Hi everyone... Friends coming over today to swim and I need to go over the checkbook and reciepts :thumbup: Macys party is gonna be great but it sure is expensive. The things we do for our kids. :thumbup: Next year it will be smaller (i hope). Angela-how is the new system at work going? Smoother i hope?! There is not really much to say other than have a fantastic day and I will be back later to talk more. Thanks ya'll...

Hey guests, watchers, friends...chime in.... join us! We would LOVE to have you!

I have been thinking today and especially after reading what Kat said about her own snooper, i will say what i want to my friends right here...no PMs for me! :thumbup: I haven't heard anything from the dr office yet about the insurance requirements...hopefully I will soon. I know I will have to prob jump through hoops but I am ready to start jumping, ya know? Well, we got all of the gift bags ready for Macys b-day party. That is a huge relief!! Michelle-thank you for your support! Have fun visiting your mom! Kat-thanks for the info about the mods. In a way I am kinda scared to talk too much about my new procedure on LBT, ya know? After all it IS LapBand Talk. Suzanne-it is now Deer Park TX and not Pasadena. I was looking forward to being in the big house and having drinks where my bar was but guess what, we still have a blender here at my little apartment, so there!! Angela-what is a quarter round? I hope that is not a stupid question, lol. Have a good one everyone!

Hey Homies...I will either e-mail or PM my friends from now on about what is going on with me and private issues for now. Seems there are people that want to know, but do not really care about ME so, I will just cut them out of the equation. Kinda pisses me off actually but it is what it is. I just wish I could talk to my friends without being stalked. I mean, why would they care now, ya know? (Janie, I don't mean you ) Kat-can moderators read PMs? I just got a better idea, I will just send you all FB messages (or e-mail if you do not have fb) if you want to be updated, ok? Just let me know. I wish it did not have to be this way. Anyway, on a brighter note... Good morning everyone. Lots to do today...bringing Macy to get stuff for her gift bags for her friends, then to the movies (i think) to see cats & dogs. I wanna see dispicable me but she wants to see cats & dogs so...you know how that goes, lol. Macy wants to go swimming today too. So, we are gonna see how much we can jam pack into one day. Macy found a diff cake than Titanic (thank God). She wants a cupcake cake that is pink & purple with a tiara and a magic wand. :wub: Now THAT is doable! I will check in with you all again later. Gotta go!

Cindy~that is aweful about the insurance! :wub: Sorry to ehar about that! Franks ex will be having to add dsd to her insurance soon. She just turned 16 as well! I love the new corollas, btw!

Good morning!!! Well....I am about to get dressed & head out to somewhere I never thought I would go again...THE seminar. I have mixed emotions and my stomach is in knots and I feel like I am going to throw up....other than that, its all good. I will make an appt to see the dr but at least the required seminar will be over. Who knows, maybe someone might cancel and I will get to see him today? who knows... It will be fun to see all of those excited faces full of hope in there like I was at one time. Maybe it may be a trigger for me. I hope so. I will post again later. Have a great day!

Good morning everyone! Kat-that sucks hearing that ds is not keeping in touch! Even when you expect that sort of thing, it still hurts when it happens! Angela-8 o'clock on a sunday morning? LOL....i don't know why i find that funny. I guess because it is YOU and not me! Poor thing! Jennifer- i had no idea you were such a floosy! lol j/j I am like you, I have men friends. I worked in the oilfield for 20 years. When frank and I got together i told him that they are like my family and he is gonna have to deal with it, and he has been great. He knows he is my sweetheart. Everyone-my neck is no longer hurting. yay! Yesterday while we were running errands we were in my van. it has an electric sliding door in the back. I opened it for macy to get in and frank pushed the button too...macy got stuck while getting in and it was crushing her knee. She has a bad bruise this morning. The door DID automatically open back up but it seemed to take forever and I was trying to pull her out. It was scary and it was chaos. The screaming and crying is something i will never forget. I did not know if it was going to start opening or if it was going to break her leg. Quite traumatic for all of us. UPDATE-Instead of going on the 21st of August to the seminar (for bypass) I am attending the seminar tomorrow since it is required. Than I will make an appt to speak with the dr since he is booked after the seminar. I am looking forward to seeing my dr. I am excited about the whole thing. Even if the answer is no, i feel like i am getting the excitement back that I need to start over. God knows what he is doing and it is in his hands. Just wanted to keep ya'll posted. I posted on facebook that macy wants a Titanic (movie)themed cake complete with Jack and Rose. Kat had some good ideas. I may run over to the bakery tomorrow and see if I can get them to make me one without breaking the bank. If not, it is OK, she found a cake that she likes at walmart and it has a tiara and a magic want on cupcakes. Cute cute. She will be ahppy either way but I would love to surprise her with what she really wants. Well i just got off the phone from talking to my friend and she and her daughter are coming over for the day (they are pouring concrete at her apartment) so I need to get off here check fb beofre they get here. Have a super day homies

Good morning all- Neck is still a little sore but not near as bad, thanks everyone! Sorry to keep it sort but lots & lots to do today. Paydays are that way, lots of errands and shopping to do. :cursing: Love ya'll!! Have a fantastic day!

Angela-does that sister live locally? Sorry about the drama! Jennifer...stop that. Just STOP THAT! Dont make me come up there and smack you around! I wish I could give you an ounce of MY attitude. I wish I could bottle it up and sell it...i could get rich! Call anytime. :cursing:

OK...I am so excited to have a new Sturgis shirt :scared2:

Kat-I am going to mail you some money today for a t-shirt, ok?!

Jenn-I am so glad that dd is going to follow her heart and she has YOU to thank for it. I love forensics. How was your time with George over the weekend with George? When he was around you prob did not even think about Kev as much as you are now. Dive into something to try and keep you mind from even going there. I am so worried that you are fragile and will get stuck in a funk again. (yes I am a worry wart) I miss you so much. Did you decide what to do with your voucher?? Kat-how are your in-laws? Do you hear much from ds since they moved? Everyone-thank you so much for the encouraging words and well wishes as far as my decision to try for the bypass. The chances are really good that the answer will be NO, but I will not know unless I try. I am going to go to the counseling sessions as well. Even if the answer is no I will go to the sessions because I need to do something to kick start my brain lol. I have been doing alot of praying on this subject and have put it in the Lords hands. I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me. I woke up this morning and have a horrible pain in my neck (not dh, :lol2: ) so I must have slept wrong. I took something for it so maybe it will start feeling better shortly. I put chicken thighs in the crockpot with some spices and Tonys Roux mix. My house smells SO good this morning. About to go swimming a little bit so I am going to get off here. Have a great day ladies! Suzanne-LOVE YOU SISTA!!!

goodnight ladies...sleep well :scared2:

Make sure you get some protein!! You might see more hair falling our but that goes stops. I remember at first i was not that hungry either. Oh, and try to get Fiber too because alot of people tend to get plugged up . Not pleasant. :ohmy: I am so happy for you (i know i have said it over and over, but only because it is true!)

Thanks Angela! Who did his revision?

Happy birthday Michelle

ouch

Thanks Jenn...that means more than you know. I would never leave....ya'll are my friends and are stuck with me. I can't even believe you said that!

OK ladies....I did something today that I have been thinking about doing for a long time. I called my band dr today and got info on how to get the ball rolling towards having gastric bypass surgery. I gave them my new insurance nformation and it is still Aetna, which did not pay for the band BUT we pay for a better policy now so maybe it will make a difference. They are going to call my insurance and see what we need to do to prove it medically necessary. It seems that it would be obvious of why it is necessary, but we all know how that goes. I wish I had UHC. Anyway...i need to attend the seminar (again) and then see the dr at the seminar. The next seminar is the 7th of July but that is the day of Macys b-day party so I am attending the one on August 21st. Please send good vibes and prayers this way for a YES for me on this procedure. I am so nervous...

Good morning everyone... wow, I cut my long fingernails last night and now I feel weird typing. I can go faster. lol What is on everyones agenda today? Today is a recoup from the weekend day for us. Have a fantastic day everyone! Btw....my dsd accepted me and dh back as friends on fb. wow....we were speechless. Hope it isnt because her b-day is next week. Whatever reason, we'll take it and keep praying God works wonders in her life :smile2: be good everyone! :bolt: Terri...how are you?

Have a great night everyone!! :Yawn:

wow, did not realize i had been away from here for so long. I read alot and wanted to comment alot but now...ummm, i cant remember everything i wanted to say. LOL I will post again later when my head is straight. We had a new water park open up and we went today with some girl scout families. We had the best time ever! My head still hurts from the sun. Gotta run :bolt:

Jenn-wtg with the safety courses. They look great on a resume! That is a really good thng to be doing. The more certificates and training courses you have under your belt the better! Of course he misses youtoo...goofball. Did you think he wasn't going to? Enjoy your day with him! Hi everyone! Went to the circus last night. It was OK. Macy wanted to go to sleep if you can imagine that! Everything was so expensive. We got a 12 dollar sno-cone and a 10 dollar program (just examples). Unbelievable! what is everyone up to this weekend?? Be Safe!

Good morning everyone~ Kat-that is just scary. I doubt that it is your ex, but calling just to make sure is a great idea! Sounds like kids that are very bored since school is out. Hope they catch them soon. Especialy since they have weapons now thx to your stupid neighbor...ugh! I have one word for you...rottweiler. :biggrin: or at least a beware of dog sign. How would they know if it were a lie or not? I know if I were the criminal I would not think it was a lie....at least I would not tempt fate, ya know? Terri-congrats on the surgery! SO happy for you. I had a little gas pain but not much. walk around as much as you can! Suzanne-for some reason I am not burning this year. I guess it is because I have been so careful about putting on sunscreen. I have been using 70, and not reaaplying after getting int he pool. I have gotten a little red but for the most part i am tanning. SWEET! By the way, when you figure out why you do not say no to yourself about food, let me know, because I can't seem to do it anymore either. The bad thing is, I do not even think of it as being the wrong thing to do until after I have done it. How is that for scary? :w00t: Angela-I am SO sorry that you are stressing at work. I wish I could say something to make you feel better. How 'bout a drink? What is your fav mixed drink anyway? I bought some pina colada mix, now all I need is some rum :biggrin: By the way, macy said she wants to go have coffee with you again. Jennifer-hi girlie! How are you? I am taking venlafaxine. They told me to lower it from 75 to 37.5 then they are going to lower me to 25 then take me off. I am really exciteed because it seems that the lower dose is working really well. Maybe I can be pill free again?! I hope so but it is good to know they are there if I need them. Michelle-I am sorry that you aren't doing too well. If the job keeps taking a toll like this...it is not worth it. I heard that fast food is stressful. I would not wanna do it. I hope you feel better this morning! Everyone-Good morning! I don't know if any of you watch Big Brother but...I do am sick of that little 'brigade'. other than that...today we are going to the Barnum & Bailey circus with the girl scouts. DH is excited about going but I am not too jazzed about it. I guess if I were still thinner I would be but....*sigh*. Hope you all have a fantastic day. :thumbup: Make good choices! :biggrin:

I wonder how Terri is... What I would not give to go back to my surgery day (knowing what i know now) *sigh*
