No ma'am!!!

Ha!!! :mad: It's potatoes for pete's sake; not hard chips or something! gah

I let my cleaning service go b/c they weren't doing the job I thought I was paying for. I need to look on Kudzu for some more. re: scissors - picky picky picky!!! :tt2: Just buy a pair for every room - I can always find scissors! Why do I keep trying potatoes when they kill my stomach? Ugh

Lulu - I love "Clean Sweep"! Those people are beyond gross though. I'm cluttery but OMG living with all the mass of crap the people on that show have would make me nutters! Slim - glad you're jumping on the "Leverage" boat. Maybe we can keep the show on! (No knowledge of it being cancelled; just saying.) One of my gf's is an organizer but lives in another state. We talked today about her coming down to help me organize and my payment would be a dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Sounds pretty cheap to me! She's gotten me motivated so today I have: - done 2 loads of laundry. I'd start #3 but #1 is still drying. Hate putting up clothes too. - organized a 2nd closet w/ my clothes. Good to see what all I have! - organized some in my office. It's been a hot mess since I moved so any and all small dents I can make help! How I wish i could snap my fingers and it would be organized. Gah. Now I need to fire up the shredder!!!

I was thinking the exact same thing this morning! In order to get prepared to continue w/ the weight loss, I organized my master closet. I didn't realize how many pairs of pants I have an in 4 different sizes! Yea! Thank goodness! Don't you wonder why in the world they needed to know how much you weighed at 4am?!? Craziness! Love it and can't wait for it to come back on! That show is SO well written and Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are excellent! Not getting on each others' nerves is great! Ha!

LJM - bless your heart. Pls keep us up-to-date as much as possible. I'll be thinking about you! Take care of yourself! **hugs**

Ha! Just pretend like the Pentagon is its own state!

It's definitely different! I've had a pain in my left shoulder today and a pain last night around my shoulder blade. I'm wondering if they are related to the major restriction?!? :tongue2:

LJM - it was meeeee re: Leverage! Doesn't it rock?!? Glad you love it too! :biggrin: So I couldn't even get down mashed potatoes at lunch today so I called the surgeon's office. (tho I did get down a container of vanilla yogurt) He said to stay on liquids 24-48 more hours. Pain with mashed potatoes was disconcerting!

Liquids - the day of and the day after. I've maybe gotten down 1/3 of a water battle today and that's all. Sweet re: the NSV! :biggrin:

Thanks for responding, OD! :confused:

Jane - the mozzarella sticks comment really hit home. I had my 2nd fill on Tues and am very tight. Like a dummy, I went to a restaurant with 2 friends Wed and ordered mozz sticks. :cursing: I didn't even get one down and had to hit the RR. That really hurt!! So I'm definitely learning some new habits! :confused: Good luck!

**Question** - so I got another fill Tuesday. It takes me quite a while to get down a protein shake and a handful of nuts hurt going down (yes I chew chew chew). That seems too tight to me but I don't have the history y'all have. Opinions? Thanks so much!

PJTP that I'm watching the Rose Bowl Parade. I was in marching band in HS (flute/piccolo, then rifle). The RBP is 5 miles - can you imagine? Whew! We did the Fiesta Bowl Parade and it was only 3 miles but we were worn out! I'd forgotten that everything has to be organic in the RBP - very cool! Happy 2009!!!

PJTP that I can definitely feel my additional 2.5 cc's; whew. I just gulped some Crystal Light by mistake and now I have the hiccups. Ugh.

Tap - I just caught a shudder reading that!

Isn't it good? For those that haven't watched, I stumbled upon a rerun of the season opener. The basic premise is that a band of 4 thieves and Timothy Hutton make this huge score and are set for life. They like working together so they con/rip off "bad guys" to kind of right the wrongs. I guess it's a modern version of Robin Hood. Not sure which channel it's on but it's on a cable station like TNT or USA.

OK LJM to change the subject (!)...does anyone watch the TV show, "Leverage"? It really is good! Sleepytime.... PS - I got an additional 2.5 cc's today, FYI.

True that, LJM, true that.

Susan - of all of the things I thought you might *expose* us to, I neva eva thought you'd teach us about an Eiffel Tower. EWWWWWW OMG look up alaskan pipeline. WTH are people thinking?

Susan - that is great!!! I am so proud!!! :frown:

Eek, I was only kidding about liquids only....or wasssss I? Fun-E.....woo, my side is splitting - not. Never owned any PrepH.

Yee-ouch, Slim! A gf at work figured out mine the first time. She went through the whole gamut of makeup, creams, lotions, etc until it dawned on me about the toothpaste. Why the H would I just up and develop a reaction to toothpaste. So weird!!!

OK complete off-topic question: Have any of you all known anyone that's allergic to toothpaste? If not, now you have. A year ago, I tried a new toothpaste for the first time and it burned my lips and upper lip...at least it looks like a burn. So I switched to plain ol' Crest and was OK. Last week, I forgot and used the small toothpaste in my suitcase over Christmas. So yeah, I have the burn again. I think it took me 2-3 days this year to figure it out. Doh!
