~*~*~ WEDNESDAY ROLL CALL~*~*~

Ok, so I have been a bad poster when it comes to Roll Call. Thank you so much to Cyndi for picking up where I am falling short. I have no excuses for not being here and celebrating each Wednesday with my family!!!! So, without any more hesitation, WEDNESDAY ROLL CALL!!!!! 1) What music gets your foot tappin' even when you are in a bad mood? 2) If you could meet someone famous who would it be and why? 3) What WAS your highest clothing size? 4) When do you decorate for the holidays? 5) If you could get just one thing for the holidays this year, what would it be? My answers: 1) Boy, sometimes I stump myself. Let's see, there are a variety that do. I would say that anything with a really good beat, like, 80's/90's dance music, some of the country songs, Dixie Chicks and Martina McBride are the first to come to my mind. 2) I would meet, gosh, another stumper. Ok, my first thought is Brian Stokes Mitchell. I just MELT when he sings. I have always loved a man who would sing to me. Then I thought, Oprah. She has been through a lot and I would love to sit and talk with her. I am sure that I would be inspired and uplifted. My last thought was Joyce Meyer. I am reading her book "The Confident Woman". I have always lacked confidence in myself and she isn't saying anything that I haven't heard before, but she just really reaches me. She has made such an impact on my life lately, that I would love to meet the person that has brought me out of my scared shell and opened up a world to me that I was always so afraid of. 3) Ever, would have been 30/32, but right before surgery it was 26/28. Now, 18 getting ready for a 16. That is my positive thinking right there folks. 4) Well, there is no normal answer for that for me. We have been going through construction at our house and last year I refused to even decorate because nothing was getting done. This year, I would like to be decorated already. I am having many more people over than usual since I am working from home and I would like to have it all decorated for them. The construction still isn't done yet, but it is progressing, finally. 5) OOOOOHHHHHH.....well, the selfish side of me would love another ring. I love rings and jewelry. I would also love a shopping spree, but that would be pointless since the moment I buy something I shrink some more and then it doesn't fit anymore. So, my true answer would be to have the remodeling done in my house. All of it. Not just the stuff that has already been started but the things on the list that have been put off since we haven't finished the first stuff yet. Other than that, I have always just wanted someone to start me an ornament collection. So, what's up with all of you? Answers people answers, I am so anxious to hear from all of you. Keep on keepin on!!!!! Jeanna

Hi Jeanna, and everyone. I took a couple of days to decompress between jobs, but apparently I decided to implode instead. I won't go into details here, but life has been challenging in the past week, and I have not had a chance to get online much. Anyways, Jeanna, it's nice to see your Wednesday roll call. Thank-you. 1) What music gets your foot tappin' even when you are in a bad mood? I like certain 70s music that I can remember from the beachfront rec.centre where we used to vacation. I also like stuff from the 80s/90s dance music. 2) If you could meet someone famous who would it be and why? I am so impressed with the story of Nelson Mandela's life, and I think he has some profound things to say. I wouldn't feel worthy, but I would love to meet him. 3) What WAS your highest clothing size? I had just creeped into a size 28 at the time of my surgery. It might have been higher, except I was wearing stretch granny pants--you know the non-stop elastic waist clothing. 4) When do you decorate for the holidays? I like to decorate the last week of November, but my partner prefers to wait until around my birthday (December 12), so it is never consistent. The tree is always the last thing we get to decorating. 5) If you could get just one thing for the holidays this year, what would it be? I want a ski boat, sadly I will not get a ski boat, no $$$. Other than that, I don't really want or need anything (except clothes and shoes of course). Ask me this time next year, I will probably be asking for plastic surgery Lori 291/185/140
