Mariposa Bella

You know I was talking about this w/ Penni, I hate that I can't eat salads, I used to love them, now with the band, I can't eat them at all, what's up w/ that. I have no problems wolfing down pie or cake, but can't eat something that's healthy for me? go figure?

Just beautiful.

He is my band surgeon, he is in Reynosa, Mexico, he has a website, but its only in Spanish, he is fluent in English though. I don't have time right now, gotta go home, but I'll get in touch w/ you next week, okay.

Ali, if you have not have children, ps recommend that you do not get a tt until after you are done having children. I am past that stage so don't have to worry about that, my childbearing days are long gone. Thank God. I am having a tt in Mexico this summer, I will be having a tt, body liposculpture (lipo of upper & lower back, inner and outer thighs and arms and hips (back and front)) and fat injected into my butt to make it look rounder, all this is costing me only $6000. I am so looking forward to it. I am scared of the pain, so we'll see.

Look at your pm message, please!

you girls are aweful, leave the bunnies alone.

Okay, I looked it up and you know what I might suffer from that. Actually, I went to the post office today and they have this huge one way glass window that I hate to walk by cause I always catch a glimpse of myself and I never liked what I saw. Well guess what today, I saw myself and I can honestly say that I don't look fat anymore. Isn't that the weirdest thing. I have been fat for so long that the image of yourself does get distorted. Well anyways, I saw a friend of mine there and he told me how good I looked and that I have lost a lot of weight, It made me feel so awesome. Thank you, for making me take a look at myself and to change my mind about how I view myself. It is truly a different experience, thanks. I feel really good about myself right now, and I haven't felt like this in a long time. (I'm crying, go figure) Tks.

what is body dysmorphia???

Glad to hear you are doing okay. Rest up, and as any banster will tell you, sip, sip and sip some more.

I guess you didn't have insurance on it?? Sorry. I hate when crap like that happens. I recently switched from Sprint to Nextel and still haven't had time to transfer all my #'s, I just keep my old phone charged and look up a number as I need it, and save it then. I guess I need to take the time to copy each and everyone of them (too bad my old phone didn't have a sim card). Well, keep calling John and get Penni's # for me. Is Lake Wales where her daughter is living? I hope so. I hope she has time to see me. Thanks, DeLarla. Sorry about your phone.

I hope I can meet up w/ her, I'm really, really excited that I can meet a bandster. I hope we can all meet sooner or later. I guess your flying high then? I remember when I had my tubes tide, they gave me demoral (sp?) and man was that stuff good. Boy, was a feeling good.

Did anyone see Rob and Amber's wedding last night? Boy it was amazing, I wish I could have a fantasy wedding. I've gotten married twice and never have had a REAL wedding. The first time I got married, I was 17 and we had a small dinner party at my mom's house, I wore this horrible black flowery print dress (that was so tight, I could hardly breath), should have suspected that marriage was doomed w/ the black dress. And when I married my husband four years ago, I was 9 1/2 months pregnant w/ our daughter, so I wore a lovely lavendar meternity dress. We got married a Friday morning at the courthouse (no guests, just my daughter Bianca) and I went into labor the next day and delivered my little girl shortly after midnight the next day. So my anniversay is two days before Kiki's birthday. , I have never ever tried on a wedding dress, isn't that weird. I still to this day dream of getting married in a simple off white gown, with my hair pulled back and with fresh flowers in it. Someday, I hope that my husband and I can get married in the church and have my kids walk me down the isle and have my beautiful gown on. WEll anyways, Rob and Ambers wedding was so awesome, they are so damn lucky. Tell me did anyone see it? Wasn't is awesome, so let's all fly to Paradise Island in the BAhama's and let's have me a wedding. So are there any wedding planners on this board??? let me know...

That is great, but I would think that it hurts alot, especially in that sensitive area. Well, even though it looks fabulous, I'm still chicken..

I know that a normal person can't afford to do something that extravagant, that is why its even more magical, because we can live vicariously through them. Come on girl, admit it, your jelouse, cause I sure I know I am. Look at those two, so young and they already won the million dollars from survivor, they traveled the world on the amazing race, they were paid for the televising of their wedding, plus their wedding was paid for. And you know, that we will probably not have seen the last of them. I mean how much luckier can they be. I certainly have no darn luck, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. It is very unrealistic, but hey they were normal people before all their adventures began, so maybe there is hope for us. And I truly admire and respect you for being such a humane person and thinking how some of this money could be better well spent. But you know, somepeople own a piece of jewelery that is worth more than we will ever make in our entire lives, and all I can say is that they better feel blessed. All in all, we are happy, and those millionaires always wish they had more, and we always wish we could have more, its in our nature to want more. But lets have fun and close our eyes and dream big dreams....

Christina, don't stress, the reason I'm looking for Penni, is that she is headed my way and I want to go meet her. I'm so excited..I might meet Penni... (doing the happy dance)

Don't worry, I'm sure something good will come along to fill our void..

what picture?? where is it???

Thank you, thank you.......my condolenses for your cell phone loss. I know how you feel.

Well, DeLarla, our boy didn't win. But I'm not worried about it, I know he is a star and hope I can buy his cd soon. So DeLarla is he taking you for a ride in his new mustang?? I love the new mustangs, aren't they awesome, I was seriously thinking of buying one, but w/ three kids its not a very smart purchase for me, so I guess I can't get one. I'll keep driving my big darn mom mobile SUV. I used to drive a mustang when I just had my little girl and boy did I have fun w/ that car.

I always feel old, I am only 33 years old, but I feel so damn old. Three little kids will do it everytime. This week has been so busy, with year end graduations and all. My four year old graduated Tuesday morning from K3, so she is moving on to K4, my nine year old passed the fourth grade and had her year end program Tues night and she is headed to fifth grade. She got a trophy for A-B honor roll all year and got a ribbon for A in bible all year long. She is really smart, did really good all year. Hope she stays that way. She says she is going to be an attorney when she grows up. And everytime she complains of having to fold and put away laundry I tell her, well honey, if you do grow up and become an attorney, you can pay someone to come do your laundry for you, right??? Lord knows, I wish I could afford to pay someone to come do my laundry... But about the feeling old, I do feel really old, always tired, back is always aching, oh I'm so old.

I've heard of that stuff, save one of those for me, for a special occassion. Well, I am so so happy for you. I know how long you have been waiting for this. So get that back better, get your band and start working on that body Ms. January. So recuperate quick, so we can get back to working on our little project. I am doing the happy dance for you!!!!!

WOW, Jenna you look awesome, I wish my scars looked like that and my belly, he, heeee.

Oh how I wish that were true, but NO, it is still pretty big, I don't mean rounded and pretty, I mean, big, wide and flat. Yep, I have an elephant butt. And I have to correct my ticker, because I had gone back up to 159 and since I have been drinking my water this week, I've lost 1 lb, so I'm weighed 158 this morning. I have got to get off my butt and start excercising, but I can't seem to get motivated. What the hell is wrong with me???

I feel the same way DeLarla.

The winners of survivor and the second place winners of the amazing race this season.
