Default A quick hello from the bear

Hey gang. I just wanted to write a quick note and let you all know that I am doing fine. I just had my three month check up. I am down 75 lbs. I have had no complications or issues. The weight is still coming off, though I see plateaus at times. I know I owe you all a better post than this, but I am at work at my NEW JOB! Yes, I said new job! And of course there will be funny things to tell, but this is not the best time. For those of you that have called me and wondered why I did not return your calls.. I accidently washed my cell phone in the laundry. Good news.. it is clean.. bad news.. it does not work. So that is another story, that I will share when I write more because you know with me there always has to be some colorful adventure associated with it.

I miss you all tons!

*hugs*
Jeff

Default Whew~

I can stop worrying about you now --- Congrats on the NEW JOB! Can't wait to hear details and the stories... and I'm sure there are a few!

My son's cellphone took a bath with their 3 year old... guess she wanted to do business from the tub... why do cellphone have to be so sensitive to water???

Good hearing from you BBJ... missed you!

Default Yay!

Yay, Jeff - congrats on the new job! I was one of those washed-away callers and was starting to worry, so I'm glad to know you're well and gainfully employed. I've been hoping you'd get a job modeling Speedos in the Caribbean (or should I say "Bearibbean"?) - it that your new gig?
