Hi gals!
Nic---SO glad to hear from you. Was a bit worried. And girl, you absolutely crack me up! Trying to imagine you "goofing off upside down." Hmmmm. You are just funny in the best ways, even when the chips are down. And you have a way of phrasing things that often makes me giggle and I love it.
So sorry you had to suffer near hysteria till you tried the "half summersault maneuver" puke pail on hand. Am curious about what a half summersault is all about.
But just happy it worked. I HATE being dizzy. And from those I've heard about who have suffered w/vertigo, dizzy doesn't begin to describe it. And may I just say, after all that, the list of things you've gotten done despite it all puts me in awe. OMG, I sometimes feel like a buttercup compared to you gals!
Not getting Bookbub e-mails. Could swear I signed up, need to check my spam e-mail account which I use whenever I buy something. Perhaps I put that one down. Frankly, don't know which end is up on so many things these days. Being overwhelmed is not your friend when it comes to the details.
Oh, and I too LOVE Elizabeth Berg. Have you ever read "The Pull of the Moon?" so gorgeous. Thanx for reminding me of her. I need to see what the library has by her on kindle, as soon as I catch up with what I already have.
Trig---YES! You've got the idea! Make that decision after a nip, LOL. Gotta say though, the jelly fish thing would have me very wary. For me, there are few things I love more than being on the beach in front of an ocean, or walking along letting the waves wash over my feet. But to be honest, I usually don't go in very deep, I'm happy at about thigh to waste level, then float on my back and let the waves roll gently over me. Although, those jelly fish like the same shallow waters I do. How is kiddo doing? All recovered?
Jaz---Oh man, that boss of yours! From a distance, I have room to feel sorry for her, as long as she's not hurting you. Which seems like she's too out there right now to do. Wow, what a bizarre scene you described. Like something from a Lifetime movie, LOL. Sounds like either some very strong meds, or a break down of sorts.
My mom had several break downs. People often don't really understand what this means, but in short, it means inability to function normally. Many things can cause it, but it is often as physiological as it is psychological, or a mix of both. But despite the many psychological issues some people deal with, they can still function. Your boss sounds to me like she is at the edge of the cliff. It is sad that no one is there to pull her back.
And it is as crazy as she is right now that she is allowed to stay in that job. Honestly, in my long career as an independent contractor, crawling in and out of one business after another, I don't know that I've ever seen anything like this.
And OMG gal, the taxidermist. NO, NO, NO! That thing is super creepy to me. Lord, you've got the stories! Can't wait till Charleston. We gals are going to have a blast sharing things it takes too long to do here. Really. Cannot. Wait.
Lori---Haha on the hubs w/the remote. I hear you sister. Sometimes I try to grab it and he's not quite out yet, and will open his sleepy eyes and say "I'm watching this!" I just smile sweetly and say, "oh, sorry." Five more minutes and the remote is mine.
K-mom---
Yep, still missing you. Hope you are doing well.

I have gassed on enough about me in my last posts, so tonight it's all about you guys. I cannot thank you all enough for your encouraging words and thoughts over this last difficult year, and for all your happy words for us and our future new life in our new apartment. I just felt so embraced by all of your best wishes for us. It has meant SO MUCH TO ME.
Love you all. Really do. Talk about y'all often and people are kind of amazed at our closeness and the fun we have fighting bad habits. There is no one close to me in my life that doesn't know about my pals on my LC forum!
And to think, we all came together over our carb hound issues, and we'll stay together over those, as they ain't going away. But there has been much more. So much more.
