Good Tuesday Morning Cali

Good Morning Janine & Everyone,
Yep they approved the full tummy surgery. I am so very happy, they rarely approve the extended pannilectomy (going above the belly button). The doctor said it was obvious I was one of those who needed it. Gee thanks, but yaaaaaa!!!!!
As for the job hunt, well, sending out resumes like crazy and nothing. Half the time I wonder if my phone is working, but mom calls so I know it is  Now just call about a stinking job. The only thing on the horizon is an interview with the County next Tuesday. I just dont get it!!!! Oh well all I can do is keep sending out the resumes and hoping!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Be good to yourselves and those around you!!!
OH YA I can start exercising again today as long as it doesnt involve the boobies or surrounding muscles!!

Good morning everyone!

I am hoping to get my approval letter faxed to me from insurance today so that I can fax it over to the doctor to get my date!! yaaay!

I hope everyone has a beautiful day!!

Morning all!  The news of the day...........I'M APPROVED FOR SURGERY!  How cool is that.  Answering your question Janine........Hubby didn't get anything but I sure did.  Got my first deer using my bow.  I know a lot of people out there don't approve of hunting, but we eat everything we kill.  Venison is some of the leanest meat and is tasty.  Joe put some on my George Foreman last night and yummmmmmy.

Gonna see if we can get Jayden home tonight.  They closed the road again at 3pm.  Tonight we perservere.  MoMo started his Kindergarten schedule prep with bath, teeth, lunch made (he made mine) backpack by the door, clothes laid out and in bed by 8:30 with the lights off.  Cereal on the table this morning with a glass of milk in the fridge.

Off and running girls and boys!  Lots to get done

Janine you are truely amazing!  You make everyone feel so welcome here on these boards.  I so look forward to reading them each morning.   Well last night I went to a support group.  It was for another dr.  I went the first time and thought it was not really that good, but I felt I needed to give it one more try.  Well last night was really good.  I got to meet a person from these boards and that was wonderful!  I met a few others that live really close to me and we have comitted ot walking more, that is a good thing.  I found one thing interesting. This woman got up to speak and said to me "I know your doctor and I know he lets you have soda and I know you are going to gain all of your weight back".  She then goes on about her freind that was a size 8 and now she has watched her go from that to a 10 to a 12 and those are tight.  I never said a word about ever drinking a soda, and honestly have not even thought of a soda for the past 3-4 months!  Then after the meeting she came up and told me this again.  I nicely told her, that if I decide to drink a soda I will with knowing about the reasearch and I will make that decision when the time comes.  She then said you know you can never have a drink of anything with bubbly anything.  She went on and on, and I said you know what I am going to have a mamosa when I go on my next cruise as it is a little special tradition I do,  she said no you are not you are never going to have a bubbly drink as long as you live or you are going to gain all your weight back.  I finally just gave up and smiled and walked away.  I guess I am shocked that someone would be that rude to anyone.  It will always be my choice and my choice alone if I want to do any of these things.  Today I don't so what.  Now in a year or two if I should decide to try one of these items it will be my choice alone, not some woman in a support group.  O.k. enough ragging on her, she must have had a bad day or something, so I will just pray for her and forgive her and move on.  Thanks for listening.  Rhonda

Good Morning Cali Crew:

Overcast a little here this morning. Feels good though. Not too much going on here. I'm thinking about taking up tap dance. My go****'s been 37 years. But I need a form of exercise and I hate the same ole crap. I'll be back on my horse soon, although the horse gashed his coronet band so now gonna be a couple weeks for him to heal. Other than that a lazy day.

Oh starting the beginnings of planning my daughters party for graduating Dental Assisting school while being a single Mom of a 14 1/2 yr old and a 2 yr old. She got straight A's doing it. I've already special ordered cool shot glasses for favors, gotta get a large canopy and rent a bar, deck it all out in my son's backyard in Vacaville.  Lots' of work to do for that before Sept. 27th.   and make sure I got my Crystal Light and Malibu Coconut Rum. I'll be able to have 1 or 2 of them...

Have a great day.

Terry

Hi Janine and Cali Crew,

Janine- again, thank you for the shout out.  There were very few spectators at the event.

Cali- got up and ran this morning.  Tripped on an uneven portion of the sidewalk and fell.   Fortuneately, I did not hurt myself.  Tripped, fell and immediately got back up again.  My hands broke my fall.  The great thing is that I am maintaining my 15 min mile pace.  Which mean that I will be good for the LB Half Marathon in October.
A good man is hard to find.
Tonight I have an orientation at 24 Hour Fitness.

Peace be with you, everyone.

Good Morning Gang.....

Today is my day off and I boy did I need it. It was a long 3 days. Glad its over.

Nothing fun to tell ya about, just going to get my hair done, since I had to cancel it last week. And that is it.

Fresser is doing great. I had to have one of her toe nails cut off, as she broke it down really low and she was hurting just a bit. The vet thinks that it will grow back, but she is not sure. I think she got it stuck in the screen door, but not sure as she didn't really complain about the pain unless you touched it. She was still walking the 2 to 3 miles with me all the time. She is doing fine now and still loves me, so she forgiving me.

OK time to make coffee and acted like I, amoung the living. I wish you all a great day.

Morning!!

Couple of hours from now and I take my boy to his first day of Kindergarten.  wahhhh....  He is having fun right now though.  I am watching a friend's son in the mornings before he goes to kindergarten as well, so the two of them are having a blast playing.  Two boys...FULL of energy....

Well, off to grab something to eat.  Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Janine and Cali Crew!,

Today I continue on my hunt for a few work skirts. I'm having the darnest time... I did find a denim pencil skirt at Marshalls in size 4!!! And it was only $10!!!

I'm back to work on Monday. Heard there were a few people laid-off last week. Also, rumor is more to be laid-off this week. It's a company wide thing... down scaling... due to the economy... blah, blah, blah. I'll see if I have a job to go back to... I may walk in and get handed my papers for all I know. Things could be worse, I could actually like my job and company. If I am laid-off at least this would get me back to a bigger market which I was planning on doing anyway once the weight was off and plastics were completed... I guess it's timing out.

I'm going to attempt the treadmill/elliptical today at the gym for a little while. My friends have been calling me asking when I'm going to return. They're such a positive group! My right leg seems to swell the most so I need to take it easy.

Take care all!
Kim

ps. Janine, I am up for coffee with the clan!
