Hello everyone i've had a tremondously way too hectic crazy busy stressful time of it but i am still around. i'll post more later. work has just about done me in but fortuanatley i have a wonderful boss who understands and is working with me to redesign my territory. i'm too good a rep who has overshold herself and not able to handle all that i have. now with the redesign i'll be able to get out there and see more new customers. i've done this before. 3 years ago we had to redesign my territory its sad but also a big relief. i know that my present customers will be well taken care of with the new rep. now i'll get that excitment back of going into new areas! its also hard getting use to being all alone. my younges son flew the coop. he is out there taking care of himself. the first few weeks were fantastic! i've cleaned out almost all the closets! everything looks neat and tidy all of the time. i come home to no dishes in the sink! no dirty towels on the floor! my light bill went down 50 bucks a month and so did my water/sewer bill. And food! geesh I dont' eat that much at all and he was suppose to be buyign his own food but geesh my grocery bill went down anotehr 50 bucks a week! i was goign through over a gallon of milk a week now a quart goes bad before the week is over. all that time i thought i was drinking all that milk i do believe it was him and not the cats getting into the fridge! its also a bit lonely. i miss him. so thats it in a nutshell i look forward to reading all the postings i've missed.

Pammy, I'm still here too. Was life this crazy before I lost weight? I don't remember being this crazy busy. I'm still in construction hell. I will never again hire someone to do what I can. this has been the most frustrating experience. I think I'm getting a little cranky because so far this week, I've fired the yard guy (now I've got to do it myself), fired the construction company (have to finish the bathroom myself) and fired my dentist (OK, I draw the line at doing my own dental work). It's funny That I'm working my butt off around the house and still finding time to eat more. I think the chaos and dust around here has me in a state of stress and I'm certainly a stress eater. OK, I'm off to grout the slate tile in the bathroom. I HATE grouting! Connie

thanks connie, i've found i'm a stress eater too. gee who knew??? I think of you often when i'm doing one of my remodeling things. hahaha but i won't do major things on my own. i don't have the strength to do some of the things i want to do so i end up hiring these poor guys who have to listen to me yakking over their shoulder while they are trying to get thejob done. i just want to see how they do it, store it away in my little brain and then try it someday on my own. things i won' tattempt are anything electrical i'm too scared to light up like a christmas tree. plumbing major plumbing is also scarey - i can't swim. but i will clean out those pipes under the sink. this weekend i plan on taking off the old dryer hose and replacing it. this is a big scarey as the last time i did it 3 years ago i found 3 snake skins and refused to go in my den for weeks after. i was sure that my den was a fun place for snakes and that the old dryer hose had been a coat room for them. those skins were BIG. i'll admit it here but i also took my laundry to the laundromat...i'm also goign to do some painting. trip around the windows needs a clean up and i have stairs i ripped carpet off of that need to be painted. they dont' look as nice as i'd hoped they would so i'mgoing to do the clean paint look but next income tax season the return is going to new carpeting on those stairs. this year so far i had a new tile floor put in my upstairs bath & the landing in front of it. I love the look I wish I' d had the money to have the tile put in the whole upstairs including my 2 bedrooms up there. nope didn't have it but i did get to put a wood laminate in my bedroom. i LOVE it looks very nice. my carpet was extremely old original to the condo almost 20 years. i ahve pets need i say more? i've also painted my bedroom put wall paper board up that was fun doing it alone! and i repainted my son's room who moved out. there is always something to do in my home to improve it. its more of what to do next not what to do.
