Hi all!

[Susana]

Hola! Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Anyone have plans? I don't have any; this is a small town with two huge universities...I don't do Cinco de Mayo!

Drew, sorry things didn't work out as you had hoped. You tried everything you could, though. I hope this is the bottom and you can get things back on track for yourself now.

Bridget, any good stories for us from the trip? I know you must be exhausted!

Lisa, congrats on getting your CWP.

I wish our long lost sisters would check in.

[BigBravesGirl]

Welcome Home Bridget!

Hi Susan. Thanks for the congrats.

I wish everyone would check in, too.

[WintersTale]

Lisa - congrats!

Susan - I'm sure you all saw the Miley story break last week if you were near a television at all - it was a VERY hectic week at WDW and we worked our butts off. If it's any indication, I was in DW for 10 days and went on ONE ride the ENTIRE time. It was pretty much non-stop until Saturday - we finally had some free time and ran over to Animal Kingdom to jump on Everest, then shot over to Epcot for a Margarita from the stand in Mexico. The rest of the trip was ALL DISNEY CHANNEL GAMES ALL THE TIME. It was fun some of the time, stressy and crazy most of the time - It is SO GOOD to be home! I rode my horse yesterday, had a terrific early dinner with Brian and fell asleep at 7:30

I haven't really had a chance to read through all the posts and I might not -- read the last page and saw everything Drew is going through - Drew - I really hope this ends up working out for you, hon. I cannot imagine what you must be going through . Just know that we all love you and we're here for you.

Mary, how was Candace's shower this weekend?

[Susana]

Bridget, oh yes, you would have had to have been under a rock not to hear the Cyrus story. I was going to ask you how that went over at home base. Hopefully it didn't cause too much trouble for you guys while you were out of the office. When do you leave for New York? I found out last week a co-worker and I are headed to Memphis for a few days in two weeks. Beale Street, blues and BBQ here we come!

But I would be just as happy (or happier) with a Margarita from the stand in Mexico and a ride on Everest.

Susan - the Miley thing is what it is -- it just created some broo-ha-ha because she was actually appearing at the event and we had to cancel an international press conference she was supposed to have (for obvious reasons since the press would probably not be asking questions about anything BUT the Vanity Fair shoot) and security was CRAZY on our floor since she and the Jonas Brothers were down the hall. We got to know the Disney security team really well - we were bringing them chocolates, providing chairs from our hotel rooms, etc.

[Susana]

LOL, Bridget! Can I tell you how often I say "it is what it is" at work? One of my coworkers has ADHD to the max (wayyyyyy worse than me) and he's always having a heart attack about something or other and I've said that to him countless times. Now he will be in the middle of a nervous breakdown and look at my face and say "I know, I know, it is what it is".

(((poor Miley))) (((poor Billy Ray)))

I've told you what my wicked sister used to call my ex right after we separated, haven't I?

[Drew]

I GET TO KEEP MY HOUSE!!!

Ok ok . . so they are saying that an hour was a BIT close to cut it!! LOL I STOPPED THE SALE BABY!!! WOOHOOO!!! Yesterday afternoon I went and filed chapter 13 at my new lawyers office. They filed it this morning at 8:00 am and I got my case number at 9:00. They called the attorney in Memphis as did I. They told me they had received the fax and file number and had informed the attorney in Knoxville NOT TO SELL!! I called to confirm the same thing and all is good!! WHEW!! It would have happened in 14 minutes if I hadn't filed bankruptcy. I really didn't want to file but it was my only option left. The one nice thing is now I can pay off all these other bills too and get them off my back! I talked to my oldest sister and she said good now I don’t have to figure out how to tell my boys that you won’t be living in that house anymore!! I never even thought about that. Anyway . . .

Bridget - I thought of you immediately when I saw the news on her!! Glad to have you back!!

Lisa - As you can tell I have been busy!! I didn't even realize it was a new month!!

Susan - I LOL @ "I know, I know, it is what it is".

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers!! I really appreciate all of you!!

Just came in to say hello!!

Drew, I'm happy for ya!

Hi everyone!

[WintersTale]

GREAT news Drew!!!!

Cindy!! What's going on with you? Everything okay??

[Susana]

Wow, Drew, that was truly a last minute rescue.

Yes, Cindy, spill! What's up with you and the kids these days?

[BigBravesGirl]

Hi everyone!

Cindy, great to see you! Please do more than POP in!!! Update us!

Hi Bridget and Susan!

Where's everyone else??

I'm feeling kind of lousy today. I'm not sure if it's allergies, sinus or cold, but I feel lousy. Wish I could take the day off.

[WintersTale]

Sorry you're not feeling well, Lisa It's probably allergies - I think it's bad EVERYWHERE now - I know it's bad here....

[Susana]

Ugh, TOM arrived today and I've eaten just about every low carb thing I can get my hands on, including several THICK slices of honey baked ham and turkey (both filled with sugar) with mayo and honey mustard (also filled with sugar).

Lisa, I hope you are feeling better. Allergies make me feel icky, too. Kind of light headed/fuzzy headed, achy and headachy.

Bridget, have you heard from Marcelle? Where is that girl?

[BigBravesGirl]

Happy Almost Friday!

Susan, oh the joys of TOM.

Bridget, are you snowed under with work now that you're back?

Yeah, where's Marcelle? And everyone else????

[Susana]

Happy Almost Friday!

Today is my Friday but I can't enjoy it because I have a meeting with the stupid people from 3 - 5 this afternoon. Once that's over it's party time!

Lisa, oh yes, once a month it absolutely sucks bricks being a girl. I brought in my low carb yogurt smoothie this morning and sucked it down in a matter of minutes (maybe seconds ). Then I sat here STARVING for an hour then gave up, went to the store and stocked up on low carb goodies to eat throughout the day. I just can't help it, I could eat a horse right now! But even after eating everything in sight yesterday (low carb but a lot of it and not exactly good things) I was down half a pound this morning.

[LOVE LIFE]

HERE I AM FROM UNDER THE ROCK!!!
THEY DON'T HAVE TV'S UNDER THE ROCK ....WHAT HAPPENED TO MILY C. ?? YEAP NO TIME TO EVEN WATCH TV I'M TELLING YOU. I GO TO WORK THEN I GO TO WORK THEN HOME THEN SLEEP. BUT LOVING THE TRAINING!!

ok Drew, WONDERFUL NEWS!!! WHAT A RELIEF.

Bridget: YIKES you had a time didn't you.! PHEW I thought I was tired. SO GLAD YOUR HOME. Well at least for a short time. Miss you!! Oh your babies must of missed you so much!! How's your mom honey?

Lisa, I hope your feeling better, yeah my allergies have been horrible.

Cindy so nice to see you here. I'm not the only MIA one. How are you?

Susan, Cinco De Drunk nite, I worked then on the way home I was like why is there so many crazy drivers? then I remembered it was stay off the street night.

Mary, How are you doing??

No much going on really work work work. I have 30 clients and booked everday I'm working. Still no word on the Sup job. The bad thing is they offer NO sick days or Vacation days or Holiday pay. So your not there you get no cash. There is new owners now so things are going to change I'm sure. But for now I'LL STICK TO THE DAY JOB. They day thing hasn't been so bad because of the balance of at the gym.
Greg has to get surgery now for the heart problem. He's been off of caffeine for almost a month & a half. and isn't drinking really at all. The dr. told him only 2 drinks MAX in a day. So he only drinks a couple of beers on the weekend. Me too, not really drinking but a glass of wine I think 2 weeks ago.
Too tired. LOL.
I didn't read the end of Aprils post yet.

BIG HUGS TO YOU ALL!!

P.S. GREG AND I ARE GOING TO START SHOPPING FOR WEDDING RINGS. SO HE CAN GET AN IDEA WHAT I LIKE. SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED.

T.G.I.F.

[Drew]

Happy Friday!

Cindy – So good to see you!! How have you been? I need an update!!

Lisa – I hope you are feeling better today. ((HUGS))

Susan – I hate when I can’t seem to fill up the bottomless pit (stomach) around tom. I hope you enjoy your day off!!

Bridget – Are things settling down now that you are back??

Marcelle – Wow you are one busy girl!!! Prayers sent up for Greg!! Please let us know how things go! WOOHOOO wedding rings!!! YEAH!!!

Well my new bf will get to meet the family this weekend. (I have met both his parents and have actually spent a bit of time with his mom.) He has met ‘that’ sister already. He passed the test with flying colors too. LOL He wants to avoid her like the plague!! (I probably get too much enjoyment out of that LOL)
Anyway. . . the reason he will meet my family is because my sister Denise is coming down from MN for Mother's Day! I haven't seen most of my family since this house junk has gone on. (Should be interesting.)
Him and I haven’t spent more than a few hours apart besides work since he got back. He is going back to Florida to work next week. This time Ft. Lauderdale is the destination!! I swear if there is any way for me to make it work I will. I would have to leave after work and only stay a day but . . . man I wanna go. Now that I think about gas prices it's probably way out of the question. It’s even his birthday next Thursday. I really wanted to spend time with him that day. Did I tell you he will just be turning 29 next week?? 6 years younger than me. I like it. BTW his name is Harley. (Yes his given name.)

[Susana]

Marcelle, what kind of surgery is Greg having? Definitely sending good thoughts over for him to have a successful surgery and quick recovery. AWESOME news on the rings!

Lisa, TGIF right back atcha! I am so happy not to be a work today. I have been in such a funk the last few days. I feel better today but can feel it hovering right around the edges.

Drew, I hope the meeting with the family goes well. For me that's a huge factor on whether I continue seeing someone. My family, as annoying as they can be, are good judges of character and if they don't like someone I'm seeing it truly puts a damper on it for me. They actually didn't like my husband while we were dating (he was so immature, even at 21, but I didn't see it) but never said anything to me...I sure wish they would have! Don't know if I would have listened back then because I was so young and in luuuuv, but they sure were right. Anyway...I hope it is a great gathering and they don't get on you about the house business again.

[LOVE LIFE]

Susan,
Greg has to have this procedure done where they go up threw the groin up to the heart and (ok my words) blast the area where the valves are over charging. That's all I remembered so he's getting that done we hope after memorial weekend.

Thanks Lisa & Susan & Drew for the prayers for GREG he's scared. And it's been a bit stressful even though they say it's a common thing now. Not common for my honey.

Drew, Nice name Harley. well big prayers for the Family meeting. He travels a lot. Can't wait to hear about it on Monday.

On the ring thing 'IT'S JUST AT THE STAGE OF SHOPPING TO SEE WHAT I LIKE, no down on the knee yet. But for sure in the year 2009.
It's so cute he has put us on the list for the Motion Picture Retirement home in Calabasas there is a waiting list. But he said first in 6-7 years were leaving for a tropic island to live until were drooling and no idea who eachother are. LOL. then back to CA. to "THE HOME".

Morning/Afternoon Mary, Carries, Bridget, Cindy. I swear I'm forgetting some people. My mind has gone I'm not kidding. I can't remember doodoo anymore.

I am now going to the archives to catch up on things. Haven't read it throughly for a while. just drive by posts and skimming. xoxooxo

[Drew]

I hadn't updated these since I got to 60 lbs losts so I took a picture after lunch.
