Seriously?! I'm the first to post since the first? Well, I'm all packed up just waiting for Candice to shower and get beautiful so we can go to Breakfast and then I'll be off to the airport. Plane leaves at noon. Candice has a late check out so she can come back and hang out here till 6. Then she'll onlyhave 5 more hours to kill.

Had a great time shopping at a huge mall (believe it or not, I even found palm trees planted outside the mall--did you know that, Phyl--there ARE REAL PALM TREES in Seattle?--go look) We watched It's Complicated, fire trucks responding to a big fire a few doors down, and the airplanes landing at the airport, All in all a great ending to awonderful weekend!

OK--she's dressed. Gotta roll!

Love you all so much!!!!

Linda

Hi girls

had breaky and just put Linda on the shuttle bus to the airport.... :'( :-( :-(

so sad saying goodbyes!!! Oh gosh, I'm in my new mascara too!

Shopping was fun yesterday, bought some shoes, purse, foundation garments.... YEAH NORDSTROM's!!! Gosh I love love love that store..

Almost bought some shoes for the Aug wedding, but they were $180!!! with rhinestones and bling... gorgeous .... but I bought a pair at Payless instead LOL

We had this awesome dinner too.... but I won't tell you what we ate... it was SINFUL!!

Once home, things MUST get back to normal...

Gosh, my eyes have NO MORE TEARS in then...

It was so great to spend time with all you ladies, you truly do Bless my Life...

I am So thankful for you all.....

Soon, we'll all be back in our own little beds and back to our chatting online...

There is getting to be a lineup at the cyber cafe here in the hotel so I'd better go.

Loved the pics on Facebook, Thanks Phyl for hosting a FAB weekend gettaway.

I'm here, don't know when Steph will be back on, she has a weekend activity planned so she won't be going home.

Drove home threw some gorgeous county, I'm sure Steph will post the pictures. I got home at about 10:45 pm, so Steph and Rose probably didn't get home until after midnight.

Plan on checking out my plants and stuff and hopefully getting started on building the deck. I really only have a month left, oh well.

I had such a fabulous time, I wish I was closer to you all. Miss you all like crazy.

Have a good day.

What a GREAT weekend. So good to see all of you and missing you like crazy now! Still working on getting photos on FB! And enjoying the nice weather!! LOL!! Summer got here right after you left and it's supposed to be 89 today, 93 tomorrow!

We're going to take Zoey to be spayed tomorrow... mobile van in the area... have to be there at 6 a.m. because first come, first served and they only take so many per day. Will have her microchipped, too. Right now she's scratching on the door because "daddy" took the garbage to the dumpster without her!! Candice.... I have to work on some more tricks, because she definitely has the "sit" and "down"!! Riding in the basket... if she stands up, I just tell her to "sit" and for the most part, unless there are too many distractions, she does it. Bad part is... yesterday when Earl brought out the wine and little stainless steel condiment cups... she knew there was cheese in them. So she was at my feet doing her little bark and when that didn't work, she sat! I still ignored her, so she did the "down" with her head cocked looking at me sweetly! So I think she got about 1/3 of my cheese!! Who can resist that face and she is so proud to do her tricks!

Skipping Primetimers again... too nice to go sit inside for 3 hours!! Gotta go... Earl wants to do the "lake loop" walk and then go to Costco! I thought we were just there yesterday! Oh... that was just to fill up the Chevy... We went for a long ride in hte 53 Chevy yesterday with Zoey. In fact, we went to Anthony's Home Port for Happy Hour! No more oysters! They ran out. So I had shot glass shrimip cocktails!

Yep - get together are great - but then we have to go home.. and that's the sad part...

Glad I don't have Anthony's - that seafood Pasta was to die for - well I guess I have similar places - good thing I don't eat out often :0)..

Weather here is cool for us - but suppose to warm up this weekend - I was out just a bit ago - 85ish I am guessing - with a little breeze..

Well, we just about always go to Anthony's at Happy Hour time. Usually have a glass of wine, appetizer (oysters if they have them) and enjoy the sun. Tracy wants to go tomorrow, so we might go again. Zoey was so good there last night. They don't allow dogs, so we just sat at the very last table and put her around the corner on the handicap ramp. As soon as she got it that she couldn't come over and sit with us, she went into her little red carrier and went to sleep.< /span>

Of course, if Zoey has her surgery tomorrow... that could change our Happy Hour plans! Or maybe she'll just sleep in her carrier again.

We have 84 degrees and it's not yet noon! Such a nice day. We took the trip down to the lake... Zoey and I ended up cruising around the neighborhood for 2 hrs because we made stops after we split with Earl... Safeway, sports store, Surf Shack and Target where I got her some more treats.

Oh, Theresa gave me your SF White Choc powder, but she has to go home and look at her bill to tell me how much. It's as big as a coffee can... 2 1/2 lbs.

Hope Karri is having a great time in Vegas. And Candice is home by now. Karri's Beans are so good! I had a little for both lunch and dinner the past two days! Guess I'll have to start making my own.

Zoey should just be sleepy after surgery - both bear & angel were fine - I think they gave me some pain meds..

Cute pic's !!! She looks so big in the 1st one ;0)

2.5 lbs - omg I'll have white choc for months ;0) !!!! Just had lunch - salad and fish - could take a nap - will have some ice tea in a bit.. Have Gym tonite.. Ugh - I'm tired..

It took forever this a.m for pic's to load on fb - your pic's came out better - I have some dark ones.. Will try again tonite..

Gotta teach Kaitlin how to cook - to night she's going to learn how to make Enchilllada's -

Talked to Melissa last night - told me on Friday they called to ck on the kids - Andrew was cooking dinner (he knows how to fend for his self) he was making fish & Pasta (we know who's kid he is ;0) and Melissa said Kaitlin doesn't eat fish - he said well I took out pork chops for her - well she doesn't eat that either - he said oh well she'll figure something out..

The girl needs to learn some skills... like cooking and cleaning... well 4 more days w/me - I guess I am going to have to turn into a home-ect (sp) teacher - she did cook her steak last night while I was putting food up and making my dinner..

well it's 1 gotta get back to work...

Dosn't that just frost you???? Its hot as hades here too.... 95F.. for you guys... Peter even TURNED ON THE A/C!!! Holy cats, that NEVER happened all last summer!!! He had washed/waxed/detailed my Matrix for me when I got home... Hugged me about 4 times in the airport!!! Yeah, this absence was good for him too ...LOL

We're going to take Zoey to be spayed tomorrow... mobile van in the area... have to be there at 6 a.m. because first come, first served and they only take so many per day.

So I think she got about 1/3 of my cheese!! Who can resist that face and she is so proud to do her tricks!

She is a very clever little dog!!! You will have to do ROLL OVER, don't teach her to 'speak' though... bad behavior!!! Next you can teach to her to COME outside on a extra long leash, give her the command and then gently tug on the lead until she gets the idea... and then treats of course!!

I'l bet she learns that in ONE evening.

Bridget learned something new while I was away too. Peter stands infront of her and taps his shoulders with his hands and she LEAPS into his arms.. (gotta be ready to catch her though!) so cute... She got to sleep int he bed and TWIG was confined to the laundry room... he had a couple accidents again. He's going for blood work tomorrow and filing his heart med. Rx...

Skipping Primetimers again... too nice to go sit inside for 3 hours!! Gotta go... Earl wants to do the "lake loop" walk and then go to Costco! I thought we were just there yesterday!

Yup, that's probably what she'll do ... just sleep... but she may be a bit more SUCKY than normal and want held... by the next morning she'll be running around like usual. Its amazing how they get over such things so quick.

      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.
