Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Sunny, I make handmade paper and handmade books so the book press flattens my pages and boards- much better than the cement blocks I use now

Cat - the house is in King's Mountain an hour south of Lexington and about 10 miles north of Somerset - its a fixer upper to say the least *grin*

Sherri! That's who I missed seeing today - hope her dr. appt went well...

speaking of drs. I really think they need REALITY TESTS

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

I know that it seemed as if I were hiding, but I truely wasn't. Work was hectic and then tonight was Cub Scout night. I think I wrote after boy scouts last night... It is just you guys were burning up the board today.

Cat: We may not be the "same person" but we are sisters.... You have to treat me tooo........ I do not feel that I need to wish you luck, only happy journey!!! You can and WILL do this if this is a true desire of yours.

Createme: Glad to see you. I am happy to hear you joined Curves today. I had done that a couple of years ago with my daughters and really enjoyed it. I only left because the hours were very restricting to me. I don't know if they are all the same but all in my area you have to be in by 6p weekdays, by 11a Sat and they are closed on Sundays. It's a bummer. I really need a workout partner.

Tracey: Glad to see you back on plan. It is very hard to get it going again once you fall down go boom.... However, the best way is to get back on the board. That is my only way.

Sunny: Happy to hear that your diet is over and can get back to "life' as we prefer it. I hear you on the roadtrips. I always wished that I could do that... just jump in the jeep and just drive. I've never had much of a chance...

Catherine: I am proud of you and your accomplishement. 18's is wonderful. You must be really excited about the next turn. You have also made the Month.... now you can't stop and you are stuck here with us.

Glenda: Glad to hear the good news about your daughter. I know this takes a lot of stress off of you, seeing her moving up. My DD's always seem to have me in a tizzy....

Kass: I hear you on the boring classes. I have been trying to take online course that the Dept. of Defense offers.. well, need I say more... You are doing wonderful and all you can say or do is "One day at a Time".. Kind of like Ann Remono... you're prob. to young to know that show. There goes my age showing.

Sherri: Where are you girlfriend. We all want to hear everything went perfect at the Dr.'s today. One of us deserves it.....

Bekka: How are you doing??? Check in with us..


I do want to thank everyone for all the kind and uplifting words about the picture. There is no secret, when you have your first child at 17, you become a grandma at 40...41..and 42.. I hope they wait a couple more years to grace me with more. It gets expense to "spoil" when there are so many.

I also want to apologize for bringing the "funk" into the thread... seems I started this and like a bad visus have seemed to spread around.

Now that the book is end it's next chapter..."Going to the Races" by the Derby Girls... I had better say goodnight.

Hugs... and more Hugs to everyone!!!

Oh, for Pete's sake! (Who was Pete, anywho?) We were all having our individual 'funks' the whole time you were gone! You just weren't here to read our whiny posts! We keep each other going, and that's a fact!

Good morning Derby Girls! More later!

Thank you Marty!! Let me just say this: YOU DID NOT BRING THE FUNK INTO THIS THREAD!! I think maybe we all had our own little mini funks (at least I did) before now. I think you never saw it because I never showed it. I don't want people to think I'm weird. But as you became like my family, I found/find it easier to open up and express how I'm feeling. I think that it's important that we all be able to express how we're feeling. It leads to healing. And why not heal our emotions so that our insides can match our FABULOUS outside? My mini funks just come and go in spurts (way worse with TOM) but I'm looking for a permanent "holistic" way to get rid of it for good. All in due time. We'll all get better. I know we will. I have faith that God brought all of us together for a GREAT reason!! Love ya'll (the south coming out of me).

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

I agree!!!

In general, sometimes we don't want to bring down the house as they say - but I say, bring it down if it's going to help get out of it!! My funk was PMS related and really I wasn't going to mention my falling out, but I did, I admitted it, and I think that now that I did, I'm able to move forward! Everyday is not going to be great, everyday is not going to be perfect... but sharing it with everyone here is going to help every day get a bit better!

So on and out with your funks and on to a New Day!

It is way easier to deal with other people's problems than it is your own. While you are thinking of ways to help others, you usually take your mind off your own problems and in turn you help yourself. Most of the things we worry about never happen or if they do, it is not as bad as we think. It also helps to know that you are not the only one going through a hard time. Life is tough all over. Holding it all inside never helps. Let it out and we can help each other and ourselves.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Alright DG's..... How do you keep from quitting your job or fly to Fl. and choking the crap outta your boss???? After I walked out of work today.. I wanted nothing better than stop and grab a hamburger.... Instead, here I am. Ate something legal and talking to my friends..... How do I rely on you... let me count the ways. 1,2,3,4,.......1,000,000 etc...

Thank you I needed that!!

I vote for flying to Florida and choking him. When I was working in Key West, my boss threw a very big law book at me and I picked it up and threw it back and hit him up side his head! His aim was off; mine wasn't. He looked at me in shock and then burst out laughing. He said I was the only one not afraid of him. All the rest cringed (or cried) when he yelled; I just yelled right back. I didn't grow up with all those older brothers without learning a thing or two.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Sunny - that made me laugh out loud! Marty - hang in there, great job on eating something legal!!

Who is working out today??

Yes, I'm going.... friends called to say they were meeting at the bar after work for drinks for another friends birthday (which is Saturday)... I'm going to go to the gym instead... I'm on a roll and don't want to blow it, please I too need to release some steam from the day.

Hoping for whooshs for everyone tomorrow!!!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hi friends!
Sorry I havn't been around much. Tom came and kicked my butt this time. I missed my Dr. Appt. Tuesday. I was in bed all day in pain. I rescheduled my appt. for the 29th. The good news is that I kept my hair appt. and had three inches trimmed off and had it highlighted. It looks and feels great.
I see I wasn't the only one in a funk. Wow, did it hit all of us? Talk about being connected!
Monday night I felt ravished and the cravings were more than I could handle. I ate 4 sugar free cookies and ate 2 pieces organic sprout cinnamin toast. I'm counting it as a cheat ( cookies had white flour in them). So today is day 2 cheat free days. Back to square one. I didn't gain an ounce on my cheat. It still sucks though cause the cookies weren't worth it!
I'm still not 100% feeling well. I just wanted to come see you all and give you a big hug and tell ya I love you all! I should be back to my ol' self tomorrow. TTYL

Hi Derby Girls ~


long day....

Glad to see everyone floating back after this latest bout of 'funk-itis'

And Sherry! So glad you're back but wish you felt better NOW. TOM is just .

tomorrow is my Big Day...guess my 'carotid artery clot' isn't too serious since I made it for a week without keeling over......
