I've lost 15.4 lbs...YEA! My face looks like my picture again!! I don't feel like a fraud every time I see it 
Since I'm on menu day 30, I should have lost 30lbs and would be almost to my original weight goal...but I got off protocol 3 weekends (San Antonio Riverwalk stay, 2 retreats...our caterer is to blame!).
After loosing what I've lost and looking at myself I've changed my goal loss from 33lbs to 28lbs...so I'm 13lbs away.
I plateaued out at the end of last week and so my hcg injection was cut in half to get my loss going again...good thing about this is that it will last longer now so even tho' I'm behind I'll still be able to loose what I want before I run out 
My sweet baby *seester* is back to scrappin', designin' and bloggin'...her new baby Aaron Jordan is 3wks old and he's a good sleeper!
She's going to have daily tips on her blog...and for those of you that know Sabrina, you know her tips are worth reading!
Today's is no exception... www.sabrinaboley.typepad.com

The challenge was to take a picture w/ your phone and then blog about it...so I took this just now as I cruise the message board instead of working on all the work on my desk...or sleeping...
I've got quickbooks reconciling to do, filing, correspondence, organizing, finishing re-installing the rest of my programs to my computer that is now working after it crashed...mysteriously crashed, mind you, while I was in Nebraska & Oklahoma...dh swears he didn't touch it...
Since, I don't have me own kids, I am getting a friend's 10yr old son to come help me file next week...in exchange for a Wii game he's been wanting :)

My 4yr old minpin, Darby, just had her 3rd (that I know of) seizure.
She crawled into the room where I was and stared up at me moaning shaking all over. She was so scared, kept staring at me thru it all...like begging me to make it stop or to reassure her. When my dh took her to wrap her in a blanket, I had to stay right with her or she started trying to get to me. We held her until it stopped, it lasted longer than the others.
I've been crying thru it and it's hard to stop. She's my baby. I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow...
I made this layout of my niece Sammie using Creative Memories Storybooks software and digital papers & elements I got on various internet sites...
A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.
He asked her about the contents. 'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.' The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'
'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'
A Prayer.......
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death, because I don't know how to crochet.
Got my new signs yesterday!!
A 4' one for the side of the building that faces the road and a 3' one for the front above the top, middle window.
They are black metal "R"s like the one in the circle below in my Rockin' R logo...down to all the rough edges!
I can't wait till they are up...DH is putting the smaller one up this week...I'll take pictures and post :)
We have to rent a lift to put the big one up...not sure when that one will get done...
