I AM SMOKING!

Just sayin'.  Yeow.

Wow, that is an amazing achievement!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

At least I've accomplished something this year! Now to STAY this way, and concentrate on that writing thing. I really do have a hard time being fierce about more than one thing at a time... Just not talented that way.

I seriously need to haunt your lj this weekend and see what amazing writerly discussions have slipped past me. ALWAYS inspiring!

I loved you then, and I love you now.

It has truly been a joy to watch you blossom. Perhaps it was all the time I spent on the road, but it doesn't seem like you began your journey so long ago.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Love you too Kevvvviiieee! OH THE YEARS! How long has it been!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! Like a million since we first met via Those Who Shall Not Be Named???? And since you last trucked your way through here. SO glad I got to meet you and Miss Lucy.

LOL on Blossom. Said I was Blooming the other day--snort. Oh if he only knew!!!!

[fictional-one.livejournal.com]

What is it I'm supposed to know here? Email me off-flist if you must...and you must.

How long...whew. Since day one when you joined that group. Had we known each other a year before your last Christmas with Kel?

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Oh Kevvie, let's see uh uh uh I actually knew Them and was on That List before Kel got sick...so we're talking uh 2001ish? Scary thought!

[fictional-one.livejournal.com]

Goodness, it has been a long time...and I'm glad.

Congrats dahlin! It's been amazing to be friends with you during this journey - and I agree with fictional_one it seems like the time has flown by. You deserve the girly moment, you've done amazing!

..As long as you're not *literally* smoking (to lose the weight), lol.

[lilmizzaniml.livejournal.com]

Awesome job! Now I don't suppose you'd post some before and afters....

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

Noo! Don't smoke! It's bad for you!

*grin*

Congratulations. Go you!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I know, I know...I'm one of those weirdos who never even put one to lips. No thanks. :)

THANK YOU!

And I swear that user pic you are using always makes me do a double-take.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it brings me joy. It's definitely one of those wonderful things I've found on the Internet.

Also?

*hug!*

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Oh you silly thing no of course not, guess I shoulda said smokin'!

[bembacolora.livejournal.com]

WOW!! Now that's reason to celebrate! Well done, C.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thanks you! Good to hear from you--will reply properly soon as I find my brain. LOL.

[verasteine.livejournal.com]

Yay!

And that icon is just so... appropriate.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Baryshnikov! WHEE!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/lindalee_/]

You go girl!!!! However, I think we need to see some photos of your hotness!!! :D

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I will--all I have is my stupid camera phone, and not my good one anymore--it died. OF course, the before pictures are not exactly for public viewing--but they are pretty stunning to me. Especially trying to squeeze into the jeans that are now at Goodwill because they became too big for me. LOL.

[samueljames]

Well done, it takes dedication to achieve those kind of results.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little insanity too. LOL. Thanks!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

wow
tell me your secret

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Catch me in chat and I will tell you all about it. :)

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

Dedication, insanity...and a lot of fanfic?

Congrats!

[(Anonymous)]

LOL. YUP!

Well, there really wasn't that much fanfic--my list to read is way too long. And I still owe 2 comments, too, eek!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I was anonymous for some reason! Weird! Not now!

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

Smoking ... HOT!!!!!! *grin*

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thanks you! I am about 35 lbs. lighter than when we met last year. (Let's just mention that the scale went up over the rest of the year--damn thing!)

Never again. Being hard-core is...hard-core hard but oh so worth it. YAY!

[sanginmychains.livejournal.com]

Pshaw. I've lost 20 lbs since Tuesday... *giggles*

(Well not *lost*, I guess, since I know where 9lbs of it still is.)

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're wonderful! Congrats on the weight loss! Big hugs to you.
