No more news on my mom. We all have 'issues' with mom, she is very selfish and egocentric. I have to live with myself, so I try to get along...okay, still trying to get approval. My brother was mom's 'favorite', she made sure I knew that, if I hadn't guessed, I need not have worried, because she told me. My sister was dad's favorite, brother was mom's favorite, and I was just the accident that abortion wasn't legal to get rid of. Sorry, a little pitty party today. Getting frustrated that I'm still uncomfortable, but I did have an excellent bm, 1st since surgery. I sure will be glad when I get a fill, food is calling from everywhere.

Sorry about debbi downer, I will work on that.

Alexa stayed all weekend and is now back at her apartment and doing her school observation. Unfortunately she is a bit of a slob, so I need to do a little cleaning. dishes, vacumn, don't yell about the vacumn, I can't live with it right now. I'll go slow.

What is everyone's news? Candice? Janet? Phyl? Linda? Steph?

[IndioGirl55 32]

OMG Karla - LOL yep you know what we are going to say don't you LOL - Oh on the pity party - I guess since I don't have a Mom - I don't have to seek approval - but don't know if I would any way - I'm 56 yrs old (well almost) and yes I know we all have a inter-child that's 2 but I'm a freaking grown up and if my Mom said those things too me - I just might say - well bye call the one who you like/love better... I don't have a lot of tolerance for being mis-treated - I told my Grandma off and never saw her again.. She said my Dad abandont my Mother - he didn't - it was her fault that he left - and he always took care of us and supported us - hell he ended up w/us cuz my mom was mentally ill and killed herself - I told her she liked to wallow in self pity cuz I was taking care of my Dad and not her - - I was done - but I guess I'm mean and cold hearted - - This is all speculation on my part - I know my Mom loved me - she did show me love - but her sick side wasn't alway nice - but I just keep moving forward..

So all I am saying don't waste your time being upset about your mom - it is what it is - We love you and next time someone gives you crap - say well I wasn't wanted anyway - so you guys handle it.. But again I'm a smart ass - but I think I would say it I really do...

We love you and support you - so don't think you aren't loved...

Thanks Janet, I needed that!!! Feel free to forehead slap me any time!!

Phyl, good job on the food!!! I've been trying to eat right, but I want food, lots of food. I really thought that I'd have to deal only with head hungries figured my stomach had shrunk by now. But no such luck, so I only have to make it one more week before a fill!!! then back to where I belong!

I did tell mom I couldn't come up. I guess they can't do surgery yet because she has some infected teeth that have to be dealt with first. So they are hoping by next week the teeth will be fixed and they can insert a plate and screws.

Candice, what's up?

Janet, working out tonight?

Linda?

Steph?

Hi girls; sorry Ive been MIA, still trying to get back into my routine at home.. Doctors this a,m. for some Prednisone pills for my allergic reaction!! thenthis aft. got a whole new set of nails.. SOLAR NAILS, they are more expensive... but so pretty and damn it I am worth it... as I am now back on my food Plan and have already lost 1 lb of the 3 I gained on the cruis...So I am very happy with that.

Food today, Pro bar, chicken Jerky bites, 2 coffees, 1 tea, supper was left over Turkey dinner from last night OH YUM!! Then I made Peter some TURKEY WILD RICE soup... it was good, he had 2 bowls... I think he is glad I am back to do all the cooking!!! I`ll hve Soup tomorrow....

This evening I`ve been getting caught up with all my GF`s they`ve been calling since I got home and just got around to returning phone calls tonight. Then it was time to get the rest of my Pictures up on Facebook...

Tomorrow, going to see MOM and take her a mini photo album to look thru of my trip... she`ll like that... then Band rehearsal tomorrow night...

Karla, listen to Janet... she`s right about the MOM thing, none of us had the MOTHERS THAT WE WANTED or NEEDED... we got what we got.. and its up to us to LOVE ourselves.. not regret what we didn`t get from them... does that make any sense??

ANd Ditto what Janet said, you are OUR family here.. and we all love and respect you.. you are such a talented and smart lady (ah, except for the vaccumming!!) So don`t forget that o.k.?

Alrightm, I was all watered up waiting for Stephanies update... did I miss that...?

Phyl, enjoy being able to Bracelt outside... if you were home in Seattle, you`d be in the rain :- ( Have fun on Saturday, and give us all the details later... we`ll live thru you vicarously..

Waiting for Rome picture to upload... man I took too many damn pictures....

[IndioGirl55 32]

Well Back from the gym - had a good work out - came home fed the dogs & cat - then cleaned the stove - the burners are nasty - then went and washed face

Love you all so much... Really wish you (Karla) were able to come in March..

Good Lord, I've been busy. And tired. It's nuts how busy I've been since I went sledding.

Tomorrow I'm not going to teach and Jaimi is going to daycare because she has nursery school. So, it's going to be a quiet day here and I hope tomorrow morning I'm going to be able to add a long post.

For now, the snow run was amazing. Brought Jeff on board for the cause. He says he would rather I concentrate on raising money for Pink Ribbon Riders and ditch Komen. There are thousands raising money for Komen. PRR has very few. I like his attitude.

So, food there wasn't the best for Jeff. He ate too much and then drank a few too many drinks. I am pretty sure that he did not regain anything. Just Water retention. He was so down on himself when he weighed. I felt really bad. I hope that I have convinced him that he's doing alright. I need to stay a little more on top of his water intake. I know he doesn't drink enough to rid him of all the toxins. Hopefully that will help.

For me, I could have lost more, but I know that I had way too many Colorado Bulldogs. Diet soda but the alcohol and cream wasn't helpful. I'm on track though. I have lost 5 total and Jeff 10. When I put it that way he looked a little more positive.

Tonight we went out for dinner. I ate Candice's favorite walleye and Jeff had crab legs. It was a great birthday dinner.

So....more tomorrow. I'm so very tired. Have a great night.

[phyllser 3]

Good Morning! Looks like another lovely day here in the desert. We are going to the Marine base today to pick up Rx refills and shop at the commissary. So.... skipping Water aerobics. Earl went up to swim laps, but if I go to water aerobics we won't be out of here until about 11 a.m. It takes over an hour to get there (unless Janet is driving!! LOL!! Just kidding GF!!) So... if we leave that late we'll be coming home in the dark. I like to spend at least an hour in the BX before we do the grocery shopping. Must NOT buy more clothes even if I find a GREAT bargain! Ooops.... He's back... a$$hole is doing the pool prep this morning and won't let him in! He's mad. He says we're going NOW so I better sign off.

[cramerk 1]

Ah the thrill of DH's. But you love him, so we can't kill him. However, we could volunteer to hold him while you wax all the hair off his body, as long as you let each of us rip off a sheet! Ah just kidding, he is set in his ways and you are too. But you have made it this long, you might as well keep him.

Feeling better this morning, although Miss Molly felt the need to get up and go potty every THREE hours!!! What do I have a doggy door for? When she wakes up, she crawls out of the covers and licks me until I get up and sit outside while she goes. Crimanee, it snowed 4 inches last night and I am sitting outside with these big fluffy flakes. Pretty, yes, cold, you betchya.

Stepped on the scale this morning, I was WAY worried that I have gained since I am unfilled, but I am holding, praise the Lord. I think since I am able to drink plenty of Water it is helping. Also I have been eating disgusting oatmeal, I hate it, but it does stick with you. So I throw a few Craisins and slivered almonds with SF maple Syrup on it and pretend that it is something delish.

I have been watching Grey's Anatomy from the beginning of the series, how come none of you told me how good it was. Now I will need to find when it is one the real channels.

Steph congrats on the loss, you are on your way!

Janet, how are things going with the accountant?

Candice...whats up?

[IndioGirl55 32]

Good Morning

Mouse worked this morning but not keyboard - I think after gym I am going to costco or Best Buy and get a new computer...

Steph Glad you had a good Bday !!! WTG on staying on track !!! Proud of you & Jeff.. Have you watched the show Heavy - it's on A&E or TLC - it' really good. Also on Dr, Oz yesterday they had this thing about being a food addict..

Phyl - LOL yep driving w/ me it would only take 45 min to get to 29 Palms LOL ... Well hope Earl gets in a better mood

Karla - I love Greys - On Thursday nite at 8 or is it 9 my time - I dvr it most days - but it's a great show and so is private practice (spin off of Greys)

I'm not doing accounting for a few days - letting my smiple mind rest ;0)

Told you - that you were doing ok ..... Ya gotta learn to trust me - LOL

I saw a new thread that said counting caloires works - I wanted to be a smart ass and say Yep it does - I have been preaching that for almost 4 yrs - and since I got to goal and have maintained it - I think I know what I am talking about - counting calories (eating healthy) and exercise - that' the only thing that's going to get you to goal - the band is going to help - but not going to do the work for you - and God forbid we ever lose it - I sure and the hell think that I might put on a few - but that I wouldn't be 250 a gain - (from my lips to God's ears) well does God have ears LOL -

Gotta get back to work

Anxious to hear if you found a new computer. I looked at laptops at the base today. I need a new one! This one has too many things that don't work and the hard drive is not big enough to hold my pictures!

And maybe they sell Wally Lamb books on QVC??!! LOL

Long day today... Marine base for Rx refills, bx shopping, commissary... grocery shopping.

Earl was a jerk. Everything was fine until he panicked coming out of the commissary because he left his wallet in there! Like on our way out the door! So.... of course, it was right where he left it. But he came out in a very bad mood and jumped all over me when I asked him where it was, how did it happen. I wasn't being offensive at all, just asked a couple of innocent questions and he got nasty. It went downhill from there. Don't know what gets in to him some times. He did apologize after a while, but not before trying to justify his meanness by saying he was upset because he thought his wallet was stolen... so upset he was SHAKING!! HUH???? Don't know why he thought that was an excuse to be a jerk anyways, since it was back in his hand at the time he started being a jerk. He even threw the dog in to the back seat! That really ticked me off. Beginning to wonder if he needs to go get a good physical. Flies off the handle for no reason way too easy. Don't get it. Very defensive all the time.

Hey... mentioned to Janet it might be fun to go see "Menopause the Musical" when you and Linda are here. What do you think?? I saw it when they were here (in Palm Springs) last year and it was hilarious! Would love to see it again.
