Man-Ohhhhhhh-Man, it's cold outside.  I'm getting cabin fever with all this snow and cold weather, I need a warm vacation SOOOON!!!! Oh yea, I just got back from one to FL and we FROZE!!! Ugh, Spring come sooon, phuleaaaase!!!!   

I haven't been eating very well lately, since I've had my head cold.  I just don't really feel like eating and since last weekend, I've really ceased snacking, so that's a good thing.  I'm down 130 pounds now, so 5 pounds in 2 months since my 12 month anniversary (today is my 14 month anniversary).  I cannot believe how fast this has gone and how dramatically my life has changed.  All the wishes and hopes I had have certainly all come true.   I am such an advocate of this surgery, it's disgusting.  I never go up to people but I can't help but see others and think "candidate".  I realize WLS isn't for everyone but it certainly was life altering for me, it's given me my life back and I'm thrilled.  The only medication I still take is for my hypothyroid problem, everything else is gone.  How can I not be thrilled?  I've become a participant in society rather than a bystander.  Ugh, life, I'm lovin' it!!!

My Big Fat Greek Wedding comes out on video today and I'm off to the store to buy my copy.  I can't wait to see it over and over again.  This movie might move Monsters Inc. from my current fav!!! *lol*  Yeah, I know, I totally need to get a life.  Well, I might not have much of a life, but I'm happy!!!! Can't complain about that....   Oh well, hope everyone stays safe and warm and I'll be writing again soon. Until then 'ta ta

February 14, 2003 - (Friday) Happy Valentine's Day!!!
It's cold cold cold here today.  I really don't have much to today, I guess, because right now, sitting in front of keyboard, I lost my train of thought.  I did have a purpose to sign on and journal today, but for the life of me, I can't think of it right now.  Ugh, my mind, it's a horrible thing to lose!! *LOL* Did anyone see "Sweet Home Alabama"?  I did, and it's really cute.  Not a fabu movie, but cute, just the same.  Reese Witherspoon is just adorable and one of my favorite movies is Legally Blonde and this is cute too.  Hmmm, what was I gonna say??? Tappin' my toe, I can't remember...duh!!! I'll stall a bit to see if my thoughts return....I missed Survivor last night, but I Tivo'd it.  I got Tivo for Christmas and I'm lovin' it, I'm taping up a storm.  I never watched WIll and Grace at all and now I Tivo that all the time and am watching them all for the first time.  It's a fabulous machine.  If you have cable but never get to watch a movie because you're too lazy to set up the VCR, Tivo is the gadget for you.  It's really cool.  Who knows what I wanted to say, I'm sure it wasn't earth shattering...this is, of course, the most boring journal on the face of the planet....my blabbering will have to wait till I can remember what I wanted to say...Right now, I have a horrible headache, ugh.  :(

Until later or next time....have a very nice Valentine's Day, kiss and hug all those you love today :) xoxo

Finally, the snow has stopped.  3' later, we are digging out.  This is my deck, only mid-way in the afternoon of Monday.  We probably got 1/2 a foot more after this picture.  See the gas grill outside the screened porch, it's a ton of snow!!!



















Back to work today also.  Many of my co-workers have been out also in other states and we are all finally back in the swing of work.  I'm eating a little better and not exercising.  Ugh, I guess I can't ask for everything.  I wish I were better, but I'm not.  Maybe I'll be better in the springtime.  Oh well, nothing else new, I can't get over the quantity of snow this storm dropped...my only hope is that it's all over for the winter and we're sliding into a beautiful spring.  Ok all,
till next time...stay dry and warm :)
