I really need to check out Modern Family because I keep hearing about it, lol. I don't even now what it is about so maybe I should just dvr it.

Ayla is getting so big, it is strange but I seem ambivalent about it. I am excited and happy for her to reach each new milestone but at the same time I am sad that I have to let go of the Ayla I know at each prior stage. Babyhood passes way to quickly.

YES DVR Modern Family, it is heeeel-arious.

Michelle & Haydee have fun on your trips! The rest of us folks will hold down the fort and slave away at work.

Babyhood really does pass too quickly, I remember when he started pushing me away.. when for months he would just sleep on my chest, ahh.. then at 6m he got 'independent' like and would push me away and get mad if I tried to cuddle him. Now I cherish those times after I get him to sleep and I'm in the rocker and he lets me hold him to my chest.

Good afternoon, Violets..

Just back from flute rehearsal and got a couple of emails taken care of. We're having lunch now and then will head outside to work in the flower beds and get the plants planted. Keeping my fingers crossed for no nights at 25 degrees.. Doesn't look like it in the forecast.

Laura... it's unbelievable how quickly time flies. There are so many things I can't remember about when my kids were tiny. I remember my first biological son, Josh and I holding hands when we took naps together. Now he's 34 and hasn't held my hand in 32 years!!! sighhhhhhhh But the great part is seeing what a good parent he has become. Same with my son Joe and daughter Kris.

PamELa.. we sigh up for WW tomorrow. What is the monthly cost in your area??? We're looking at $44 a month for unlimited meetings and etools. Pricey, but as Bob says, if it works it will be worth every penny.

Heather.. loved the pics of Ayla on Facebook. Can you believe that she's almost a year old already???? And YES Modern Family is the funniest show on TV. Cam is my hero and Phil is the greatest character!! (she was in a good mood last week, but I cashed it in for something else).. WATCH it if you can!!

Haydee... have a GREAT time this weekend.

Janie... you are every tech support expert's dream! :redface::lol:

Off to finish my lunch and then head outside.

I paid $39 a month for the "monthly pass" w/ the etools. It is worth it, about 10 bucks a week for meeting and etools. I am just skimming now, wont start until Sun or Mond.

Kity, that's great about WW, you probably have a great speaker, and that helps for motivation. I have an older gal who tells too many jokes and asks too many questions, she needs to give us more motivation. One of her jokes, it's okay to pat yourself on the shoulder, even a mosquitto needs a swat. haha

Anyone watch Cougar Town? When she said "If they could make me tiny enough I would live in your blood" to her son..it made me laugh.

Good morning, Violets..

Mae.. online is where I got the price. For our area it's $44 a month. Must be cause we're in Michigan.:smile:

Anyway Kris and I are going this morning and we'll check it out.

Had an egg on toast today and it's sitting right in my throat. I hate that feeling. Yesterday was toast and Peanut Butter and by the time I got to church for my flute rehearsal I had to make a stop at the bathroom first to pb. Lovely.

Ethan is coming this morning sometime when Joe goes to work. He hasn't worked in a couple of weeks and is looking to go to Wyoming for employment. If that happens, then I lose Ethan and that would break my heart, but he has to do what is best for his family. Course that's assuming that Jen will want to leave everything here to move out there. Decisions, decisions.

Hope Michelle is enjoying her time at Disney. I KNOW Haydee is going to enjoy her weekend!!

We're working in the backyard yet again today. It's supposed to get up into the 70's so it will be great planting weather. We got a couple of new deck chairs last night and some more plants for Bob's area in the back and also for the front yard. Time to start on that section.

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

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
