Lana and others - conference... :)

[Guest guest]

He-he, Lana... Beth Patton's DOCTOR??? I must

have been sleeping, darl, I thought it was her

kid... Maybe she's Doctor Doogie's

replacement???

BTW, Missing you lots and have several e-mails

going on at once here, in between bad bouts of

jetlag, working etc... I will for sure get to you

guys this weekend!!!

And to you others on the list... I sure have a

lot to post about, after this conference... I am

still not done taking it all in... It was a

fantastic conference I wish you all could have

been at... And last, but not least, a fantastic

meeting with Darlene and Mike, where I had the

honor of having Mike work on me (Thanks a Billion

and more again Mike, words aren't enough, you

know...). Yesterday I met the chiropractor I have

a cigarette with in the office back yard almost

every day. I asked him to feel my back, as he had

done so just before I left. He said " WOW, what on

earth happened to your back??? " ... Before I left

he said " WOW, now you have one funny back there "

because of my kyphosis, misplaced vertebrae

etc.... Not so anymore... Straight as a board, I

only have one vertebrae slightly out of place, it

has probably been sliding a bit the past days,

PMS you know... He said to me " You really need to

find somebody locally who can help you maintain

these results... " ... I guess I have to do

something like that, if I can't convince Mike to

come back to his Norwegian roots and move here,

he-he... And... The back is just a little

thing of all that he did... It still totally

blows my mind... And boy does it feel funny

to be able to touch the upper part of a backrest,

or be able to stand against a wall... Haven't

done so in years... I wouldn't be surprised if I

one of these days suddenly realize another thing

that has changed... I have kept doing so... I

didn't even get to noticing that my tummy had

disappeared before roomie Cindy suddenly

said " Boy, you look like you lost 10-15

pounds " ... And so I do, I still have to look at

that belly, can't believe it, I even got a tummy

tuck when Mike took care of my bladder prolapse

and other things going on in there... I keep

saying to myself " Why the heck didn't I take

photo's before (Stupid, stupid!!!) " ... I have

taken pics afterwards though, so you can all see.

Just got to get somebody to take a good pic from

a bit of a distance showing my upper back better

than I managed myself holding the camera out to

the side etc. and just hoping I would be able to

hit the right spot...

I am already starting to count the days to the

next conference. To all you others that wasn't

able to make it there this year, START SAVING and

figuring out ways to find the money. When I went

to my first conference ever, I had no money

whatsoever, but was able to do it anyway, by

planning early, writing letters to ask for

support etc. I did it, you can do it also (and

that includes you JO!!! ... We can " talk " more

about that later. I can share what I did, and I

am sure some others can share something they did

- and yet others will have good ideas of other

ways to get funding... Our fantasy is the

limit... I really, really mean that...

Besides, I am totally fine with eating oatmeal

the whole year, if that is what will get me

there... That is how much you guys (most of all)

and this conference means to me!!!!! Love you to

bits, you know, you keep me going all year

around!!!!

All conferences I have gone to, have been very

special to me. But I have to say it, this one

totally blew my mind!!!! These experiences are so

fantastic, it will take a long time to process,

that is for sure!!! Sharing room with Cindy has

been so wonderful, I felt at home instantly!!! I

will never forget that, and hope that we can do

the same next conference!!!! He-he, that was

nothing for people planning on sleeping a lot!!!!

And staying with Sue and her family for such a

long time, was also fantastic!!!! Sue is an

amazing and wonderful person, and her kids are

equally fantastic, that is for sure!!! What a

gift it was to be able to spend time with you

guys!!!! Oh well, I better finish this mail

before I start crying here... Peanut wants to go

out _very bad_, she has been enjoying herself for

a long time on the floor, with one of her

presents from the US, a " flying saucer " " Kong "

(you unscrew each part and fill it before you

screw it back together with a tiny opening),

which I filled with lots of kibble and

breadcrumbs done in the blender, then mixed with

a bit of water and chicken liver paté, then the

same but with a tube cheese (like a " melted "

cheese). Boy has she been busy, obviously she

loves it. And I haven't even tried the peanut

butter doggie success that I have heard so much

about from Cindy, yet... I am sure that a

teaspoon of peanut butter mixed in with this mix

(not too much other yummy stuff, since she has

food intolerance and colitis, she only gets a bit

mixed with her ordinary special diet food - but

she sure did not seem to mind), will make her

completely nuts of joy!!! While she has been

busy, I have been reading mail and eating Runts,

thinking of all of you guys (thanks again for my

yummy Runts, , and Ginny!!!)... Can

you tell that I miss you guys???

Talk more later!!!!

hugs,

Aase Marit and Peanut sends kisses to you

all and especially to Lacey and Liam!

hugs,

Aase Marit
