Surgeon Testimonial

David Suh, M.D.
Dr.Suh gave a very good seminar. He was very nice, but didn;t get to spend much time with him. His office staff was really nice, but his helper that weighed us in etc. is a little abrupt and rushed. Long office waits.

Summers' over
on August 22, 2009 6:08 am
My 9 year old started 4th grade. She has a man teacher for the first time. I think it's the perfect time before jr. high. Before now she would have been to shy, but she really likes him. She is still of the age where she loves school. My oldest is just about to close on her first house, so that's exciting.
    I have stabilized at 165 which is a size 8 for me, so I am happy there. I still find myself pigging out on junk on the week-end though. i always gain a couple of lbs and lose it back during the week. I find myself out of control  and have a much to easy time eating junk instead of protein. I can;t stand the thought of creeping back up. Life is soo much easier and funner without dragging around an extra 140 lbs

I'm back

Had my sister's 3 kids for the week-end so she can go to Vegas, Her 11 year old twins wouldn;t come without them friend , so I also have him and her 5 year old, and then I rotate 1 of my grandkids all week-end. Took one for friday night, took one to the beach yesterday and I;m picking up the other one for chuck-e-cheese in a little bit. . Then I get rid of all of them , so I can go to work tonight. Hope everybody has been doing well. Take care

It's been awhile
on July 12, 2009 8:08 am

Didn;t realize it has been over 2 months since I have checked in here.. End of the school year is always a busy time for us. My youngest finished 3rd grade June 13th and has been gone to my families in 29 Palms most of the summer.. It has been nice to have just my husband and I  for awhile.. Celebrated my 47th b-day on July 3rd. Went to see my sister's keeper , which was so sad , but soo good. The children actors were great.. Went out to Pechanga for the Pow Wow and buffet for my b-day dinner. Don;t really like paying 25 dollars for my couple of bites of Salmon, but everybody else loves it and we hadn;t been there for awhile. Have kids calling , will be back later

Monday check -in
on May 4, 2009 2:44 pm
Haven''t  been checking in as much as I would like. Been so busy the days/ weeks go by soo fast. . Friday , my youngest and I went to have dinner with my brother. He is in a adult boarding place. he is paranoid shyzyo.. Don;t know how to spell that ?? So, I took him to hometown. It is always pretty boring, don;t know what to talk to him about, but he is soo grateful to get out.  Saturday was fun. My youngest and I took a beading class at Michaels' crafts'. Made a necklace that I love, but she was a lot faster than I . I think those little fingers make it easier. She made 2 mecklaces, 2 sets of earrings and 2 bracelets, so now we are both really in to this and it's fun to do together. Yesterday, I took my oldest grandson, Keanu and Kaleah, my youngest daughter to Castle Park , it's an amusement park in Riverside. My had fun going miniture golfing and they go on the rides, I'm chicken. Hope everybody has a good week. Take care

Happy Easter
on April 10, 2009 4:53 pm
Ididn't realize how long it has been since I have been on. Had a good week-end last week. Took the grandsons and my daughter to an Easter hunt at the park. Sunday , my daughter, husband and I went down to the Orange county swap meet . A lot of walking, but fun. Stopped by the beach after, for an hour. It was nice and sunny outside, but boy was that water cold !!.  The wind seems to be kicking up for this week-end , but hopefully everything will be nice on Sunday. Everybody have a great Easter
