Hi All!

WEll, Pam, I could sure relate to you today...cramps and feeling like YUCK! Worst I've experienced and probably 1/4 of what you put up with each month!

I think it might have something to do with me messing up my BC pills last month...paying for it now!

Could be worse, this could be New Year's Eve! I have faith I'll be all better tomorrow.

H and I had a blast shopping...God she is SO much fun! We shared a dressing room when we could and showed each other where the majority of the 20+ pounds we gained this year has wound up. We were laughing so freakin' hard I'm sure they were ready to call security on us.

There is some precedence here as in Aug of '02 security WAS called on us in the mall bathroom when I was adhering a fake tatoo to her lower back in the handicapped stall!


I found some awesome jewellery (40% off!). It matches the tank and black blouse I'm wearing for New Year's eve. I've been wearing the same 2 or 3 sets of earrings and two necklaces forever, so this was a lot of fun. Even got a matching bracelet.

Before we left, CJ said to me...don't let H talk you into buying stuff (she's a bit of a free spirit with her credit card )...but I am NOT a child!

So in Suzy Sheer she tried on this nice simple red top, but it rode too high on the waist for her (she's 5' 8") so I tried it on...it's great! Even better it cost me $2.50!!!

So she bugged Wayne when we got home, telling him I bought something for $250!

D and H stayed and visited. D had just had a doctor's visit to get some quit smoking tips...he has bad lungs and both of them smoke...H not so much.

D also sees that his drinking has gotten out of hand, so that's the next goal for the new year. H found herself drinking more out of defeat or just to join him, so she's going to cut back too.

I said to her that I'm pretty sure that SOME of our 20+ pounds is due to alcohol (especially the creamy drinks we like ), so she slapped first one, and then the other of her thighs and said..."Meet Panama and Jack" so I slapped the old back fat and said "Meet Baha and Rosa!".

We both want to get in shape this year, but we also just love ourselves and eachother just as we are!

WEll that's about it from here for now.

Later!

Shiny
