Hi All~ Mary, good to hear from you! I really liked the stool you posted last week. Very lucky person who gets that. I have a friend who does small stools & paints nests & eggs on them, very symbolic of fertility. I love things that take art into utilitarian objects. I finished 2 watercolours in the last week. I'm pleased. I've been getting up earlier & not spending so much time on my computer, even tho I love being here & checking out what's happening! Talked with my b'son tonight & his family this afternoon. All is well with them. I was frustrated with not speaking to them for awhile . It is easy to let yourself get upset about incidents like this, when really, they are nothing. In the greater scheme of things, we are blessed with a great reunion & I delight in learning more about him all the time. It is a year & a half already. Time sure flies!

Hi Everybody - I'm here - on the road in Chicago - but I'm here. I wasn't on all weekend becasue we were haveing a weekend long celebration

Bill got me a digital camera for my birthday - and as soon as I figure it out, I'll post a photo for you all to see.

Hey Chris - I LOVE your ida of GE with a ligh bulb! It goes with my now permanent glow and the bright and shiny Valentine's Day gift I got at dinner last night (I flew out early this morning, so we celebrated last night)

You know, I used to HATE Valentine's Day - it always crowed my birthday - but from now on, it will be my absolute favorite holiday ever

GE

I posted my congrats on the other thread too, but it bears repeating! We're all so happy for you!

I agree with Linz - you need to take a picture of your hand for all to see! Hurry up and figure out the new camera and post us a picture. Please???

First - my ex asked for a divorce

Second - I stopped drinking soda

Third - I eat slowly , and only if I'm hungry - not because the clock say "Noon - time for lunch"

Fourth - I'm single handedly keeping Dasani Water in business!

Fifth - Walking from the train station to the office, instead of taking the shuttle - It's only a mile round trip, but it's helping - I feel better.

Sixth - no eating after 7pm

Seventh - No desserts during the week and go VERY easy on the weekends.

Eighth - TRY to keep up with 9 & 11 year old DAUGHTERS!!!

Ninth - Bye bye ice cream (This one was REALLY hard)

Tenth - All things in moderation.

Ok - I'll try to figure the camera out over the weekend (didn't bring it on this trip - no time for fun when buying a new hotel - ugh) and post for all to see, ok?

Happy Happy Happy Tiger Girl!

Hi All~ TOBY, you are a good role model! I love that you've told us about your special "gift"! Hope we can see a photo! Congratulations on your engagement & also on your perseverance as you took control of your own life & issues this year. And... thanks for the advice. Those hints can be modified to suit anyone's eating problems. Hugs & Congrats, again!

Congratulations Toby!!! How exciting...

Great weight loss advice too. I'm going to skip the first one, but am working hard on the second, third, sixth, ninth and tenth... maybe I need to add a few more? <sigh> I keep saying it'll be different when life settles down a little, but does it ever???? If not now, then when?

Thanks for setting the example, I'm upping my commitment (not only to lose weight, but to establish healthy habits)...

Hi to everyone else... Haven't been on alot lately, but been reading along!

Sally, thank you so much for the link for tea, it's in the mail!!!
