Good Afternoon ladies, I need help........ please advise. :help: :help: :help: I have a friend who is having an affair and her endless stories of the boyfriend, her shopping binges and late nights have got me all crazy. I So want to be a good friend but why me? I am a card carrying Christian and shes told me she doesn't like to be preached to then why oh why does she want to hang with me? On Sunday she was going stir crazy with her husband in the house and begged to come to my house, spend the night and take a walk on the beach. I said come on over. We went to dinner, stayed at the beach a tiny bit(it got cold) and when we got in the house she called the boyfriend. Then she annouces that it would be easier to stay with him and left. I feel used and have told her point blank that she needs to do something about her situation. She knows I don't like adultery and have watched her weight soar in the 10 months since she met this guy. When she calls I don't get to talk because it's all about her and her troubles(funny, I thought having a hot affair would solve everything!) since I hate confrontation I have stopped picking up the phone for the last 24hrs. This gal is really sweet and she is one of my Disney buddies so just drop kicking her into the ocean wouldn't be nice. How do I tell her we can't continue the relationship while she remains in her unhealthy lifestyle. Should I just invite her to church? My best friend lynne says that she seeks out my friendship because she craves the very thing she does not have..... Jesus. I would love to plant a seed, her heart and life is so empty. My passive/agressive phone behavior is because I just don't know what to do anymore and I need to concentrate on my health issues and parenting my kids. Am I being selfish? Thanks guys. :phanvan Welcome to Allison, please inform us about your new life since getting the band. I have not gotten my yet. Hugs

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words about my "dog fish". Yes, Dianne my sweet 25cent fishes were my pet dogs! I would talk to them and they would wag their tails and answer me when I spoke to them. Frequently I would find puddles of water on the counter because they could lift the lid off and they would remind me when I had missed their dinnertime. I'm gonna give myself a few more days and then I will sanitize my tank and begin again. Thanks for being so understanding. My Vacation: Kinda blurry. I love being home and watching my kids play but never really felt that I could relax. Don't get me wrong..... I really needed to get away but in the back of my head I'm waiting for that phone call from my surgeon that we can begin pre-op. I just need to move on from this waiting pattern. Sherry: it's been 6 months for you and your weight loss has been fantastic! Just amazing! Betty: You have to have an operation? This thing was bugging you at the beginning of the summer. Please keep me updated. Eileen: do you really only eat half a slice of pizza? Birds only eat so little. Just amazing! Dianne: I said a prayer for Fred. 8 years is a really long time to have a fish. I never named my fish..... just called the dog-fish. Any more personal and I'm gonna be a drinking woman. Where's my margarita? Cindy: You at school already? we start September 6th, and we have a whole bunch of staff changes. I may not be the new kid on the block but, I also don't know all the ropes. one day at a time. Kat: Kudos on a successful surgery for DH. I'm proud of you. Everything you learned through you experience will be passed on to another. It will make a great gift to someone, one day. Hugs.

I am SO sorry for not being able to communicate better during vacation..... but it was just impossible to get computer time! When I arrived in Santa Barbara I just thought I was having a heart attack I felt so worn out. I really think that the pressure of packing, organizing, driving, and parenting just wiped me out, but by day 4 the chest ache was gone and I was feeling normal. We were busy everyday and our beach days were just the best! I hit up quite a few thrift stores and once a week I had a massage on my feet(heavenly). We left on August 9th and when we got home discovered that all our beautiful goldfish has passed on. My biggest fish was 4 years old and the children have never lost a pet and they were just inconsolable. I wasn't able to cry because I had to clean and bury the fish. Coming home has never this difficult. Anyway, I've recouperated and now the kids are away on a week long visit with their Dad. I'm going to spend time tidying up the house and slowly preparing for school and then some girlie time for me..... getting a touch/tint in the morning. Glad to be back online once again. I will do personals over the next few days, I've read most of the August posts and lots has happened. Hugs,

Hey Gang, I made it to Santa Barbara...... it's cooler here in the degrees but the humidity is killin me! I've been here 4 days and I have zero energy and wake up just as tired as when I went to bed. Whats up with that? Do you guys think being old and fat has something to do with my current condition? My Mom & sister have all these plans for the next few days and just getting up off the sofa makes me sweat. I'm not normally this tired.... not even at work. What should I do?

Shock..... Awe..... Wonderment! CINDY you look marvelous! I am so proud of your achievement for just 1year with lapband. Can't wait to see the standing in the old pants photo, I think it's great that you saved them. Well Gang, Slowly but surely I am getting the car loaded for our Santa Barbara trip. I had the mechanic check out the car fluids and tires, now I just need to run to the pharmacy for ADD medication and a good nights rest and we will be leaving tomorrow, right after the work morning rush. Driving by the Los Angeles airport is always a nighmare! I will stop by about every other day to let ya know whats going on...... mainly just wanting to escape this horrible heat. Hugs.

Wendy, I sent a prayer, you seem to be doing great and your diagnosis sounds scary. Just wanted to let you know we are hoping you get well soon. Hugs.

Dear Betty, I am speachless..... DH lost his job! My ex lost his job Soooo many times when we were married and this is the most tough on the men. A tiny piece of advice. Before you jump into the job hunt..... take an afternoon or evening and have a date. Re-connect and bond for a second. One time after Dan lost a job we went to Knotts berry farm when the twins were tiny. Knotts has an after 4pm special that we could barely afford but I believed that we couldn't afford not to. Our heads and our hearts needed a soft place to fall. I'm thinking of you both and wishing you a peaceful weekend. Hugs :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Happy Bandaversary Cindy :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: It's been one year! I know you are on Vacation but last summer you started your journey..... and thats not MICKEY MOUSE. You have done great and I wanted to tell ya! Can't wait to hear about your trip. Darcy: Girlie, please don't feel so down..... I'm gonna need ya when I start my lapband life. What can we do for you? Recipes, menus, count proteins, carbs. It's one day at a time, one meal at a time or 30 seconds I have always looked up to you. Personally I always feel better and more motivated when I eat lots of protein(like 70gr) and when I don't I 've lost the battle. We love you here and want the best. Do ya feel the love yet? Be a good girl.....OK? Well........ kids are with the Dad, it's HOT and sticky here and packing for my trip is going to be a trial. Yesterday I shipped 2 boxes of stuff to my Moms house, I do that to lighten the load on my car. Mini vans haul people not stuff and there is never enough room for luggage and my kids so years ago I learned to use UPS. So all I have to pack is my junk and then the boys have to have blankets, pillows, stuffed animals and snacks for the trip. OH, and there is a sale a Kohls and I'm looking for backpacks and thats my exciting weekend. Hey, I gotta go I'm melting as I type. Bye!

:hug: Kat when it rains it pours. I just sent up a prayer..... it went federal express. Sorry guys for being invisible. Last weekend was a Disney Convention and my sister came to visit for a short bit, and then Vacation Bible School started on Monday -- hey, its summer! Oh, and then I ate something that REALLY didn't agree with me and I stopped eating for 24hrs.... not fun! Tonight is our VBS barbeque and show from 5-7pm. I called Dan to let him know that the kids are preforming. He asked when it ends and I said 7pm..... he said "great, I'll be there to pick them up" I just love the father who doesn't invest more than he needs to. I hope it just bites him in the butt one day! Once the children leave for visitation I will have a chance to pack my things for our vacation to Santa Barbara. I will be at my Moms house for 14days and will pop in occasionally from my sisters computer. The temp here is still in the high 89-95 degrees and walking across the room causes sweating - ugh. SB is cool and my mothers sunroom is where I will be living while I'm there. I can't wait. Eileen: I know you are busy with hospital stuff and your niece. We are waiting on news about her. Betty: I'm very glad that you finally got to the Dr. Keeping fingers crossed for final outcome. Dianne: You skinny thing. I'm very proud for you.... you hot mama! PS Still waiting on a new heart for Robbie.... good news though, he is finally eating and asking for Snacks. Keep praying.

I leave the board for a couple of days and all this happens? I am stunned and speechless! Eileen: I want to comfort you about your niece' dx. She is much too young to have something this dangerous. I'm praying for you all. Betty: This dr thing is really taking a lonnnng time. Please be good to yourself. Kat: In recent days your posts have been upbeat and chipper. You are handling life magnificently and you get a great big "high 5" from me. I'm really glad that you and your hubby are taking time out for dinners together and staying bonded. Glad that your Dad is doing well also. Hugs. Cindy: Traveling mercies for your crew. Donna: Handsome son you have. I have sons and the pride you must feel must have you overwhelmed. Way to Go! Dianne: A car wreck? I have been in way too many fender-benders and never at fault. I've been left with NO neck muscles and pain unlimited. Please baby yourself for the whole weekend. Did I say eat? I don't think so! Hugs for your recouperation. Sherry: Going to Bermuda..... oh yeah buying all those clothes! Please remember sunscreen..... we want you toasty brown when you come home! Luv ya! Darcy: I have never sent my kids to camp and I KNOW I wouldn't like the lonely feeling of missing the children. Come here honey. Anne: 5 kids under 5....... It's time for LADIES NITE! I understand you are swamped, but I'm really really glad you checked in. Hugs. :update: After I got denied last week I made another appointment with Jenny my dietician. Insurance wants 6 months of a supervised bariatric program. I have visited with Jen 3 times(yesterday being 4) sooooo, they are writing up additional notes for 2 additional visits and faxing them in. I don't need to appeal the decision and maybe this will satisfy whomever needs to be satisfied. I've developed a nervous dry cough and figure is due to a rather interesting disease that I will call lapbande stress. I'm drinking warm tea and hugging the kids alot and contemplating pizza for lunch. My Santa Barbara vacation will be just the ticket for my nerves where my mama will be there to baby her baby(thats ME)! It's all in Gods timing and I'm just fine with that. Have a great weekend everyone, and lets be safe out there.

Good Morning All, I have the twins raking leaves and the little guys outta my hair for just a moment! For some weird reason, I don't have an appetite this morning..... maybe it's the heat. We just have general chores to do, nothing special. I will be getting that long awaited haircut/color done tomorrow and then I'll be human again. Sending up prayers for girls with bloodtests, and thankful that Donna's DH is home safely. Time to send out bills -- ugh!

Lieve Charlotte, We write in English here. I can read dutch but can not write in dutch. I understand that you are an American woman married to a dutchman, and are interested in the lapband and how it works. Het Beste, Patty Westminster California Geboren in Den Hague

I love everything to do with King Henry the VIII and those 6 wives. Just finished the queens fool by Philippa Gregory about Queen Mary and her court. I am now reading The Virgin's Lover also by Philippa Gregory. This one is about Queen Elizabeth and her romance with lord robert dudley. Both these queens were King Henrys children by 2 different women.

:peep: :fish: :dance: :happybday: :dance: Happy Birthday dear Darcy, Happy Birthday tooooooo, you! Ummmm, oh yes, go see Johnny D on your B-day. Jack & Elizabeth have a smooch that will curl your toes! Hey Betty Boo, I don't like that your foot has been bothering you this long. :sick When is the appt? Eileen: Channing isn't headed to surgery just yet. As a health aid for the school district I'm privy to lot of resources. Shriners Hospital in Los Angeles is an exculsive childrens hospital that specializes in ortho. Before school was out I contacted the hospital for an application and I just finished filling out the 12+ pages and sent it in. This is a philanthropic organization which means they will not ask me to pay for services. Chan slumps alot and no amount of telling him to sit up has worked. What I need is a diagnosis. All the jr high schools in our district get screened, I got the note knowing how badly my kid stands(my ex has a curved back). So, here we are on the verge on another adventure...... Donna: I didn't know you rented out property.... that is the most awful thing I've heard of. Hugs to you and your DH. Please keep us updated. Sherry: You skinny thing. I know that you are discouraged but having worked in the clothing industry and costuming, the numbers don't mean a thing. Joan Rivers has all the size tags changed on her coats so that if someone looks they think she's a 6/7 or whatever size she has stitched in. Another top manufactuerer has trays of labels and the same dress is given a nordstrom tag then a taget tag, then walmart etc. I kid you not! The very same garment will have 10 tags! Thats why I only shop outlet and goodwill and nothing full price. At a thrift store you have to try on the clothes because lots of people cut out the tags. Yesterday I found an adorable denim sundress with white embroidered flowers in the bodice and beading. $8.50 -- oh yeah! This losing weight thing will be discouraging to all of us in ways we never saw coming, and that gos for me as well. I love ya gal, and I'll be calling you with my song & dance when I've lost 46lbs. Hmmmmm, don't know if I'll be naked anytime soon, oh..... you're SO lucky :jaw:

:fencing: Yo Ho Yo Ho, a Pirates life for Me! The kids and I saw Pirates of the Carribean yesterday.... I was laughing so much that I gotta see it again, probably missed a whole lot! Feeling better about my denial and I give thanks for all my girlfriends. Right now I'm letting Jodi figure out what exactly the insurance co wants. So, I don't think I need to appeal just yet. We were frightened that they would say no to lapband, and that didn't happen. 6months of dieting we can deal with. Jodi reminded me that I had already seen the dietician 3 times.... will the insurance accept those visits and we add 3 more? We don't know yet.... but maybe. So in my head maybe I could have a July, August, September dietician and surgery in Oct, that would give me a date just 1 year behind Eileen! I kind of like that! I don't like to be a fighter but will be if the situation calls for it. Lets pray that this little hiccup works its way out. Currently I'm juggling a possible surgery for one of the twins..... if they diagnose scoliosis and I just got another letter from the tax board looking for back taxes from my ex and that stupid 401k that he took. I take it all one breath at a time. Hey, the kids are away at the dads house and I'm gonna do girlie things today..... alittle shopping, a little eating and maybe another movie. Hugs.

:pout: I got Denied. I'm not mad..... I'm not sad..... just numb. When I got the call this afternoon it was from my surgeons office. Insurance wants me to complete a 6 month bariatric diet(what ever that means). Jodi told me she suspected they would turn me down for lapband but this was unexpected. Dear sweet Jodi has already made some calls and is really really trying to put together a solution that cuts through some of this icky redtape. She is having a meeting with my dietician and tomorrow will be calling with a primitive plan. I called my Mom. She listened, and I agree with her. Not much I can do about all this. Chin up. I'm moving forward with my visit to Santa Barbara and me and the kids will be there for about 14 days. I totally need the break from all this lapband stress. My focus now is meal planning/packing and a taxing 3hr drive to Mom's house on July 26. Hey guys, I'm OK with this..... really. It's Gods plan for me and I always remember that. If I get a date this fall it will be SOOOOO much cooler in my non-air conditioned home and that was REALLY concerning me. Taking time off from work.... well no way around that. I love you all for following me through this whole mess. Time to zone out now so, I'm gonna watch some TV. Catch ya later.

:hungry: :Bunny :cup: :popcorn: :cocktail: :pop2: :beer: :pizza: :usa: :hungry: Parties, picnics, BBQ's......... Happy 4th of July! :P :P Welcome newcomers! This is the funniest board around -- whoot! Dear Dianne: Where are those adoption papers, and where do I sign! Thanks. Cindy: DD has a wonderful loving Mom in you. As a school health aid I had to counsel a young one who was not told about periods and I was more than a bit angry. Kat's suggestion was cool. I immediately thought about on old episode of the Cosby show. They called it "ladies day" a fancy resturant was chosen, they all got dressed up.... major celebration and some real importance. A wrist corsage would be fun. I'd say you have a good 5-6 months to plan. Keep us posted. Beanie: Will my cobra keep me from being approved? I never thought that could also give me grief. I'm waiting for a surgery date. Do you know something that I don't? Worry is my middle name. Anne: where are you? Well, one by one my little monsters are waking up. Bye.

:shade: Back from vacation and lived to tell about it! I've just caught up on all posts and missed ya all while I was away. So here is my update: June 22nd: my twins graduated from Jr. High. June 23rd: Last day of school/work. (I'm a health aid for a school) June 24th: Pirates of the Carribean World premiere at Disneyland. I got there at noon and it was a madhouse. I found a spot on mainstreet but not in front. 7+ hours later I finally get a tiny glimpse of Kira Knightly, 1 photo of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp almost impossible. He was wearing a very smart grey suit, with a fedora hat. The teenagers were inconsolable and it almost got dangerous. I'm sad that I didn't have a more pleasant time but, saving a spot for myself at 6am was an impossiblity for me and really not worth my time. My friends are willing to share some of their photos with me and for that I'm grateful. I went home and rested my weary body. June 25-26th Pack for Legoland. June 27-Tuesday. Legoland California. The kids were wild with excitement.... you would have thought we had never visited! I let them go any where they wanted and in 4 hours time they were done. Lewis was just SO excited about our stay in a hotel, so I drove them to the Embassy Suites and there we stayed for 3 nights. June 28th: I bought some water pistols and we hung out by the pool. We have triple digit temperatures and I love the AC. June 29th Took a short drive in search of a local train depot. Couldn't find it. On the way back to the hotel, found a air-conditioned bookstore and hid out for 2 hrs, had lunch and back to the pool. June 30th Checked out and told the desk clerk we'd be back! Before leaving town we drove to Knotts Berry Farm to visit a replica of Independance Hall. There was no admission and a little patriotic observance never hurt anyone. I snaped pics of the liberty bell, Betsy Ross and we spoke with Ben Franklin! The temp was nearing 100 so we jumped in the car and headed for home. It was a good vacation and there were a few "I'm bored" moments but thats OK. We were together with no major meltdowns and thats what counts. The twins really showed some responsiblity and helped with loading and unloading the car, they acted very grown-up. But then when I wasn't watching they were having pillow fights and knocking over lamps! Adorable. When I got home Aunt Flo came to visit so being home, hot and crampy.... well, this weekend is kinda a blur. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow. No news on lapband...... we have a slight problem with my COBRA. But I don't wanna explain just yet. Glad to be home!

Good Morning, Sleep, what a great invention! I was So tuckered out, and didn't realize it. Looking forward to a great summer. Darcy: First it's your doggy and now you have a goiter! Girl, couldn't you come up with a disease with a nicer name? Hugs for all you've been through, I want those palpatations to go away. Dianne: Where did you get to see my photo? Cindy: You planning to party without me? Are we drinking? Sherry:When I decided to have surgery I was really concerned about the kids. Then I realized that if I'm indeed really ill or under the weather they have another parent that needs to care for them. Dan doesn't know about the up coming surgery..... but he will soon! Love those surprizes - hehehe. :bandit PS hoping all gos well with the puppy, he sounds adorable. Pat: your family is beautiful. Can I come over to swim? Well, I gotta get myself together for a day at the park.... Disneyland park. I'll dish later. Bye.

:eek: :fish: Bring on Summer! Well, I finally read thru the last 4 pages, sorry I kinda dropped out.... needed to focus. My Twins had Graduation yesterday. The looked SO grown-up. After the ceremony I had planned an early dinner and told the boys they could invite their dad. Once we got to the restaurant and after we ordered he brings out his phone and calls his wife and invites her! By the time we had eaten and paid she pulls up in the parking lot. I have no words for all this. The kids are with their Dad for the weekend, and well, me & Johnny Depp are gonna be an item on Saturday. Just need to "come back to center" and then we're off to LEGOLAND CA. Lapband news: We need to give the insurance company 2 weeks to accept a surgical referral. Then I get a date. In the meantime we pray. $@%$#*^$^#*& The kids already are trying to kill one another...... we've been home 2 hrs! Ahhhhhhh, they're so cute at that age! Bye!

Dog Epilepsy!?! Darcy you have got to be kidding..... well, I know that you're not. I'm so sorry hon. Can you give the pup some milk of magnesa for the diarrehea? We gave it to our dog. Mary: Thanks for the good wishes. Dear Eileen, I forgot to tell you how wonderful you look in your photo. I did a double take on the photos because I really see a change from your avatar and the new pic. If we ever get to meet in person, I know I would walk right by you! You give me hope. Schools been crazy! And all the details I have to manage are giving me headache. Should I: 1. say, Calgon take me away (like Darcy said) or 2. take one of Doc's pints of ice-cream and make it disappear? Actually, I'm SO wiped out right now, all I wanna do is take a nap. 3 more days to go..... :faint:

Monday Monday Morning all! Whew, I got the kids up..... fed.....dressed and deposited at the right schools! I say I deserve a cup of coffee! Yeahhhhhh! Uhhhh No. Just stopped by long enough to say hello and then I'm off to deliver half of my teacher gifts and then I need to go to work. All these last minute details and I just know I'm gonna have a "senior moment" and forget something. Have mercy on me! I'll try to check in with ya all later! Bye.

Darcy:I want your puppy to get well. Sending up a prayer. When I was just a girl, we lost our beloved Dachshound. My Mom was so sad, so my Dad secretly went to the pound to find a new pet and got a Doxie mix. Cutest puppy ever. What we didn't know was that he had Distemper. We went through weeks of taking care of such a sick dog and by some miracle he survived(most distemper animals don't live). My Mom named him BRUNO and we had him a lonnnnng time.:rant: Sherry: You got me to smile with your biker descriptions. I gafawed when I read "...those fellas could have used a bath". When we have our county fair in July, thats when we seen some pretty outrageous outfits. Wonder if they have broken mirrors at home? And about the green fish tank.... I have one of those too! Eileen: Did the scale decide to bless you this week? I gotta scan down and check. Feeling warm a fuzzy all over.:clap2: Zan: Is she in somewhere on this thread? Yoo-hoo? Darcy: I know I alread told you..... but your photo is SO cute! Update on Robbie: He ate an entire TACO! Wowza! He has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now and getting alittle stiff. PT has him doing some limber exercises. Eating will give him more energy, we want him physically fit when that new heart arrives. Out here in Sunny California, we are HOT again. The kids and I have retreated out to the carport and set up the new kids tent we got Friday night. The twins ran an electrical cord from the house and set up our portable DVD player, made popcorn grabbed every pillow and literally set up camp. It was much cooler outside and gave them something to do. We are in the countdown to NO MORE school..... 5 more days! Stress levels are at their highest. I have 2 graduations to do, teacher gifts to assemble, close out my office and by the weekend start packing for our 3day vacation. The only thing keeping me focused is JOHNNY DEPP. There, I've said it! I will be with Johnny Depp on Saturday for the premiere of Pirates 2. So be watching all the entertainment shows(Extra, Access hollywood) I will be in those TV shots in the front row. OK, I'm done bragging. We have major clean up to do here and I gotta get the twins up. Bye, my lovlies.

Hey...... Guess what? I got Approved....... but hold the applause, just for the Consultation. Item #6 on the documentation says: Lapband is experimental. My gal Jodi at the surgeons office knows the game and is prepared for the next hurdle..... to be approved for surgery. Paperwork for that will be faxed on June 21st. When the puzzle is complete..... surgery could be last week of July or 1st week of August. EXACTLY when I want to vacation with my Mom in Santa Barbara. It's the only time I have the kids 2 weeks straight. OH BOTHER! I still have to process this information, I just learned about a few hours ago. Not happy, nor sad. And disappointing the children is the last thing I want to do. Pray.

It's Friday. Nothing to much to tell. I would have sat by the phone yesterday but the twins waited until the last minute to spring a project on me and I dropped everything to help. Oh, then I ordered the wrong color grad announcements. And my storage unit which as all my beloved possesions, they raised the rent. I feel..... I feel, whats the word for what I feel? Even eating doesn't help my mood. I was at my co-workers Terry's home in the afternoon and I ran into Robbie's(the 14 year old waiting for a new heart) Dad Chuck. Gave him a BIG hug. Rob is still not eating very much and they are trying to give him LOTS of protein drinks. Getting weak before a transplant is not recommended. Anyway, Chuck seems in good spirits and came home(the hospital is 1hr away from home) to fix a busted water heater! It was repaired, thank goodness. Ya know, when someone takes ill, life everywhere else keeps going. Please keep praying that Gods timing is perfect for a new heart and the families other kids and interupted schedules. My woes pale in comparison. We will just do this one day at a time. I love you gals. You are really special each and every one of you. Thanks. Kat: you are still on my prayer list. Randi: YOU live in Carlsbad! How fantastic! I will be there on June 27th! How cool it that! One of my twins has a lifetime pass to Legoland California and Thats where we will be bright and early. I'd love to say Hi, but only if surgery go's well for you. It's great that we are both Moms to twins. It's not a accident that we met. Hugs. Sherry: Your jokes are hilarious. I didn't get all of them.... but most. And I'm not even from the east. Theatrical Major, had to learn some of these things for roles. Eileen: What a blessing to have a Mom like you. DD is lucky that you thought up a wonderful reminder of school. The charms sound beautiful. Wheres mine? Just kidding. I have an italian charm with 2 blank spaces... one for my wedding and one for when I reach goal. Well kiddos, gotta scoot. My rugrats at Hayden Elementary will be needing me today. Bye!

Been lurking again and sitting on the phone every morning with no news to report. Things are not going well here with an upcoming graduation, closing out my office and lapband troubles. Yesterday I orders grad announcements in the wrong color..... I have too much on my plate. This isn't where I want to be. We have 6 more days of school....... PS: Darcy, your haircut is adorable. Maybe a haircut will cheer me up?
