OK so 'Hot' guy story (NOT PLAIN :tt2:): Some background information - I had the exterior of my house painted about a month ago (prior to me joining the PJTP clan) The 3 men/boys who were doing it had also built a fence around my backyard for me about 2 months before that. They range in age from 25-29, 2 of them are brothers and they are extremely hot and muscular (I still may not be doing them justice - especially the brothers) Let's just say that the oldest one was actually Cosmo's Kansas Bachelor of the year 4 years ago. These are the kinda guys that get into all the clubs downtown just because of who they are. They date models. Surprisingly enough they are really good, nice country boys turned city men who were raised right by their mothers. SO needless to say I absolutely enjoyed every minute I spent in my backyard while they were working (and yes they were shirtless in that hot summer sun :smile2:) And (:laugh:) as most people who work on my house are used to they loved that I kept ice cold bottles of water and powerade in a cooler for them and baked either muffins or cookies every day - I even made lunch for them 2 different days (I have no shame) I joyfully 'play' flirted with them (like I seriously had a chance) and they playfully bantered back. - all in fun. Ok so that's the background - let's speed up to today. 2 of my neighbors have also decided to have these guys paint their house (one is my next door neighbor - I'm really disappointed that I get to drool - uumm watch them again) They started over there yesterday - but were working hard today. This afternoon another neighbor came over to my house to ask a favor but also to vent about a very unpleasant encounter he had just had with some stupid college girls renting the house across the street from me - he was really upset and was yelling. Well the 'boys' all of a sudden appeared and came right up and almost got into my other neighbor's face basically putting themselves between us and asked if there was a problem here. Almost cracking up - I thanked them but said no - and explained what was going on. Later the oldest hottie came over and wanted to apologize for their behavior - but said he just got nervous when he heard some guy yelling at me and said he couldn't let anything happen to 'our Dana'. Isn't that sweet - of course I gave them a loaf of the blueberry zucchini bread! :wink2: Might have to wake up early tomorrow just to watch them some more - I'm sure I have more weeding that could be done!

Plain - no one would have known - but you just had to go and spill the beans. That's it we're through - you're too vain for me!

Spideymom - you'll do great! You have the right attitude and that's a lot of it. Like Luluc said - there should be no bashing - you do what's right for you and what you find works for you in conjunction with your Dr's advice.

True Diva - you're very sweet! I think we all have someone we feel that way about - for me right now it's Luluc. Be proud of what you've accomplished though - because it's substantial!

Ok I have a funny 'hot' guy story to tell you all about - but I have to leave in a little bit for work so I'll do it from there later - this is just a teaser!

I'd say both actually - there are times when I can't eat more and others where I know I shouldn't and need to have a little more self control - also depends on the amount of time since my last fill. It also seems like you both are more recently into the process - and I remember it taking several fills before I really started feeling good restriction.

Thought you might get a kick out of that! Totally off subject - I can't wait to go see Julie and Julia (?other way around?) I remember when her book came out (Julie's - I'm not that old!) and she was on the Today show - I was impressed that she had cooked all those recipes - woman after my own heart - except that I could not have been restrained enough to follow them all through - would have to play around too much! Wish al my cooking buddies were closer and I could go see it with you all!

Please see the picture below I took of myself tonight:

Tap - I know - I am one giant contradiction - but the baked goods are going to both neighbors and coworkers tonight.

True Diva - Your new picture fits your name! Hot girl!

Luluc - I now might have to hate you and your little skinny toned arms too! It's disgusting how good you look!

You guys crack me up! Beth - sorry about the job, we'll just have to pray for a better one to come along. Have also been wondering about your home life - don't want to hound you - just want you to know I'm thinking about you and care how things are going. Glou - Know how you fell about the food. I have these buy 1 entree get one free coupons - so I went to this really good italian restaurant to redeem it after running errands. So brought home 2 giant containers of food and proceeded to pack up 10 servings into little containers for the freezer. I mean seriously - the food gets freezer burned before I eat it. Last night I was looking in the freezer and was like this is ridiculous - one of the entrees was gnocchi - what sort of nutritional value is that going to give me in the quantity that I eat it. So I threw it all in the trash this morning - and there's the waste! Tap - you would not believe the bat wings hanging off this frame - I could take flight! Been busy all morning baking - made blueberry zucchini bread and muffins and zucchini brownies - can you guess a friend gave me some zucchini - made me think of you Luluc! TTFN

Good Morning all! I tried to sleep in because i go back to work tonight -- but alas no luck - just another 24 hr+ day. But of course that means I will still be up in the wee hours the next couple mornings just like Slim & Tap!

:juggle::hurray::hurray: **Of course song now firmly stuck in head**

congrats on your goal reaching!!!

Ok so I avoid all those crazy quizzes on facebook like the plague - but saw one tonight that cracked me up and I had to do it: it was the 'Are you Ghetto?' quiz - crack me up Apparently I am not ghetto (shocking I know) I am bourgeouis - don't think that quite fits either but hysterical none the less.

Yesterday was bad (very very very undescribably bad) Today (not perfect - but better) B: 1/2 c. cream of wheat w/ PB2 and maple syrup, activia yogurt S: cheetos (uummm yeah - not so good) L: 2 babybels, sm. peach, mixed grill of zucchini, portabellos and artichoke hearts S: sf popsicles D: bowl of fajita chicken meat w/ grilled onions and red peppers, cilantro lime rice and cheese w/ a dollop of guacamole :juggle: Full enough now that I can't even think about more food - but since it's so early I imagine I'll have something later for dessert.

No kidding - you guys are rockstars!

I am an idiot. I had wanted to enter this burger contest last year with this recipe I had developed - but was out of town and missed the deadline - so I was going to enter this year. I actually had developed a couple recipes and (of course waiting till the last minute was working on typing them up all day today - deadline is 12 today) Unfortunately - that was 12 noon - not midnight like most contests - so I missed the deadline AGAIN!! Ratso-fratso - kick the wall!!!!!!

Mmmmmmm - I love mashed potatoes mixed w/ greek yogurt - good protein and they taste heavenly (if I do yukons - I add lots of garlic, if sweet potatoes - then I add coconut syrup if I have any left or maple syrup) How about a soft polenta w/ parmesan and mix the greek yogurt into that (just trying to find things that are not only band/brace friendly but sources of protein too)

"Dear Lord - please forgive my sister Slim for her dispassion towards your gift to us in football. Please make sure that she knows I still love her and fully respect her decision to choose another passion." :biggrin:

Just over 2 weeks till our first pre-season game. Love this time of year no matter what but kinda exciting for us - new regime, new QB - Can't wait!!

Luluc - Cowboys come to KC 10/11!!!!

Beth - want to go see ugly truth too - I might go tonight - could use some romance/comedy! I just don't get where her 'tude comes from. Just the entire attitude about how she doesn't need the band, she thinks she's fine- just doing it to see what happens - WTH? then shut up go away and enjoy your perfect self! (Notice I said this here and not where my mouth might get me in trouble - which is why I usually keep it shut - unles of course you are a Dr who needs to be put in your place - because I do not hold back then.)

Also praying for your friend Lulu - does he have skype? That could be fun for him and his family for not visiting times
