Happy New Year, everybody!

DD and grandbaby are still in bed. They had a loooong day yesterday. Got on a plane at 1:00 my time and didn't get in until 7:30! Baby did wonderful and slept through most of it. She is absolutely THE most happy, placid baby I have ever met -- and her mommy was pretty dang placid herself. I don't plan on letting her go back to Houston. :Yawn:

PJTP that I'm watching the Rose Bowl Parade. I was in marching band in HS (flute/piccolo, then rifle). The RBP is 5 miles - can you imagine? Whew! We did the Fiesta Bowl Parade and it was only 3 miles but we were worn out!

I'd forgotten that everything has to be organic in the RBP - very cool!

Happy 2009!!!

Question: Monday (I think) there was some discussion on a thread somewhere (I've been searching and can't find where it is) about a book that was written by a guy (Dewey, I think) about lap band surgery that was touted as being pretty good. Anybody on here the author of that post who can tell me the name of the book and verify the author?

I remember that the day I was being filled I had actually found ONE Barnes and Noble store that had the book, and it happened to be right by my fill doctor. However, in all the excitement, I completely forgot about it.

Thanks!

**Question** - so I got another fill Tuesday. It takes me quite a while to get down a Protein Shake and a handful of nuts hurt going down (yes I chew chew chew). That seems too tight to me but I don't have the history y'all have. Opinions?

Thanks so much!

Give it a few days to see if it will loosen on it's own. Sometimes fills just get looser in a few days. When you get past what ever plan your doctor has you on after a fill, if you can't eat hard Protein like chicken without throwing it up, you might consider having a bit taken out. You'll have to chew the chicken until it's liquid in your mouth though.

PJTP: I finally bought a magic bullet. It is so cool!

Beth- Your DD and DGD are so beautiful! I am so happy I got a chance to meet them. Maybe tomorrow the little one will be awake! :confused:

Ok, no way I am reading 23 pages to catch up.

I admit I do a lot of skimming.

DD and grandbaby are still in bed.

Did you get rid of your other guests?

Mine broke my crown!

i'm sorry, every time i read "magic bullet" ... i think of some other type of bullet ... ahem, yeah...

Did you get rid of your other guests?

Yes we did, thank goodness! It would have just been impossible with so many people in this house. He took it way better than I imagined. He said, "Hey, family is family." That made it easy.

Did lots of visiting yesterday - brunch with one SD and her fiance; visit with :SIL/BIL; then to DH's ex-SD house; then to DH's other ex-SD house; then dinner with DH's ex; visit with other SD.

Question:: does anyone else think it is weird that DH's ex has on her bedroom wall, the wedding photo of her and her ex's (she has been married and divorced twice)? Not family photos with her children (I'd understand that), but the wedding photos?

DH says: female equivalent of notches on the bedpost. :confused:

Yes. You look fabulous!

He said, "Hey, family is family." That made it easy.

No awdwardness. That's great.

Enjoy your visitors!
