Busy day for me. Gotta take Sis to her Doc appointment. Than our monthly family Breakfast. Take Sis to go get her meds and grocery shop. Women's Ministry meeting tonight, we are meetingat "Zio's".

Has anyone tried that "Ped Egg" yet?? My neighbor had one and showed me so I ran out and got 2. I really like mine. So very easy to use.

Everyone have a great day and don't forget it's .............................

:biggrin:Ladies~ Seriously...I live a couple of miles from the airport in Palm Springs! A Labor Day Violet Blowout or mini blowout would be great! The closet sleeps 4 plus I have 2 couches!!! I'd love to host a mini Violet trip!!!

OK...I am in a meeting all day:biggrin: good and bad. Good, I am not w/ the chilren (said w/ a deep southern drawl) but I can't pop in on my Violets:frown:

Susie, I am so jealous about the pool...whenever it gets there! I can't wait until we put our in (we are about 4-5 years out).

Good Morning, Violets..

It's a lazy day here today. No meetings, no Ethan, no nuthin. We're supposed to get thunderstorms today and that always sends Jetta, the garage dog, into hysterics. The Bobster has to get the cover on the boat propped up so rain doesn't collect in it. I bought him a new system, but after opening it today we discover a wing nut is missing.. grrrrrrrrrr

Pa-MEL-a.... though I would LOVE to come out over Labor Day, I just checked prices and it would cost about $800 for a ticket not including the hotel cost for us because the airport is 5 hours from here. I didn't even check on connecting flights as that would up the cost even more. The crisis for airlines is in the news a lot now. Prices up, service down. Not so sure I'll be flying much in the future. Luckily our upcoming cruise flight tickets were bought almost a year ago. If we want to meet sooner than a year out, I sure hope it's somewhere we all can get to otherwise I'll be really sad!!!:thumbup::frown::thumbup:

And thanks for the Red Wings mention, too. I'm happy at least one sports team from Michigan was able to do well! The Detroit Pistons basketball coach was fired and some of the players will be gone too. As an avid Pistons fan I'm holding my breath until I hear who will be leaving.

Terry - Tue or Wed work for me. Tracy? What day works for you? Where do ya'll want to meet?

I'm in for Palm Springs! I just checked and the airfare is around $350 plus or minus. Not bad at all. What specific days are ya'll thinking?

I'm so glad it's Thursday. I've got plans to go to the pool with girlfriends on Saturday and my Sunday will be spent cleaning my house. I've really neglected it these past few weeks. Well no, actually it's been a few months! I'm so bad... Haven't dusted or vacummed or nothing. I've pretty much just done the absolute basic. I've got tons to do... Yuck.

My parents house is almost ready. We're only waiting on the carpet to be installed but unfortunately the one they want is on back order so they are waiting on it to come in. Then comes moving day. The day I've dreaded since this plan came into fruition. That's going to be the worst. She's got soooooo much stuff. I'm telling her that we're only moving what she actually wants and everything else will stay at her old house and we're just gonna have a huge garage sale. Do ya'll like to go to garage sales? I loooooveeee them. And flea markets too.

Well back to work for me... Today is our order/inventory day and i'm supposed to be in the warehouse instead i'm here!

Hey Violets~

350 to Palm Springs is cheap! Also, I mentioned it to someone Ontario California (not Canada, lol Tracy) is 1.5 hours away and is cheaper to fly into. Some violets could get together and rent a car/van and drive the straight shot on the 10 freeway!!! LAX would work too, but w/ LA traffic and it being 2.5 hours away, it is a bit more!

I told ya'll I flew from PS to Phoenix for $704 (would have been $550 had I booked it early). Anywho...it was gonna be $120 from Ontario to Phoenix. So it is cheaper...but PS airport is 2 miles away.

I am still at meeting. Just ate lunch (I won't tease w/ the details) but now we have an afternoon of meetings, but now I need a nap!

      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.
