Back on the wagon.....again.  Must be a song in there someplace.

So, you are wearing a bikini for your wedding night. 

LOL....most ladies buy lingerie.

I'm happy that all your details are coming together for your big day!

If you have a military installation or a government entity nearby, go to www.usajobs.gov, search for a field of work that is appealing to you because it covers a huge variety of fields, and put in an application. 

There is always room for advancement for those who are ambitious.  Plus many career centered positions offer paid college while you work.  Not to mention all the free training you can receive while in the job. 

And one important factor - it's very family friendly, especially for single parents.

Don't say your skills are limited, perhaps your range of skills have not been challenged, that's all.  Who knows?  You might be an excellent lab technician, or a real whiz at numbers, or possess extraodinary organization skills.   You could land an upward mobility position where you start at the bottom of the totem pole but advance up the payscale annually to achieve full potential status. 

The website is like a huge catalog of jobs - there's something for everyone.  Nursing, computer aided design, engineering, food services, child care etc.  It's just gigantic.  Can't hurt to browse around.

Good luck, and I'm sorry for your loss.

As hokey as it can possibly be... I LOVE the smell of my husband when he comes out from the shower.

Just as bad is when he comes home from work smelling like somebody's old basement.

Funny though, our pets just love rolling around in his dirty laundry.  Must be all those other assorted pet smells he brings home.

I'm in my upper 40s and I think my skin is holding up pretty well.  I drink tons of water and I always have moisturizers available.  I don't think expensive creams are any better than others - $17 is alot to me too!  

I found a three step moisturizer -  Alpha Hydroxy, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E...at the Dollar Tree.   Best stuff I've ever used.  I went back and cleaned them out.  I stay out of direct sun if I can and I always have sunscreen with me in my bag. I never leave home without it.  

But if you take the time to brush your teeth at night, go the extra couple minutes and do what's good for your skin before you hit the sack.  When you are my age, you will be glad you did! 

THAT was a brave step, you are awesome!  

I never could jog, even as a kid but my husband and I decided to get roller blades since our neighborhood street is well paved and long.  We have had a blast.  Our neighbors think we are nuts (both of us are approaching 50), but it's fun.  We wear ALL the gear available.  At our age, we don't bounce anymore!

Congratulations on your achievement!

Yeah, my cats can be gross too, but dogs rule when it comes to gross.  Not only does she steal cat box tootsie rolls, she will also eat cat puke.  yuk...ick.  yak.  Gross!  My dog will also eat chapstik, and mangle the toothpaste tube I toss in the bathroom garbage can.  I give her dog food.  ..  you know, DOG...FOOD.   I can hardly get her to eat it.

You know how the bagger always says "Have a nice day?"  One day my sister looked right at her and said "Don't tell me what to do".   It was like the world stopped turning, or for those few old enough to remember...like an "E.F. Hutton" commercial.   That lady's face was priceless and my sister just busted out laughing.  Her reaction to that remark took her off guard.  It was totally a joke and the bagger was a friend of hers.  Even funnier was the cashier's reaction.  She was more surprised than the bagger because she wasn't aware that the two were friends.

osmwillble, you should not eat cigarettes after breakfast.  They will give you heart burn.

Love my dog because she is big, stupid, and loveable.

Love my cats because they are fun to watch and they are smarter than the dog.

I stand undecided.

Hey, sorry about the sprained ankle, ouch - I hate that!   You are definitely doing something right.  You must have built some muscle while you thought your scale wasn't budging.  Yay for you! 

Hey!  I wasn't so BAD after all.  This a.m. the scale went down .5 lbs.  Not a lot, but for what damage I'd thought I'd done....I'll take it !

I hear you loud and clear jjlewis.  My scale and I have this on again, off again friendship.   

I lost NOTHING this week.  I weighed 4 times.  I fell off my wagon and tomorrow morning, I'm going to dust myself off and get back on it!!  NO if, ands, or BIG butts about it!

I am trying to be as accurate as possible with my entries everyday, even if it's 2 pickle chips or 4 M&Ms. It all adds up. Obsessive....maybe. In the long run, I win!

If I have a bad day...i.e, Ben & Jerry's ..I will be honest w/myself and log it, as much as I hate to admit.  You know that stuff is 260 cals for 1/2 cup!!  But when the scale doesn't budge for a week, I know exactly who to blame.   :)

Yeah, I love that one too, AND the NHL Stanley Cup! Very imaginative and funny!  I'm glad that alot of people responded, thanks everyone! It makes for fun reading!
