Thanks Everyone He is a workahalic and loves to build. He built my entire home from the foundation on up...no contractors. He even built my furniture, kitchen table, entertainment center, end tables, you name it. He's working on an enclosed deck now but thats gonna go slow b/c of the cold weather. Pat the trim on the wall unit thingy is rope trim painted. The walls are sponge painted and yes, he did that too. One day I'll have to post picts of my home. He's a rare talent thats for sure He refuses to hire anyone for anything lol. Betty ohhhhhhh Cookies. What kind are you baking today? Patty, the train is for DD LOL, she loves them too.

The walls are hand painted with a sponge... one wall is purple the other is pink. The trim on top is blue. We are still not done with the walls, I have cinderella pictures I need to hand plus behind her head board we want to hang some sort of fabric.

Good Morning I get to play on the pc for a few minutes before DD gets up and I have to get her ready for school. I don't know if you remember me telling you about the bedroom set my DH was making my daughter.... but he finally finished it so I wanted to show you this fairy tale room. There are rope lights (pink purple and yellow) behind the rainbow and under it. Its sooo cool. Anyway here it is. My DH also built my home from the ground up... so you can imagine.

Backward"s
Hi John, I understand your frustrations but usually the last few pounds are the hardest. Don't be so hard on yourself and don't set unrealistic goals so be good to yourself and know that it will come off. Does it really matter if it comes off in 2 or 3 months? Be happy with your success so far and nothing will hold you back.

Family exercise!
Thats the method behind my madness. When I drop a few tons, Im going to buy a bike and go riding with dd and dh. Can't wait to be active with them instead of sitting on the sidelines watching

wait for approval?
Lisa, keep calling them. Make sure they got all your paperwork. Don't let a week go by with out calling. Write down every time you call and who you spoke to. Good luck sweetie
