celly-

Sorry for the delay, W has been on pc for a while.

Things are ok here, how 'bout you?

Yesterday Tom gave me the idea of smoking a cigar so I went to the cigar shop and got a Griffin's (V cut, brandy dipped). Drove down to the water and had a very relaxing time. It really took the edge off!

Think I may do the same today...

Whats news with you?

Wow...celly, that is a real pleasant visual....NOT!!! I had a friend who's Mom would tell her to smoke a cigarette if she got constipated. YIKES!!! So, maybe you could kill two birds with one stone, ya know.

Hey there, ho there, Robby. How is it going. Kiss that baby today???

I am super happy today. HAD AN AWESOME church experience today. Feels good to get recharged and refocused for the week. I have a million meetings next week (seriously, my calendar is FRIGHTENING...I will feel like a presidential candidate on the campaign trail, pasting on smiles, visiting folks city to city). Plus, I meet with WH to "go over all the D paperwork" tomorrow. A long week to say the least.

Just for extra fun, I weigh myself every Sunday before church. I lost a total of 5 pounds this week. So, I decided to try on this new beautiful khaki linen skirt suit I had purposely bought two sizes too small about 6 months ago. At the time, I could barely get it zipped...it hung weird on my body, the jacket gaped weird in the bust, etc.

Today, I pulled on the skirt, and could not believe it. IT WAS TOO BIG!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO. I had to rifle through my drawers to find a pretty scarf to wear through the belt loops that matched the fitted sweater I was wearing, so it would not fall off of me ("skirt falling off = bad form" at church). Then, I tried on the jacket. It was a very fitted jacket, with all this tailoring in the waste line, kinda "fitted" on the bustline (thus the previous "gaping" in the past). It fit perfect, if anything, a little loose! Looked really cute. Very tailored. I COULD HAVE SHOUTED OFF THE MOUNTAIN TOPS THIS MORNING!!!!

The weight I put on after my pregnancies had so dramatically changed my body, that I have been in a depression for many years. Which would make it worse. I would feel depressed, eat more, gain more, get more depressed. And it was so not me. My early adulthood, prekids, I was always fit. And while I will never be runway model thin, never was, I was peppy and curvy and well proportioned, by most men's standards anyway, and I was relatively happy with myself. So this fat person was just not me...I was literally miserable with it.

So, in all total, between diet I had started before WH returned from India (affectionately known as the "I will lose some weight and then feel sexier and will then jump your bones because I missed you so much during your extended international business trip" diet), to the heart break diet, to the gonna survive and reinvent myself for me diet, I have lost a total of 40lbs. I have another 35 to go (because I want to reclaim some of the spunk I had in my youth, but would settle for another 20-25 lbs, but since we are goal setting, why settle). I think I will solve this issue for myself this year!!!! Woo hoooooooooo!!1

How are my friends??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Yeah DipiT,

I am ok. I've been reading your other threads and very happy for you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Woo Hooo!

I've just been quiet because I've been reflecting on your sit (and others) and trying to keep my head up...

S needs food (again!) more later... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Robby, Hey...quit feeding that kid so much. He is going to be on the line for the Buc's offense before you know it!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Anyhoo, I sense some depression. And you had better not be holding out on me, because you are not trying to really be real about where you are, because of my WOOO HOOO posts. What would friends be for, if they cannot take a time out from their mojo party and listen to a hurting friend. ((((((((((((Robby)))))))))))

What's on your mind, amigo? Dish it! Come on!!!

Thinking of you! If you want to email me, you can at . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

hi robby, yes i was not hurt with car thing at all last friday, just very shook.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I bathe weekly and turn my underwear inside-out every other day! </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">that is what was funny but kinda gross.

brad pit is OK but i am more into tom cruise. top gun all time favorite movie!!!!

camping was very fun. coming home to very unhappy H was not. but we ended up talking some and i think that helped him. my stress level is way up today though, he asked for (and i gave him) all contact info on OM, as in address and phone number. H is not sure if he is going to contact (and if so, how, i.e. in person or on phone) or not.

I Know Them All

Bubba was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them."

Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Bubba how about Tom Cruise?"

"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it. " So Bubba and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, "Bubba! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch! "

Although impressed, Bubba's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Bubba that he thinks Bubba's knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Bubba says.

"President Bush," his boss quickly retorts.

"Yes," Bubba says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington."

And off they go. At the White House, President Bush spots Bubba on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Bubba, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up." Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced.

After they leave the White house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Bubba, who again implores him to name anyone else.

"The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Bubba.

"My folks are from Poland, and I've known the Pope a long time."

So off they fly to Rome. Bubba and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Bubba says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Bubba emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Bubba returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.

Working his way to his boss' side, Bubba asks him, "What happened?" His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, "Who's that on the balcony with Bubba?"

Said a prayer for you yesterday... hope your meeting went well, or as well as it could be. Going to having many of those myself over the next few months.

Ok...you guys need to stop talking about me behind my back! Jeesh. Didn't you know that if you do it here, I WILL ACTUALLY SEE/KNOW IT????

Robby, you sweet little daddy of a new GIANT baby...how the heck are you????

CP: Now come on. Mad at you???? I pray for you in the bathtube for goodness sakes! What more could you ask for????

Mr. Joad: Thanks for the sentiments...I will recap everyone on the other thread.

I am super busy this week. The regional vice president guy in charge of the people in the company that do what I do is in town...and we loaded up on something like 15 appointments this week. So, alas, I cannot slack and be on MB all day (Robby, DO NOT TELL anyone else that I am in Cabo...you were supposed to keep that secret).

Hope you are all doing well!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I’m still here.

W was very indifferent towards me last night. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />

I do not want a D.

She says we will “probably” end up D.

How should that make me feel? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Anyway I pushed (stoooopid I know) for a decision.

Didn’t get one.

Just sent her this text message:

I love you. I do not want you to move out. I will miss you if you do. But I understand if you think you need to right now.

Sent it by text message b/c she ridicules me for saying things like that to her. Rolls eyes, gets upset…Uuugghh’s a lot…

And b/c I guess I’m a coward.

I have IC tonight at 7, think I’ll wait until after to post more.

I am so sorry you are hurting.
