Grrrr... working 100% of the time is no fun is it??? Am really sorry to have been missing in action lately but I am the only one here running the company at present and its been 'full on'. The troops get back at the weekend *s* so things will be back to normal insanity by next week!

God... I've missed homecomings... and Birthdays... and departures... new challanges...sun tan issues *s*... weight loss and more.. this is a happening place isin't it!

Over this side of the Pond... I got my family back last Wednesday from the UK and Germany, we had a national holiday last Monday and we have my sis in law, hubby and one niece staying this week and MIL arriving next week... so plenty happening...

But the best news by far... is... that I GOT my COWBOY HAT... it only took me 40yrs of yearnin'.. but it arrived in the post yesterday (*winks in thanks to gramn for pointin' me in the right direction then giving the shove that was needed...."'preciate Ma'am")

Sarah was in when it came and she tried to get the UPS delivery man to take it away again.. "you realize that he will be insufferable when he gets this" she explained with tears in her eyes..
As if I would wear it.. tip me hat, call everyone 'Pilgrim', sashay all bowlegged like and embarrass my family.... I mean... would I?

Would I??? Pilgrim!

Darn thing is a tad too big (even though I measured with religious percision!).. but am gonna just keep it and just order more! They are nice folks out yonder in Arizona..

Meanwhile. I'm walking when its not pouring with rain and keeping the carbs under 20g still. The average loss seems to be about a pound a week. Am 13lbs from a final goal that I just never thought achievable only a few short months ago... and the whole epic journey has been laced with laughs, inspiration and new friends..How brilliant is that...

Well am really dashing this off before the phones go mental again..need to try to make a few sensible and deep comments round and about too

..... That'll be da day!

*Tips my genuine stetson and sashays on yonder....*

Luv the hat! and the new pic! Now you have to watch lots of John Wayne movies and learn to walk/swagger like John, he's not really bowlegged. :) Just think of the fun you can have---and all the grins (and groans) from your family. Or when you walk into Gerry's bar...... :) ;)

You have been so much missed that we will put up with "pilgrim" in every other sentence. It's not the same without you!!! And what's the big idea trying to run a company and all that nonsense while the really important stuff of the world is going on here...get your priorities straight man!!

Great picture Dave! Love the hat! I'd love to hear a southern drawl with an irish accent! LOL! I can almost hear it. How come you look so serious and yet make us laugh more than any other person on here. You're an enigma. Keep up the good work, and don't lose any more weight in your head, OK!! Just off the middle. ;)

your goal is but a stone away, pilgrim!! Don't worry! Soon, Sarah will embrace your hat collection with true love! (as soon as she realizes she can work it to her own benefit! For every hat that arrives, she gets to go and buy a new outfit!) hee hee!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new pic! You FINALLY got your cowboy hat. I am thrilled for you! And you look GREAT in it too :) Sorry you have to be working so hard. We really miss it when you're not here, Cowboy!! Glad the family is back so you won't be so lonely. THIRTEEN POUNDS from final goal?!! That is FABULOUS! Keep ROCKIN' ON my friend :D
