Welcome to LBT! You are definately doing good with your band!

Thank goodness they found it before they sent you home! I hope you are feeling much better now.

Hi Paula, I have been thinking about you alot. I am glad you checked back in and let us know you are o.k. Are you settled back in your home? Please let us know how things are for you, did you get much damage? You have been missed girl! I hope you start posting more often now. Hugs!

Pam what a great job you have done! I hope you did something very special for yourself.

Happy belated Birthday! For some reason I just missed this thread! I sure hope you had a great one!

Good Morning Y'all! It is beautiful here this morning, I just finished my walk and it was really nice. I did get to go riding this weekend, and I had a good time. I also went to the neighbors for dinner Saturday night. After I passed on DB invite, the next door neighbors called and DH accepted the invitation. Needless to say I didn't stick to the rules very close! My eating went fine, it was the extra drinks I had that killed me. Oh well, I guess I am just living normal huh? I did still drop two pounds so I guess I won't bi*ch too much! Weekends kill me! Karla - Yes, it was in the 80's this weekend, and very nice. I hope you are resting, get healed up and don't do more than you should even if you feel like it. It sounds like you are doing great! Pat - I too would like to hear about the she-crab! I haven't heard that one before either. I am finding out that I have to try on everything lately that I buy. The sizing is the worst I have ever seen, each brand seems to fit differently! UGH! Eileen - I agree with the gas/heating bills, there is absolutely no reason for this to be happening. The last I heard anything here is that Gov. Perry made a deal with TXU to only (yeah like that is low) raise it 20% now and wait to raise the other in April. Well, that is just in time for the air conditioning to start getting used a lot here. Anyone can take a look at the profits those companies are making and know we are getting took. I shouldn't even get started on this subject, it really makes me mad! I know what you mean about companies giving you something like a picnic. Hey, give me the money and forget the picnic! Enjoy your hamburger, at least you can eat one now before the surgery. I think that is great that you get 4-6 weeks off! You'll be thinner before you go back too! Beanie - I can't believe how hard it is to plant things here because of the ground. Heck, the digging alone wears you out. Each time you take a shovel full of dirt you have to pry it off the shovel. And, that isn't counting how hard it is to get that shovel into the ground to start with. I can tell you that after you get the band and lose some of the weight, it will be easier to work out there though. I couldn't believe this spring how much easier it was for me, pulling weeds and planting. I hope you sat in a hot bath and felt better, although I think the massage sounds better yet! Give that insurance company a call bright and early this morning, make them give you an answer! Cindy - Whoooo Hooooo! I know you are excited. It feels so good when you break a milestone like that! You are doing great! :banana :banana Great NSV on the new size pants too! Now, do something special for yourself today!

That was so cool!

Good Morning Y'all! Beanie, I know how frustrated you must be! I don't know why everything has to be so hard. Come Monday, pick up that phone and call and if they won't give you any answers ask to speak to the supervisor, sometimes that is all it takes. Eileen, I am glad your test went so easy! I too always head straight for the coffee, I can't seem to get myself moving till I have that first cup. I bet you just can't wait for your date to get here, nerves and all! I'm glad the rain has stopped for you. DH just called and he is on his way home from work. He is ready to go riding for the day, the call was to let me know to be ready! lol He told me he would probably be working for a while today, I know he is happy he didn't have to. My DB called and wanted us to go out to eat with them, I am still debating if I want to go. Everytime I go out with them I seem to eat all the wrong things, and it messes me up bad. I think I might pass and just eat at home today. Tomorrow I am going to put some chicken, ribs, and turkey in the smoker. I love doing the smoker thing because then I only have to worry about fixing a quick side dish to go with the meat. Of course I always have to throw a tater on for DH! Tonight is Nascar racing, so we will be watching that. I like Jeff Gordon and he likes Earnhart, so both of our racers are out already. I think we both would like to see Ryan Newman or Jimmie Johnson to win now. Anybody else a Nascar fan? I am also ready for the NBA to start, and yes the Mavericks are my team! Go Mav's! I guess I better get dressed, catch y'all later!

Men seem to loose faster than women! It's not fair either!

My doctor says liquids the remainder of the day and solids the following day.

Whoooo Hoooo! I am happy for you! You are so close, you'll be there before you know it. Give yourself a nice treat (no food) you deserve it!

Good Afternoon Y'all! Well, this morning I decided I had enough computer work and housework so I took the day and went shopping. (Fun shopping, no groceries at all) I got some new pretty underware for myself! (Bras and panties) I tried on some new shoes, but couldn't find anything I liked. I am not too crazy about the new styles of shoes that are out now. I also tried on some new jeans, but decided to wait for a while longer on them. I just walked, looked, touched, and had a good time. Then I got home and decided I still didn't want to sit around the house, so I jumped on the Harley and went for a long ride. It is such a beautiful day here today, and it was perfect for riding. I have to say a gal riding by herself on a big harley turns some heads! It is quite fun riding by yourself! I think we will be doing a lot of riding this weekend, DH said this morning he is ready to go! He'll appreciate that I went today. Rene - Any word yet? I'll keep my fingers, eyes, toes, legs, etc. crossed for you! I have lots of flower beds to play in too, but for some reason it just doesn't sound fun to do this weekend. I love working in them though. DH isn't much on working in the flower beds, so it's a big project for me. Eileen - Good luck with your tests tomorrow. At least it is early and you won't have to suffer all day long. It sounds like y'all might start drying out soon! Here you are getting all the rain, and we can't seem to get any here. It has been a very dry season for us. Some of the towns around us have gotten a little, but where I live it is dry, dry, dry! I even had to add water to the pool yesterday because it got so low, and we seldom have to do that! Ok, time to move some more, so everyone have a great weekend! But, I'll probably be back here before then.

Congrats! I can hear the excitement in you post!

I say it is going to work! I just have that feeling!

Good Morning, errrrrrrrr afternoon to y'all! lol I guess the time got away from me! I went walking this morning, then came home and went shopping. I just got home and put things away, (I hate putting it away, just love buying it) and of course had to run in here and check the computer. lol I had every intention of going to the farmer's market this morning, but I got home too late. Bummer! Eileen - I will keep my fingers crossed that you DH doesn't get any more Water in there. Are you expecting much more rain? I'll send you some of this sunshine we are having right now so get ready for it! So, what did the insurance company say? I hope it is good news! Rene - You will have to post that letter and let us see how you tell them off! I bet it is a good one! Well, off to get the rest of my stuff done, or at least started! Catch y'all later!

Hi Y'all! I had to do billing today, so was pretty busy. It is a beautiful day here today, but I am stuck inside. Rene - I am sure you will get them to change their minds! Sounds like you are on a roll girl! Get er done! Eileen, I really hope y'all don't have too much flooding. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I sure feel bad for everyone that is going through all this. Cindy - Hey girl, just smile and you will make it a special day!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...... It all sounds so good!

Welcome to bandland! I am so happy it went so easy for you! It actually gets better each day!

Yup Super Daddy you are right! Dear, Damn, Darn, what ever you want it to be husband. There is a list on here of the abbreviations, I'll try to find it and bump it for you.

Welcome to bandland! Post when you can and let us know how you are.

Sorry to hear you are having problems. Hopefully it was just something you ate. How are you feeling today? Please give us an update!

I think it looks great! I love the outfit too!

I gave up chips and salsa the first of October. I love them, but they were really getting the best of me. I haven't had any since the 1st, even though we had Mexican on Saturday. I have to admit, I picked up one and dipped it, then I actually handed it to my DH. Whew, that was a close call! If I ate the first one, I would have definately had a whole lot more!

Welcome to bandland!

Hello y'all! I am still fighting with this computer! UGH I am hoping since it was up and going this morning that they might have fixed it, I sure hope so. Rene - did they tell you what kind of trial it was going to be? Karla - Welcome to bandland! Let us know how you are doing when you can. Eileen - Did you get to go shopping? I have been craving some bread lately too, but it is the one thing I don't eat. Once in a while I will take a taste of the crust if it is toasted etc. I miss garlic bread most of all, or a nice subway sandwich. lol Do you see many bears? I would be scared to walk early like that too! I'm glad you didn't get any of the flooding. Gosh, we have had so much happen to people this year.
