Well, Lovlies, despite all my best efforts at dragging my feet and living in a state of denial, the day has come.  The half-century mark.  The Big Five-OH.  [:0]  How could this have happened to such a nice, young woman?  Sigh....  [V]

I saw a headline the other day that said, "Sixty Is The New Forty-Five."  Does that mean I'm really only 35?  Sure sounds better.  []

Well, have to scoot.  Just 'cause I'm old doesn't mean I don't still PAR-TAE!!!  [][}:)][]  You all have a fantastic holiday, hear!

Smoochies!! [:X]

Way to go, Carolyn!!  I am sooooooo jealous!  [:p]  I've been REALLY good and I've GAINED 2 pounds.  [!]  This always happens shortly after I start a diet.  Just my body's way of telling me it's NOT HAPPY.  Nothing to do but just keep pluging...

MONDAY MORNING WEIGH-IN

Carolyn = 22 lbs
Jody = 3.5 lbs  (sigh...)

Total = 25.5 lbs

Diana, glad to hear that you're not MIA.  Did you get my e-mail?  Hope you're not mad at me.  []

Thanks one and all for the Birthday Wishes!!  They really mean a lot!  I had a great day.  Went "antique-ing" with hubby.  (Found a great bedroom suit for ONLY(?) $13,000.  [:0]  Must have had gold bars hidden in it somewhere.  [])  Then spent the afternoon with my aunt & uncle, who took us out for Italian.  []  Thanks to my little zetas, didn't eat hardly anything, brought it all home to take for lunches.  [^]

Jody

[Carolyn]

Jody - Only???  My in-laws moved back to Michigan from Florida and gave us their antique bedroom suite.  When they got to Michigan, they went antique-ing.  They found the exact same bedroom suit for $20,000.  I told her it was mine now, she wasn't gettin it back.  I love it.  Congrats on your find.

Carolyn

[Jody]

Carolyn - GOOD JOB!!!    You hang onto that furniture.  There was no way I could afford $13k for a bedroom suit (particularly since I didn't need one,) and you got it FREE!  How cool is that?  []  My mom went into a "state" when my grandparents passed away, and got rid of EVERYTHING at an auction.  [}:)]  (I was living far away at the time, so I didn't get a chance to stop her.)  All I have of the family furniture is a folding rocker that came across country from North Carolina to Texas on the side of a covered wagon.  It looks so tiny and fragile, I'm afraid to let anyone sit in it (although my grandmother rocked me in it, so I guess it's sturdier than it looks.)  Now my mom has made a 180 degree switch and hoards anything my grandmother ever touched.  [?][?][?]  At the moment, she's giving us all a nervous breakdown over four ugly dishes my grandmother made during her "ceramic" period.  [xx(]  Go figure.

[Carolyn]

Hi Jody - Just remember nothing's free.  I had to put up with my mother in law for 20 years.  LOL.  Just kidding.  I love the old b.. erm beautiful woman.

Carolyn

[Jody]

Let's see...  $20,000 bedroom suite, 20 years.  That adds up to........ Carolyn being a saint!  []  Glad that you're fond of your MIL.  I love mine, too.  Particularly from a distance!!  [}:)][]
