Good Morning Girls

I worked like a dog all weekend sewing and my poor finger tips are so sore, but good news. I'm all done. I just need to see about getting it framed. I'm taking off after work and going to see what I can find and hopefully finish up my SS shopping.

Jane, hope your test go well today.Good Luck.

Jenn, hope your hanging in there.

Terri, I took doggie for a walk yesterday and had to pick him up several times just to keep him out of fights. There are several pitt bulls around here and they scare me. Not for myself but what they could do to a chihuahua.

Judy, I'm so glad you like your new journal. I had thought about writing a ittle something in it, I guess I should have.

Everyone have a great week and lets concentrate on doing good with our choices of food.< /span>

Hugs.

Good Morning, Violets..

Jane.. I'm tempted to say.. "you go, girl", but I'm betting you have done that a LOT!! Good luck with the procedure. I watched mine the last time. Very interesting..

Susie.. I'm on day 2 of the journal. What a treat to write in such a nice book every day.

I'm off to take my friend to her last radiation treatment! Then just relaxing for the day until rehearsal tonight for the Messiah concert this Sunday. I'm going to wrap up my SS gifts and get them in the mail today for sure.

Guess what??? We're under a winter storm watch for tonight through Wednesday with 6+ more inches of snow expected. wooooooo hooooooooooo! Anyone want to trade places with me???? It is truly beautiful out there, but it's going to be a very long winter.

I am still here!! I was hoping to sleep later, that way I wouldn't want coffee as early!

Congrats Suzanne!! That little simple gnome thing is getting on my nerves!!!

Suzanne or Tracyks, my cousin lives in Shawnee Kansas and I want to get a gift certificate for a nice wine store by them, any ideas? Tracyks I think you are much closer, but not real sure. You can send me a number if you find one on email. If you don't it is no big deal. They are kind of wine snobs so it needs to be nicer than Leo's liquor.

Tracyk, oh my gosh I am so bad in the diet buddy department!!!

Have a nice day, I can't believe how close it is getting to Christmas!!

LOL -- picking my dog up is not an option!! Wish it was! Did you know that pit bulls are illegal in France?...and probably elsewhere...but Heaven forbid, not in Texas! Actually we haven't had any problems with pit bulls at the park, thankfully.

Hey girls~

Rough night here, didn't sleep well, and even when I woke up at 2 I wanted to get up and eat! WTH??? I am hoping you are right Terry and it is the meds, my gosh this is horrible! I am going to call today about a fill appointment. Hate like you know what to spend that money this time of year, but good grief, I will be back to the weight my MIL thinks I am if I wait too long!

Today Kinsey and I are off to the dollar store to buy some small tinsel and glitter, to decorate her star for the church christmas pageant. They brought her star by, and it is not a standard 5 point star, it has 10-12 points and I am supposed to find her nose, poke a hole, and cut points out from it, so when she puts it on her face, the star points poke outwards.....AND figure out a way for it to stay on her face. This program is being done by my cousins wife, who has no kids, and I am afraid no idea!!!

I am going to dig through my halloween stuff and see if I can find an old mask and use the elastic with the little metal tabs--------but with tinsel and glitter and all on this it is going to make it pretty heavy for a tiny elastic to hold it on a tiny head!

AND I am going to the practice tomorrow night---she has gone to 2 with my Mom while Mom attends choir practice the kids practice in the educational building. But she comes here and says her line she has to say is "We are just little stars, to small to see the baby Jesus". I have issue with that! No child should ever be given any reason to think they are too small to see Jesus.....so I want to see the rest of practice to see if it is worked in, so I can reinforce that thought here. Even Manda said she thought it was a wierd line. And my cousin said the other kids are singing Away in A Manger, but that the little stars were not practicing because they were too little to learn it.......but Kinsey already knows it and sings it. So I kinda want to see for myself what this is all about!

I need to get busy wrapping! I have lots to wrap, and no boxes! Oh! The stocking is as done as I can get it until he gets here and is given a name! Then I will officially finish it, til then I am done! Outside and inside are all decorated. Most of my cards are done, need to go buy stamps today. Still have my baking to do....and peanuts to roast...lots and lots of peanuts!!!

Connor cried when we left the Chinese restaurant last night, he was still not ready to go home, he wanted to come with us. What a sweetie he was yesterday. I wish I had him for a few days straight---I would do my dangdest to potty train him. He is going on 3, and is ready, he uses the words for everything, and knows to bring you a diaper, so he is ready---I guess the parents are not. I changed a poopy diaper yesterday, and if he were at my house, I would not be able to potty train him fast enough! GAH!!! Nasty, nasty, nasty!!!

Kinsey had her Polar Express ride last night. And loved it, they sat with one of Manda's co workers and his kids----3 year old twin boys and their 5 year old brother. Kinsey freaked out on the twins. Her twin cousins here, are one set of boy girl, and one set of fraternal girls--but she was VERY concerned that (as she told her Mom) there were 2 boys with one face! She could not tell which one was which so she referred to the both as twin!!!

Well my neighbor is ready to go, I offered to take her to the dollar store with me. So will be back in awhile!

Had some Japanese chicken for lunch, and then a frosted cookie from the cookie factory in the mall (omg), still working on it actually heh.

Went to hobby lobby with mom, everything is 50% off, if we didn't have something specific we were buying I would have gone absolutely nuts (and I didn't bring my money).

My new tables come today, going to go home early and set those up, then going to my parents to help set up their Christmas tree, then do some craft my mom found.. carnation trees or something..

I got a Christmas card today and swore it came from Terri till I opened it and saw that it was signed by TracyK. Those puppies on front were so cute and Terri's name popped in my head. Surprise. LOL.

      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.
