Good morning

Stopping in to say hi. Have so much going on I'm not around much on here. A quick check of the journals tells me everyone sounds like they're doing pretty well.

Hubby and I made a last minute decision to go to Seattle for our anniversary, so Saturday morning, we headed up that way, dropped son off at brother's, then went on in to Seattle. Visited the Pike's Place Fish Market, then went on to the Space Needle. Although it was pretty cool to be 520 feet up in the air looking out over the city, not sure it was really worth the $16 per person... We contemplated eating at the restaurant there, Sky City, but with their MINIMUM $35 per person rule, we decided not to. Went back into Tacoma (where my mom, brother and sister live), checked into our hotel, then had Mexican for dinner-- hubby likes his margaritas, and we hit happy hour, so that was nice. Had my sister join us for about an hour which was really fun. Hubby and I went back for a nice private night at the hotel :)

Tried to get hold of BT yesterday with hopes of getting together since I was so close, but no such luck. Someday my old friend and I will really reconnect....

Not doing well still on healthy eating. Just cannot seem to get my mind wrapped around it again. I don't know what it is... new position, upcoming move, relationship going well.... just not into it. Hubby is making a trip to his brothers house in Texas this weekend to see bro and dad, but when he gets back, I'm saying "That's it!" He told me yesterday that he would like to lose 50 pounds... "Do you think I can do it by Christmas?" he asked me--- That's a lot to lose in 3 months-- I don't know. For sure, it will be easier for me to get back on track if he is, too.

Kids are doing great. Youngest daughter asked me yesterday if I would take her shopping today for a homecoming dress. I wasn't sure if she would ever be interested in dances and stuff, so I'm pretty excited to take her out and see what we can find.

Hope all is well in FS land. I feel as though I've really lost touch. Keep in touch!

Good Morning FS buddies!!

17 years!!! It hasn't been an easy road, but today my hubby and I celebrate 17 years together! You all know that we had a rough summer, but things are good now, and I am happy to be saying that we have made it this far, with high hopes to triple that length of time, if not more!!

I am sitting here this morning trying to come up with ideas of something we can do to celebrate this weekend. Schedules have been so crazy that I didn't plan anything in advance, but turns out that I have the weekend off, so now I'd like to go somewhere, but not drive too much...

So I'm back home and starting to really work hard on my transition, which will officially take place next Tuesday. I'll be working in my stores today and tomorrow since I'm in town, but not officially as the 'boss' until then. All of my managers found out yesterday, so I should be able to get a feel in the next couple of days on how it all went over. All of my peers are giving me nothing but support and congratulations, telling me that I will do great. I know that's supposed to put me at ease, but it almost adds pressure, knowing that so many think that I'll be fine-- what if it doesn't work out for some reason?... I think I'll be okay, too, but there's always that possibility....

Daughter goes for her first meeting about the modeling thing tomorrow. It looks like what it is is a fashion show at the school during a lunch break possibly. I'm hoping that maybe it could turn into more from that. She is home sick today, so hopefully she's feeling better by tomorrow to go to the meeting!

Well, that's about it for now. Hope you all have a good Thursday and weekend if I don't talk to you before then!

Have a SUPER FANTASTIC day!!

Good morning FS buddies!!

Hey guys...

Just wanted to stop in and say hi. Heading in to my last day here in Nevada-- get to go home tonight!! I'm so ready! I'm really starting to miss them sooo much when I'm gone. The kids are busy and I'm missing out on things....

My son went to his first dance on Saturday. Hubby said he was going to walk him in, but when they got there, a bunch of kids were standing at the door who turned out to be my sons friends. Son wouldn't have minded, but hubby said he let him walk in on his own... about half way to the door, a bunch of girls came running out yelling his name, excited to see him.... I missed that :(

My youngest daughter told me last night that she got chosen through something that was going on at school to be a model for Torrid plus size clothing! I don't know too much about the whole thing yet, but she sounds excited.

I've seen my family (dad, brother, step mom and step brother) pretty much every day that I've been here. It's been nice, but not like being home with MY family...

Not doing good with food and exercise... maybe it's just from not really wanting to be here... not making good choices at all. I'll see if I can get it together once I get home...

All right--- gotta go. Have a SUPER FANTASTIC day everyone!

I give up.. I'm tired and I keep hitting the wrong button... I will post tomorrow. I got to see my Dad today, and my brother that I haven't seen in probably 15 years. That was a good b-day present, especially after the cake and cards that my sister in law and family did for me last night. Was really a good day!
