oh well back to reality, got to go to work!!!! Pamela you are right Charlie will be doubly mad!!!!!! But, Sue promised me she would tell him today, I hope she does!

Good evening. Sue still hasn't told Charlie, but she promises me she will tomorrow. She has told all her customers etc..... Charlie will have a cow. I am up over 300 pounds again!!! OHNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laura where are you????????????

Wow, Heather, she does sound like a nut job. I am so glad you are moving!!!

Pam, it amazes me that you have that much drive!!! I need some, can you send some over? Glad you are feeling better Judy! Michelle, when I read what you said it reminded me of when I was still in school. My dad would come in every morning and say 'rise and shine, time to get out of bed!', he would say that a few times and then my mom would yell up and tell us to get out of bed. Funny the things that bring back those memories!!! Love the picture of MO and your daughter riding and loving her horse!! Laura, where are you???????? Haydee I hope you are not sick!!!!

Well I am home from work. Yesterday Sue called me and said she accepted a new job and was going to give Charlie her two weeks today. As of when I left she has not, which means that hopefully I will miss the drama that goes with it all. I didn't want to say anything til she told him. Looks like we might be in for an interesting day tomorrow. I am having soup for dinner tonight, so I am going to eat it now!!!

Judy, I feel for you and your church. We had a new minister a few years ago, and I don't like him. I think that is the common theme. A lot of people have left. We have 3 but one main and two associates. I am very close with one of the associates so I wouldn't leave because of that, but when you think about it, it is a church, not a place where people are unhappy, or a lot of politicing (sp) going on. Well today is the day, I got a call yesterday about what is going to happen today at work. All I can say is WOW!!! Haydee how many car washes are there? That hummer is really neat!! Actually who needs a limo, after your married before the reception you can be whisked off in the bubbleator!!!!!!! Oh well off for a fun? day!!!

Good for you Laura!! Michelle great idea!!!!!!!!!!! Judy feel better!!!!! Haydee, love the bubbleator? I went back to the picture and still can't believe it is a hummer!! Forgot to say Good Morning!!!!! Heather you are right, maybe that is what I need a change!! But, I HATE change!! But I know that it can be a very very good thing!!!!!??!!! Hi Pamela!!!!!!!!!!

I hope not hearing from Laura and Judy does not mean they are sicker!!!!!!! I also hope Juan doesn't get bad!! Have a good night!! Here is to positive vibes for Charlie to take care of problem!!!

Just a quick note to say HI!!! Nothing new going on. Maybe the reason why we can let weight define us so much is because we are always so overwhelmed by it!! We always have it on our minds. I would hate to think that someone would say when I am dead, boy was she fat. I want my life defined by how nice I am! I really wish it wasn't on my mind all the time. Maybe I need to make some time for other things!!

Haydee, that is a neat picture though!! As far as what Charlie says, he won't deal with the situation. I don't know why, Charlie talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk if you know what I mean. He says one thing but really he didn't do it. He lies alot. I have worked at the shop for 23+ years. I don't want to leave. It is the only shop I have ever worked. When you switch shops not everyone follows you. You will lose some in the move. You eventually gain new clients, but I can't wait. I need all that I am making plus some. I wish I wasn't so heavy too, that keeps me from probably doing what I should be doing (whatever that is), I am just hoping that this whole thing doesn't get that far.

I am back!! A lot is going on at work right now. I hope no one does anything stupid or rash!! I am afraid the two other girls we have might leave, and then that would be just Charlie and I like it used to be, but the problem is he is use to the rent he gets from the other two. That would be a HUGE difference for him. Just hope everyone that things work out well. I am just worried about my job security. If they leave, I don't think Charlie can afford to keep the shop open..... Not a good time for me to switch shops!! Oh well enough complaining. I had linguine with asparagus for lunch. YUM YUM!! Oh and when I came home today there was a bunch of flowers at my door!! I was pretty sure they came from my parents, but that was still sweet!!!!!!! They are altromerias (I am sure I spelled it wrong, but they are peruvian lilies but nobody here uses that name) Anyways it is nice when you get a surprise like that!! Okay off to do some cleaning, I am tackling my kitchen, not bad, just cleaning out my refrigerator and pantry. Boy for not having much to say I sure wrote a lot!!

Judy, hope you feel better!! Take it easy and don't do anything strenous!!!! Good morning off to get my flu shot!!

Judy my favorite is when Grady is looking through that circular opening in the block thingy!!!! TOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

Thought of a movie last night. What About Bob? When Bill Murray runs into the cafe and dumps his fish into a pitcher!! Loved that!!! In Big when Tom Hanks pulls his key to his apartment out of his tuxedo tied around his neck with a string? What about in Forrest Gump when Bubba Gump asks Forrest 'Ever been on a shrimp boat?' and Forrest says, 'No but I have been on a big boat'!! The crazy things one remembers from movies!! Good afternoon by the way!!

Good evening!

Have fun Pamela, how far is Disney from where you live? Have a blast!!!! Purple power to Haydee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Off to work! Have a good one and Judy have fun!!!!!

Shawshank Redemption!! Love that!!!

You said it right didn't Pamela? I am reading Billie Letts Made in the USA. Very good. I read another book by her Shoot the Moon (I think) really liked that too. Anyone read any others of hers?

You guys all have great movies. Not one for blood and guts so for me those are out, but I love a sad sappy love story!! My favorite sad movie is My Life with Michael Keaton. Brad Pitt, in a River Runs Through It!!!!!!! YYYUUUUMMMMM!!!!!! I am not too much of a repeat movie watcher. Well I have spent all my savings on getting caught up. I hope October really kicks. So far not a happy start!! I have no emergency fund, no window fund, no secret stash fund. Although I did find 50 I got for my trip in June that I forgot to spend, so I am saving it for my next trip. So I guess my trip fund has 50! Okay enough whining!! Got your postcard today Michelle, love it, Cindy was not very nice, always had that sugary sweet disposition, but it hides her real self!!

Love the pics Michelle!!! I am glad you are feeling better Kat! I hope it lasted til today, and then totally gone for the weekend!!! I hope you all have a great weekend coming up! I am running late!!! Jane

Heather she sounds crazy! When I rented my landlords wife was crazy!! I was inside my house one day and heard her having a real fit about something outside. I went outside and she asked me how many more wires I was planning on putting into the house????? Now, if you know me, that is a laugh!! It was just electric and phone lines going in. Crazy, I am glad to be rid of her. I would run!! But, it is easier said than really done not know ing your whole situation. Kat is it the flu? Feel better!! I did four people today. As far as being angry I can't be mad at Charlie over this. No one is really busy. I am self employed, so I just pay him my rent and that is all. I wonder if the things he does chases some of the clients away. Webster Groves is a pretty conservative town. As an example, when our church got our new minister a few years ago, a lot of people were 'shocked' that he had facial hair!! We presbyterians don't put up with a BEARD!! Oh well I hope all is having a good one!!!

Good evening! Three people have shorter hair today from me. That is it!! I guess it is better than 2. I am trying to keep a positive attitude!!

Hi Michelle!! I think that is a great idea Laura. Did the people at the gas station know you fell? I am off to watch biggest loser!!
