Jump roping is fun but house shaking...not so much. I was shoveling earlier for my exercise lol. Then I used our newly fixed snowblower. I must say after snowblowing for the first time, I will never shovel snow again. OMFG I cannot believe I was missing the easiness of this fantastic machine. I may not have to move to Arizona after all.

Poop on snow and ice. We have gotten about a foot since last night and it is still coming down strong. I wanna move to Arizona.

I can't believe that show is still on lol.

Dang it....meant to post in R&R

Oh and I managed to score 4 Hannah Montana tickets. And I ran 7 miles. Guess it has been a good day.

I got my Secret santa gift today!!!!!!!!!! Someone in Florida was busy doing something other than butter churning. Are we waiting until we all get them or are we opening gifts?

This is the best thread. And the best people. I heart all you biking bitches.

She's still preoccupied....with 19, 19, 1985. Sorry I love that song.

I heart chocolate. I hope we get a suite. That depends on how things pan out. Right now I have a few good leads. Speaking of Hannah Montana, there was this party at Korrine's school today that the 5th graders did as a fundraiser. It was a "Hannah Montana PArty" and cost $7 for the kids to go in the gym and watch some episodes and listen to music. So anyhow I had forgotten all about it. I went to pick the kid up from latchkey and she is sitting there eating her snacl with her head hanging down. I ask what is wrong and her eyes fill up with tears. I am about freaking out at this point. I ask her again what is wrong and she says " you forgot about the Hannah Montana party, they came in and called everyones name to go and I wasn't on the list" and then she burst into tears. Needless to say they let her in and took my $7 at the last minute.

D I might break my own fingers.

They are a hard addiction to break. And damn delicious. I am trying to find the dark chocolate mint kit kats that were out last year. Now those were to die for.

Damn the Hershey comapny for coming up with the Mint Truffle Kisses.

Her actual name is Miley Cyrus (you remember achy breaky heart...his kid) and she is on a Disney show called Hannah Montana which is about a girl who is a pop superstar (Hannah Montana) but lives as a "normal" kid (Miley) and no one in her normal life knows she is really Hannah Montana other than her closest friends. Anyhow it is a huge show with the young ladies and she is out on a musical tour singing her songs from the show and some of her own songs. My daughter loves her and has been watching the show since it came on the air. Hannah Montana - Disney Channel

One that really stands out lately for me is that I don't like pushing the "open door" buttons at the hospital with my bare hands. I have gotten shocked a few times from them so now I always have to use a piece of cardboard, my clipboard, a pencil, or anything else handy because I am freaked out to touch them. People probably think I am some sort of germ phobe since I won't touch these huge metal buttons. And since I work in the OR there are tons of these buttons to open every single door around here.

I starting gaining major weight at about age 9. I don't think they size you start out at or how long you have been fat really dictates how successful you are going to be. Now I think it definitley plays a part in whether or not you will be needing surgery afterward. But I think the single most important factor is how ready you are for the surgery. If you are looking for a quick fix, you are not going to be as successful. If you are not willing to put a lot of effort into it, you are not gonig to be as successful. You definitely get out of it what you put into it. I often say getting this band was the hardest thing I have ever done (the whole process, including now, not just the surgery itself) but it is the best thing I have ever done. I have worked my ass off for every single pound I have lost. I have improved my eating, I exercise daily, I take better care of myself. But what my band has done for me is keep my weight off when I need a break. When I am tired of exercising, when I am tired of healthy food, when I just need a break from losing weight, my band helps me to keep off the weight I have lost. It helps me maintain. And I don't think it has anything to do with how fat I was or for how long, it has everything to do with the fact that this time I am ready to keep it off for life.

TX, try dry skin brushing and contrast showers. You need a long handled natural bristled skin brush. Before you shower scrub your dry skin with the dry brush for about 5 minutes total. Start at your feet and work your way up brushing toward your heart. For the showering you do three minutes hot as you can stan and one minute cold as you can stand through your entire shower. I know it sounds nuts but after you get used to it, it is very very refreshing. These things are supposed to help with circulation which is supposed to help with your skin. You can google "dry skin brushing" or "contrast showers" for more info. My belly now looks like a butt but I started off pretty damn large and in charge. Jenn sometimes it takes like 2 weeks for the fill to really kick in. When is your next appointment? I am so in for a road trip to TX. Oh and Jenn I gots to talk to you about those Hannah Montana tickets. I have yet another source to possibly get us a suite. Maybe I am overly confident about getting tickets but oh well. Now we just have to figure out how we should tell the girls. I think we should tell them together in some sort of surprising way.....

And a merry fucking Christmas to you too =)

I wish they would post the days too. Congrats on the school thing!

Hey Steph this is how we all ended up meeting the first time. It was just a "what if" situation that we turned real. We are some crazy bitches lol. Plus I have never been to TX before so that would be pretty sweet.

Would it be in poor taste to go child free? Not that I dislike my kid or anything lol. We could totally swing to Chicago for the muddy buddy and just keep driving South and stop in Texas for some burned chicken.

I dunno, I think a car trip could be fun. Especially since we can bring bikes that way. And I hate flying lol.

About 1200 miles/18 hours from Detroit to Forth Worth.

I am always down for a road trip.

Is it sad that the best news I have heard all day is that Hannah Montana is coming back to Detroit for a second concert?

I think I spend a lot less money now than I did before because I would just throw crap into the cart. I use a list now and plan my meals 2 weeks in advance. For 5 people (including treats for the rest of th family that I don't touch) I can get 2 weeks worth of food for under $150.
