just now home from the anninversary weekend. i am pretty pooped too. i woke

up yesterday and felt horrible, kept telling myself i'm gonna take these

pills and feel better. well i made it through the party. well, had to change

shoes. had muscle spasm and sneak to the bathroom and cry. then my sister got

us a suite and we went to the pool and whirlpool. i did my evercises, let my

legs hang in the whirlpool (too hot and made me feel wierd) but the pool had

so much chlorine i rubbed about 3 layers of skin off my face. my son is still

having a little trouble with his eyes. i actually swam!! then we went out for

pizza about 9 of us. went back to the hotel and collapsed. got up and the 9

of u went to feast again. my friend stayed thenight here to be with my lucky

What a great day, Tess! Ah, the miracle of prednisone. If only we could

safely take it all the time (and it didn't have the other side effects).

Love and hugs,

[ ] one tough cookie : )

OK, here's what I've done today...some of you may say " WHO ARE YOU AND

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR TESS??? " But, alas, it is I.

1. Took a shower

2. Cooked lunch

3. Drove my daughter Em & I to have our photo taken

4. Wore MAKE-UP to said photo shoot

5. Went to bank

6. Went To Mcs for 59 cent giant diet pops

7. Went to mall (first time in over 18 months)

8. Took birthday gift card from my folks and bought: A pair of agua

colored groovy-cool sun glasses ON SALE, a pair of socks that say the

word " Hot " then have little tomatoes all over the (white) socks, bought

a pair of gray socks with little animals & bugs all over them...both

socks TOO CUTE & ON SALE, and bought a mini-box of Godiva's (7 mini

pieces for me - 1 for Em - she isn't chocolate crazy...honest!)

9. Went and ate a PROTEIN dinner with Em

10. Stopped at store for necessities

11. Lived to tell about all this

I have to wear a lot of make-up for photos or I look, let's say, not

alive. So on goes the green concealer to cover the red rashes, then the

creme foundation, then the blush, then the dry powder, then the mascara.

I could feel it all starting to SLIDE off as I got warmer. I felt like

Mimi from the Drew Carey Show (Though NO blue eye shadow).

I'm pooped.

Hi Tess,

You crack me up! Mimi, indeed. I feel like her a lot

during the summer here in Dallas.

I am so glad you had such a great day. They give us

strength to make it through the bad ones. Happy

Sunday. Iris

Hi Kathy...I'm glad you made it through the big weekend and got to do

some fun stuff! We need to " recharge our batteries " sometimes!

Today, I am pooped. I hear a nap calling my name...

Love You, Friend...

Tess

[Guest guest]

OK Tess,

We all feel like slackers this weekend! I have been just a big ol' slug

worrying about everything! I think you need to make some motivational tapes

for this group!

Now about that make up thing. We all need some super glue to hold that make

up on during these dog days of summer. I know that I have gone from using

sponges to apply make-up to using a trowel to covering up dark circles and

the like. It is kinda like I should apply for a job with a masonry company!

LOL. After a certain age, it all just patch, patch, patch.

Many times, I have had to " catch " my face heading south towards my boobs! By

the time it hits the boobs, it looks more like a Marc Chagall painting!

Oh well, cooler days for most of us in a mere 6-8 weeks!

Gentle, tender, cooling angel hugs,

Dearest Debs...you crack.me up...yes, I need a trowell and some mortar

and an electric sander (for my chin...no questions asked!)

Oh, Lord, I pray you get the help you need SOON. If I could scoop it

all away from you, I would.

Know you are loved bunches and prayed for every day.

(+(+(+(+(+(+(+(+Debs+)+)+)+)+)++)

Please Tess,

Let us not forget the Hide a Line Putty from Arpel! Pretty soon, I am

going to go apply for a job at the Wax Museum.....no make-up necessary. I

will come with my own!

Yep, a trowel, scaffolding, sander. Ron's tool box now sits on my vanity for

easy access. Of course, then there is that lovely hair growth from

prednisone. Makes you lose it where you want it and puts it where you don't

want it. It is getting to the point, when I have my hair cut, all I will

need to do is put my whole face in the wax bowl and just rip most of

everything off. The beard, the mustache and the eyebrows. I am thinking of

a new hairstyle. Let my eyebrows just grow out and then I can just comb them

back!!!!!

If we didn't laugh here, we would all buy stock in - and cry our

eyes out everyday! Much better solution!

See you at the make-up counter!

You missed your calling Deb. If you could stand up, you¹d be a great stand

up comedian.

Is there such a thing as a sit down comedian? Thanks for the laugh. Humor

is definitely the way to go!

Hugs,
