DS and I have been working on sprucing up the patio this spring... so today I bought a fire pit and chair cushions... we got a new big umbrella a few weeks ago... planted flowers in the barrels... and tonight we actually hung out on the patio! Amazing! The kids played board games out there while I made dinner, then we bbq'd and ate out there, then we had a fire in the fire pit and toasted marshmallows & enjoyed s'mores! It was so relaxing, sitting out under the stars by the fire... mesmerizing!

Maybe there's hope for my yard yet! Baby steps...

Hey girls!

Long day. LOVED Sex and the City!!! If you are a fan, you will; if not, then you will prolly like it!

Laura, THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!! Can't believe I paid 50bucks for that freakin' virus. Please ask him to add the regular free adware protection thingy...you guys are a life saver!

Judy, think you were hungover from the pills. Glad you are feeling better now! Take it easy this weekend!

Janie, what a great idea for the Bobster! You are always so sweet.

Michelle, your patio sounds FABU!!! We need pix! We want a fire pit, but will wait until Fall. Perhaps you all will be here

Well, remember the "I'm broke" story...IT IS TRUE! I was docked $907 to got to Texas...WWWAAAAHHHHHHH! (incert BIG F BOMBS here). Oh well...I will save all summer!

Big day tomorrow...BA's and Nikki's hubbys are coming over to do some home projects (hanging the bikes on the ceiling in the garage). Then friends over for bbq and chillaxing by the pool in the evening. It is supposed to be mid 90's tomorrow!

Good morning, Violets..

Feeling much better this morning. Nathan said it was probably the pain pills that did the number on me.

I'm broke too, PamELa.... the Canada trip cost us about $700 and we got nothing out of it. At least you got to spend time with the Violets and witness a beautiful wedding.

I gotta tell you though, spending time at home with the Bobster has been very enjoyable. Today I have the WW meeting.. I decided I'm not going to weigh in. I'll weigh in on Wednesdays and go to the meetings on Saturday.

Then I head to the college to practice Hallelujah with the guitar and flute player. After Bob gets back from the funeral, we'll head to Kris's to plant the veggie garden.

Supposed to be 82 today. Perfect pool weather.

Michelle, your patio sounds wonderful. We have a fire pit in the back yard, but don't use it much.

Off to find some Breakfast and get ready to meet Kris at the WW meeting.

Everyone have a great day!

Wooo Hooooo....our friend was able to sell two of our tickets for Canada. At least we can recoup some of the loss.

BEAUTIFUL day here today. I've been going through old pictures and sorting them out. Now I'm headed to the side yard to get that cleaned out and ready to be spruced up. I forgot I'd need more mulch for that area. It's beyond our fence and I don't remember it's even there. arghhhhhhhh

MORE mulch? It truly doesn't seem possible!

Why were you docked, Pam? Wasn't it vacay time?

Here's a fire pit pic... will try to get one of the whole patio later today...

Off to take dd to a slumber party & then go to ds's 2nd soccer game of the day! Ta Ta!

love the fire pit Michelle!!

Feeling better?

Pamela, if it makes you feel better, not only do I not get paid when I don't work, I have to pay to not work cause I rent!! We all count on our money so every bit counts!! It sounds like you were counting on that money!! I know that when I take off, no money, that is one of the bad things of being self employed.

Blindside was really good, but I am sure everyone else has already seen it.........

Good morning, Violets..

Well, the Bobster is the big 6-5 today. He had a 3 Musketeer bar for breakfast.. lol Actually he is saving those and having them as a nightly snack, Jane.

We are headed out to get some hamburger and Buns for tomorrow. I have the potatoes and eggs done for the potato salad. Then off to get two more bushes. He is going to mow the backyard, but it's too wet now and since I didn't get to the side yard yesterday, that's my goal today.

Pool time this afternoon. It's supposed to get to 88 today so floating around in the pool sounds just perfect.

We got Kris's veggies planted yesterday. Grady was happy to see his other Gramma... me! I'll go back this Thursday to plant some more sugar peas. That way they don't all mature at once and she has a s**t load of peas. (I usually don't say that on Sundays!).:cursing:

Off to get dressed and head out. Everyone make it a great day!!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
