Aww Michelle! That's exciting!! Your lil' girl is now a WOMAN!!!!!

I'll tell ya now, I need a bed! I don't fit on couches.

Just had someone I don't talk to, knew them from church over a decade ago... but they're a friend on FB... pm me and ask if I have leftover pain meds, her husband is in pain blah blah. How random is that..

Just dropped Carson off at my parent's, back to cleaning, and then we're doing grocery shopping tonight.

Meant to tell you, I found pretzel M&M's, and I have to say I was not impressed...I like the chocolate pretzel 1pt bars sold at WW meetings much better...leaving for KC in the morning...Janie, I thought we might be going through STL, but it doesn't look like it...I'd love to do another Cubs-Cards game there, we did it years ago and it was fun...be good, stay cool!!!

Enjoy your trip Mae!!

Good morning!!

Wish I could have slept longer, been up a while, watching Crazy Heart and doing some piddly things.

Going to a retirement party later this afternoon.

My check engine light came on again the other night. I hope it is nothing.

Judy, I hope things are okay with you.

Have you painted your babys room pink yet Haydee?

Michelle, you have soo many 'firsts' to look forward to........... One of my friends has twin girls, they just turned 17 and only one is learning to drive, her husband was complaining about why he has to teach her, why can't she. She finally said because I have to take the girls to the OB-GYN soon for the first time. She said he doesn't complains now!!

Laura, how many weeks are you? I know you are due on Valentines day, let me think this through, you are 6 weeks less than Haydee so 10 weeks?

Oh well, off for some more piddling, I am also going to put some paperweights on ebay today.

That movie has gotten great reviews Pamela!!

It was one of the best movies I've seen in a LONNNGGGG time! We laughed, we cried and at the end we needed to sit there for a minute just to process it. It had a great soundtrack too, lots from Uh Huh Her (alice from L words band).

loved it!

Good morning, Violets..

Had another good night last night. I'm weaning from the percocet ever so slightly. Sometimes I take the two and sometimes, just one. I have therapy at 1 today so will take 2 just before I leave to help with that pain. I'm walking without the walker around the house and Bob is setting up the bench for me to take a shower today.. wooo hooooo! Sponge baths are ok, but not like the real thing. I see the doc tomorrow and the dressing will come off. Hard to believe it's been almost 2 weeks already!

Off to shower and get dressed for the day.

Everyone make it a good one!

Help! I don't know how to handle this, I don't DO drama!!!!

So Leslie's old gf, the one who was around for years, I befriended her on FB like months ago.. she doesn't get in the net apparently so never accepted. They broke up and like lets say 3 weeks ago, she accepted the friendship. Doh. So Leslie actually wrote some crap on my FB about you befriended that skank blah blah... I deleted her post, no thank you on the drama. I later explained to Les that I befriended her a while back when they were still together, its not a big deal.

I've been waiting a little bit to unfriend her where she won't notice so it won't be like a confrontation thing.. and this week she's been posting all over my stuff (to piss Les off I am sure of it), and it's working. So I don't know how to just.. unfriend her without her goin nuts (she's a bit crazy), but meanwhile it's getting Les worked up to see her posting on my FB. I told Les yesterday let it go, and I told her I just didn't know how to unfriend her yet, and her answer of course is "F-- HER!". Yeah but I don't do drama.

Should I just unfriend her and act oblivious??

I'm always polite, lol. Send her a message and just say that for the sake of having drama free family life you'll have to unfriend her. Wish her luck and that's it. She can't go nutso on you if you're honest and polite.

I had to do that with my cousins ex wife. They didn't tell anyone they were separated, having issues ect and I friended her. and then of course big blow up happens and she's commenting on all my stuff so my cousin could see it and I just had to tell her bye!

Jane, no we haven't painted the room yet. We are thinking a very very light lavender. With pale yellow accents. Oh and remember how I wanted a fancy crib and juan had said no? Well last week we were over at my moms and she announced that she wanted to buy the baby her nursery set. When she asked me to come look at the website so I could pick it out it was the same baby furniture website I had been looking at. So I'm getting my fancy crib, yay. Nooo we're not spoiled at all...

Oh my gosh it was so hot yesterday. We went to a BBQ for a cousins birthday and I was dying! I wanted to get in the pool but there was tons of little kids playing rough and splashing all around. I was scared that someone might accidentally kick me so I stayed out. I just kept drinking cold ice Water all afternoon.

Oh and the baby's name is going to be Sophia. Just don't say it on Facebook. We are keeping it a surprise for our families.

So juan came home on Friday with a piece of cake. And I asked him if it was all for me and he said no, its for Sophia. Ha ha ha. I told him, it started all ready?

Oh and I have a question too. My mother in law became friends with a lady a few months ago and I can't stand the lady. She is now at ALL of our family functions. At my mother in laws all the time for dinner, ect. I can't stand her. I feel like she is so fake. But my mother in law likes her. The lady is loud and abrasive and I think my MIL likes that because she is shy. So anyways juan said just ignore her. But I can't! She's always in my face too! Do I tell my MIL something or do like juan says and ignore her???

Ohh Haydee I love that name!! It's one I liked, but it's his parent's best dog ever's name, so I couldn't re-use it lol!!

Sophia Lara, so pretty... what's the middle name?

And I would ignore the lady.. If your MIL likes her.

We had our family cookout yesterday and the Water in the pool is already gross. Normally by Mid-August the water is so warm it's like a bath and not refreshing. It's already there, we've been in 100's for weeks now. BLECH. We pulled the table & umbrella by the pool to give it shade.. helped a little in one small area.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
