Well, good afternoon. I am back from my trip to Washington and Christi's bedside! What a wonderful visit it was and I can tell you, our Christi is as cute as a button and sweet as can be. In person, she is exactly as she appears to us all on here as "LilMsTexas". What an honor and privilege was mine to be the bearer of many gifts, cards, flowers and well wishes from so many from the forum who joined in the fun of surprising Christi. Look for a bit more detailed report in the studio when I send some pictures (have to wait for my husband to take care of it at our business tomorrow since the scanner, located there, is still a mystery to me.) Just wanted to share my gratitute, along with Christi's, to you very kind and thoughtful bunch of losers.
Speaking of losing - I may have cheated my way into the 60# club this morning - you be the judges. First weigh-in, after eliminating as much fluid as I thought possible, I was down 59.6. Rather than indulging immediately in my morning yummy oatmeal, I waited half an hour, ran to potty and tried again. Second weigh-in, down 59.9. Hmmmm. After considering several options, among them plucking my eyebrows and shaving places that didn't need it (thanks, Nancy, for these suggestions the last time we were stuck on plateau) or as a last resort, cutting my hair, I decided I might just have .1 of saliva built up
. Three spits later and weigh-in number 3 - DOWN 60.0!!!! I got a serious scolding from my daughter for being so obsessed with the number and I really have no excuse for my demented behavior
. And I don't really give a flying fig newton anyway 'cause today I AM IN THE SIXTY POUND CLUB (and already bored to tears being here; so if anyone is lounging in the 70# club, I'm on my way, even if I have to go bald to get there
