Next time they have the room tours on the longer cruises (usually someone will offer... ) go and camp out!!! (and if you can play the piano...(if it's still there...)

Tell me what date and I'll talk to John. What time will you be done with the audition? John won't be home until 5:30-6:00 and the we would need a half hour to drive down there. Is that doable? We'll try to work it out!!!

Wednesday, February 8. I think we'll be done around 5. The last thing we have is a campus tour at 3:30 and I figure that will last an hour or so. We might watch a little bit of a rehearsal they have going for their dance concert, but that's not set in stone and we can come and go as we please, so 6-6:30 might be a pretty good time. If it doesn't work out that's fine. We'll be seeing you in April anyway!

Ok.. time to brag... This is Brian in Rome.. he's the 4th one in from the left....

(and before you count the 7 girls.. he left his GF of 2 years back home at college and they are )

I came in late...What's going on in Rome? Is it a semester abroad? Erik is doing a trip to Europe this summer but just for a month. The first 2 weeks is an organized trip with some of his professors, but the last 2 weeks he'll be on his own. I wish one of his buddies was going to hang out with him but I guess he has different ideas from some of the others. He wants to stay a whole week or maybe the whole two in one place, (either London or Paris) but his friends want to see as much as possible and move around. I'm NOT thrilled about that. He's a great kid and I'm sure he'll be fine but at age 20 I don't think I would have handled a crisis in a foreign country all by myself very well!

Brian goes to the University of Dallas... it's a Jesuit school and they have a campus outside of Rome. He's doing a semester there. I'm going through withdrawal because Brian and I talked a lot each week.. now I have to wait until I either get a camera for my laptop to skype or when he comes home in May...

BTW.. tell him to go to London... for his mother's sake.. there are a few WONDERFUL Disers here (Kaz & Mandy) who we can send in to rescue him if necessary.. (of course he'll come home drinking champagne... )

Oh Ok. I know exactly how you feel. I gained 40 up from where I was when I started WW. I'm thinking of maybe doing WW again or maybe Jenny Craig. Coz it's not working by me just trying to eat well and I am trying.

Well you still look good.....must be all that exercising.

I (unfortunately) have gained back about 20 of the 30 lbs that I had lost....grr

I'll join this club! I lost over 30 pounds back in 2009 but gained virtually all of it back over the next 2 years. So in December I went back to WW and I'm really pleased with the results. For me it's the only plan that makes sense because I can still eat my favorites like KFC and Pizza Hut and Chick-fil-A and not feel guilty. I just limit those to one or two days per week and balance it out with LOTS of fruits and veggies on those days. So far I'm down 11 pounds and it's been pretty easy.

I also bought myself a pedometer and I've been really committed to earning more WW Points by walking every day. Averaged 20+ extra points per week just be paying attention to those steps!

Way to go Tracy!!!

I'm hoping to go back to WW as soon as I can...

Where's all the guys that Brian borrowed clothes from when his suitcases didn't arrive? All I see are girls. haha.

Good for you going the right direction on the scale again!

I think his roomates are on a different class rotation than him because of his major...

But he also had his parents credit cards.. so he was gonna get along just fine.. of course his entire wardrobe will be Rome T-shirts...

I was just kidding. It's funny seeing him with all girls and only one guy. That's a great ratio for Brian.

But his heart belongs to Kasey... (2 years now...)

Great picture.....such a good looking and happy couple.

 

[Tink rules]

Yeah... young love... she's a keeper.. cause she gets along really well with Aunt Shell... Now Mark and his wife... I don't know her... I met her at the wedding... somehow I think that will be sort of it...

 

[mishoe01]

have had a great weekend away from the house....yesterday went with dear friends to Sanibel & Captiva islands (saw a pod of dolphins playing in the surf & did some great beach walking). Today spent a little time at Disney's Hollywood Studios). Spoke to everyone in my family too (sister, bro-in-law, nephew, niece and parents). Supposed to now be doing laundry, but playing on the computer & watching "Facing the Giants". Thinking of a nap

Quiet weekend here.

still struggling with the meds... i've realized I'm using them not only for the muscle spasms but also for anxiety. I don't want to mix meds so... but i don't like it at all.

the worse part is I found out the Zanaflex causes hallucinations. not fun... I've seen bugs and spots in front of my eyes and today I even saw a person. so it's time i get myself off of it.

unfortunately the only real way of getting off of it is to sleep it off. so that's what I've been doing.

You know you can always call/text

Thanks Monica! All week, I'd barely get off the phone with one person and then another would be calling, and constant texts with everybody involved. It was CRAZY!!!!! But as you'll see on FB, all worked out!

And since Kathe isn't on FB, I'll share here too: Jan and I start tomorrow with Mike, our boss who was let go from the old firm, and the other attorney under him is already there working. We have no equipment, no computer system (other than a laptop and old desktop Mike has scrounged up to get us started), no dictation equipment, etc., but he's bringing us in tomorrow just so we're not sitting around unemployed. We'll find things to do, I'm sure. SO HAPPY!!!!!!

This is GREAT news!! I had not read it on FB, so glad you did a recap here.

 

[Tink rules]

Wow... that lasted long.. you didn't even get the chance to stay home for a day or so and watch soap operas!!!

Congrats!!!
