That is wonderful! Think of all the great exercise you got also!

OH! I have a good one!! My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years. We've lived together for 5 years. So we see each other every single day. So we're on our way to the Eric Clapton concert and had to stop at Wal-Mart to get some cash. He dropped me off in the front so that I could "run in" and he was going to circle the parking lot and come pick me up at the door. So, I get the cash and walk out and see his truck facing me down at the end of the isle. I wave to say "come on" and he just sits there. So I think he doesn't see me. I start walking toward him and mind you he's at the back of the parking lot. So I'm about half way down and I see he's looking at me and I'm waving like "dude, bring it!". Nothing. So I finally walk all the way to his truck and said "did you not see me?". He said, omg, I totally didn't recognize you! He said "I thought that might be you but then it just didn't look like ya!". SO COOL! More: Collar bones, rings getting loose, shoes getting lose, I actually peepee differently. It doesn't trickle but comes out in a fast steady stream. Sorry, I know that's gross but really cool wow moment for me. Another cool one: I work with a bunch of financial reps, 99.9% men. Most are men my age or like 5 years younger than me. So lately they've been noticing that I'm a hot momma and comment a lot about how great I look. Well, Thursday... I'm standing at the copy machine and one of the really good looking reps comes in the copy room and as soon as he saw me his mouth dropped!!! He was embarressed and tried to play it off and said "you're really looking good Holly". Oh! I've been smiling ever since!!

OK, as always I am the last to answer. With school on - teaching, taking classes, and committees - I am only on the site weekends. AGHH. I would love to exchange cards, but don't know about the acct. journal. (?!?!?!) 1. The hairloss is definately a bummer. That and not being able to have a caffine free, diet coke. I am having serious mind withdrawls. 2. Probably the family room (when I'm home, its usually playing with the kids and family, or watching TV.) Unless you count the 6 hours of sleeping time, then the bedroom. 3. Barnes and Noble - all over - depending on the day and the mood. I love almost anything non-fiction. 4. TV- again anything reality or game show. Survivor, Deal/no Deal, Wheel of Fortune 5. Wife, mother, grandmother, Christian, teacher! That about sums up my life!

I went to Big SouthFork Railroad with my dd and gd wednesday and was able to walk all the way up the mountain to the coal thingy that was across from one side of the mountain to the other. When you get there you can look down where you came from, I stood there and felt like crying, I could not have done that before. My Daughter Kitrina said mom you made it , you couldnt have did this before at all. Granted I had to sit down for about 15 minutes before I walked back down but I made it up there.

I'm right there with you! And I bought something at Sam's the other day.. Flipped me out!
