So weird ya'll are commenting on mattress size. We have a queen size and my mom called me this morning wanting to know if I wanted her King Size mattress. They've had it less than a year and it's a very luxurious pillowtop but have figured out that they got a better night's sleep on their old rock hard mattress, LOL. So she was asking me if we wanted it. I enjoy our closeness now and would really miss that if we got a king size... Plus we're doubly snuggly because we sleep with 4 dogs on the bed and they take up half the bed, LOL!

Now everyone tell me how good I did....LOL

I went to the store and right inside the front door, are baskets full of leftover Valentines Day candy 66% off. I resisted, even though there was a bag of Reeces hearts right on top that made my own heart skip a beat. Went and got my meds and left!

You are my IDOL!!! I am not worthy!!!

Sorry been gone all day -- board meeting week here and of course they all wait until THE DAY BEFORE to dump all the work on me!! Sheesh. Speaking of....gotta run!

Hey Girlies...

Busy day...finished up & mailed out a big editing job... but mostly I'm just TIRED! I think it's because I'm on hyper-alert when dh is out of town, I know I don't sleep well, & now that he's home, I think my system crashed & is trying to catch up...

Love to all...

Just talked to Manda, she has not seen the Dr yet, he does rounds after office hours I guess. But she said she thinks it is losing some of the redness. Oh how I hope so!!!!

On a different note....my DS and DIL are talking about splitting up, and they have another baby due in August. Morons I swear!

Laura -- I've had the Kashi frozen pizza with just cheese and tomatoes, but I always added extra Protein (pepperoni) to it. It wasn't bad. Not the best I've ever had but not a bad frozen pizza. I bought more than one... Haven't tried anything else they make though.

The server is now back up, but discovered today that for some reason (the IT people can't tell me why) every back up done between Dec 8th and now apparently failed for the network files. So I lost EVERY excel spreadsheet I had done for year end and January month end. The audit is due to Italy by this Friday and I have lost 6 weeks worth of work... I need a new job. I don't drink often, but decided that taco bell for dinner and their strawberry mango fruitista with a large shot of rum would hit the spot. I may be heading off to bed before the end of The Mentalist.

Kat -- I am so glad to hear Manda is doing better!! Sorry to hear about your son and DIL.

Judy --I hope Ethan's mom continues to take her meds!!

I did do one fun thing over the weekend. I worked at a Habitat for Humanity house here in Charlotte for four hours, in the rain. But it was fun nonetheless. The realtor that sold my first house had asked all his previous clients to participate for Valentine's Day. They were working on framing and getting the outside walls covered with OSB and foam insulation. It was too wet and muddy to try to put the roof trusses in place so we only worked a half day. I don't know that I could have lasted a full day.

Sorry everyone I know this post is all over the place, but that's the kind of day I had. Here's to a better tomorrow!! (raises glass) :thumbup:

Eh Terry, some days they are not too bad, other days my hives have hives....go figure.

Manda said her Dr. come in tonight, and was thrilled with the progress of her ear. He said he will likely keep her through the week, and possibly discharge her to home to finish up with the antibiotics, then when they see how much is healed with the drugs then they will discuss excision of the dead tissues.

I am so beyond happy I could just dance!

Anybody wanna dance????

Thanks for the good news, Kat!!! What a relief!

SuziT... Jen seems to be doing better. She is going to the doc for a follow up tomorrow and then will start back to work on Thursday. She sounded much better on the phone today. Now hopefully I can get back to concentrating on the new grand baby due in a week.

Our church here in Alpena started Habitat in our town. We have about 15 Habitat houses in our small town. Did you hear that Millard Fuller recently died??

Sorry to hear about losing all that work. Will you be able to recreate it in time??

Law and Order SVU is almost over and then it's time for bed. Ethan will be here at 8 tomorrow morning. Everyone have a good night..sleep well.. especially you, Kat!!!

Kat -- even better news!!!:party:I'll join the dancing!! My cat loves these guys!! Watch out, she'll lick the screen, blech!!

Judy -- Yeah, I did hear about Millard Fillmore at the build on Saturday.

About the lost work - I'm not sure I'm going to try to recreate all of it, just what I need to finish the audit. I did ask the auditors to send me back everything I had sent them. The only other option I have is to go through all my sent mail and save the attachments.

I was thinking your daughter is due any time. Do you know if it is a girl or a boy? My brother has three girls and loves every minute!!

sleep well everyone. Maybe the rum will kick in soon and I'll get sleepy. I may have to go read my book for a while.

Good morning ladies~

Kat...that is really good news! I would dance but I have only had one cup of coffee and I may fall down, lol. I am dancing on the inside though!!

The downsize of the mattress will take a little getting used to (size wise) but I can tell already that I am gonna love it. I woke up with ZERO back pain. Now it looks like my bedroom is HUGE!

While we were at the casino they had Community Cafe Blend coffee in the room. OMG that stuff was so good. So my mission today is to find it at one of our local stores. I know wal-mart doesn't have it so I have a couple more places to look. I may get on the website and make sure it wasn't a 'for hotels only' blend. That would suck.

Have a great day everyone! Respect the pouch! RESPECT IT! :blushing:

Good Morning, Violets..

Winter is back!! We got 3 inches of snow last night and it's still snowing. They are saying another 3 inches by tomorrow night. It's beautiful and covers up the yucky, dirty snow so I'll allow it!

SuzieT... Kris is due next Wednesday. She's just home nesting now, really uncomfortable and bored. I keep telling her to enjoy this quiet time because in a little while she'll wonder when it will ever be quiet again.

Ethan is here and of course is playing the Wii. He'll be here until about noon and then I'll have a little time to myself before choir this evening.

Bob has his last class to teach today and then he can rest up too. It takes a lot out of him to prepare for these.

Kat.. hope the news continues to be good today.

I'm off to get dressed for the day. Everyone have a good one. BBL...

I have a Kingsize bed and I LOVE IT! Not only do we not touch... we have a body pillow that goes between us we each have our own down comforters and about 4 pillows each! HEAVEN....... we sleep much better that way..... I am always hot, with a leg sticking out and I can NOT have my face covered...... where as DH is rolled up like a mummy..... when we are on vacation and forced to sleep in a smaller bed... I usually end up pushed off the side with no covers and I wake up TICKED OFF.....

192 today.......... and a fill scheduled for later this morning.

      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.
