Have a fabulous day everybody!

Hi sweetie, I have asked if people have heard from you every now and then and have missed you, and of course worried a bit, but I did figure school and work were keeping you busy. GLAD YOU ARE VISITING!

I have not been very good since I last "saw" you but doing well the last couple weeks, I've lost like 3 1/2 lb in 2 weeks, I guess that is ok. I want to do better tho.

My son just finished basic training in the army and is doing advanced training in GA for 9 mos. He says I will see him at Christmas. LONG TIME ... sigh... :(

Work is fine, got a promotion and more $ and hours, not sure I like working more hours tho (time really IS money..>)

love to ya

Sarah--so good to hear from you again! I tried pm-ing you, but your mail box was full...I guess you have lots of friends ;).

Sounds like school is going great. Do you graduate next spring? I've got to say, I don't miss school at all. I keep in touch with a lot of my classmates and get together fairly frequently, and I love learning, but NOPE, don't miss school at all, LOL. You're doing so well, though. Great work on the IV's. I'll have to get some pointers from you . . . :)

Hi Hiker!!! So sorry about that - I hadn't cleared it out either. Oops. My bad totally, sorry. Thanks so much for thinking of me though, I appreciate it!!! :) I'll try to behave and not disappear any more, or at least warn everybody if I do. You never know with life as chaotic as it is, but I promise to try. ;)

I will graduate August of 2008, so it's a long way away, but I am working toward it. It's less than a year now, so that's a big yeay for us! Thanks - I doubt you would want IV pointers from me, I still feel like an IV idiot, but apparently I am getting the basic idea, LOL! I stopped by the college yesterday to do practice on changing a central line dressing and the teacher asked me if I wanted to check-off when I walked in the door. I told her I hadn't practiced yet and she said, well try it anyway, you can always do it again later if you need to practice. Ok, I thought, she's right, so I gave it a shot and, you know what, I passed - WooHoo!!! One more thing down, whew!

Well, I almost didn't walk yesterday, it was cold and I was feeling sluggish, but luckily my friend stopped by the house and dragged me out of it, so I did get in my 30 minutes and felt much better for it. :)

Have a great day y'all!!!

I am just so sick of buying plus size clothing that is made for 6' tall women, considering I'm less than 5'.
