i'm back!!!

Hello all!  i just got back from vacation.. boy am i tired.. :)   We had lots of fun.. lots of walking, shopping, walking, shopping, talking, shopping... did i mention walking?  on saturday we didn't rest at all got up at 6 and didn't go to bed till midnight.. so much fun.. :) 

so, what did i miss?  i noticed that there's almost too much to catch up on so if someone could just fill me in that'd be aweseome!  :) 

off to try and catch up.. :)

Welcome back, Lady O!

Glad you had a great time!

well, you need to whisper to Karenie's scale, its not behaving.  I tried to threaten it but it wasnt scared of me!

we are working on getting erik and gang on Oprah, so just search for "oprah" and you will see all about that. 

You have been dearly missed Ob...I Missed you sooooo much!!!!! Glad to have you back!  how was your trip????  were you good?  Im going to be at my family in NC for a week and they eat sooo bad!  I will take any advice on handling that!

welcome HOME!

thanks slappy!  :)  i missed you guys too... i also missed logging all of my food.. but you know what?  i did well.. i decided that i would eat so much at each meal and i stuck to the calories, but i didn't deprive myself.. i ate what i wanted and i stayed within 1200-1400 each day... :)  i was so proud of myself.. haha.. that was my first vacation where i didnt' lose it.. in my life!  :)  also, this is the first vacation where i don't have to worry about going back on the wagon when i get back because i never went off!  the best part is that i got tons of exercise (did i mention walking?  my feet hurt)

my pictures are uploading right now.. should be done in 12-13 hours.. ahahah j/k.. but it will take a while.. there are over 200 of them!  :)  they are on the first page of my gallery

that is awesome girl!  I know you are proud of yourself.  Proving to yourself is a huge motivator for me!  Great job!

Good, she is back! And you should be proud of yourself. Sticking to your set calories is NOT easy if your with family and other events.

Are you telling me, that I have to tapp my fingers for 12 hours to go snooping for the new additions. puhu, I'm not a very patient person. lol

Hug's Gabi

you can look.. but they won't all be in there for a few hours.. its been running for about 45 minutes or so and there are 53 pictures loaded.. :)  it has to upload the biggest size to the server so it takes a while.. :)  but you can look at the pictures that are up there so far!  :) 

well I'm gone looking. lol

Welcome Back!  I viewed some of the pictures.  There are 77 right now.  My gosh they are so beautiful.  You have such an exciting life.  I hope you take the time to enjoy it all.  You are a very special lady!

thank you so much!  :)   the pictures of the gardens were in the opry land hotel.. we did not stay there.. haha.. we stayed across the street at the raddison.. :)  but anyone can walk through the gardens of the hotel.. :)  if you have questions about the pictures.. just ask!  :) 

yes I have one, would you mind, if I sneak two pictures for my Desktop backround???

go for it!  :)   my hubby's business partner took some of my NY pictures and is using them for his background i think.. and he told me after he did it... :)  i don't care.. that's why i have them up there.. for people to enjoy.. :) 

just out of curiosity.. which ones?  :) 

On, I think the last two pages, one is a beautyfull waterfall and two are on the next page goldfishies

ahh.. cool.. :)  enjoy them.. :) 

oh my god, this is my reward for being patient. These are the best backrounds for me. I have a few nice, and different once for every season. But nothing compares to the waterfalls and the fishies.

Hey, welcome back!  I posted in your log but I thought I'd say hi in "public" too.  :D

ok.. it's 10:00 here and i've been up since 5.. i'm going to bed.. BUT  just wanted to tell you guys that there are 8 pictures left to upload so probably by the time you read this they will all be in there.. :) 

oop.. just dropped to 7 left to go!  :)  hope you enjoy them.. :)  see "y'all" later (can you tell i cam from the south?  haha)

Oh my goodness. Is that what I think it is?....It is!!! Its the mystery machine!!!!*squeals with joy*
