Good Friday was a GOOD FRIDAY....

Yesterday, Em, Angie Bea, Austin, and I pal-ed around all over Jackson, Ridgeland, Flowood and points in between. We had the bestest of best times!! We ate Chinese - or rather they ate Chinese while I got weird looks from the waitress for peeling my 3 grapes and taking tiny bites of chicken and cantaloupe. (about 4 bites of chicken, 3 grapes and one cube of cataloupe and a couple bites of rice noodles - I wanted to order from the menu, but the waitress could not explain to me what was in the House Soup! She just didn't know!) Then we hit the fish store, Pets-R-Us and Wal-Mart where Angie Bea and I SHINED!!!! - and spent most every penny we had!!! Em was kind enough to take our picture so I put it on my profile. Go see our cute selves!!!!! We are beau-ti-mous!!!!!!! But best of all, we had a BLAST!!!! Smoochies Arlies

((((((((((((((((((((HUGGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))) 2 ARLIES Lady, you are looking good. I can defintely tell in your face that you are losing... I am glad that you was able to get out and have a good time yesterday. Doesn't it feel good to WANT to get out and go instead of having to get out cause you NEED to go get something and get something from the store. I love it.. Randall can't keep up with me. Since he has all his health problems (asthma & COPD) to list a few, it hard for him to keep up with me in a store so he is considering riding a motor wheel chair. Keep up the good work (like you have a choice now) hehe And ummm... I love POOH, and I call Randall my POOH, so I changed the background on profile to POOH.. You know they say when you hit your 40's you go through this CHANGE.. Most people go through the tattoos, piercing's in strange places, acting like a teenager again, running around on their spouce, sports cars, etc! You know the story.. Well this girl has went back into her childhood.. I LOVE POOH.. I even have a POOH watch now, and even socks with POOH's head hanging off the back, like the pom pom socks use to be.. lol But ya still gots to love me Love ya, Jo 444/414/325/-119

How funny that you are talking about tattoos and piercings... Since my surgery I have been talking to my husband about a tattoo. I went last night to the tattoo shop that my brother uses (often) and priced a tattoo for my lower back. I told him I wanted a very feminine pastel colored fairy sitting on a leaf blowing fairy dust. He is gonna draw it up for me and hopefully I will have it done this week. He told me to come look at his sketch Tuesday and come back Weds for the tattoo... I am so scared its going to hurt but I think it will be beautiful. Its something for myself. I thought about getting a belly ring when I am done losing the weight and post tummy tuck. When I get it I will post the pic on my profile. I am excited.

Arlies, Just look at you "girls out having fun." I can hear the fun in that picture! Keep having a blast! Best Wishes- Dx

Yall are beau-ti-mous! You both looked so excited and happy as you should! You have had your surgery and Ms Thang is next! I went to Wal-Mart tonight and spent a pretty penny as well. Not a good thing post vacation. I am in desperate need of a payday. Haha... I love to eat chinese. Its just not the same if I cant have the rice. I usually eat the brocolli and beef and wontons... I have to have the HOT mustard. Yall are making me hungry. Cant wait to see yall again. We need to do another luncheon. Talk to yall later!! Christine

Arlies, Just had to tell you that my 5 year old was looking over my shoulder as I was reading this post and looking at your profile to see you two out having so much fun! He was asking, "who's that?, and who's that?" etc... So I was telling him. When he asked who it was in the first pic of you alone, he said - "hmm, she 'yooks diffawent'". I must say you are looking good! HUGS Kimberly

Yeah yall we had a blast!!!! We ate we went fishy shopping then to the pet store (by the way yall would be proud the pet smart is right next to a marble slab creamery and WE RESISTED!!!!) The i think we bought the Pearl walmart out of about everything. And i even found a pair of dress shoes to fit me (a rarity and must buy!) And the queen bought the monster baby an easter basket with a pack of 50 cars in it and plenty of candy to keep him hyper for the next year to come...lol...man I am suprised that i didnt break em's camra when she took that pic....i look awful....(i was also very tired...its not easy keeping up with the queen now that she is gettin skinny) But they really made my day when they called and said for me to meet them in town....so i loaded up the monster boy and was on my way. And didnt get home till sometime after dark...it was WONDERFUL!!!! Love Yall!!!!!! Angie Bea
