Good morning, Violets..

58 degrees and pouring rain....i just don't get this summer. At least I got in the pool last night at 6 after all the day's activities. Doesn't look good for pool time today.

PamELa.. your face looks really good!! Glad the healing process is on schedule.

Janie.. sounds like you're doing well on your weight loss! congrats!!!

Suzie...hope you get some pool time today. I'm probably not. dang.

Laura..thanks for the baby clothes email. The prices looks really good. I forwarded it on to Kris.

I'm off to get some Breakfast and find something warm to wear today. Can't believe it's August 3 and so darn chilly!

Oh... got my first social security check on Saturday!!! I'm old, but I'm richer than I was on Friday.. :):tt2::)

Everyone have a great day. Be good to yourselves!!

You crack me up, Judy... "I'm old, but I'm richer than I was on Friday..." lol!

Laura... I like Russ's haircut! and of course the pic of the lil' man...

I cooked a big dinner yesterday, too, Suzie... ribs, mediterranean salad, Pasta salad, and a chocolate molten cake... took all afternoon & used every pan in the house!

Way to go on the July challenge, Janie! Even better on the affirmations!!

I've warned the kids that @ 9am we're attacking the house & cleaning like crazy 'til the job is done... it's not soooo bad, but it's also worse than I like it to get...

Then it's driving time for me... my mom taxi is back in business... taking kids to & fro, up & down the hiway, to their different activities on different sides of town at almost the same times... I am superwoman!!

Enjoy the day!

ohhh laura, carson looks so cute in that granbee pic. I hope he gets to keep those gorgeous blue eyes... My baby fever is escalating too! At first we were saying that we would start trying in August of next year. That way we are fully recovered from the wedding and have built some of our savings back up. Now we are saying the heck with it! We are hoping to get preggo on our honeymoon, LOL. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it happened on our first try?? I can only pray!

This weekend I booked my videoagrapher. First major wedding purchase! I found the guy at the wedding show we went to last weekend and showed Juan a DVD of his work. He loved it so I arranged an appointment. We went Sunday and what normally would have been an hour appointment turned into a two hour geek fest. They couldn't stop talking about all the equiment and the different TV's and all the different software. Pure geek... I was content to sit and watch wedding videos while they went on and on, LOL.

My next major booking will be a photographer. I'm so overwhelmed with all the choices! I don't know how to pick! I'm mostly going off referrals...

Terry - who was the photog for Richard's daughter's wedding? Did you like the pics?

Thanks for all the book recomendations girls. I've added them to my book list. I had run out of books to read so I was re-reading "Good News about Sex and Marriage", LOL. It's on my nightstand and I go through it every once in awhile...

Haydee - Look on Facebook for Scott Albright. He's a family friend (didn't do Alyssa's wedding though -- Scott wasn't full-time then). If his profile is public, I think he's got photos posted there. He has a myspace page too MySpace - DS Photography - 37 - Male - MISSOURI CITY, Texas - myspace.com/ds_photog. He's probably very reasonable.

I"ll ask Richard who Alyssa used. Probably NOT so reasonable! LOL ;-)

Laura, I loved Snowflower & The Secret Fan, awesome booik and I have read it more than once (which should say something). Carson is such a cutie and I love the roly poly, pinchable thigh stage :0). Ayla is just beginning to get the same look, lol.

I hope Macy is feeling so much better. I wouldn't wish a stone on my worst enemy and I can't imagine a child suffering through it.

Summer here in Ohio has been crazy too. It never really got warm at all this summer.

Happy Monday everyone.

Hey Girls~

I am up and showered! Big accomplishment here. I stayed up way late and read The Glass Castle...OMG...they best book ever. I am 1/2 way done, yet am sad that it is almost over. I love this book. I was bummed for the first few days after the surgery I couldn't read too well. Keep getting neosporin in my eyes, lol!

NOt sure what is going on today w/ us. We have no plans, but are a bit stir crazy. Stitches out tomorrow!!! But still looking a bit beat up, so cant do much! I am very happy w/ both eyes and chin. The chin has numbness still, and pockets of Fluid, but it looks sooo great w/o all the doubleness of the double chin!

Been having a hell of a time eating. Usually, I am more active (sometimes even work out) and can eat something. But with all this laying about, my band is hella tight. I did get a fill a week before the surgery...maybe not a good idea. I eat a yogurt and granola for breaky, and then after that...I am out of ideas. I made some tuna yesterday, which was great! Gonna make a ceasar sal today as well. It has just been hard figuring it out. I ate some chips...then felt sick to my stomach. Plus I am taking the antibiotics, which kinda upsets my tummy...'NUF COMPLAINING...sorry guys!

Have a great day! If you have not read this book, I HIGHLY recommend it. What an amazing story!

I bought an outfit for him a while back and forgot about it (saw it in the closet yesterday). Thank goodness I saw it, he's almost out of that size!! But I put it on, it is SO CUTE. I love the poofy plaid pants (they have a pocket on the butt too hehe).

Pam, not that there was any doubt that you'd like it... but the ending is very good too!!

Judy I saw your comment at the end about every teacher should read it. It's been a year, I don't remember anything about teachers, am I brain farting? ?

Just got back from the band doc. We were sure I had a leak so I went to CMC Mercy to radiology. Cannot see a leak under x-ray – it could be so small that it is a drop every 15 minutes….. The doctor knows what he put in today and I see him in 2 ½ weeks. Maybe I just need him doing the adjustments?? Last Wednesday the resident could only get 1 cc. Today the doc said he pulled out another 2 cc (I was supposed to be totally unfilled).

So we are still in wait mode…..but at least now I have 7 ccs in my band!! I love restriction!! liquids today and maybe tomorrow. 7 ccs is where I was when I last was doing well – December / January.

Thanks for the prayers and good wishes!!

Just found out some news that pissed me off. I have a hippie aunt in Canada, she's lived there over 20 years.

She apparently has dual-citizenship (why????).

Anyway she came down to America to vote for Obama, then went back home to Canada. What the hell???

And she's happy with what he's doing so far; yeah it doesn't effect her one iota. Pisses me off.

Laura,

I love that posting on FB! I think Judy (mind you, I am only 1/2 done) thinks that it is a great teacher read because of the insight it has on kids, and what they bring to the classroom. I KNOW there are many kids that the only meal they get is at lunch at school (yes, free lunch)...but that is ALL they get. It is sad on Friday cause you know they wait all weekend. That is just my 2 cents on why I think Judy said that about teachers...it is an amazing read! Back to it!

Did you buy the CD or just download that song? If you downloaded it, also do "She" it is whimsical as well...love that entire CD!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
