February 2001

Go vote on what glasses look best on me! Birthday Sixteen kids were there celebrate. We had the festivities at ArtWorks, Hollace's stomping ground. Lot of room for them to play, paint, dress up and make noise.We had the whole place to ourselves. The three ladies that work there were guests of the party as well. Hollace's best friend Anna is the daughter of one of those ladies. Cindy and her family made the 3 hour drive to be there and I got a chance to see my college friend Susan and her daughter Chloe. Everyone had lots of fun even though I am not really a party thrower.I forgot to get the grownups anything to drink, and had a challenge trying to get pictures and video and to be the hostess. The next day Sherry and her kids took Hollace out to Build-A-Bear. Hollace picked out a Pony that she dressed in a fuzzy pink sweater and is named Beeka. The next weekend my mom, dad and grama came out to celebrate. RAW made is famous stuffed spinach pizza and I got mom her favorite donuts from the bakery around here. The next day was mom and grama's birthday. Somersizing I think one of the reasons I haven't lost a pound in the last 5 months was because I kind of abandoned the food combining aspect of Somersizing. I have 30 lbs to go and a 20 year class reunion this summer, I needed to do something. So I am back with true Somersizing. The first week back and I am back to my pre-holiday weight (I think I gained 5 lbs. during the holidays where there was no holds barred.) Two days into my first week I get an interesting email. It is from Suzanne Somers' people asking if I want to be a testimonial in her next book, SOMERSIZE FAST AND EASY...FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. How cool is that? Well there is more motivation to stick to this plan. I have until the end of Februrary to submit my "leter" to Suzanne and before and after pictures. In case you are wondering how she found about my success, I submitted my pictures to her website's photo gallery I don't know if these stuffed animals were in a time-out but Eloise thought it looked inviting so she joined them. Didn't know where to put this picture. Didn't want to start it's own page in Hollace's section. It sure is cute though. The Race ...the movie I have edited my first feature film, well all 2.5 minutes of it. It is 3mbs as either a Quicktime or Windows Media movie or if you have a really fast connection, download the 9mb version. It is worth the download so go check it out. 3.4Mb QT or 3.4Mb WMV,
