No fear, Sandy, AMN won't blow the whistle at you unless you really need it.

Well, dear Judy, I imagine that you are deeply engaged in preparation and anticipation of your outing this evening. First, yes, you can so use the scooter in the snow, just be mindful of getting the motor wet. Second, have a marvelous time rubbing elbows.

*getting out voodoo Judy doll*

Curse on you, MiniJudy! If a bad choice is made, if discipline and iron will fail, if a bad temptation goes unresisted at the hors d'oeuvres buffet, may you be cursed quickly with a huge, humiliating blob of gooey, colorful food right down the front of your finery!

*frantically poking dolly all over chest and belly*

Muaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!



Oy, my work is so exhausting.

So
Happy
It's
Thursday

uh, thanks for the send off cindy....i think

weight stable this am
i'm going to walk

and i might go back to bed real quick
all this prep and i'm still uncertain of what i'm going to wear, oy vay!
can't do that. all the trying on is tiring.

i'm trying to use mapquest to find another way to the mansion so i don't have to get on I-25. can you work your magic. the cross st is E. 8th ave & logan.

if not i'll find it.
ok, off to nappy time

Jim is doing fairly well. He has some nasty pain in his shoulder but we plan to see the pain clinic when we get back from Mom's surgery. He still has ecoli in his bladder but at this point we are thinking it is a natural occurance since he has a urostomy. No symptoms, no treatment. His doctor is sending me off with cipro and augmentin just in case while we are gone. Urology is planning a huge meeting of the minds and will discusss what to do with Jim's bladder so we'll find out more once we get back in town.

Now, about Cindy. I don't mind because I think I need a whistle in my ear loud and annoying. I don't know what is worse, quitting smoking or gaining weight. I haven't quit yet but Jim and I are down to 5 or less a day. That is amazing for us.

Well, whistle away Cin! I need a recording of someone yelling at me like a drill sargent. "GET UP OFF THAT BUTT AND GIVE ME 50!" Yeah, something like that.

Interesting thread. Glad to see so many still around.

I'm down 2lbs on doctor's scales after two weeks, so I'm happy.

Donna

Oops, sorry Judy, I guess I didn't catch this in time. By now, you've had a marvelous time and have met many eligible bachelor-type dignitaries, I'm sure.

Thanks, Donna, and good for you. Two down and whatever it takes.

i don't even know how i'm still awake as i'm dead tired.

i almost didn't think i'd make it. rush hr traffic was sooo bad. it took me 50" to make a drive of what would have been 5". i got there an hr late. but evidently the 1st hr people mingled and ate.

the mansion was absolutely gorgeous. old old furniture and very ornate pieces. lots of asian influences, chinese figures and jade pieces. lots of chairs were tapestry. everything old. so beautiful.

i ended up wearing black velvet pants and black patent shoes. i wore a pink floral sweater with some beading. silver pink drop earrings, a silver bead bracelet and a pink scarab watch.

my brother was very gracious. he introduced me to the Governor (Ritter) and he shook my hand. Bart said that if it wasn't for me he never would have written the book and the Governor shook my hand harder. wow. i'm really hob nobbing with the elite of Denver.

i didn't eat anything bad. well, only a 1" x 1" piece of brownie. just a taste.

my brother also spent the day at the Colorado legislature and spoke to the body about end of life issues and his book. wish i could have been there.

i'm so proud of him. my parents would be too. my mom's probably in heaven crying tears of joy.

well, to bed. see ya's tomorrow.

Good girl, dear Judy!

*putting MiniJudy away*

You should be proud of Bart, you should also be proud of yourself for helping him in this crusade. It's every small effort united that can move mountains.

I'm proud of you both!

thanks cin, love your avatar BTW. but you should be looking up at us.
give us that evil eye. or better yet, put the whistle up to your mouth

weight stable
didn't walk yet. got up and went grocery shopping at 0930.
i'm exhausted. even from yesterday.
nap time.

i'll check in later.
ps...i see the scale wants to go down. crossing my fingers and closing my mouth.

*quietly entering thread*

*dropping to knees & grabbing Judy~wudy's Skinny Butt leg and begging forgiveness*

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
A thousand pardons Judy~ I didn't mean to leave you; I was neglectful of my duties here.
I should have checked on you and I missed the "dinner"!!!

I am so proud of you. You still rock!

*grabbling pompons back from Twiff* Gimme those and drop back into the ranks of private.

DM IS IN THE BLDG!!!!

It's good to be back where I belong.

Keep up the great work everyone. Go team!!

*changing head on Judy's mini doll to AMN's.*

This darning needle should do the trick! Now.... where to PUT it??

not to worry DM. i know you were on vacation and having the bestest time ever.

i crashed after the grocery shopping this am.
my legs are poor but recovering tonite.

i just opened my blinds and it's snowing!
i can't wait for spring.
first i wanted to wear my winter clothes and now i'm ready for it to be over.

eating under control and did end up walking. cut it short by a few minutes but did walk.
