Nope...wouldn't touch your hair. I love it that length. And the spandex I'd make you try on just to laugh at you and then demand you take them off so that we could put you in some parachute pants. Maybe lay down a little cardboard and do some old school breakdancing. Are you in...err..I mean "down"?

I have a freakin' job interview in 2 hours so I'm up early and causin' some trouble on the bandster site.

Warm thoughts to Mookie...

I have a closet full of clothes that don't fit. (my spare room)

Today I put a pair of size 22 jeans in, and took out a pair of size 18 jeans...and they fit too, a little snug, but they will stretch out! lol.

The job interview went very well. They have invited me back for a second interview with upper management. Date to be confirmed within the next couple of days. Until I finish my Archaeology degree (my true love) I work as a Credit Analyst. Basically a toady to the company controller. I review customer's financials and follow their credit activity with the company. Call them to make payments, call them to see why they haven't purchased in a while and I work with the different branches to grow their customer credit profiles. Boring, boring, boring and lots of big egos to deal with. Good pay if I can keep my mouth shut and keep this job. We’ll see. I ain’t promising nothin’!

Someday I'll be working for a museum or working with forestry or mining co's providing test site evaluations to ensure Archaeological data is preserved prior to land use. I'd love to do some work in the Maritimes...they have wonderful Historic Arch. sites. My field of research is related to Chinese immigration/lifestyle/burial practices in the mid 1880's. With particular interest in their impact on Western Canada's gold rush period. What can I say; I never grew out of playing in the dirt. I also love to excavate old outhouses…seriously; they are some of the most educational digs. Aside from the petrified poop, I have found some beautiful pottery, old lanterns, clay pipes, intact bottles, money, boots, old porcelain doll, a huge stash of tiny shoe nails. Chinese sites give up pottery (celadon pieces are my fav.), tools, opium pipes and tins, small weights for opium scale, gaming pieces called Fan Tan beads. I could go on and usually do much to my friends chagrin. “God, Mookie’s talking about Outhouses again!”:faint:

More to follow on this developing story…

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
