Hi Y'all. . . Hey U's Guys. . .

Good Morning from the Snowy East Coast, thankful this morning that I don't live in Boston, where they might get 1 to 2 feet, I got about 6 inches of the fluffy white stuff. . .  anyway, while I was heading out the door this morning, got a call from THE DALLAS SISTAH, Janet, inquiring as to how I am. . .

BUSY!  My son told me just last week (or was it the week before, so busy can't keep track), that I'm busier than most executives he knows. . . 

Work has been incredibly busy, so it can be hard to steal time to visit with you all, though you are never far from my mind and heart.  I joined Planet Fitness, as I needed to get back to doing what I need to in order to lose my regain weight (20 lbs total from my lowest weight), before I get totally miserable, and, of course, there is my AA meetings, so most nights when I arrive home (between 8 and 9 o'clock), the last thing I'm thinking is getting on the computer, unless it is to play a quick game of bejeweled, you know, mind checkout time. . . However, I used my Xmas gift certificates and Tony helped some, so I did get a new laptop, that I can now sit on my couch with, but hard to type and pet Roxie girl, who is feeling neglected by her Mom lately, matter of fact I have not yet seen my grandchildren this New Year 2011, maybe I can do it tonight, I will contact my DIL to find out availability. . .

So there you have it my friends, my life in a nutshell and believe me that is a hard nut to crack. . .

I just wanted to say, how much I appreciate all of you and the fact that I was missed makes it nice to know that truly I have a family here on OFF that is much appreciated.  Not sure I can catch up with you all, so drop me a line here and let me know what I've missed for the past almost two weeks, this way I can see what you all have been doing. . .

Love and miss you when I can't be here. . .

Prayers to those in need, Nettie and her Tom, Bev, Marcia and on and on. . .  you are all in my thoughts and prayers daily. . .

Hugs, Laureen

Wow Laureen you have been busy and yes you have been missed!
Take time just for yourself and Sweet Roxie!

Glad to know you are doing well.  I don't envy your drive in the snow.  I have been watching the weather chanel and it seems there is a lot of the white stuff around.  When it gets bearable  throw a couple of bones for Roxie to chase for me. 

Thanks Janet for calling Laureen! I was wondering too, but assumed that she was running crazy as she does from time to time. I'm still at work too. I came here on the way home from San Francisco- I needed to be ready for school tomorrow and this is my  best option. My testing is done and my boobies are doing just fine! That's it for my news. Good for you for taking the bull by the horns with exercise!
