Has anybody missed Me??????

I'mmmmmmm BBBBBBBAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKK............................

For those of you I scared by being MIA I'm sorry to have worried you.(and I'm sure there are a few of yall who've enjoyed the peace and quiet - ha ha) I really never imagined having a life that is quite so "busy". It's WONDERFUL. Things have been hectic at work for over a month now. My boss had a stroke in the office on May 1st and that has really created it's own sort of drama. She's doing much better and continues to improve. Not sure when she'll be cleared to drive or return to work.

The computer gremlin on the homefront has wreaked havoc on my laptop and the wireless network we use. Hopefully that problem has been corrected and I'll get some additional online time (but summer is here and the weeds in the garden don't care if I get online or not).

I'm learning to sail. David is still wonderful and the relationship is everything I ever dreamed possible and then some.

My sons are both officially out of school and both enrolled and registered in schools for the fall semester. My oldest is going to Augusta Tech in Augusta, GA starting Sept. 30th for their culinary program. (That's 8 hours away from me - ?!?!?!) My youngest is enrolled in the Diesel program at ATI in Virginia Beach. He'll start classes on August 24th and will commute from home.

The weight loss had stalled for such an incredibly long time. I've taken a break from the scales. The way I feel and the way my clothes fit speaks volumes about my success. The last time I weighed I was at 206 so I know that onederland is near. I've gone down another size so that now I'm in 14's. 

I cannot believe this incredible journey. I've missed yall - but I knew that yall were only a couple of clicks away. It feels good to be back - it feels like home.

Well DUH!!!!  Of course we missed you!  Hope things settle down soon for you sweetie!

It is nice having you back.  It is like reading a romance novel.  I can not wait to hear what you and David do next. 
I sail and I love it.  But I gave it up when I gained so much weight.  I am looking forward to sailing again. 
Things sound wonderful for you.  Enjoy.

 

IRIS WE MISSED YOU!

Annie, Barb, Shauna, and I were just wondering about you and hoping you were ok!

Glad to see a great update, all positive and living large (just in life that is)!

Welcome home and don't leave us so long next time!

ME, ME, MEEEE!!!! I missed you! :-)
Glad you are still happy and still in love!
And if you got on the scale right now, I bet you've lost weight...especially if you've gone down a whole size! Woohoo on the 14's, girlfriend!  That's awesome! 
I went shopping at lunchtime today and picked up a pair of white jeans, size 12.  I looked at them and they looked too small.  I said, WTH, and tried them on...they slipped up effortlessly! I truly think my mind has no idea what my body looks like!  Did a happy dance in the dressing room! LOL!  That'll be you in a few weeks, too!  Congrats, honey, and don't leave us for so long next time!

OMG - your new Avie is awesome. You've done so good. Thanks for the encouragement.

I missed you, too, neighbor!  I SWEAR we will get together this summer!  Sounds like you are doing wonderfully well!

I have missed you.  Was wondering where you were for the Greenville meetup last week.  Hope to see you in August.  Glad to see you've come back!!!

Hi Iris,

I'm so glad to hear that you are well and yes you have been missed.

Wishing you continued success and a delightful summer.

Warmly,
