Shrinking Violets Part 4



Recommended Posts

Yay, Haydee.... thank you for giving me an assignment to help me procrastinate on doing my work... I WAS folding sheets to avoid working... but this was much more enjoyable!! :)

It IS a tough call -- they're both great! If I had to choose, I think I'd go w/the Hazel West, though... I liked the playfulness of a lot of the shots... but it's so hard to choose... they obviously showcase just their good stuff, lol! It was fun to see wedding ideas from the other pics as well... floral arrangements, etc... I know, I'm so sneaky!!

Don't listen to her, Haydee. She's only been through 1 wedding. I've been through 4. I'm experienced. And old.

Well, you started it!! :tt2: I would've been too polite to mention it... :tongue2:

You'll get more input Haydee, I'm sure, knowing this group!... They must not be in avoidance mode like me! Altho... I do have the book actually open now... there's nothing like hunkering down with "Employment Discrimination Law", y'know? Good times, good times...

I just have to keep reminding myself that this is DISNEY $$ I'm earning!! That usually kicks my butt in gear!

Ugh, I'm in avoidance mode today too. I've got tons of purchase orders to sort through and match up to their invoices. Gross... I've been looking at wedding ideas all morning...

I'm seriously worried about my date being booked at church. They won't let me book until we go through the counseling session and then a session with the priest. So each day I'm calling the church to make sure they haven't booked my day.

Oh and my body seriously likes 247. I've been at this exact weight for more months than I care to count. I'll lose a few or gain a few but always come back within a week. Boo... :tongue2:

you guys are funny

OMG, not very sunny today but HUMID!!! I did my walk in 35mins, record time and sweat... YUCK

Haydee

2tbs smart butter

1/4 onion

5 baby carrots

dash of cyanne pepper

big dash of paprika

dash of white pepper (i like this better)

Saute the onions, carrots (chopped very fine) and spices in butter.

1 large carton of chicken broth

1 can of chicken broth

2tbs flour

I have found it best to add the can to the mix and get it hot, put flour and a little broth from the large container in a jar and mix well, add to pot and wisk, no lumps and very nic. add rest of broth.

Bring to a boil and add:

16oz canned chicken

4 cups 2% cheese - i used sharp cheddar

simmer 15 mins turn off

add 1 container of fat free sour cream, mix in and you are done

It was very good

Uh oh.... Ethan and I went to McDonald's for a Happy meal for him and a cheeseburger for me and when we got back my laptop was on the floor. I usually have it on a tv tray next to the chair here. Either the dog or the cat knocked it off. The wireless mouse was plugged into the usb port on the side and that was totally ruined. Both the usb ports there are mangled. Luckily I have another on the other side. grrrrrrrr Wonder what that would cost to fix??? Maybe I can just live with one rather than three. sigh

Russell stepped on my mouse/usb drive on my laptop, broke my laptop. It kept saying the usb drive was overloaded (with nothing plugged in). So we got one of our older laptops out of the closet (we have 4 now, each with something wrong with it...) I keep having to pick the lesser of 4 evils. The one I'm using now is super slow, but the USB works..

Getting ready to go do our shift at the hospital. By the way, did I tell you I didn't get the job? There was a nurse from the OR that also put in for it and since she already works there, they gave her the job. Maybe next time.

I keep knocking my mouse thing around and I lose usage of it. I have to wiggle it around to get the mouse to work.

The scale has not moved in 3 days. I hate it but am not losing hope.

Haydee, I did like the first site but there were a few pics in the second one that I thought were precious. Good Luck picking.

      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.
