That IS damn good, W!

Okay, here's a whacked story for y'all...I've been having MAJOR trouble sleeping lately, so I took an Ambien last night. Waited an hour, and it wasn't working, so I took another...which I had never done before. The next thing I know, I am waking up in bed this morning when my son comes in for me to take him to school. I feel pretty darn good, though, from the good sleep I got.

I'm driving home from the school when I realize I have no clue how I got from sitting in the living room to bed. Apparently, I went to 7-11 with hubby last night on an errand and got a pint of Bluebell Buttered Pecan ice cream. Then I proceeded to eat the entire pint before crashing in the recliner. Hubby got me to bed, thank goodness. He says he doesn't think I even knew who he was last night.

Pretty scary. I won't be taking two Ambien again, for sure. And how much does it suck to eat an entire pint of ice cream and have no memory of it?!?!?

TX - Yep, the hockey pucks have about 2 servings of Jif in them - I ran across them at Target last week. Sounds perfect to me.

That sucks on the Ambien adventure. It's never bothered me, but my dad has had some weird experiences with it. It sucks to have eaten an entire pint of Blue Bell. It sucks far, far, far more not to have remembered it. When I lived in Dublin, there was a restaurant on Stephens Green that had Blue Bell Homemade vanilla flown in daily. The Irishters never could understand why I always wanted to go there until they tasted the ice cream. Also, there is (at least used to be) BB Homemade vanilla at all of the Outback Steakhouses. The guy who owned them (and Fridays) lived in Hurst (he owned Dalt's where Italiannies is now as well). In the it's a small world department to which we belong. His daughter and my wife were best friends when they moved to the Boston suburbs in the mid-90s...

TX,

You ate ice-cream and don't remember it?!

That's worse than blacking out and having crazy sex!

Not that I have experience in that department.

I know, J! It's awful!

Yeah, I don't have experience in the blacking out (from crazy amounts of tequilla) and having crazy sex, either! LOL

When you partner says, "wow you were off the charts last night." and you think, "we had sex?"

Wow...so I'm really not alone in this! Hilarious! Hubby still refers to that night during our vacation in 96!

I have forgotten sex too.

J I see you lost a pound you foxy little minx

Stef I have had vicodin induced comas like that.

I am making DH apply to work at the Whole Foods in Ann Arbor. If by the grace of God he got the job I would enjoy the 20% food discount. The cashiers there make like almost the same as he does as a friggin manager and they get 100% paid benefits and food discount. I would be in organic heaven.

Whole Foods is on my list of places I will apply to after the MBA.

They've got good politics and their market value trends upward.

Oh, and if it's a big Whole Foods they have a hella fabulous wine selection! I'll have to tell Alison there's one in Ann Arbor. We've been known to drive there for shopping...there or Grand Rapids because there aint shit in Kalamazoo.

TX-Funny about that night in '96. Good thing you were with someone you trust....hehehe.

I love vicodin comas. I had one of those Tuesday night. Cough Syrup and vicodin combo...I slept like a baby...a baby on benadryl.

      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.
