Is this sick or what? hmmmm goofy can't get worse than this TEEE...HEEEE....

I see Buyers Choice carolers in there.  I have a story about them.  When I got married back in the dark ages the thing I wanted for Christmas was the 1st edition Marley's Ghost to the original series of a Christmas Carol.  My husband (of the time) bought it for me, and I went on to collect the entire series including the first few I had already missed. That started in 1985, fast forward to 1999 and in the divorce agreement we split up all the Christmas stuff, of course the carolers are mine, they were all gifts to me.  But somehow Marley's ghost went missing, kidnapped if you will.  I begged my ex husband to return the figurine, it was killing me having an incomplete set, but he denied taking it and keeping it from me.  So I said screw it and I bought a replacement (not first edition but a second edition, not exactly the same but close enough) on ebay.  So for the next few years my set is complete.  Then all of a sudden one year my ex says he has a gift for me, what is it, the safe return of Marley's Ghost.  The dick had been keeping him from me all those years.  Now I have two.  lol  How petty can you be.  Uggghhh.

At least you got your first edition Marley's Ghost back that is AWESOME ... too bad sometimes people go the petty route ... I can think of a couple things I wish my ex would return but it would only **** me off and I refuse to let him or the past rent space in my  mind... 

Your complete 1st edition collection must be awesome!

Wow, ^5 to your son!  And dayum - the doll DOES look like you - too cool!

Thank you Sandie ... I have to find a spot for her... she is too tall to fit in the cabinets and I don't want her knocked over by my brat ferrets either...

How cute, I can't wait for the matching outfits, they are coming.  I hear a sewing machine firing up in the distance.  lol

Your son is a sweetie!

Hi Martitia! I've been very lax about OH lately and it shows with my weight gain (ugh!) My brother said to me the other day if you don't start shaping up you will have a heart attack and he'd probably be right on! (Too many sweets and fast food!) I wanted to tell you how much I have missed reading your posts!! They are truly inspiring! The doll is beautiful but so are you! I expect to see matching outfits now!!!

As always it is a pleasure to read your journey and I hope that you will inspire me to get my rear in gear and get back on track! I have unfortunately gotten up to within 11# of 300 again! (Lowest was 233) Its a battle but one I intend to at least go down with a fight on!!  Keep on posting!! You do help so many as do all of the regulars here on OH! Love ya all!!  Molly  P(Mary)
