  • Hi Kids...finally got around to reading you, those of you I still have on my fav list - I did a little paring down.  I know my comments were lame but I am lame, what do you expect? 

    Alrighty then...Mom had the stints put in this morning & she's fine.  We were all forbidden to make the trip back to PA for today, so, like the good children we are, we didn't go.  My Aunt Nancy passed away on Friday so we all went out on Sunday for the viewing and then right back home, so it was kind of a relief not to have to make the trip again last night.  It's 3 hrs one way. 

    I've been busy at work, reconciling all the payroll taxes and getting ready to run the W-2's.  This is my least favorite time of year, and this tax work contributes to that sorely.  Val, what is SAD? Seasonal something disorder?  No, I don't think I have that, I've just been sad, not to be confused with mad.    I'm ok now, I just needed a moment.

    For all of you who want my weight loss secrets, here ya go....Take one shot of Byetta* in the belly in the morning before eating.  Immediately feel sick to your stomach and like your sinuses suddenly became infected.  Force yourself to eat within an hour of the shot, as per instructions.  Try not to throw up.  Try to have some kind of appetite at lunch time.  Evening, take a shot of Byetta in the belly before eating dinner....lather, rinse, repeat.  Let's not even talk about the occasional bouts of sitting on the toilet...sheesh!  30 lbs gone as of today.

    Sorry, Sunny, Nate dumped the girl so no juicy stories to share with you at this time.

    No, Real, no one was unkind to me...It was just an observation.

    Last night I got an email, out of the blue, from a stranger, telling me of a 5th Annual Support the Troops Rally which he organizes...he asked if I would like to speak at this years in April.  It's sponsored by a bunch of Harley dealerships...last year there were over 5000 people and it's held at Cleveland Public Square.  How cool is that?  He wants me to speak and then at the end they are going to read the names of fallen Heroes from Ohio and he wants me to read some of the names.  I've never spoke in public before so I hope I don't screw up *L*  What an honor though...wow.

    Ok, I gotta go, it's getting late & I definately need my beauty rest. 

    You kids have a nice night ~ You know I will. 

     

    *Byetta is an injectable diabetes med - not insulin - but works with the oral med's.

  • Speaking in public isn't so bad if you have something to prop yourself up on so no one sees you shake. lol  I use to do it all the time infront of some very large crowds.  Just be sure you have everything written out on something that you can easily look down on and find your place and have it memorized enough that you can look out over the crowd...no you don't have to actually look AT anyone just don't look down at your notes any more than you have to.  Keep it simple and within whatever time limits you are given or you'll lose your listeners.

    You will have to tell me about your shots etc. and where you get them all that stuff.  Just do it in an e-mail if you want to.  I can't imagine me doing the shots but I'm getting desperate.

    So glad you are feeling better and posting again.  Missed you much!

  • I know that I am a little slow on the uptake and all but what the heck is Byetta?

  • I have MISSED you.!  Glad you're back.  I have never considered your comments "lame".

    Indeed that is an honor to be able to speak in support of those who are fighting for a cause and doing a DARN GOOD JOB!!!  They need all the support that they can get and you are a good person to be selected for the job.  I don't know of many people who are comfortable with speaking in public but ...they are there to hear what you have to say.  I know you will say it well!

    What is byetta?

    Take care and ...behave.

  • Glad your mother is doing well. Sorry to hear about your Aunt Nancy.

    Those shots sound nasty. You won't be seeing that fad diet. I hope the shots are working for you.

    That is cool. At least you have plenty of time to get ready. Don't be nervous.

    RYN: I'm going to have to hide food from Wilderson now, if I want anything to last.

  • How exciting!!! You will be fab. What a great honor!!

    As for the diet tips... ugh... think I will stay pudgy.... Grandma's are supposed to be pudgy right???

    Love ya,

  • Congrats on being asked to speak!  SAD is Seasonal Affected Disorder, or something like that.  It has to do with not getting enough sunlight in these dark midwestern days.
