Happy Thursday Everyone
Morning Janine... Morning Cali Crew!

Great WWW yesterday! We have a posted weight loss of - 64.7 pounds!!! WooooWhoooo.... rock on Cali Loser's!
Thanks for asking after my health Janine. I am feeling much better, the Pepto has been helping a lot. I still was achy and had issues with my guts yesterday but everything I ate did stay down though was/am queazy even this morning. Guess it must be some bug or another. My boss called off sick yesterday with the same thing and several co-workers have kids with the same symptoms.
Glad to know it's a Thursday already and am looking forward to the weekend. Hoping I am all back to feeling good by then as I want to finish my autumn garden work so I can get back to just puttering in the garden.

On another note I am getting a good response to the TOMS FARMS get together on November 15th. I think this will be a great event. If you are a newbie and/or mostly a lurker I say come on out to TOMS and meet your OH family. Couldn't be a more casual and relaxed way to get face time with those people you only know from the board(s). You'll never regret meeting OHer's in person and having a wonderful opportunity to hear everyone's stories and spend time with others who actually "get it"! Here's the link to my post where you can send me your e-mail addy to get on the guest list:

Janine,
Even though you are a public employee and teacher salaries are public record, your personel file shouldn't be. Based on my limited knowledge they should have the right to publish the school districts certificated salary schedule but names and educational levels should remain confidential. I would contact my union rep and unions attorney about the disclosure of personal information . The release of names along with salary is just an invitation for ID theft or scams or worse evil bitter exs that will now rethink spousal support. That reminds me, for someone in the family law system to get that info - they need a supeona so that makes me believe that names attached to salary is not public.
Just my two cents ..... Please follow up on this as I don't want my Husbands info published.

Good Morning Janine & Everyone,
Ya I gave my notice yesterday. I thought making him know it had nothing to do with the facility, staff or clients would make it a little better, but he acted like a 2 year old. He got all whinny. Pulled me out of the Pro Act class and put me on the floor. Then later came up and tried to convince me I didnt want to go work for the County. So I became bruttaly honest, the pay is better, the benefits are better and I will know my schedule more than a week ahead of time!!! Then he tried to convince me the ride was too long. I swear he was a whinny little boy. I told him I could work on call do some time on my days off from there and he just brushed me off, said no and left, lol. Didnt go exactly as planned, but hey too bad!!! So he is punishing me by putting me in the building he knows I dont like, oh well 2 more weeks!!
Better get ready for my 1000-630, nice hours huh, lol.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!! Be good to yourselves and those around you!!!

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

Good Morning Everyone!!
Janine I cant wait until I dump all of this weight, now if someone could just tell my body to let go of it, I think I will be on a great track to this accomplishment! lol
So I woke up feeling great today, which is odd. So I am going to totally take advantage of it, and take the baby on an adventure walk. Seeing a 2 year old exploring things that we take for granted is something amazing to watch!
I cant wait until Saturday, free fishing! We made the mistake this year by not buying a year license, so I have been looking forward to this all month. It is just so relaxing yet accelerating to fish, of course we catch and release. You will never find me trying to clean a fish! YUCK!
Well I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

I love my RNY! Find me on myspace myspace.com/bebe_girl209 but be sure to tell me your from OH!
Janine,
Thank you for the shout out. Keep us posted on the mural. Yeah, I will keep running. Tonight I am going to the gym. Sometime between tonight and tomorrow, I need to go to JoAnn's to buy one skein of yarn to complete an afghan that I am crocheting for a X-Mas gift.
More Love,
Kim

Morning Dear,
I just love reading this post every morning, I always look forward to hearing from you...you make my morning!
I am doing so much better. Monday and yesterday were both busy days for me...did lots of running around, and was so exhausted as a result. But, I tell you, it's so good to be out amongst the rest of the world!
My nurse comes today, and I may have her take a few pics before she puts all the bandages on, so I'll be partially bandaged. The transformation is already happening, and I'm so excited! It is just so nice to get rid of the saggy arms, and the whole tummy thing. I was so self conscious about it.
Ok, I have to get washed up for the day, and then start packing.....moving in a month, and want to have a couple yard sales before then......many years of "stuff" to either sell, put in storage, or take to the new place with me. But, my sister and I are living together, and she has 6 years on me, so she has even more "stuff!"
Ok, my nurse just called.........it's a guy!!! I'm really nervous!

Morning!
I am around...just lurking. Don't have much to contribute, I guess.
Back is still crappy and I don't know what is going to happen next. It has pretty much bummed me out, I guess that can be a reason why I haven't posted much? Anyway, thank you for asking!
Your mural is looking great. Looking forward to seeing the final piece.
Have a great day!
