Hey gals! I went and got my new lenses yesterday- the hard gas permeable ones......it'll be a little bit of a struggle- I'm blinking like crazy. When I'm not blinking like crazy I am completely amazed how my distance vision has improved. I actually can tell what the pattern on the carpet at work is. I'd say the absolute hardest part is getting them out. MUCH harder than I thought it'd be. (Which is odd considering I'm always afraid of losing them by blinking them out or something). They're kinda burning like my other ones did in the AM, so I may not have gotten rid of that problem- she said it's because my eyes are dry. I probably look like I've been out partying all night or something- my eyes are half shut LOL. The news in Baghdad & Jerusalem is just terrible. The poor kids.... On the gas front, our gas prices went up .20 in the last two days....the cheapest in our area is now $2.09. We just paid $1.99 yesterday. Most of my family in AZ is affected by the gas shortage that they're talking about on Fox. My mom said there's no gas in the stations by her house and the lines are atrocious. She had 3/4 tank still when I talked to her on Monday. She was saying that they're saying there it's going to be next week before there really is any again. If she has to, she's just going to use some of her vacation time since she has so much of it still.
Sherry- Congrats on getting your room done!! Wanna come help me with the boat? I'm back on track with the Weight Watchers again. I've had my fun, now it's time to get serious and back in shape. Adam was on this morning, but I was putting my lenses in in the kitchen so I didn't see him. Sheesh, has it really been a month now since Rick & Todd were on? Where has the last month gone? The year is really beginning to fly by. I was one of the ones that mentioned Keen Eddie- we were just talking about that last night. I really like that show and I asked my hubby why it always seems to be the good shows that get axed. I'm going to have to remember to tell him that you found it. LOL- he only knows about Rick- don't even dare to tell him I think Todd's cute too. What's funny, is that Rick's been on when he's been in the room and he hasn't said *a word* until the other night- caught me off guard. I have the email still- I'll forward to Jan & Melissa this morning.
Denise- Yeah, I think I saw the same footage- Greta had it on her show. They were in the building with a camera running when you heard this BOOM and people were screaming......it gave me chills too. The first thought that came to my mind is how many of those you can hear screaming made & didn't make it. When I lost the 35 lbs two years ago (10 of which I have now gained back), I literally was able to get a new wardrobe and what I thought interesting was that I didn't want to wear the baggy clothes before (which I have preferred for at least the last 15 years or so, so it was a *huge* thing for me that I changed that). I still have some 'comfy' clothes (thank God), like my lounging around the boat uniform that consists of flannel or cotton bottoms and t-shirts. It was hard to see the girls on the blip they had- all of their hats casted a shadow on their faces so you could only just barely make them out. They were cute from what I could see. I just thought it was so sweet, and such an honor for them (as well as Rick) to have gotten to experience that. Like Nan said, we do have pockets here & there in CA where people appreciate the troops and Bush. Davis is.....such an idiot. Did ya'll check out that picture that I posted the link to yesterday? LMAO!! Yeah, I'm glad Rob got to stay on For Love or Money too. I didn't like that Eric guy *at all*- too smarmy or greasy or *something*....not sure what it was.
Leslie- I hope everything goes well in the surgery!! I'll be thinking & praying for you girl! It sounds like you're well prepared (if maybe only housewise) and it's great your mom's there to help out. Glad the toilet was easily fixed- you're so innovative! I'm sure it's annoying, but the thought of the girls getting a kick out of the rubber duckie and flushing the toilet all night have me ROFLMAO! Never give up on getting to where you want to be weightwise- believe me, I *never* thought I'd get to where I am now, let alone where I was last year (pre-ten lb weight gain-back). I do the same thing....my top two excuses are "It's Friday! (or Saturday.)" and "I need a treat- it's been a God-awful day".
Melissa- Sounds like you're having loads of fun (NOT) while you're mom's on vacation! It does feel different when you have your own place if that's any consolation. I used to *love* rearranging my room when I was still at home- I had a lot of options and always tried different things. I think that started around 7th grade. I don't think I did it as much when I moved out 'cause the places I had didn't have as many options, but the bug still got me once in awhile to try something new. Can't do that so much on the boat now- LOL. Everything is pretty much already there. I guess I've gotten used to the running around & stuff, but part of my 'kids or no kids dilemma' is that I don't know that I have the energy to be running around after them. The recall thing is weird- I heard that there hasn't been a recall in 80 years too, but AZ recalled one of it's governors about 14 years ago or so (I took part in that one too- hehehe)- when they recalled Mecham. I'm a little bamboozled on that one- but I've heard the same thing here. LMAO- those proportions seem WAY off- maybe they got the length & the hips mixed up LOL. How can you have a 26 in. waist & 60 in hips (although I think something close to that size of hips runs on my mom's side of the family.....if I'm not careful, I'm liable to end up with them.). LOL- Rosenthal- that's true, huh- it does bring James Rosen & Rick to mind.....what's funny is that my first creative writing instructor's last name was Rosenthal. Sarah Rosenthal to be exact. You know what's funny is that I've heard there are now "groomzillas" too! The groom is actually more controlling about wedding plans and how things have to be 'just so' than the bride. "You've got to e-mail me "why the words "Shepard Smith" and "bulge" attracted my attention at 1 a.m." now you've got me curious!"-- ME TOO!!!
OK- speaking of work, I need to get to it.
Later!
