The last one is done with school!!!!

Dec 09, 2009

Today my youngest daughter called me from North Carolina.  She was so excited because she had just finished her last exam for the semester.  She graduates from college this weekend. She is the last of my three children to finsh college this year.  One from law school and now two with bachelor's degrees.  I asked her if she wanted me to bring anything down for her.  She would ask for my homemade cookies.  I couldn't say no. So I baked her cookies.  My kitchen smelled like oatmeal, chocolate chips and  snicker doodles.  The devil finally won and I ate one cookie.  Just one, no more.  I can't believe I only ate one.  All I could think about was the cost of this surgery and making it work. I only ate one cookie and it was damn good.
   This weekend will be very intresting.  Most of my family will be meeting in Greensboro at my sister's house for my daughter's graduation.  We are expecting about 40 people.  I'm doing the desserts (turtle cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, sweet potato pies, carmel cake and coconut cake) and the ham.  I chose not to tell my family about wls.  This will be the first time I see them since this journey started.  I have decided to pack a small cooler with some of my usual good choices.  That way I can sneak outside and get what I want and now pig out on the fried, fatty, sweet foods that will be in front of me all weekend.
