ROLL CALL - LET'S HEAR FROM YOU!

Happy Friday all! It's been a crazy week for me. I've been working two jobs (as usual), but have found time to walk and walk...and walk some more. I have had this terrible upper respitory infection and cough that won't go away. I can't smell or taste anything, but it hasn't stopped me from eating I don't have much planned for the weekend, as I leave next Thurs. on my vacation, so I will be doing house prep stuff and getting the dogs ready to go to friend's. This is the first time they will be separated since I got the baby almost three yrs ago But "mom" needs a vaca. On a positive note, I'm down -72 lbs gone foreva!! Thank you Dr. Bell for this tool! xo JA

Hey J- Looks like it's you and me so far... Congrats on your EXCELLENT progress!!! I'm having a looooooong week over here. (is it 5:00 yet?) I'm getting excited to go see the Gipsy Kings in concert tonight with some girlfriends and then going to Ultra 88 at Mohegan sun tomorrow night for some hardcore dancing and fun. Anybody ever been there? I think we need to have a CT Dancing night out as an activity...anybody in? Y'all have a nice weekend now, hear? Hugs, Lisa C

Hey Lisa, Sounds like a great time! I'm in for dancin' just say where and when! I'm sooo ready for FL! Is it Thurs. yet? xo J

Joanie M., Phyllis R., Sandy Pesino and I (along with some other friends and family) are going to the Repertory Theater of New Britain tomorrow night to see Robin Handleman (those of you who go to the support group at Middlesex or were at the Spring Fling may know her -- one of these days she'll get on this website) perform in "Guys and Dolls". That's the highlight of my weekend. As far as a night out dancing, that would be fun. Kelly Kern was thinking of getting a group together for line dancing. Have you tried that, Lisa? Hugs, Debby

Lisa You plan it..I am in! We talked about Country Line Dancing at the Cadillac Ranch on Sundays...nothing ever came of it. Joanie

Hey JA, Congratulations on your weight loss, great job. I have lost 80lbs so far as of today. I have been going crazy this week here at work. We are having a fundraiser dinner tonight at the Senior Center and we have been running around like crazy. I can't wait for it to be all over. I have not been doing too good with my back this week, I don't know why but its been hurting alot. Other than that I am doing ok. I have alot going on this month with my husband's birthday and memorial weekend picnics. Then my daughter is graduating from 5th grade and going to middle school. She is growing up too fast. Well everyone have a wonderful weekend. Be back for the next roll call. Hugs Kim C

WOW Kim 80 lbs WOO HOO!!! Keep it goin' girlfriend! Congrats JA

Holy Cow, I have a cold. Are you kidding me?? Like I haven't had enough stuff going on these past couple weeks, I have to get a cold too!!!! Okay, enough whining. Early to bed and hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. I have a date with some ladies from this Board tomorrow night, which I am very much looking forward to. Sunday, I am having a small family gathering. We are celebrating my cousin's birthday. Nothing fancy, just an opportunity to get togther. Monday I go back to work. Kinda excited. I have just about had it with sitting around this house. I love my apartment, but really sick of looking at it. Have a great weekend!!

JA: Have a great time in Florida. Wish I was going too!!! Bring some of the warm weather back with you will ya. Lets see weekend plans....hopefull the weather will improve since my DH and I promised my son we would go fishing. Then sunday we have a kids birthday party to attend. Other than that I plan on relaxing. Monday I am going to the beach at noon for a work thing. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. I am down 87 pounds and have 8 pounds to loose to meet Dr.Bell's goal weight for me. It seems I have been stuck at -87 forever!!! These last 8 are going to drive me nuts. Though I figure when I go into the hospital in October for another surgery I will probibly loose some weight as well. We all know how yummy hospital food is!!! (NOT) Take care, Chryssie

Thanks Chryssie!! I sooo can't wait, can you tell? You look marvelous, so even if you don't lose another ounce, you are still "da bomb"!!! xoxoxo JA
