Description from Chicky ChaCha: Just in another goofy mood! Actually I am trying to help myself get motivated to lose some weight so thought this was kind of a funny way to maybe do that. Beading is usually a happy thing to do so thought I would put this together to remind me to get motivated. Bead & be happy or Eat and not be happy! Beads end up on my ears and wrist and neck not on my HIPS!

Leigh D says:LOL – I hear you – Beading keeps your mind occupied so you don’t think about all of the goodies calling from the fridge!

K H says:Ah, the bead diet – I have been know to skip lunch so that I can take my lunch money to the bead store!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Beading keeps my hands busy so I can’t eat!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:oooh, LOVE this pick, Chicky ChaCha! And your title is the greatest! I’m with you – if I’m beading, I’m not eating – great way to lose weight! I just need to bead more often…

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:BTW, I was ROTFLMAO at the GGP flying pig!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:You know, if we really rolled on the floor and laughed, could we really laugh our a**es off? A point to ponder…..
On Sep 10, 2009 at 12:10 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:OK, a question. Do they call them “hippos” because they have big hips or was that going to be their name anyway and they just happened to end up with big hips?

Kitty Chicky Cat says:ROTFLMHO!

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Lynn, you are on a roll tonight – which, i guess, saves a lot of calories! That is, if you don’t eat it first…
On Sep 10, 2009 at 12:18 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:The roll, that is!
On Sep 10, 2009 at 12:45 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:If you put a roll in front of me, I will eat it, Sue. I promise.
When I was pregnant with Suzanne, back in the Stone Age, I craved bread products. All her life, Suzanne has been a “bread-a-holic.” She will pick a restaurant for eating out based on the type of bread they bring to your table. Why she doesn’t weigh a ton is beyond me. LOL She is actually a very slender, lovely young woman with 3 little girls under the age of 4 years and works full-time outside of the home. Maybe that’s her secret — she has no time to eat!

Lynn, you kill me…very funny conversation! Have you ever thought of becoming a stand-up comedian??!
On Sep 10, 2009 at 11:29 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Hi, Elaine! Thanks for the compliment!
How are you doing today?
On Sep 10, 2009 at 11:46 am #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Very pretty Pick!!!
Do you suppose my husband would believe I have found a better diet than Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, so it’s OK for me to spend more bead money???
Congratulations and encouragemnt to all our chicks trying to lose weight!!! I am on the same wagon, and have lost 9 lbs. so far. Slow but, steady…sure takes a long time to take it off. I just want my health to be better, and that means I need to do this.
I have also noticed that when I bead, I am too busy to snack, and sometimes forget to eat meals. Hmmm….maybe that is something to pursue.
On Sep 10, 2009 at 11:50 am #
Chicky ChaCha says:Thanks for all the kind comments! You just gotta love the Chicky LE and her wit! I think she might have to be a stand up comedian too or maybe a stand up COMBEADIAN??? I am so proud of meself—one of my fresh picks is on sale today.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Harriet, congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!!!

On No Lynn aka Tortured Artist aka Combeadian aka Super nice person; watch it girl…your titles will soon be bigger than your bead stash!!!

On Sep 10, 2009 at 12:05 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Hey, that’s a good idea about the script, CC! I might just say, “But all the other Chickies husbands are letting them…..”
On Sep 10, 2009 at 12:06 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:A title bigger than my bead stash…..that would be very impressive indeed…..LOL
On Sep 10, 2009 at 12:11 pm #
Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Love it! Let’s see, I would need to start the tape first, then tell him my idea, then…. LOL

Yorkie chick aka CC says:Harriet, Lynn; we know we’re loosing the conversation if the words…”If Every other Chick jumped off the roof……
