Morning girls~ Sus is better, what an amazing difference. She can eat and drink now!!! Jane, get the shoulder checked because it can become an arthritis issue, if it is not already. That is a dull ache, w/ periodic sharps of pain. Can't believe we will be toasting with each other one week from Thursday!!! xoxoxoxo

Once the GI doc showed up and "scoped" her, I heard the girl say, "THERE IT IS!" They push it down! We had friends over last night and she was eating, drinking, talking (like everyone does) and WHAMO...choke city! She couldn't lay in bed, had to sleep in recliner. Poor thing...literally carried a spit cup all day w/ her. We left the house at 7:30, and got home at 4:40...long crazy day!

Hey Girls~ I was going to start WW today, but spent 9 hours in the ER w/ Sus. Actually, 2.5 hours was in the urgent care, then they made her go to the ER. She had a large piece of meat stuck in her throat and couldn't swallow anything since last night about 7pm. She had to spit out her saliva...pretty bad. She is fixed and home. I had a salad at hospital...then left overs when I came home. so, tomorrow. off to check emails and Walden... c u tomorrow! hope Michelle and Haydee are having a GREAT TIME!

Hey Girls~ Slept in until 8...AAAHHHH! Now we are drinking coffee and watching the soaps, I LOVE SATURDAYS! Yes, the 35 are the "extra", so you never really feel like you are on a diet. They are for the margies, or wine ( I know that applies to you). I am starting tomorrow. We are having 3 couples over tonight for dinner. I already got this big piece of meat in the crocker now. I am looking forward to a relaxing evening w/ the girls! I agree w/ the tons of stuff to read ww. But we will get used to it. And I eat the same amount of cottage cheese, banana, granola each morning...so I'll learn the points. Off to start my day of leisure! xooxox

Where be all the people??? HELLO-O-O-O-O-

Hey Girls~ Been busy and am looking forward to a nice weekend. Sat night we are having 3 couples over for dinner and drinky poos!!! Putting a big roasty thing in the crocker, making German noodles, and a big salad, and The Deans! Haydee and Michelle may remember The Deans...Vodka, cran, splash of squirt!!! YUMMY!!! Other than that is Walden as a new term starts Monday, but students have already popped in. I start addressing 'em this weekend, then next week, it is easier. Sleep, reading, TV, friends, and my bestest girl...aaaahhhhh WEEKEND!!! I'll pop in later! xoxo

I paid $39 a month for the "monthly pass" w/ the etools. It is worth it, about 10 bucks a week for meeting and etools. I am just skimming now, wont start until Sun or Mond.

Have fun girls~ AHHH Laura, that is sad and sweet...enjoy it now before he starts to smell like a boy!:redface:

Hey Girls~ Busy day for me. I LOVED the WW meeting and will probably get started Sun or MOn...need to go to the store and stock up. Plus, I am having ppl over for dinner Sat., and cocktails are involved. I WILL attend meetings, and I will hopefully work out after school...it is hard, but I want to do it! pop in from work!!!

ok..worked my butt off but got the entire next term set up!!! Michelle, have fun!!! Enjoy your mom and sister!!! I am beat!

Hi ya'll~ busy busy trying to set up new classroom for Walden while the kids take the state test...pop in later!

Bachelorette weekend???? Missed that one. Judy, does that remind you of Gracie? What are you gonna do? OK...gotta wait til tomorrow for GLEE or the weekend, I am pooped! xooxox

Delo, you go daily? The mtg right by my house has mtgs on M and W...but there are others in the valley. I WAS going to work out after school, but now I can't. I am hoping to go to either the Mon or Wed mtgs at least once a week. I understand that the mtgs are key, especially for me. I have to shop etc still...so I am not quite there yet. My friends say to make snacks and food in advance...:scared2::thumbup:

registered for WW...thx delo!!! On my way, have you seen how good jennifer Hudson looks!

Delo, Thanks so much...I will do that now. And congrats on being so close to goal. Glad you jumped in and hope you do it more often!:scared2:

Yeah Laura on the weight loss. :scared2::Banane20::Banane20: No one noticed I GAINED a million pounds :wink:

LOL Laura, gotta grab the happiness where I can get it these days! I was thinking...since there is a break between wedding and reception, is anyone changing clothes? Also, what are ya'll wearing for the rehearsal dinner? Is that fancy schmancy too, or just the wedding?

Morning girls~ I agree w/ that diagnosis Michelle...poolside chillaxing will fix me fo' sho'. Last night was BAD. I was a raging bitch, crying, then nothing. She asked if I was depressed??? I've always been not a fan of hormone replacement, but I might NEED them to save my relationship, career, and sanity. I KNOW I am not myself...I actually think it has been going on a bit longer, but the last couple of weeks it turned up FULL speed. I am excited about the wedding. Have we worked out the details about the cars, etc? Do we know what our portion will be? Let me know. I have no aol at work, but you can text or pm me if you need me. OK...off to put my face on and make like a baby and...HEAD OUT! XOOXXO

I finished the book too, Big Girl, and I LOVED it. I am sad it is over and thought about her since. Wish there was a pt. 2. 2 THUMBS UP! I tried to text Judy from the doc and it failed to go through. I started to read the Melissa Etheridge autobio. So far it is great w/ a cool vibe about it...set up like a conversation w/ her. Well, I burst into tears in the doc's office talking about my hormones. She did a blood draw and wants to look at my levels first. She is going to push for hormone replacement therapy, which I am NOT a fan of. I guess, I need to do some research. She talked about quality of life, but said it could help w/ metabolism too, since dips in estrogen are directly related to slower metabolism. The gardener guy just left, so WW will wait until Wed., but I am going fo' sho'. OK...off to watch the soaps and Army Wives. xoxoxoxoxoxo

Thanks Mae, I know I will have trouble w/ some foods, but will just have to get my pts elsewhere. I can do oranges, salads (got a bit stuck today on my sal), zuccini, hate broc., but can eat about anything if I bite small enough...now just to bite the right things!

Hey Girls~ I think I am going to join Weight Watchers today or Wed. There are meetings near my house and I NEED HELP...short of stapling my mouth closed. Everyone does well on WW, and if you fall off the wagon w/ oh say, 3 margies...you just get right back on. I don't know...I SUCK AT THIS. Keep you posted. I am at 85% of Big Girl...I read it all weekend and I LOVE it! Sad it is almost over. I hate her parents. And give it two thumbs WAY up for anyone interested. I'd loan it, but I did the Kindle. OK...bbl

Morning girls~ I get to go to the doc today, gonna ask for bitch pills. And get my hormone levels checked too. OUT OF WHACK doesn't even cover it. Michelle~ love you sweetie. Glad you will be busy today! Everyone have a great day! xooxox

Michelle~ Your morning sounds loverly sweetie...so glad dh let you sleep in and gave you the morning off. I am also watching the Sunday morning show...want to see the thing on Oprah. Anyone going to read the Kitty Kelley biography on Oprah??? Just curious. I have to run to the grocery store in a bit...making a pork loin later! I have to drive to Palm Springs later and pay for the drywall...I told ya'll about the mold in my old house, right? UUUGGG In between, I'll be by the pool (most of the time under the patio in the shade) reading my book...LOVE IT!

Michelle~ big hugs sweetie. I remember when I put Chloe down...I cried ALLLL DAY, then the moment it happened, I felt peace. Never cried again. Laura~ That was beautiful. I loved reading it!! Me~ fat and miserable. Think I am having SERIOUS hormone issues...going on Monday to the gyn. Feel fat, bloated, fat and oh yeah...FAT! Moody, emotional and just a plain peach to be around. Plus, bad headaches this week, and a zit the size of Texas on my chin. Yeah...what a babe! Went to Macy's looking for wedding garb (just in case my "old" wont do). Bought two pairs of FIT FLOPS...kinda like the Shape Ups but in flip flop style. They are cute...bought 2 pair. Not cheap (60 each) but I like 'em, and they come in tons of colors too. Can't believe the tornado...or tornayda as they pronounce it...scary! I LOVE Big Girl...about 43% done (gotta love the Kindle). Looking forward to more later. Have a great Sat night! xoox

Michelle~ ooo sweetie, can't stand that you have to go through with this today. I've done it twice, and each time I was surprised by how I felt relieved after...they were both in big pain. I was very sad but glad it was over for them. I like what Laura said! Sending you lovelovelove "purple style". hugs xoxoox
