Man, the stars are aligned for me today for some reason--

Some woman, I definitely do not know, left me a lovely voice mail--a poem she wrote herself about love, and then she said "I love you. Call me when you get the chance." Um...well...this is so sad! WRONG PERSON! (I sent her a text message, have no idea if she got it--but hey, it was lovely and I enjoyed it very much!)

Then, Steve Kuzma, one of the Real Estate dudes from BNSF Railway I do tons of map work for (he gives me the greatest challenges--real puzzlers, and I always, always figure it out--which is why he comes to me lol). He told me, "I should bring you latte and a box of pastries for all you do for me!" I laughed and told him, no thanks, but a basket of fruit? That would be awesome! He looked at me all puzzled, then REALLY looked--and said WOW, you look fantastic!! (snort) Guys are so observant--the boss didn't realize, either, until one of the crazy women at Staubach pointed it out.

AND THEN!!!!!!

Went to Firehouse Deli and got a salad--they have great ones--and when I told the lady "no cheese, chili or salad dressing" she looked at me and said "weren't you here a few weeks ago? You look fabulous!"

AND THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaving the deli, walking in front of the stores, some chick calls out from her car, "You look really cute!" I turned around and said, "Excuse me?" All puzzled here... And she said, "You look really cute!" I said THANKS! And left, laughing, escaping across the field.

3 women (ok really 2) and 1 old RR dude...but hey, I love every second of it.

Beats what happened in the ladies restroom yesterday, being told by one of the Staubach ladies, "So, I hear you're either sick, or starving yourself. Which is it?" GEESH!!!! I've lost 33 lbs since January 1. Yeah, that is fast, that is alot, but I have given it 100000%. It works.

I feel like one of those stupid ads in magazines, "I lost 30 lbs in 6 weeks, ask me how!" But the funny thing--I have, and all by eating fruits, veggies, and bison/chicken/fish/shrimp. Time to stabilize though--I do miss cheese!!!!

Thank you! You do in yours too!

Uh. Okay. LOL just kidding but maaaann if you ever stop using that one, I will be so confused.

You know Po, through here at least don't you? She nuked her lj. I am super super sad about that. I really loved reading about her life. Sigh.

I hope she comes back. Pout.

Confused now? Bwahahaa. Nah, I'm kind of insanely in love with my icon (which, ironically, looks nothing like me), so I suspect I'll keep using it for all eternity.

I know Po both from LJ and IRL. It would be lovely if she decided to come back - she's done it before, so here's to hoping! Do you have her friended on Facebook? She said she'll still spend time on there and try to keep in touch with everyone that way.

LOLOL You are a redhead aren't you????

No, I don't do Facebook, but if you talk to her, tell her I am sad, and will miss her posts. I just don't have time nor inclination to do more than LJ. Facebook gives me the shivers. I would have to be not-me on there, as I would so not want to be me there. LOL.

Ah, that's right, we even had the convo about Facebook. But I'll be sure to let her know. :)

Right now, I have bluish-black and purple hair with roughly five more colours thrown in just for kicks, but my natural hair is a dull, dull light brown. I've had red hair on many occasions, though - it's a colour I keep going back to. I feel like a redhead, darn it! ;)

Hi Carolyn, I can't tell you how happy it made me to see what you'd written here... It's wonderful to know that what I wrote DID mean something to someone and wasn't simply annoying everyone. (I mean, you have to admit it -- I wrote pretty depressing stuff most of the time.) I feel like I have no life whatsoever half the time, so it feels weird to hear that someone actually likes reading about it. Heh :)

I really am sorry about leaving (especially so abruptly), but my life is really difficult at the moment, and let's just say that I needed a break from journals altogether. If I have nothing nice to say, than I'd rather not say anything at all, which I'm sure you understand. As I told people on my Facebook profile, I will DEEPLY miss LJ as I have been here for years and years now, and find it incredibly hard to not be reading my friends' insightful entries on a daily basis as I used to. But... I need this. At least for the time being. I need time to simply heal.

As I told you before, I would never force any of my friends to join FB if it's not their cup of tea. However, I must say that I'm crap when it comes to e-mail, phones or snailmail for that matter, so this does mean that staying in touch with you may get quite difficult :( I will try my best though, because I'm not willing to let you slip away!

*hugs real tight* Don't you worry, Po is still breathing.
