Suzanne, it was really warm here too. I know they have opened up the pool here at my house, but never use it.

I haven't a clue about what to do.

A friend of mine came over tonight and we just sat and talked, and okay we had pizza!

Work tomorrow so no long weekend for me!! Since Sunday and Monday are my normal days off..........

Alright, nothing more to say......

The wedding was wonderful. Skies cleared up enough to let them do their vows outdoors, and it was beautiful. The groom (my boy) could not control his emotions, he cried when he saw her, and later during his toast to his bride, he told her he was just overcome with emotion to realize he would have her as his wife forever. Was not a dry eye in the house I don't think. Kinsey was in awe over "our bride"--she thought she was "the most beautiful girl ever!" She and Ray --Becky's grandson, complete in black tux with tails---danced, and held hands all over the place! They were adorable! But the highlight of her night was the bride dancing with her!! I would have loved to have gotten her picture tho during the garter ceremony!

They had Cory remove the garter with his teeth---and on the other side of the dance floor, Manda was standing behind a chair with Kinsey standing in the chair in front of her watching the bouquet be tossed, and then the garter. Well Cory is down on one knee, and he is searching for the garter---and he dives under her dress---actually rather modestly, but the look on Kinsey's face was PRICELESS!!! She did the big "O" with her mouth and jerked around to look at her Mommy like 'what in the hell is he doing?' kind of look, it was hilarious!!!

The event center they had the wedding at was gorgeous!!! Not fancy, but classy in a rustic kind of way. Colorado mountains....hard to beat. The website does not do it justice, it is www.bluelakeranch.com I believe. Gives you an idea, but the enormity of the actual place is not even close in the pictures. The rain had everything green. It was so nice.

We just got home, and I am leaving before 6 in the morning, so I better get to bed, and try to sleep. I think I have enough warm clothes and rain gear packed.....if not, that is what the vendors are for I guess!!!

Y'all have a great weekend, and I'll see ya after the rally.

hugs

I'm out of the pool, for a little while.

We went to a graduation party for our old next door neighbor. They moved away about 10 years ago but we have kept in touch with them. Had a great time. I did real good on my eating. I brought a piece of grad cake home and pretended it was birthday cake for Janie.

Jane, Hope you had a wonderful day.

Back to the pool now.

Good Eve, Dearies,

Suzie, your day sounds divine! Floating, partying, floating! :wink2:

The kids had soccer + horseback riding today... then I had to work (I need to get ahead of the game for next week)... & now I'm preparing a honkin' cookout... burgers, dogs, coleslaw, exploded potatoes, sauteed onions & mushrooms, bacon, cheese, corn on the cob... mmmmmmmmmmmm.... I'm done my part, now DH needs to get a-grillin'! We're going to eat outside on the patio... we hardly ever use it... but each year we vow that we will... & the kids love it... so maybe this year is THE year!

Enjoy whatever it is you're doing!!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

Had a busy day at work, was by myself and booked so that is always kind of hectic.

Then went to mom and dads and my mom and I went shopping. Two things I learned tonight.

Good--I had to show my license and the women said I had really lost a lot of weight and look much better now. Made me feel good since I am struggling.....

Not so good--I am totally out of shape. My mom uses a wheelchair and my dad said are you sure you can get it out of the trunk twice, I said sure if a 75 year old man can wheel my mom around I can lift it out of the trunk two times. Well I did it, but wow am I ever out of shape!!!!!!!!! I am totally pooped from walking all over with my mom in a wheelchair!!!

Tomorrow we are seeing "A Chorus Line" my parents are taking me out to brunch for my birthday.

I might buy a car on Monday, anybody have any words of wisdom on a Toyota Yaris?

Oh well off for the night to see all my purchases from shopping!

      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.
