Feeling Happy
Good Bye ..... I'm moving
A Good Bye of sorts.
Hey Gang. How is everyone doing?
It has been a long time hasn't it?
So this is what I have come to say.... I am deleting "FatBeGoneStacy" because to be honest it just isn't who I am any more. I created that screen name over two years ago when I really needed weight loss support and boy did I find it.
I made some amazing friends here in J-Land and with both lists that I created to give back some of the support to other women going through this extremely hard struggle. Although towards the end I got to see a different side of some people, I don't regret any friendships I made here because I am choosing to walk away from here remembering only the good..... and there was good.
So.... Why am I leaving you ask? Did I reach my goal? (ok stop laughing you there in the back, it's not that funny!) No I didn't not come even close to reaching my goal, but I have however set my sights on a new goal of gaining enough weight that Discovery Health does a special on me. <g> I'm teasing. I do not have a grip on my weight at the moment but I will eventually like I always do. The reason I am leaving this part of my online life is because keeping up with being the worst year of my life, even more bad news has been dumped on me and of course I am not handling well.
The two biggest being that Ben graduated first in his class and thinking that he would then get to choose where he would be stationed, we were heart sick to learn that he is being sent to Japan for two years. Don't get me wrong, we are thrilled that he is out of harms way and know that other military families have a much worse burden to deal with. But we are very sad non the less.
And the other is that all the testing has been done on my back and the final diagnosis is that this is as good as it gets. I now have extensive arthritus in my back and there is nothing they can do for me except pain medication which really robs you of big chunks of your life. I am going to be taking shots in my spine in hopes of getting some relief but I have done them before and am not really hoping for much of an out come. To say I am depressed over this is a huge understatement.
Anyway my point is .... long before I decided to leave I was doing a lot of talking about being positive and not dwelling on drama etc - so I am taking the Zen road and leaving "FatBeGoneStacy" behind and moving on. I would love to stay in touch with my friends and those of you that I have really come to care about. So every now and then drop me a line at my new screen name "BashaMomma". Who the hell is Basha you ask? Yea well you know how things go in this house, I get depressed or sad and Wendy brings in another animal. <vbeg> Basha Tallulah is my new very bestest friend and I torture her by dressing her up in outfits and taking endless pictures of her.
So I am over in the dog section of the internet world (and JLand) and meeting some very calm, no drama, nice people who don't understand my strange sense of humor or get my personality <g> but they try. I made a journal up for Basha Tallulah LINK: oH nO shE didn'T .... wooF wooF to showcase her modeling portfolio (kidding, there is no portfolio.... yet) and slowly I am going to start shaking things up and cursing and bitching just like I used to do here. <g> So stop by and say "hey" if you can. I only know about 6 people in the dog worldthat use AOL so my comment section SUCKS and could really use some humor. <eg>
Oh and guess what?! I did it!! My Gaudy Pink Palace Bedroom is finally done!! Check it out.
Hope to see tons of you over at BashaMomma or Basha's journal:
To those that I will never talk to again - thank you for being a such a big part of my life for two years. I enjoyed every minute of it..... ok, most of it. <g>
Parting is such sweet sorrow.

New Rules and a New Challenge
New rules for the new year:
Stop giving me pop up ads for Classmates.com! There's a reason I don't talk to those people 25 years later, it's because I never did particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days - mowing my lawn.
Don't eat anything that is served to you our of a window unless you are a seagull. People were actually shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar, what did you really expect it to contain?
There is no such thing as flavored water. There are aisles of this crap in every supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called soda. If you truely want flavored water pour some Scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.
The more complicated a Starbucks order, the bigger the jerk. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half soy, half low fat, iced vanilla, double shot, mocha cappuccino, light ice, one Sweet-n'-low, one Nutra Sweet, with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon", you're a huge asshole.
I'm not the cashier! By the time I'm done sliding my card, entering my PIN, pressing "enter", verifying the amount, deciding no I don't want cash back, and pressing enter again, the dam kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating MY Almond Joy.
Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above your ass crack and translates to "Beef with Broccoli". Last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God that you weren't pregnant. You weren't being spiritual when you got it, you were being high!
I don't need a new bigger Mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&M's I'll go a little nuts and eat two.
Making movies based on old TV shows is stupid. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place, it's because the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.
No more gift registries. These used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white peoples version of looting.
When I ask you how old your toddler is, I don't need to know the months. "he's 27 months". He's not a block of aging cheese - "He's two", will do just fine. And I didn't really care in the first place.
This entry brought to you by hysterical George Carlin who always makes me laugh, and Ellen who sent this and made me laugh when I really needed to.
A New Challenge started today in FuCIRland! Laurie and Jen have put together the
Not such a fatty for St. Patty's Day Challenge
A huge Thank you to you both. And I can't wait to see what else you ladies have in store for us.

Sad FuCKIRs, Challenge, Ben, Joey, Weigh In
The FuCKIRs are not a happy bunch this week. Apparently you don't need to actually live in the same house as other woman to get onto their cycle <g> because for the most part almost all of us had TOM last week........... and some of us went to Super Bowl parties...... and some of us did both!
The end result was not pretty. Those of us that behaved but had TOM lost but just barely. I know personally I lost about 6 pounds, but 5+ of that was re-lose from the tatter and TOM gain - so my week total was only 1.6. <sigh>
Kelli lost the most -
YEA KELLI! 
Angie and I tied for second place.
Kristina and Emmi tied for third place.
And then Denise.
Everyone else <g> had TOM but also went to Super Bowl parties. <g> In all fairness we also have had some incredible personal stress going on for some of our girls and others have been sick, etc. We all know how at the time a bag of potato chips or a carb overload sounds like a great idea when you need some comfort. But that is the last excuse I am making for my girls <g> because reality has set in, you all know food is NOT the answer, and it's time to get a grip and take your anger out in a workout or a power walk. (oh here's a great idea that none of us ever think about.... how about instead of eating *we* actually deal with the problem and how it is making us crazy? ) Food is not going to solve our problems, and in the end we are even more stressed because all our hard work was for nothing. PLEASE learn from my mistakes. You will be so sorry if you don't stop and get a grip now.... trust me on that one.
What else........
Oh I know. Great news, Ben is coming home! He will be home February 17th, 18th and 19th. He was in such a rush when he called last night so I'm not even sure if I have this information correct.... but he said that his class of 38 finished the first phase of school, 36 of them went on to another school.... he and one other guy are now in classes with men of much higher rank and he loves it. He also had to put in for which base he would like to end up at. He chose California first (military wives help me, where is that one?) Arizona second - I think Cherry Point next, or is that what the one in Arizona is called? fourth pick is East Coast, again don't know which one or where it even is - and lastly Hawaii and Japan. Which if I'm not mistaken if he re-ups he has to go to Japan at that time? I don't know - like I said he dropped a ton of important information on us in a very short amount of time and other then knowing he is happy, coming home and loving his new class - I don't know if I have any of it right. <g>
And Joey is coming home this weekend for his birthday! I will not have cake I will not have cake! Keep saying it girl, you just might believe it. 
My girl Sherry sent this to us this morning and I just want to share the best part of it with all of you. I don't usually get all mushy and sentimental about these kind of things, but I really liked this one and thought it was worth sharing.
Time passes
Life happens
Distance separates
Children grow up
Jobs come and go
Love waxes and wanes
Spouses don't do what they are supposed to do
Hearts break
Parents die
Colleagues forget favors
Careers end
But....
You're sisters, your girlfriends no matter
how much time and how many miles are between you
A girlfriend is never farther away
then needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on that valley rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes they will even break the rules and walk beside you..... or come in and carry you out.
The world wouldn't be the same without women,
and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other.
Everyday, we need each other still. Pass this on to all women who make your life meaningful.
I just did.
Look at me, look at me!
254 down another pound!
Four more pounds and I hit my goal of losing 25 pounds in this challenge. I am VERY happy about that.

Feeling Happy
Kids, Weigh in, My Mom
Let's talk about kids today.
True story -
Three year old Elly Kulesza was feeling a little antsy to say the least when her parents took her aboard an AirTran jet about to leave for Fort Myers, Florida for Boston. She immediately plopped down on the floor in front of her mother. When, at a flight attendants request, her mother tried to place the child in her own seat, Elly wiggled and squirmed and wailed......... and wailed......... and wailed some more. "I tried to console her and calmed her down." said her mother Julie. "It was a temper tantrum, and yes it was loud."
What happened next is the controversy of the week. Who do you side with?
The airline contends Elly would not remain seated with the belt buckled. The girls parents insist that she was indeed buckled in, although they admit she continued the tantrum. Both sides do agree that after the Jan 14th screaming fit, an agent order the entire family to leave the plane.
The family was offered a refund and had to wait a day for the next nonstop flight to Boston. But the real indignity, they say, came when they told their story to the local newspaper, anticipating an outcry against the airline. Instead there was an outcry against THEM. 90% of those responding to the story were in favor of the airline.
Elly's mom wonders why. "I just wanted to make the public aware that if you have small children, this could happen to you too. If there are parents that say their child doesn't have a tantrum, I want to meet them."
Now most of you have either already survived raising children through the terrible two's (which goes on for 16 more years with some kids ) or you are dealing with it now. So who's side are YOU on?
Now here is another "kid" question, this one is personal. But as always, do not tell me what I want to hear, tell me how you really feel.
The sperm donor calls me yesterday and I can tell by the heavy sighing that this is going to be another "your son did this" conversation. He starts by saying "I am so disappointed in Tony" and because he was SO deadly seriousand sounded like his very soul had been wounded, I thought for a brief moment OMG he found drugs on him or he snuck out of the condo when the ex was sleeping! - I braced myself for my entire life to change because surely whatever Tony had done, it was huge and completely out of character for him and nothing was going to be the same again.
I took a deep breath and sat down, reaching for cigarettes that haven't been there for over five years to calm my nerves. "What did he do?" I asked my voice shaking.
He starts with "Last night he thought I was sleeping...." OMG this is going to be really really bad. Dear God please don't let it be anything we can't get through. He goes on, "he thought I couldn't hear him playing his video game......." My mind is racing, did he finish his game and THEN he shot up with heroin? I frantically wondered. "he thought I was sleeping but I wasn't, and I could hear him yelling into the microphone "What's taking you guys so long over there, are you jerking off or something?!" And I barely comprehended what he said because I was waiting for him to get to the horrific part of the story that was going to flip my world upside down. "So what are you going to do about it?" he asked.
Oh shit, did I zone out and miss the part where he stole his dads car and went on a joy ride? Or that there is money missing out of his wallet? Or even that the phone company wants their $800 that Tony ran up on phone sex lines????
No, I didn't zone - that was it. That is what my alcoholic, bigoted, foul mouthed, unreliable, ass wipe of an ex husband was seriously overwrought about. Our 15 year old son who is now on the honor roll, has never given me ONE thing to stress over that was worse then a bad report card, who is respectful to all adults, holds down a "full time" job after school, helps me around the house, does chores, hugs and kisses me every single day and says "I love you Ma" - but heaven help us, when he plays video games and he is with his guy friends, he curses.
Am I completely crazy or has this man lost all touch of reality and is clueless about being a parent? Just like when he refused to see or talk to Joey when he dyed his hair years ago. Trust me, all my boys can have a foul mouth on them that makes me cringe if I happen to hear it, BUT my feeling on this is that they have never ever said those words to me, my honey, their father, a teacher or ANY adult..... so I pick my battles, and a 15 year old boy cursing (albeit VERY inappropriate) is just not on my list of things to go into battle over.
Who's right? And be honest, no siding with me just because you love me. <vbeg>
Hey btw, a new all time low in the "do over 9,654" - 255 today! Yea me!
Cupid's Lil FuCKIRs Heart Pounding Valentine's Day Challenge :
Oh I almost forgot, my Mom is fine. Her phone lines were down for 3 days and she didn't think it was that important to have to let me know somehow. <eye roll> I told her that she almost had the police at her door and that she WAS buying a cell phone. She agreed that when I fly down March 10th she would let me pick one out for her. Does anyone know what the absolute cheapest, bare bones phone and plan out there is?
Thanks everyone for all your advice and well wishes on my disappearing mother.
