How was your first day at work? How did you look? Wink..
Oh and I made an error with the hose, I said Tan, but I meant to say Suntan, they don't sell them in the winter here in VA, so I stock up on them in the summer so I can have them for the winter. I just love the color when I have to wear them.
Hey Brook, You absolutely crack me up!!! Thanks for thinking of me.
I wore Legg's Suntan for years. I used to work for the airlines, and had to wear hose and heals everyday.That is probably what is wrong with my feet and back now. I have since graduated to Hane's Smooth Illusions, Contouring. They are like wearing a girdle. haha And you can get them that come all the way up to your bra so the mid-section is smushed flat, too. Sometimes it feels like I am going to explode. Ofcourse, I have not had to wear them often at all in the past few years, and will do all possible to avoid them even now.
First day was OK. Learned a lot about security, etc. I will basically be in a training class for 2 weeks, so it really isn't very fun. Unfortunately, I found out I can buy anything in the store at cost.<wink>.
I am only working M,W,F, and Sat, but that is more than I wanted. I have SO much to do around here. Don't know why I thought I had time to get a job. I have about 12 loads of laundry, grocery shopping, PTO calls to make, 3 pair of pants to hem and jewelry orders to fill. All before 3 pm today. Do you think I can make it?
I hope you have a wonderful day, sweet girl. I will chat with you later!!
Look at our Carol....a career woman and everything. They're lucky to have you Carol.

oh lets look pretty but feel miserable.. LOL Just like I used to buy shoes too small to make my size 8- 8 1/2 feet look smaller.. What were we thinking??? Why I have feet problems to this day.
Well I am kinda skinny so I don't need that, but I did wear a girdle one yr to a xmas party my hubbys company had, why I wore it I have no idea, other than the not so toned areas in the tight dress was showing, let me tell you, the not so toned fat, hangs over the top of the girdle or perhaps I had on one too small, never bought one before, and I ate dinner and I thought I was going to die, the fat got bigger and bigger over the the top of the girdle, I went in the restroom, took it off , tossed it , and said let the not so toned areas (FAT) show.. and I danced the night away..
I will have to branch out and try the Hanes,, have not used anything but Leggs.
Listen if you get super busy, do not worry about my order, it isn't that big of a deal. We could even wait until the New Year, it is for me, so not something I need right away.

Carol:
You are so awe inspiring! The changes that have come since you first got here are nothing short of amazing. I am so proud of you. I love seeing you and love seeing you participate in your Recovery and in life. You are a miracle. Look at the changes in your life in the past year...I love benchmarking the changes and the successes in my life. When I was using, nothing changed. I could not benchmark any change in three years. No growth, no progress. Everyday was Groundhog's Day. Thanks for suiting up and showing up. You make a difference in my life :-)
Rachel
Wow Rachel, thanks. I am loving the changes in me and my life. I have to mention that I am still on Sub., but I am getting my life back together and can't remember when I have been happier. I love being busy and accomplishing things. But better yet, I love being able to do it without stressing out and losing my cool about every little hangnail. That's how it is now. Things are rocking along and I can handle life on life's terms without coming unglued if things don't go my way, or when bad things happen.
I love being in control of my life and my emotions. And yes, I can look back and see the rocky road behind me. A past filled with mishaps, bad decisions and over-reactions. It wasn't a pretty sight when the pills were in control of my life.
You have been a major inspiration to me. I connected with you and have watched you from the beginning of my time here. Seeing you handle your life and listening to your advice has been a huge part of what brought me to today.
Thanks again. I know you have done this for many on the board, and we are all lucky to have someone like you here to help guide us.
I thought I was the only one who was a major Suntan color Leggs fan...i end up looking like a split sausage nowadays...
Carol, I'm so glad that you are happy with your new job! You sound so positive and upbeat.
I'm hoping to hear back on a Deputy Clerk position that i faxed a resume to yesterday....how embarassing, I didn't want to fax it from my real estate firm, so I went to the library....they faxed it and told me it was $2.00...geez, i thought it would be .50 a page....needless to say I ended up giving them $1.40 because it was all I had....I knew I should have asked the cost before they faxed it, but who'd of thought that they charged that much for 2 pages, local call....
anyway, it's really nice to see a positive thread....
