Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here



Recommended Posts

The weather is starting to change here. It' supposed to start raining tonight and the cold air will be moving in with it. I'm ready for it. It keeps me inside and I need to be here. I still have some work that needs to be done on my Violets Christmas present. Need to get my little fingers moving with the needle. I probably have about another 20 hours of work left on it to do. I'll take a pic of it and after my Secret Violet receives it, I will post it for all of you to see.

Watching Emeril right now. Making me hungry.

It's not a proud day for me!! I have never, ever been so depressed over an election in my adult life. You can mark my words and take note....we will ALL be worse off 4 years from now as we are today. I know it as sure as I know the sun will rise tomorrow.

I'm gonna 'check out' for awhile and let you all Celebrate ....... I just can't take it.

That's what I was wondering Haydee, looks like we could change the color.

We watched McCain speak to congratulate Obama, and all the crowd was yelling out stuff and Boo'ing everytime he said Obama or Biden. Was real surprising. I wanted McCain to win too, but this isn't like a football game..

Anyway, time to start hoarding money!!

My friend brought in some mexican Breakfast this morning. We went to a restaurant last night and she was talking about this mexican b'fast, so she said she'd make it for today. It was good, I've actually made something similar before but mine was too cream cheesy and too rich to eat. It's just sausage and cream cheese in a crust. Was so good, one tiny square was great.. little rough going down but I managed. And because I managed, I had to get another piece?! Now I'm PBing.. wee.

I by no means was "celebrating" out of respect for my republican sisters. I think we should go back to not talking about it at all.

All I was trying to say was that the past few elections have been riddled with problems and one side has felt that the elections had not been completely fair. The election process went smoothly this time and there were no major problems reported.

Can we move past this? In every election there is going to be a winner and a loser. If McCain had won I would have been dissapointed but I would not have been a sore loser.

I have enough of the moaning and groaning about doom and gloom at home. I come here to escape all that. I love you guys and this has always been a refuge for me.

Back from rehearsal. Two hours of playing flute is a little much for this old lady, but I sure do love it. We are playing for the senior citizens again on the 19th.

Ethan kind of demolished the house while I was gone. Poppa is not the world's best babysitter. He kinda gets lost in his own world when he's watching the tv or reading.

Now I can take a breather for the rest of the day and Ethan is now laying on the couch so if he takes a nap, so do I!

Catch you all later.

This is going to be probably one of the most silly questions BUT:

I want to make Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving. I want that really yummy kind with the french onions on the top...really GOOD. How do I make it?

And YES, I am trying to change the subject. :biggrin:

      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.
