I've heard that Lincoln/Kennedy thing before. It definitely gets you thinking sometimes don't it?
I haven't watched Oprah since I got married because my mom used to watch it alot. I like Dr.Phil. I know they're not the same but sometimes they collaide.
Yes I've never been a supporter on the Low Carb thing (I can't go w/o bread & pasta!) Stephen tried it though, not successful.
Don't get me wrong, I love my life right now, I just wish I could enjoy it. I don't know if you know what all PP depression consists of, I didn't until several months after Daniel was born (because I was in denial) I've just lost touch of "Me". I can blame my weight, or finances, or the fact that I don't have any time to myself, but the truth is its just me.
Stephen & I feel like if we focus on losing the weight I might have the ambition to work on the other things. DO NOT GET ME WRONG on this Stephen has absolutely been the greatest man, husband & father that you could ever ask for, or that I could have ever deserved. He doesn't care about my looks, he just wants me to be happy. I know he misses me. The passion, humor, sassy, unconditional, spontaneous etc. that I was (am inside). Its just this "wall"...(anyway before I get too deep or maybe cry)
I meant to tell you I liked your new home. I'm so glad yall are somewhere you can enjoy being. You seem very happy there.

Hi Sonya,
Thanks for your kind, encouraging comment on my site. Sorry it took so long for this reply to get to you, but guess what I did, I kept replying to you on my site! Boy, what a dummy I am, lol!! Anyway, hope you've had a good weekend. By the way, how did you get your small photo in beside your 'about me'? I've tried and tried and can't manage to do this. Same for the 'Links' that I can't get put on my site. I'd better ask a friend who knows more to help me next weekend. There's so much I don't know! I love your site and all the fun, interesting comments. Take care and have a nice evening. God bless! Annamarie
