Good Morning Gang..

Drive by before I hit the shower..

Karla - ya it's good to find things that keep you full for a long time. My little ones are fine with the baby gate and I put it in my door way so that Sheba has some peace from Ryder - He hasn't figured out he can jump it if he wanted to ;0)..

Phyl - Hugs on your weather - I am looking forward to our visit - but trying to think about winter clothes - is killing me.. It's not that hot here but 104 is a big diff than 60's - So am going to have to go find out where I packed my winter clothes..

Yep 1 week from Thursday - I will be arriving at 11:30 (I think) in Seattle - never been there - so Phyl if they have a waiting parking lot just wait there and I will call you when I land - I am going to do carry on - so don't have to wait for luggage..

Well, I just rechecked my travel arrangements.... and I have to be at the Buf airport for a 6:50 a.m. flight.... so we`ll have to leave W.B. around 2 a.m.... what was Ì` thinking when I booked THAT flight:confused:

Oh well, Peter`s driving so I can nap in the car:tongue2: starting pulling out stuff today for my suitcase... same clothes as I would wear if I were at home!!!

Gosh , I am hoping my Mom cancels her dental appt for tomorrow:angry: I really don`t want to sit in another dental office for 3 hours..

Bone scan for me on Thurs, plus my OWN dental appt...

food yest. was good, although I didn`t finish tracking for yest...

Okay, whew, a little breathing space. Got some laundry done, bills paid, now all I have left this week other than class is to finish my master's application and build the other dog gate. Today will be the test on the rebuilt one. Checked out the finances and it will be tight, but I do have the $$ for the July trip. Next week already?

I was so bummed when I found out that yesterday was the summer solstice. Heck I haven't had summer yet. Our average temperature for May was 47 degrees. I am SO looking forward to some organizing time. But I am chipping away at things. Now the sun is starting to leave, grrr.

Phyl, you will find the right furry, just keep looking. I'm glad Earl is changing his tune a little bit.

No Snacks yesterday afternoon!!! I had about 1/3 cup of veggi chili and a huge salad for lunch, I was full until about 8 pm. I think the trick was the chili. I am going to find a recipe for veggi chili and try to make some of my own, it really made my tummy happy. Well, need to kick it in gear, check back this evening, TTFN

Glad you're going to be able to come! Still chilly here... may hit 70 today, though, and the sun is out.

Yesterday must have been a day to make chili! We made some, too.. tasted it but we saved it for today's dinner. It's pretty healthy.... lean burger, lots of Beans (3 cans), lots of tomatoes, onions, green peppers. It's yummy!

Yes, Earl is definitely weakening about the dog! He still says he doesn't want one, but he's helping me look! I send him profiles that I find online and he rejects a lot of them... doesn't want a chihuahua, for example.... No short haired dog! I'm telling you.... he wants another Gigi! I found a really cute puppy online last night... very mellow, dachshund mix, 9 weeks old, sounds perfect...He says she looks TOO BIG!! I'll look at her anyways if they let me. This one you have to submit a "preliminary" questionnaire before they'll even take an application!

My keyboard quit working. Fortunately, SIL gave me one he didn't need a month or so ago. It's actually more convenient... lightweight and in my lap. Typing on my laptop is a bit of a stretch, so no big tragedy that it quit working, but just another annoyance... I won't buy another Acer laptop!! It's possible it has a key lock button somewhere that I inadvertently hit, but can't find one anywhere. So will live with this until I figure it out. I've rebooted several times to no avail!

Karla - ya it's good to find things that keep you full for a long time. My little ones are fine with the baby gate and I put it in my door way so that Sheba has some peace from Ryder - He hasn't figured out he can jump it if he wanted to ;0)..

Tracy has a very wide opening between the front part of her house and the kitchen/family room area. They got this really wide baby gate when they were still doing foster care and never took it down. It's handy now that they have young grandchildren and it keeps Gigi where they want her... in conjunction with another smaller one that is between the kitchen and dining room. BUT.... Gigi has watched the cats jump over it from the back of the couch often enough that she has mastered that and sails over it if she really wants to!

Phyl - Hugs on your weather - I am looking forward to our visit - but trying to think about winter clothes - is killing me.. It's not that hot here but 104 is a big diff than 60's - So am going to have to go find out where I packed my winter clothes..

Yeah, I'm going to be really disappointed if our weather doesn't warm up by the time you gals get here next week!! We'll still have fun... but I am looking forward to enjoying that beach front deck. We'll for sure be building fires in the fire pit! We'll have to gather driftwood off the beach... there's lots of it!

There is a "cell phone" parking lot at the airport. We will wait there for a phone call because the airport police are venomous! If the person you're picking up isn't out on the curb with their luggage, they make you move!

Well, I just rechecked my travel arrangements.... and I have to be at the Buf airport for a 6:50 a.m. flight.... so we`ll have to leave W.B. around 2 a.m.... what was Ì` thinking when I booked THAT flight:confused:

I am sure you can stay with my sister the night before if you want to. You can take a cab to the airport.. or one of them can give you a ride. She & my BIL both go to work pretty early and airport is close to where they live. Or... hotels across the street from airport... on Genesee St in Cheektowaga.

What is bone scan about?? I have to make mammo appt SOON. And I still haven't seen eye Dr. about blurry spot on right eye.

Food today.... one thin slice of whole wheat toast... VERY thin, with one egg over easy. 16 oz SF,FF latte, 16 oz Crystal Lite, salad w/feta cheese and couple of slices of shave turkey w/FF Catalina and a shot of Sesame Drsg. 100 Cal skinny cow, glass of wine.

Gym... 1 hr pool PT...resulting in sore back because I was showing off for lady who wouldn't do anything, and 20 minutes on bike. Did I already say all that??? I'm old... I forget stuff!! HAHAHA!! I say that TOO much lately!! LOL

This is Darcy. She does look big in this picture... but looks much smaller in the other two photos they've posted. He thinks her paws look big, so he's afraid she will get too big! I think she's adorable!

Oh that Darcy puppy is TOO cute... I like that one the best so far... also Dachunds are NOT big... I saw Karlà`s babies and they are only about 12 lbs... full grown... totally a lap size doggie...

Good job on the weight, getting under that 200 mark again WHOO_HOO for you babes:lol:

I survived boot camp and driving with Kaitlin - she just got her permit yesterday - so took her out driving after gym - just go home - got dinner in the oven and p.j.'s on..

Boot camp was a good one today - we were dripping wet - I had to modify 2 things - this squat from a push up then jumping - I just squaded and ran in place

Dinner Fish & broc and maybe some of that fake Pasta (that one I gave you Phyl - like 20 grms Fiber & half the calories of regular pasta)

Ya since 911 airport cops don't allow any waiting from the curb - Ok good - we have that worked out :biggrin: Weather is weather - we will be fine - I am going to enjoy all the green !!1

Darcy is a cutie -Angel is about 9-10 lbs should be like 5-7 and she's a perfect lap dog - Bear should be 12-15 but weighs 20 and he's too big - and hairy :0) But she will be a good size - You will find the right one -and then I bet you $$$ that Earl says it's HIS dog :0) - mark my words..

July is my mamo month - gotta call tomorrow -

Candice bone scan - just to see if you have ortho whatever it's call - bone density test right..

Ok gang it's 8:22 I'm starving and ryder is barking - will cbl

got the other gate built last night, finished about 10 pm. Looks pretty darn good, better than the first one. So we will see how it works.

Had a field trip yesterday looking a glacier morraines and sedimentary rocks. Loaned everyone my sun screen, but didn't put any on myself. Can we say 'lobster', dumb!

Talked with Steph on Monday about when we were leaving. On the phone we talked about leaving on the 30th and arriving on the 1st, however, that was when we both thought the 1st was Friday, SO now I don't know what is going on. If we leave on Wednesday, the 30th I will have to try to make a change in my hair appointment. also the Electrician was suppose to stop by to give me an estimate so I'm not sure what is going on now.

Well need to get busy, ttfn

Yes, just a regular Bone Density Scan... my Family doctor orders one for me each year... I have not problems, but all the OLD ladies in my family end up with Osteoperosis... so she is just being careful... plus the test takes like minutes and is not uncomfortable in the least.

      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.
