I'm hungry!! What's for Breakfast everyone?

Well I worked on scheduling the rest of my vacation (I get 5 weeks!), cramming it into the next 5 months and that has helped my attitude a wee bit. Have a bit of travel planned in there too...so I might just make it after all without going totally insane. I wish I could jet off like Haydee or Judy, though. Man! What a life that would be. My DH is vacation-resistent...don't ask me why. So I generally plan little trips here and there with friends, but no big fancy vacations with my DH... not even a weekend away. <shrug> <sigh> Oh well. Things could be worse!

I'm still hungry. Guess I'll go make my breakfast. Cottage cheese and pineapple this morning. :thumbdown:

Love ya's!

Wouldn't it be cool if we could meet for breaky?? I wish! Terry...don't forget your little weekend getaway w/ some girlfriends in June! I can't wait to chill w/ my violets!

Wednesday...ho hum! mid week...blah! I am actually feeling a bit "under the weather" today, and actually wish I could call in sick. HAHA...6 days to go, but yes, i still need a day off!

Had dinner last night w/ Rob and Charles...it was fun! Nothing planned for tonight...aahhhh!

What else is going on??? Susanne has a week (or so, may do it over spring break) to decide where we are going on vacay. Alaska was too much $, she freaked out. So, I said, pick somewhere...anywhere...i dont care, just want to have something on the books. I have my June trip, and in August, I need to go to Reno/Tahoe to spread dad's ashes (hardly a vacay). So...I'll share with you when she makes the announcement!

Have a great day chicas!

I can't see that Michelle, but that would be awesome!

Good morning lovies! Hope everyone had a good night.

Terry breakfast today is blueberry yogurt with granola. I haven't had it yet though. Just busy busy busy here today. My boss left us a massive to-do list for us here at the office. He always does that!

Sorry about your situation with your hubby not wanting to go on vacation Terry. That sucks! Juan was like that at first because he was never used to it. His parents never took him anywhere growing up. But after hanging around with me and my family he loves going away. He does NOT like the planning part though. He leaves all that up to me...

Skin tags... my best friend has always had some around her neck. I've always wanted to take some scissors and just snip them off!! I know, i'm so bad! She's never let me though, LOL.

TracyK - you live close now! we really should get together soon. if you jump on the beltway and i jump on the beltway we can meet halway!

I don't see any ads for W.D.

I am tired. Don't want to work today. It is a long day without a lot of customers! But, more than I had yesterday!! I did three people yesterday!! That gets me to the Illinois border for our trip, and for those who don't know I am like 10 minutes away from Illinois!! I am kind of worried about my business, but everyone is slow.

Well I am off to to some errands before work!! Believe it or not, got up and took a shower as soon as I got up, instead of waiting til the last minute!!

Hey V's..

I am 1.5cm dialated, but my cervix moved down some.. wee?? I asked her if I should be doing anything to help it out, she said.. have sex, and walk.

She said if the baby is down in the pelvis, I am at least 5cm dialated and effaced by the 39th week she will induce (If I want her to). I probably will, despite my doubts of pitocin! She said she'd also break the Water that day, so it would be all or nothing. She said I can go natural if I want, but they won't let me go past 41 weeks. I'd rather have him in 39th week, of course.. I wanna hold him!!!

So I told her I'd think about it, but right now that's where I'm leaning--although my mom is against all that, so that'll be a fun argument if I decide to do it.

My breakfast is a quaker minidelights.

Our phones at work are broken right now, all the extensions are messed up..my phone keeps ringing once then stopping.

Hope ya'll have a good April 1!

Laura, if you induce a week early...that will be in 2 weeks! I am sure you already figured that out...but I am just "getting it" and am soooo excited about it! I defend 2 weeks from today (AAAHHHH!:thumbdown:) and you could deliver 2 weeks from tomorrow! WHAT A GREAT WEEK THAT WILL BE!

TracyK~ I wanna meet tomorrow for lunch!

Well, I woke up feeling crappy...and I called my chiro @ 7am and told them on the machine they need to squeeze me in at 9:45ish. Everyday i get a prep period for an hour (and this year, it is backed up against my lunch) and so my friend and I are going to run to the doc, then go to lunch. I know it is early for everyone else in the world, but we eat lunch daily at 10:30! That is why I am usually starving at 2pm when school is out!

The ultrasound last week said 6lb6oz, and today from her feeling all over me said she thinks he is 7lb now, and he measured 41cm (which is 4 weeks ahead again!!).

I think the induction sounds better just because it sounds like I got a giant growing in there.

I didn't gain any weight this week (thank goodness) but he did, so that means I lost weight.. right?!

Wow, Carson's on his way. Almost.

Up from my nap. It felt kinda good. Now the antibiotics are causing my tummy to feel uckkkky. Hubby's having fun cleaning the stitches. He said there is a big bruise all the way around it. The swelling in the eyelids is still there, just not as bad.

yep! sounds like it! that's awesome!

i bought this package of frozen wonton Soup bowls from costco. omg, they are so so good. they would be amazing with some hot chili oil. they are shrimp wontons and the skins are so thin and light. If you like wontons then you know what i'm talking about, LOL. Now I wish i would have brought two bowls!

      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.
