Wow!  I had just about given up hope of such a thing ever occurring in my lifetime...

No, unfortunately, it's NOT my dream job in my chosen field....

BUT--at this store where I'm working, my late husband's cousin works as the butcher.  Now, we've always been friendly-I ran into him lots when I worked as delivery person. Mark ALWAYS knew I was Danny's wife, his dad's sister's DIL.  Anyway-- the second day there I saw him in the manager's office-- as he is management--and I said 'hi, how ya doin', Cuz, gee, I guess I'll be seeing more of you now that I'm also an employee, blah, blah. Chitchat small talk. The next day he comes up to me and says 'You ARE Anna's DIL??  I just didn't recognize you the other day--you look terrific!  How'd ya lose so much weight??.  Of course I proceded to tell him about WLS and how life changing it is.  This guy is sooo in need of it--'cuz he must weigh about 400#s.    

So anyway--WOWs happen even at 3+ years.   It made my day!

(And my work ethic is impressing my supervisors.  They want to hire all females 40+ because we KNOW HOW TO WORK as opposed to 'the kids' (students) who have to be babysat. 
**Just what I was told**

Ain't my life pathetic???

Thanks for the sweet words, Linda Ann. (right name?)  Or should I just refer to you as 'lafoster'?

((It's also pathetic that I have to use threats to get my kid to take pictures of me!
))   

I'm still hanging on believing that there is THE job out there with MY name on it!

THANKS!!

Thanks, Deb!

Somewhere along the way I heard that 'faith is a muscle--and  you have to exercise it'.   So at least
that muscle is getting a work out! 

((HUGS))

Sue, First, what a great new PRETTY picture in your avie, I love it! Your job is right, knowing non-kids work WAY harder! Much stronger work ethic! That's great DH's cousin didn't recognize you, maybe you'll inspire him to have WLS too.

Thanks, Kristy!

I LOVE this picture of Lauren! She is such a cutie!!!!

I hate to admit it--this younger generation includes MY KIDS!
Mind you--my twins (the middle kids) are extremely hard workers--yet the oldest and the youngest (Quin)
hardly work!     Is that because of birth order, or genetic makeup?   (My older brother was the laziest thing alive when we were growing up.) HMMMMmmmm

I would love to be the influence that spurs Cuz Mark to have WLS. He is the CLASSIC apple shape.  I've never seen such a ROUND-shaped man before. He said he does have very high BP. 

Have a terrific day!
