I am home again now. I live in the mountains. It's really lovely at the moment, weather in mid 80's. Went to see a plastic surgeon today, thinking about a forehead lift. Trying to get back the years I wasted being fat. Hmmmm, very expensive, maybe I will grow old gracefully, but slim!

I am just waiting for the day that I'm small enough to think about getting something lifted!!

I know I went to bed last night then woke up this morning and you were still there! I knew it had to have been late ( early )

Feeling good but just can't sleep!! I'm sure I am going to have a lot more that needs lifting but thought I would start at the top and work my way down.

Hehehe! I like that approach!! Although with me they may have to start at the bottom, and start picking things up!!

i am glad I found this thread. Haven't been coming here as much as it was getting rather negative. But I am off work for a month following surgery on my arm, so decided to check back in (plus starting to go a little stir crazy). Hurray for uplifting and positive thoughts about our new lives!!

I love going for walks on the beach! There is nothing more healing to me than the ocean

Have fun!

Which beaches do you like? I'm in Florida, Siesta Key has the best sand, Cocoa Beach is the funnest so far.

I love getting up early and watching the sun rise. Also, at Cocoa beach late at night you can take the kids to the beach with flashlights and chase the crabs. I know, not very wild fun.

If I sit and listen to the waves come in long enough my brain goes numb. I'm so relaxed it's like I'm hypnotized.

Chasing 2 kids isn't exercise??

This reminds me of what my sister-in-law said to me once... With chasing kids all day you'll be able to lose weight. Gotta love in-laws :-)

The beach is my favorite place to be!! I'm in northem California We go to all sorts of different beaches it depends on what we are doing for the day!

During the weekdays when the kids are in school

my friend and I load up our cruisers and head to west cliff in I Santa Cruz and ride. We take the kids to our "secret" beach we call " keep out"

We also go tide pooling a lot. I used to be a docent at natural bridges state beach and talked to school children about the tidal pools.

Sometimes my husband and I will ditch the kids and take a ride to Big Sur the beaches there are rocky and wild! We like to hike out to a couple, and nap in the sun.

This picture is from two or three weeks ago when we went to Monterey for the day when the kids and I collected some sea glass

And this one is from this week in Santa Cruz

And this one is my son playing hooky from school that same day so we could cheer up and eat sushi

Sorry for the long response! But you asked

Oh and yes the waves I could never move away I always say I need the ocean for "medicinal reasons"

Oh, man, California! I was there in the Navy in San Diego. What a gorgeous place! I loved La Jolla. The waves are better in Cal. I think. Florida has some awesome theme parks but so does Cal. We don't have state tax, though.

We just recently moved to Marblehead, MA, a beautiful little coastal town. It has been freezing here lately - so no walking on the beach but I SOOOOOO look forward to March when I can do that. I love the sights, the sounds and the smell of the air. Right now I'm mostly doing treadmill. When the temps are above freezing, my hubby & I will walk around town. I <3 the beach

I live on a small shoreline town in Ct on the Long Island Sound. It is peaceful and calm, but my favorite beaches are Naussett Beach and scusset Beach in Orleans Mass, better know as Cape Cod. I also love Rhode Island beaches in Misquamicut, Watch Hill and East beach...and let's not forget Luquillo Beach, Luquillo Puerto Rico

Done Did It!

Hahaha!! Yes we have taxes on our taxes!

Definitely the living out here is expensive.

It have two younger cousins in the navy that are in San Diego! One is a girl!

Beach people unite!!

I think we should all go to Aussielady's beach house in Australia !!
