OT: Random Stuff with Pics

I am falling asleep while at work because my body is trying to adjust to being back in the overnight work mode here. I worked so much Sunday (from 10am-7pm) that after all is said and done and I get to sleep, I will have been awake for 29 hours. Ooo yuck! The Ski Watch Reports go LIVE today. So, in Litchfield, you will hear me on ZBG today. Many other stations around the US will hear me today as well. I am excited about this. I leave Star at 4:45 this morning, then head to CRN for 5:30. After the get-together Saturday, my husband and I went to Mohegan Sun. Well, we lost an s-load of money, but we had some fun! Beyond all we have been through recently, he has been the single most supportive person through all of my changes with work and surgery and my overall attitude, so I am glad he was able to come to the get-together and he was very happy to meet a lot of you! Here are the pics from the casino: http://www.del-pro.com/users/smooo/album/mohegansun/ Friday night, I went to a "Fantasia" Party - like a Princess House or Pampered Chef party with adult-type things! I am going to have a party in a couple of months. If you LADIES (for ladies only, sorry Peter) are interested, let me know so I can send you an invite (or evite) when the time comes!

Tara- Great pictures-looks like the two of you had a great time! Hugs Joanie

Great Pics as usual!! Thanks for sharing. It was great to meet you and your husband and I am glad things are well for you guys! Have a great day and hope ya get to sleep tonight! Phyllis

Hey Tara, Thanks for sharing. It was so great to meet both of you. I went to the Mohegan Sun last week and lost EVERYTHING too! O'well, at least I got my exercise in that day I am so happy for you that things are better in your life. You deserve the best! xoxoxo JA PS I was driving around in my car yesterday and turned on STAR and I heard you What a lucky surprise that was! Take care.

A friend of mine said "How much did you lose?" .... My answer: "84 pounds". His reply: "Uhh, no, I mean how much money did you lose at the casino?!?" I am so used to being a LOSER, it comes naturally to me to reply that way. LOL Ooo thank you for listening to me!! That is soo neat! Tara

Tara, You look amazing and you and Ed make such a lovely couple but girl please get some sleep lol. Glad you had fun at the casino. I would love to attend a Fantasia party. Toya

Hey Toya! You are so sweet. Sleep? Whassat? I am trying, girl - but I am so addicted to work. I did get about 8 hours of some good Zzzz's today though! Wahoo! I will send you some info after the holidays about the Fantasia Party. Tara

Tara, Great pics. It was great to meet you and Ed Saturday. Glad you had a nice time at the party and casino and that things are better for you guys. terri

Hi Tara, Just wanted to say I was sad to not get to meet you on Saturday. Great pics! You are just melting away. You've got to be close to your goal by now?? Looking good! KUTGW!! Take care, Michelle

Hi Michelle! I was hoping to meet you too. You know, you just made me think of something I wanted to say when we all stood up to speak at the get-together (and I told this to Lisa G) .. I was skinny most of my life, until I got pregnant. During the 11 years that I was heavy (and getting heavier by the minute), I used to fall asleep wishing to God that I would wake up thin. Each morning, for 11 years, I was very disappointed that I was still a fat person. My weight loss happened SOOO incredibly fast that it almost seems like it happened overnight. Now, I don't really remember being heavy, unless I look at pictures. I've learned that ANYONE can truly have anything they want if they work hard enough and really set their mind to it. Thank you for your kind words, Michelle. Tara
