Falismaria- sorry, I don't have a thing - no new messages. :(

Okay, it is 8:17 am and I am pacing and stalking the front door for the UPS boy. He doesn't usually show until like 9 or 10 BUT he COULD come early. I had ALL shakes yesterday and was crawling he walls. It wasn't like I was hungry or anything, I just needed something to sink my teeth into.

Oh the humanity!!!!!!!!!! It is official, I WILL CRY if that box isn't here today. Cross your fingers and PRAY!

Gwenski, breathe deep! You will be okay, I swear! Why not be creative, like freeze a pudding or oatmeal or something bizarre! It could turn out okay, and more importantly, will give you something to do besides freaking out! :-) You've got me all paranoid now, and I am purposely not eating my bars everyday, because I don't want to get all dependent on them! haha

Hmm, this is odd, but seriously, what if you added not as much water to the oatmeal, so it's clumpy and really really thick, and then laid it out on tinfoil, and then froze it? Or baked it? I am not a cook (obviously!), so for all you wonderful chefs laughing at me, cut me some slack! Trying to help the uber-strong and successful Gwenski, here!

Besides, I am a bit worried about the health of the UPS guy, he doesn't know a bull is about to charge him!

9:57 and I am sitting here oh so quietly waiting. Everytime I hear the front door open my ears perk up like when you ask a dog if they want to go outside. I am so pathetic.

Laren and Jan-

You are both right!!! I have made the cookies in the past and even the pancakes.

I think on Saturday I had oatmeal three times and Sunday twice. Needless to say......right now, I am so tired and burnt on the oatmeal that I have gone comando for three days -- shakes only.

Have I mentioned that my rational has vanished due to it being that TOM?

I am stronger than this - honest but I feel like I am on the injured reserve list or something. Clearly I am disabled. Eat your bars Lauren and enjoy them, we all know this is in my head because I have let it. Boy that was hard to confess!

Anyway, just having my box and a whole order will make it all better cause I am sweating it. It is like being almost out of gas and knowing that you should of filled up at the last station and aren't sure if you can make it the bazillion miles to the next one. Am I making any sense?

Sorry and thanxs - you are giving me strenth.

IT'S HERE - IT IS HERE!!!

My co-worker took me for a walk around the block. Yes, I get walked! That BIG BEAUTIFUL BROWN TRUCK was pulling away as we hit the parking lot.

NO, I did not beat the current Olympic record - thank you!

I gracefully walked into the office like it was any other day. HA!!!

The box was sitting there waiting for me. It was opened in no time flat and there is a bar currently doing the backstroke in my tummy! Ah.....such bliss.

I have even made my Chili for lunch already. Joy of JOYS!!!! I feel complete again.

No worries, the UPS guy thinks I am crazy/funny/ha ha. Not only do I get my food delivered, I get my pet food delivered too. He always asks what's wrong if he doesn't have a box for me after a couple of weeks. I have been known to spontaneously hug the poor kid.

Make light, I was and knew I was mental. That is the first step - right? Knowing?!?

THANK YOU ALL FOR HOLDING MY HAND AND STEADYING ME DURING THIS SEMI-CRISIS. NO TEARS WERE SHED, MY LIP IS SORE AND SWOLLEN FROM POUTING BUT NOBODY WAS HURT!!

Hip Hip Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gwenski is probably still in bar heaven! :angel:

That's how I feel about my Medi-oatmeal. :bib: Love it!

:pet: Poor thinnin' Gwenski Girl! She really did have to :felix: wait a lifetime for those bars. Thank you one and :stroll: :stroll::stroll::stroll::stroll::stroll::stroll: all for helping her thru this ordeal.

Gentle Readers, there are times that shipping does take longer than usual and for that reason, it is in our best interest to not allow our Medifast stock to get too low, especially for our favorite items. When Hurricane Katrina struck, I had some very anxious Medifasters struggling because the UPS and FedEx drivers could not get their packages to them. The packages were at their hubs but just couldn't get to their front door.

Slow deliveries happen sometimes, it is not their intention.

Wipe the crumbs off your face, Gwenski - Oh, I doubt that there are any crumbs there at all since you inhaled your bars! Have a great weekend!

hollyhouse-

I just wanted to check with you and make sure you are only eating 1 bar a day. That is the only rule with the Medifast products as the bars are higher in calories and carbs than the other products. Just a side note like I said I was not sure if you knew that or not.

I don't know how I missed out on this hilarious conversation. It had me rolling with laughter and almost crying because of the ordeal Gwenski was going through....sort of like when I used up all my wonderful oatmeal about a week before my last order arrived.

I was feeling so bad for Gwenski until I read her final post that the wondrous bars had arrived. Then I almost shouted for JOY! Amazing how we get caught up in each other's crisis.

But then what are we here for but to support and cheer up each other in our time of need---and believe me--it was a NEED!

So the saga of the BAR is past. PLEASE EVERYONE, don't put us through this agony again. I learned my lesson....have you?

HollyHouse ~

You asked if anyone has done just shakes for a week - Yup. Shakes will work just fine along with your Lean and Green. It is not as thrilling as having some oatmeal or a bar but it works just fine - in fact, it works great!

Those bars can be a problem for some people - remember, just one bar a day keeps the fat fairy away!
