How about Scarlett of the North? or NWScarlett?
OO
I know I was glad when I lost all my baby weight after they were born, but I remember so clearly how great it felt to be fat with child. Congratulations !!
A GTG will be great fun and I will enjoy meeting all my new Portlander friends..Kal and Mrs Kal and Marilyn said they might visit too, making me even more eager to get there already!!
Scarlett

Oops! Either geography or compass class for me soon! Northwest!


Thanks Beachbum!

Girlfriend's Brown Recluse bite is the most horrible thing I've ever seen. It looks like they are going to admit her into the hospital.

Rant and Rave: A challenging work week full of problems and wonderful appreciation from customers for sorting out problems.

Rave: Closure today on a very challenging personal situation.

Rave: Good friends providing morale support through very challenging personal situations.

Rave: Good friend telling me I've lost weight because my face "looks skinny".

Rave: Lightning bugs and a rock chorus of frogs greeting me home. Walking in the twilight with labs frolicking and swimming, horses complaining (wanting oaks) and lightning bugs all around.

Rave: Bonnie-not-so-broad's successes and Miz Scarlett's house selling so quickly.

Rant: The lows on life's roller coaster.

Rave, the week has ended and it is Friday! TGIF.
Rave: NW airlines working out flights to Rome for my SIL and daughter all spur of the moment and having business class seats next to each other available (with use of FF miles) on all segments of the flight.
Rant: This trip will not be a vacation but rather SIL taking care of things as both his mother and father are in different hospitals in Rome.
Rave: SIL's employer graciously telling him to take all the time he needs in Rome.
Rant: My suitcase gets to go to Rome and I don't!
Rave: I will have my dear 14 year old grandson for over two weeks.
Rant: I will be cooking constantly, LOL. Young men do like to eat.
Rave: Friends that give support and drop everything when you need assistance.

Happy weekend everyone.

OMG .... ya'll will re-name me yet, won't you? Just keep 'em coming, and when the next 25 lbs. are off, you can vote on my new name! You're all cracking me up here!

ElendilPickle, starrsville, everybody, again .......... thanks for your support, guys!

Bonne Babe sounds good to me! Wish me luck... I begin the "change of lifestyle" march Monday am. How did chronic health concerns find their way into my corner???

Thank god for the cemetary near my house that remains the resting spots of folks like Ghiradelli,MacArthur,Merritt and other monied folks round these parts(also designed by Frederick Olmstead of Central Park fame)..I have a decent place to walk and ponder the hereafter!

A big RAVE to Dan Fogler for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical! We loved the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!!!

An absolutely great ensemble cast and it will keep you laughing in your seat!!!
