It looks like she hasn't been online for the past three days. Really hope everything's okay!

[Shatyr]

Agreed.

In other news, switched vehicles with my mom and I'm back in the stick shift Saturn. I can feel the stretch, but no pain. Still, the less time I have to spend in the car, the better.

Cello lesson was cancelled, my teacher's getting ready for a cruise. I won't see her for 2 weeks, so I'm going to have to seriously up my practice time. I want to impress her when she gets back.

I'm watching my brother's dog/house tomorrow, so I'll see if Bamboo wants to go for a nice walk in the evening. Provided the smoke doesn't descend and ruin that plan.

I have finally caught up on posting. And reading all the positive comments towards each other just warms my heart. Sometimes my own head gets the best of me, and I do wonder if anyone would miss me if I was gone. Well I can see I am a big silly head. Really needed the pick me up, as I have been sick. So my goals went the way side and I am slowly working myself to square one. I was eating more to keep my strength up, so my weight is up. I am ready to get going again.

We have 100 post. Each of your posts gets a number. I was the first to post(duh haha) so I got number 1. Tailrustedtealeaf was second to post so she got #2, and so on. I do a random number generator and have them pick the winner. The more you post the better the chance. I will have a flutter wing or knitted item prize choice. Please PM me if you want to donate a prize. I will just add the amount of prizes awarded.

Congeniality: will ask for your vote by pm.

If you want to donate a prize let me know. Please no restrictions on shipping. You can choose what contest or your own for your prize. At minimum I will have a prize donated for each contest.

I have the opportunity to get the guest speaker position at my job. This is my dream job. I might not post much, but I will do my best. I have to prep a 1 hour presentation memorized, so wish me luck.

The bottom of my heart, the arena and healthy pony has kept me going in good and bad. It's all thanks to wonderful people like all of you. Thank you so much for being so wonderful.

Working today in the evening and taking the day off to rest, but I'll try to order some of the books I need for classes tonight and tomorrow. I should look into helping other departments at my store as well. It seems like a lot of these books are absolutely necessary for my classes, and I don't want to have to sacrifice any participation in the hopefully upcoming Halloween swap. I could use the extra hours, they're only scheduling 4 people a day at the desk and I can only work 5 days of the week now.
CG: Lovely to see you back! Hopefully your sick passes very soon. Thank you for organizing this! Best of luck with the position at work, as well! It's lovely to hear that the position has opened up!
I have some interest in making a gift for the contest but I will need to make sure I can stay on top of my classes before saying for sure.  I love sewing ponywear and plush, even if my work isn't exactly professional.

Wow crowning glory!  Congratulations   good luck!

I always look forward to seeing your positive posts & glad things are turNing around for u

I'd like to donate a prize.  Pls pm me where to send.  I would like it to go in the random raffle like prize pot.

Welcome back Crowning Glory and good luck with the dream position!

It's now been exactly 3 weeks since my back first sprained. I'm back in my car, but wow is it different from driving my mother's automatic Scion! I had to readjust all the mirrors, the chair and the radio stations (not her fault, apparently something broke while she had it and they had to play with the electrical).

Back is feeling tight, but no actual pain. I've been able to mostly bend like a real person, so my plan is to do some GENTLE exercises on Sunday and see how things go.

I'm meeting up with a local pony person next Thursday for lunch, which is way exciting because I didn't think there were any other collectors in my area. At least, not any active ones.

I'd also like to donate a prize, custom cross stitch pony headshot coaster, G1 or G4 (I don't have any G2 or G3 designs prepped, sadly). It can go to any contest that needs one.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Kiwichi thanks for the prize donation. I have it down! Shatyr I wrote your prize down too:) thank you!!!

I sent buddy PMs so if I missed you let me know, I will get it to you.

Off to running errands and back to my presentation

[heathersmoo]

That is exciting, CG.  I hope you get the job!


I feel like this whole thread can be summed up with a meme:

[Crowning_Glory13]

Oh my gosh YES!!!!! LOVE IT.  That is so cute:)

[Ponyfan]

I need to get serious about losing weight. I know I'm overweight but it's becoming a health issue now, but I find it hard to want to eat healthy things.


Ponyfan

[Crowning_Glory13]

Me too ponyfan!!! I have done one day all healthy food a week. Bumped it to two and so forth. I even rewarded my healthy with treats. Like a mini piece of candy for eating a salad. Slow steps help. Just be positive. I had a salad today woohoo or I did not eat the whole bag of chips wohoo!

[Kiwi]

Congrats CG, good luck with the new job!

[Shatyr]

I got my full water intake yesterday and the 7.5 hours of sleep I try for, even though I was at my brother's house instead of my apartment. My back is feeling a little stiff, but that could be because I always end up sleeping sideways on his bed (I can't explain it, his mattress is WEIRD).

I'm looking forward to heading home after work and getting some chores and prep done. I'm going to do a very cautious baseline workout test tomorrow and see how much improvement I can accomplish by the end of next month.

[Crowning_Glory13]

That is amazing!!!! Not only great progress but testing the limit. Very proud of you!

I discovered a competitor for the same job...they are very good.got get my excitement going and staying positive.

Did some of my online coursework. A bit worried about the hefty amount of photoshop and illustrator costs but at least I don't have anything due until the 9th, so I should work ahead in stat and make room for that. 
Stat won't be so tricky, although it will make my excersice goal less and less avaliable. I'm okay with that falling to the side for now because I'm working consistently.
