Good Morning Cali

Hi Janine and Cali,

Thanks for the shout out Janine.  I can't wait to get my computer fixed or buy a new one.  I feel like I am missing so much.  I am trying to catch up.  But its a little hard since I am at work. 

I definately don't want to jeopardize my job in these hard economic times.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and wish everyone well.

tomorrow I will be able to start solid food.  Wish me luck

Linda

Good luck on solid food tomorrow!

Good Morning All!  Today brings a busssy day for me guys!  I have to meet Ashley (another "adopted" daughter) at the DMV.  She is taking her behind the wheel test for a driver's license. She's 19.  When she passes, I am signing over my 1989 Honda Civic to her.  Used to be Alex's car, but he bought a new one.  I have no use for it and since she is the most deserving, she gets "Daphne".   Another "Pay it Forward" Moment.   Ashley spends a lot of time walking home from work.  A lot of times it's at 11 at night dark and raining. 

I need to buy shoes to go with my new little black dress as well as nylons and a bra and slip.  Costco run for wrapping paper and ribbon. 

I have done ZERO Christmas shopping.  I guess I should get moving, huh?

On nother note, I got a clean bill of health from my doctor.  My bowel obstruction wasn't caused by adhesions as he thought, but by something "weird" he hadn't seen before.  I had a good kink going on as well as some internal bleeding, but he fixed it and all is well.  He praised me for catching it early and knowing when not to ignore pain.  Because I caught it so quick, I didn't lose any bowel.  Yeah Me!

Congrats Maureen on the clean bill of health and the " Little Black Dress".  Enjoy both!

Yaaaaaay on the clean bill of health!  AND for you not ignoring the problem.  Early detection is the best!  Good job.

Thanks dear.  Somehow the pain woke me up from a nap with a pain pill on board.  First sign  When I couldn't stand up straight was the 2nd sign.

I can't wait to start excercising again.  I cannot go near the gym until next Friday.  Darn.  So, I'm "cheating" with my 5# weights for arms until then.   Nothing involving tummy muscles until then.

LOL.  Could you have imagined yourself saying you were cheating by using weights a year ago?!

You go girl!  Keep those muscles from atrophying!  I'm glad you're feeling well.

Hi MoMo,

Your awesome.  Hope we get to meet some day.  I am sure you will be lookin "smexy" in your new Little black dress.  Have fun and take pictures.  

I bought a red dress a couple of weeks ago for my work Christmas party.  I hope it isn't going to be too big.  I will take pictures.

Hey I just went and got "professionally" fit for a new bra.  I've always worn a 38C.  Turns out I'm a 38D.  What they can do with a bra these days -- the girls are way back up where they belong!!!!!

Good morning Cali!! I missed you guys and gals!! Thanx for the shout out Janine. I was without interent for 2 1/2 days. Ugh!! You never realize how much you use the internet until it goes down. Weight is the same as last week, so I am holding steady at 85 pounds gone. Ankle is feeling great. I am doing welll. I have to work today, so that is a good thing. I hope everyone has a great day!! =)
