Pam, next Tuesday will come so fast! Blink and it will be here. I'm glad you were able to eat at least a lean cuisine. I'm sure that helps a bit.

Michelle, OMG, I can't believe you have a 16 yr old. I can't even begin to imagine... You're such a wonderful mom. I'm excited for him, LOL. Good luck getting everything ready.

Jane, I hope you get help for your headaches. Are you sure they aren't symptoms of something else?

Laura, I took some pics tonight after Juan finished painting. I'm gonna try to post them. I won on the pink. He's going to change it. I just made a pouty face and showed him the picture of the bedding and how soft the pink was. He agreed that the pink was too harsh for that soft green we picked. So we go back to the drawing board on Thursday...

Thanks for the kind words, dear friends... I do love being a mom.

This morning was fun... balloons everywhere, on the tv remote, the computer mouse, even in the shower! Yummy b'fast... he was happy w/his gifts... & gave me an extra big hug before leaving for school... what a guy.

How do they go from this (2001, the year we got our first digital cam):

To this...

So quickly??

Riddle me THAT, Batman.

Morning girls~

Michelle, he is quite a handsome young man! I loved the pics...I LOVELOVELOVE the one w/ the jester hat on and missing a tooth. Yeah, that would be my screen saver for sure!

I am down 7 since Sat! Just feel tired, but think I can do this.

Love the pics of the nursery. I like the pink but see how it can be muted a bit to go w/ the bedding and furniture. I am glad you are having fun w/ it...I know I am having fun watching!

Off to put my face on...love you girls!

It will come as no big surprise, I'm sure, when I tell you that the jester hat picture was taken at his very first US national soccer game! Soccer... of course!

The one where he's reading to C & they both look so intent really gets me, too...

Off to Panda Express to pick up his favs & surprise him @ school lunch w/them!

Good morning, Violets..

Michelle... wish DS a happy birthday for me. He is such a good looking young man. Ya done good, Mom!!

Haydee.. the bedding looks soooooo feminine. I love it! I like the pink paint too, but it probably would overpower the shade of the bedding.

PamELa.. time is flying and soon you'll be on your way to being a real loser!!:(:tt2:

I went to Curves today and had some really perky, upbeat chickie tell me all the things I already knew. I was a member of Curves before the band, so I really didn't need the motivational speech about exercise and diet and Portion Control. sheesh... But I got weighed in and measured. My weight is not only at the holy shit number, but 2# beyond that. I know I was wearing jeans so that skews it, but dang, I'm depressed. BUT, I have to keep on keeping on and get back to the exercise part of this journey. I got my 30 minutes in today and will go back tomorrow and Friday. Onward and downward!! I get a fill on Dec. 13 and that should get me through the winter.

Off to clean the kitchen and get ready for the day. Flute rehearsal at 3 and choir at 5:30, then dinner out after. Everyone make it a good one!

OMG!!!

I haven't been opening my bank statements, and just sort of glancing at them online. BIG MISTAKE!!!!

I have spent the last hour on the phone with a lady at the bank, and I have to leave so that leaves me another day to finish the problem!! Oh my gosh the money......... Sometimes it just seems like I work my ass off for nothing.

Oh, and I woke up with another headache! Yippee!!

Judy, you are being very good about taking control of the problem, my hats off to you!!!

Everyone else seems like they have things going great for them. Haydee I do kind of agree about the pink.

Michelle, you are a great mom and with Evan-a happy birthday to him!!!

Off to the yucky doc and then to work..........

Good morn, girlies,

I hope you get all that straightened out, Janie.

Love your attitude & determination, Judy! I'm gonna get me some of that... on Monday!

Down 7 already Pam! Huzzah!

Laura, I keep thinking about doughnuts! Thanks.

It's another soccer weekend for us. Heading to Raleigh, NC, today. Will check in from the road...

Everyone make it a great day! -- & weekend!

Good morning, Violets..

A chilly, dreary day today. I have a staff meeting this morning... first one with the new pastor and I'm looking forward to it. He is definitely a breath of fresh air and as they say in the Matrix.. "He's the one".

After that I'll come home, change and head to Curves for my first real workout. Then nothing for the rest of the day until we take the new pastor and his wife out to dinner tonight. Should be very interesting.

Oh... we are going to book a condo in Florida for a week in June just to "test the waters" to see if we might like to spend a month there during the worst time of winter here. We are looking at a place in St. Petersburg since we have some friends in that area.

Off to get some Breakfast and get ready for the day. Everyone make it a good one!

Janie.. hope you get everything straightened out at the bank today. I know how frustrating that can be! Now if we could just find the Bobster's missing checkbook, I'll breathe easier today.

Michelle... you don't look any older today after Evan's B'day. However do you do it??:blushing:

Morning girls~

Well, down 8 oz! I weighed before "shadobie" so it could be less...haha! I feel skinny or is it malnourished. Actually since Tuesday, this has not been bad. I even eat w/ my friends...well, I drink and they eat. I caught myself looking at Kristen's sandwhich (lightly toasted bread, lettus, Tomato and turkey sand)...couldn't look away...haha!

Getting my "do" done today, can't believe all these gray hairs along my temples and front hair line!

Then tomorrow after work I go to the hospital for pre auth, pay 1k, and blood work. NO TURNING BACK!

Judy, enjoy Curves! It can be a good workout!

Michelle, have fun in Raliegh! I love NC. We were supposed to go there this summer and place my dad's headstone but it is too much $ for all of us...so we are renting a cabin in Tahoe for a few days! I think we are going to spread his ashes. If stepmom is ready. Can't believe he died 2 years ago on Sunday! SSSUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKSSSSS! I miss him everyday!

Ok...off to get my mojo working!

pop in later!

xooxxo

I saw your FB about Curves Judy lol. They're re-teaching you! We could all use the kick in the butt. A friend of ours is doing Zumba and every day she is Fb'ing about how much she loves it (she's in Nashville, so not local). I didn't know Curves had Zumba? I may look into Zumba post-Brody.

food PORN ALERT!!

My gal pal I go to lunch with every week was telling me about some truffle recipe she made at home and how wonderful they were. She said you bake a cake, crumble it with a tub of icing, roll em up, get em cold then dip in chocolate. After googling, it sounds like the cake pops Haydee told us about (omg yum). So I've decided for Thanksgiving I'm going to make a couple different kinds. I'm for sure doing pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese icing, dipped in white chocolate. Russell <3's heath bars, and he's been on a diet (did I tell ya'll that?? He's low-calorie dieting). He's lost 20lbs in like a month, men suck.. and he complains 20lb in a month isn't a lot. ANYWAY. So I thought I'd do a treat and I'm going to do heath bar crumbles on the outside of one.. dipped in milk chocolate first, but can't decide on what the cake/icing should be on the inside. French vanilla cake and what frosting?? I'm glad Thanksgiving is coming up and I have a reason to make these. I know if I made them for no reason I'd eat the whole damn thing.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
