This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7 and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives.

Good morning everyone. I'm waiting for the coffee to kick in before I get ready and head to day one of my two day staff retreat. Ugh. It is going to be hard to participate meaningfully when I have so much "real" work to do! Oh well - I have no choice. I'm hanging on by my fingernails right now but so far have avoided working on weekends.
This weekend we are heading down to my parents to see the daffodils and visit with DNeph and family. My great niece is growing up so fast! I hope there I'll be a good showing of flowers for them but the hot weather we've been having isn't good for them. Regardless it will be a nice short diversion.
How can it be March already? I have so much to do to reclaim the shape I was in last summer. It's frustrating but I start out every day vowing to do better! At least I seem to have halted my slide, but geez I need to make at least some incremental progress. Ive tracked this morning. A start, right?
Time is up. Gotta run. Have a great day everyone!

Hooray for a Susan-sighting! We have missed you!
I feel so out of touch with Colleen as well. I am rarely on FB these days so I am not sure what her status is, other than boxed up. Has she sold her house? Did the transfer go through?
It's a scramble-y day. Best get going.

Quick hello to all. Susan, I completely relate to how you must be feeling being stuck in your staff retreat and all that work just sitting there. I've got an auditor coming by today and I just don't have time to deal with her. She's the type who always screams "the sky is falling" and "you didn't do anything right, we're going to write you up", but then everything ends up be a non-issue. GRRRR!
Oh and yesterday I got in only to find out IT had updated some computers in the county, and it messed up some of our previously installed updates. So I didn't have access to email or any other Microsoft applications. Do you know how much us accountants rely on Excel spreadsheets!!?? That's 3 hours of my work life I'll never get back.
T, I'm so far behind on everyone's news these days! I do seem to get on FB in the evenings from my tablet but not here. I think this is maybe moving weekend for Colleen? Maybe I'm a week behind (or ahead)...they are all blurring together for me these days.
I'd better get some of these paper piles moved around and sorted. Wishing you all a fabulous day!!

Aloha, Long and Lovelies!!!
How I do not miss dealing with auditors.....I swear they look sooooo happy when they find the one instance where things went wrong. Used to drive me nuts.....
I'm going to go get my passport updated today with my married name, which requires a new photo. Hopefully this one will turn out better than the last one - I was so stressed and completely looked like it!!!!!
I believe Colleen has the house up for sale, but I haven't seen a moving date. Not sure when that is. And Sam went to WW with her. Hopefully that sticks.
Frieda, I'm glad you're planning on reaching out to friends when going out. That will definitely lend some peace of mind. I think one week of yoga would be lovely.
Susan, enjoy that retreat if you can, anyway. I hope you are surprised!!
T, I hope the scramble gets straightened out. Are you counting the minutes to Spring Break?
Andrea, if I didn't have my microsoft applications, I would be SOL!! Hopefully today will be better.
Shari, how did the lessons go?
Angela, what have you been up to? I feel out of touch....
I too miss Nancy. I hope she comes back soon.
Alrighty, gotta go do some testing. Hugs to all!!!

Quick post. (aren't they all?)
Susan, I think that halting the slide is great work!! Keep making those good choices and you will get back on track in no time. How about when you can breathe after your audit we put together a mini contest? I read somewhere that there are only 12 weeks until summer. By the time of the audit, there will be 10 weeks. Something to think about. Maybe resurrecting TCC for those weeks.
Andrea, sorry about the computer snafu. Hope you get caught up soon!
T: you are so busy these days. I miss your longer chats!
Hello to Anne! How are things in your world?
Mcat: It's so nice to see you posting regularly. Let us know how mom and dad are. You leave today or tomorrow?
I'm struggling a bit on my nervous energy. I'm going to be out of weeklies soon and I haven't hit the weekend yet. I know I always have my fit points, but I never use any of those. Speaking of, my TM time didn't happen (I cleaned a BR instead) and I'll do that after school later.
Have a good one everyone!

Frieda I agree it is missing something when T doesn't start the board with a clever or cherry thought.
I got a bunch of steps walking to the mailbox to mail you a little something. Then I read your post and wished I could have dropped in and handed it to you.
What an idea to imagine an accountant without a reliable computer. I would be ready to tear my hair.
I am wondering about Susan and her stopping the happy relaxation after such a spectacular run of losing. I miss our fitbit challenges. Not only did I get my steps more regularly but I knew who I could give a long distance Pat on the back that things must be clicking and those who might need a good thought because the struggle was keeping them from being able to spend time on themselves. I'm sure there were a few extraneous prayers when it was just low battery I was judging by.
I have been impressed with my Wewa leader. My progress. And the program. So I bought some stock in the company. (Though I should have had quite a share as long as I have been supporting it) it did a very nice jump yesterday right after I bought. DH was emphatically insisting I sell. I didn't.
My big beautiful rooster attacked my 2 year old granddaughter as I started to walk away this morning. He has 2 inch talons. I had hoped he would be different. I put an ad on the local swap board for a chicken dinner. No takers. He won't be here tomorrow.
My d son in law has dogs. Everyone they think of having a baby they get a dog. The three year old one today had to go to the vet and had a bowel obstruction. The DD left the decision up to the DH if they'd do surgery. She didn't know what he chose, but said she figured the surgery was happening as we spoke. I could only think "there goes the new deck" I questioned if Dh could do the surgery here. We have done a C-section on a cat with 8 babies and a hernia repair on a young horse. But then I thought I don't know if he still has his instruments yet. His patients were our own and sort of a last chance for them .
So much for chatting away. I'm laying between my two charges enforcing silence that leads to naps. Today they were?before me.
Nancy...it's Thursday.

Went to check my pedometer to see how many steps I had, and it wasn't there. $#$%%$%! Just got home from kick in the butt ww mtg and found it sitting on my bed waiting for me. Whewwww! Grumbling cuz I had made sure to get more steps in and now I don't know how far I walked today. Found out last night my cousin's wife was in a T-bone accident, not her fault at all, and was hit passenger side of car. Ended up with 6 broken ribs, broken nose and bumps & bruises. She was in the hospital and is now back at home. Called DMom this morning while she was trying to eat bfast. Kept call much shorter as I know she like her hot food hot and her cold food cold.  I've left the house each day this week so tomorrow I am staying home. Taking mass transit makes it much more difficult to get around. Hugs~ martha |
