Tracy and Tracy, check out http://www.readymech.com/ The kids might like it.

TracyK, your duaghters new name is "Mini-Me". OMG, you could be twins. Pulling a double shift today. The girl who works the night shift is having a coloscopy tomorrow and is doing her prep today. I told her we had a bathroom at work, She gave me that look. LOL. Jane, Thinking of you. Thanks for the card. Kat, did you ever see "50 first dates" with Drew Barrymore. There was a seen where they went to the mental hospital and got introduced to a guy and his name was Ten-Second Tom, That's kinda what my sis is like, you tell her something and she will ask you again about it. Sometimes it's funny but it is really frustrating to her. I try very hard to not tell her she already asked. Ok, My day was just made. The new list of dancers was announced for "Dancing with the Stars". I love that show. Can Hector come and pick up my Sis and me and drive us to Bama??????? Everyone have a great day and I'm thinking of all of you.

Ok, Jim. It's a new week and now is a good time to get started. Up and At'em. You can do this.

Terry, A new Friend, Hector. :) :w00t: :tt2:

Up a little early this morning. Hubby and I have eye appointments at 8am. Pam, I'm so glad that Susanne is there to share this time with you. That you guy get the chance to lead a somewhat normal life. (school life is never normal, LOL) Can you have Susanne ship me some Goulash, I love that stuff. Michele, we are all getting older but it seems like the kids are just growing up faster than we would like them to. Kat, Good luck with the Hubby. A Big Thank You for all the e-mails. I don't think of my self as "Special" an "Angel" ETC. I'm just a person that has a job to do and I do it. I look at it as the path that God has sent me on and He's seeing how well I handle it. This is my Cross to bear. I do know one thing, I'm a better person for it. I have learned over the years to be a kinder more understanding person and I have found my peace with it. But Thank You so much for thinking of us and for keeping us in your prayers. Life goes on and I'm here for the ride. Laura, I was craving pickels dipped in chocolate, can you take care of this for me???????????

Here's a few pics from today. Abagail, my little cannonball girl. My niece Amy and the one in the blue hat is my older sister ML

So I go to the Home page and it looks like jeenaj221 likes to take a lot of pics of herself. LOL

Laura, that is so sad. That poor family. Watching closing of Olympics. They have said for days now that if you thought the opening was impresive, wait till you see the closing. So far, snooorrrrrrre. Hope it improves.

Jersey Freeze, that sound good. We have DQ and Sheridan's here. I sent an e-mail to your other address.

Is drinking 3 margarita's allowed??????

I just watched a 2 minute recap of the olympic games and it made me cry. I love all of those people and their dedication. Now if I could just put that much dedication into losing weight.

I just sent all of you an e-mail. If you didn't recieve it let me know and I will try it again.

Burnt to a crisp, my nose is so sore. You would think if you had a good tan that the sun couldn't burn you again. Well it can. Not sure if I'm going to do any pool time today. We'll see. Looks like I'm gonna tear my bedroom apart today and do a real good cleaning. Maybe even get rid of some clothes that no longer fit. I hate to part with them but it does make me feel better. Jane, last night Hubby and I went with the neighbors to go shot some pool and have a few drinks. I wore my new shirt and got all kinds of compliments. Thanks for helping me pick it out. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Judy, So excited for you about getting the heater. I promise you will love it, it will be so worth it. Denise, What beautiful little boys. I first noticed them sticking their tongues out too. That is too cute. Everyone have a great day. Hugs.

Jim, One of the things you said is one of the things I hear all the time. You said that you thought the Band ws going to be your answer. I hear that from a lot of people, that it's their cure for being overweight. I just look them straight in the eyes and tell them that they better go back to one of the informational meetings and start all over. They will tell you that this is a TOOL. I'm so glad that you are finding that out. I use my tool 24 hours a day. It's one of the hardest struggles but with my tool I know that I will be a winner. I'm in this for the long haul. I've had some good talks with my Doc and he is so supportive. Not just of me but with all of his bandsters. We adore him. I'm coming up on my 3 bandiversary and even though I have not reach the weight I wish I would be at, I'm happy with what I have lost. I love the compliments I get. The surprized looks on their faces when thay haven't seen me for awhile. My heart shines with pride. I had to renew my license last month and I was shocked when I saw my new picture. I just stared at it, not sure what happened to me. Jim, I have faith in you, you have come a long way and I know you will complete your journey. I too have not posted here in a while but I will from now on. Like you I can use all the support I can get. I hope that with everyone here that we can all support each other. Have a great day.

Kat, Congrats on making your goal weight. That has to be so exciting. Sorry your not feeling well, did you try sipping something warm? Maybe that will get some of the swelling down. TracyK, You are in my prayers. Hope that what ever it is that is going on will become better for you. Just got home from work and will wait a little while for the sun to pop out some more before I head to the pool. Need to get some more exercising in, need to make up for the handlefull of oreo cookies I just ate. Everyone have a great weekend and will talk at you soon.

Up early this morning, have to go into work for 3 hours. We swam most of the day yesterday but waiting to see what the weater is going to be for today. Got lots of exercising in. I did most excellent on my eating yesterday. Today should be a good day also. Lots of fruit and I bought some red, yellow and orange peppers the other day. So we will most likely be using the outside grill tonight. Everyone have a great day.

Up and getting ready for work. I have another busy day ahead of me. Slept wonderful last night but didn't stay up late to watch Olympics. Have to workout extra hard today to make up for the movie popcorn yesterday. Need to change the CTCD from Thursday. That's my only day off. Everyone have a great day.

You can take me off the list for the "Reunion", turns out I won't be able to make it. You guys have a great time and post lots of pics.

Haydee, I have watched that show and I would be ashamed if I saw myself acting like that. Those girls are horrible. I feel so sorry for the guys who are getting them.

Jane, I didn't get a text either-so we are in good company. Just got home from our shift. We were really busy tonight. 13 surgeries today. That's alot. They were still operating when we left. Kat, can I have your wood? I was thinking earlier today about calling the guy that cuts our wood for us and see if he could get us a load by October. We use our fireplace alot.At least 2 cords a winter. Jenn, have a blast tonight. TracyKS, glad to hear that it wasn't cancer but sad to hear about the RA. That's no fun. Don't they have bras that you stick in the microwave for a minute to heat up? Kind of a short day tomorrow. I have to take Sis to her Doc's appointment in the morning than to do her grocery shopping. She seems to be holding her own here for awhile. Hope that last.

Just got back from Sam's Club and than we went to Lunch. The person I went to lunch with had the gastric-bypass about 7 years ago. She did wonderful and lost about 90 pounds. She has since gained back about 70 of it. She is miserable. There are a few side affects from the surgery and she has to deal with them for the rest of her life. That and gaining back most of the weight has made her a very unpleaseant and unhappy person. I don't blame her either. Back when they were real big on doing this surgery they didn't have any support for their patients. That is what I like about my Doctor. I get to see him when I can, His staff is the best, he has a website and chatroom. Almost anything we need we can get from them. To bad the older by-pass surgery people didn't get all that support. It pains me to see her in all the physical and emotional pain. But she tells me it does her a world of good to spend time with me. We went to a salad bar place by her today and she was amazed at it. She said she didn't know it was there and she was surprized at all the good selection of healthy food. Little at a time I'm going to help her. Now if I can get her to start doing some walking and some other form of exercise which she is lacking. Bless her little heart. So, I had Oatmeal for breakfast. A salad and fruit for lunch and now we are on our way to do our shift at the hospital. I'll let you know what dinner was then. I have to fast the rest of the night. I have labs in the morning. See ya later.

Home from my morning shift and Wally-World. Just finished my oatmeal and getting ready to head back out. Busy day and week for me. TracyKS, Hoping that all went well last night. Keep us posted. I wish I knew what to say or do to make things better or easier for you. I hate that things aren't running smoothly, especially in your first year of marriage. I will keep you in my prayers. How was the first day at school? Jane, I put on the green blouse last night and went and showed hubby, I was surprised but he really really liked it. Shock. I guess I was thinking that because he always sees me in t-shirts, that he wouldn't care for that style. He really liked it. I'm so excited and can't wait for my first time to wear it out. I have a coupon for Macy's for 20% off, think I'll go look at what they have. See what you have started. I miss you and can't wait till all 3 of us get together. Everyone have a great day.

Oh great, Now I have morning sickness. :thumbup:

Kat, Who is this person that is following you? Maybe they need to be outed, tell us who it is....
