This sucks big time...still no change ;-(. It makes me wonder why I keep
torturing myself with my daily hometrainer sessions. If I don't lose the

I saw your post entitled "Duckin~~~" and I wanted to see how you were doing.
I hope everything is going more smoothly and you're feeling back to your old
self.  You just hang on to that little bundle and remember we call care and

Well, things are getting interesting in the moving dept.  I sent out resumes
to various jobs in Vermont starting about 1.5 weeks ago.  No calls all last

I am having such a difficult time staying on a schedule!  I need to change that

about ya and I hope you're feeling better!!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack! We had an awesome vacation despite hurricanes on either
end of the trip! I have a nice tan and also an itchy sun rash to go along
with it! We hurried home early this morning to avoid crossing paths with
Charley!

Today I'm in a slump. A big one.
I've got to get my house clean by Thursday, but today I just can't lift a

Last night Allan and I had to spend the night chasing a bat out of the

Big School. He had been looking forward to it, in his own way, but
this morning he found out that actually having to stay in the new, big

the next 2 summers! I am SO happy!!! I made a nice amount of money but most
importantly, I HAD FUN! I really liked doing it and I didn't dread going to
work. It was a bit difficult because the girls were ...

I'm seriously considering locking myself in a padded room. Not because I'm
crazy (well, I know that's debatable but onwards...) but because I keep
getting hurt.
I just had to pick myself up off the bathroom floor after going pee because
