Been awhile, But I am back

Not sure if any of you remember me but I used to post here until last June. I went off line awhile when we moved from Japan back to the US. It took us about 3 months to get our computer and other household items. After that I just don't have an excuse other than not wanting to face the cold hard truth that I gotta start eating healthy again. I haven't stepped on a scale since we moved and I don't think I want to know what it says. So here I am ready to get going again and looking for some inspiration. I see a lot of new names, several that are missing, and a lot of old ones. (and a few people that changed names???)

Just wanted to let you guys know I am here.

Hi Sharla -

I am a newbie since you were last here. Glad you came back. My sister in law was born in Korea. If you have any idea's on how the US Govt can give you a birth certificate please let me know!

Shawna-

Yes, you were the one I was confused about. I was pretty sure it was you, but I didn't see Dexter dancing on bottom so I had my doubts. Glad to see you are still around. I was told that 3 months is a long wait to get your stuff from overseas, but their main priority was Iraq. How can you argue with that? I have a bed or a soldier has his supplies. Although I complained a lot, it wasn't too bad. sharla

Hi, Not sure on that one. I got my baby's from the US Embassy. Then we went through Guam for the social security cards. I know that isn't much help.

Have a great day. sharla

I'm sorry to hear about Dexter. Maybe it will just take a while for pickles to warm up to you.

They provided us with a few cooking supplies and an ironing board. Other than that we had to fend for ourselves. We did give in and bought an air matress and a few bean bags. Cleaning was easy though. I just had to sweep once a day and the house was spotless. sharla

Welcome back, Sharla! I was wondering what happened to you :) I remembered you saying you were moving back to the states, but then we never heard from you after that. I'm glad you're getting settled now. It's nice to see you back here again :)
