Woofay 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Okay, I had my son take another picture of me, since I'm "blond" now and look so different. I'm changing faster than the scale! So, I'm posting my before surgery face shot and my now face shot...like Lap Dancer. There is a difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcyinak 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Anita - WOW! You look so beautiful! Gotta get yourself a new blouse too! That thing looks like it's hangin' on you! Mal - I'll pitty party with you...while I eat a cookie in your honor! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woofay 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Hey guys~Thanks! Marcy, how did you know that shirt is too big just from the top?:eek: And yes, its a bit big. Gonna wait a little longer before I buy clothes. All my new winter stuff I bought from Lane Bryant last year looks terrible. I bought some of the neatest sweaters and jackets since we owned nothing warm. (We don't wear sweaters in Phoenix.) I got 19 different sweaters and tops...oh well. I can wear the sizes at wallmart now! Woo hoo. (sad, aren't I? hee hee!) :bounce: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mal 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Thanks Marcy for joining my pitty party!!! Anita is such an inspiration, I need to get back on track...Monday, once I get my fill and I am back from the mountians...will do...will do!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcyinak 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Anita - have you considered taking some of your "favorite" clothes to a tailor? I know Andrew gets his shirts taken in and it costs about $4 per shirt...might be worth it since you'll be even smaller next year? Since I don't really "go to work" I mostly have t-shirts and jeans so a tailor won't work for me...maybe someday I'll actually wear blouses on a regular basis! Haha! Yeah, right! Mal - I've only had one experience with a yurt...well, sort of. At college (Idaho State) they had an Outdoor Program (note: this is when I was skinny and athletic). We (some friends) rented a yurt and planned to x-ski to it...it was the "easy" one, supposed to be less than a 1/2 mile off the road...well, we set out at about 10am. We were all wearing about 75lbs. of beer on our backs (ok, there were SOME essentials, but this was college) and we couldn't find the damn thing! We skied for over 8 hours and decided to head back when the snow was icing over and it was getting dark out...thank heaven we had a friend who had snowshoes on! He pushed us all up the hills because it was too icy to get up on skis! This is a horrible/hillarious memory of mine....needless to say, when we were all done...those were the best beers in the world! Now I'm a Mormon and don't drink, but those WERE the good times! Haha!

Lap_dancer 8 Posted September 22, 2007 WOW!! Anita you look awesome!!!! I adjusted my photobucket to decrease the amount of photos I had and I must have taken out my this is now photo....have to fix it later. Friends I have some not so grand news. I have to delay my trip to Denver. It's all about money. I have a state conference the week after my previously scheduled fill which is in Sarasota and $$$$$ the hotel $$$ and registration are $$$ more than anticipated. Add to that unexpected occurances and it adds up to a minus. ... I'll let you all know what date I get. I'm calling Marilyn on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DynamoMini 1 Posted September 22, 2007 Hi all - Anita you are MARVELOUS inside and out. I loved seeing the changes side by side. It is so fun. I love the blonde, been there for many years. Marcy - what a hoot about your yurt experience. It is amazing what crazy experiences impress on our memories. Hugs to you. Will you be back in Denver anytime this year? Mal - cut it out with the Cookies - you deserve a healthy life! You have a wonderful family who loves you, just love yourself, too. I think you are great. You know a cookie just doesn't really do it, however, after my awful date last month I ate 4 and "needed them" so I get it. Hugs hope it is smooth sailing now. Lap - Are you saying you won't be here in Oct? Let us know. We are the ladies of "magic" with the magical thinking to go with the "divaness," When I went to therapy six years ago, my first words to the therapist were, "I just don't have any more rabbits to pull out of the hat." smile... Well the IRS and I are getting ready to rumble. I am pulling stuff from I don't know where. A word of advice.... save your receipts, even if they are in a shoebox, you might need them. My creative memories are consuming me. I keep thinking, now didn't I go here and there - well did I count those miles????? Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
want2bmeagain 0 Posted September 23, 2007 Michelle~GOOD LUCK with the IRS...ugh! If you did your taxes wrong in your favor, do they give YOU money?? Question everyone Yesterday, I had to unplug my printer, which of course was a long reach behind it..I couldn't move it before unplugging it. So, my port sight pushed against the printer pretty hard, but not ridiculous. I notice today it is more sore, and feels more swollen than before. Should I worry???? Dr. K never really said anything to me about being real careful with it. I'm kind of scared. thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lap_dancer 8 Posted September 23, 2007 Unless you are experiencing PAIN I would just relax and give it a few days. That's the best thing you can do. Check yourself in the morning.

Lap_dancer 8 Posted September 23, 2007 Yes, I'm saying that I won't be there in October. Will most likely make it in November. Getting out the planner and seeing what Dr. K has open. Can we say ESCAPE? I am so sad I am not coming. My card is maxed and I am bleeding out money not to mention my daughter called and she is going through a female scare at the moment. My inner warning system is saying ...finally sign...time to postpone. Lap - Are you saying you won't be here in Oct? Let us know.

DynamoMini 1 Posted September 23, 2007 Lap - you are exactly right deciding not to come when everything tells you not at this time. I believe in the energies of the universe and to listen to them in action is DIVINE. So, as sad as I'll be not seeing you (loved talking) we'll catch up another time. Anita - when I opened the page and there you were, pretty and vital - WOW! you are a hot mama. Getting ready to go to the accountant today, not feeling down, I've done a lot of the work I needed to do for the audit. I always was a good student when I cared. I lost another two pounds, it was funny I didn't get on the scale for two weeks, then boom. I am happy with this loss, even after lox and a bagel for dinner last night. Hugs, Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hugs, Michelle Hello Friends: Dynamo thank you!! ( a cyber hug your way) Good luck with the taxes. Sharing good thoughts today One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves.” “One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
