Good Monday morning . . .

Hey Terry you owe to yourself to at least go and get a consultation with Katzen. It does not cost anything. He often does mini seminars around the area and you should keep that in mind when you see it on the banner. His informal seminars are informative and he is super down to earth.

I know everyone loves the ps doc for sure....I just know that he has done an amazing job on me for what he had to work with. I had a lot of skin initially and yesterday he just had a huge ass grin on his face because he still cannot grab my stomach. I have had to go through multiple surgeries for that tummy which is okay. I cannot complain...just scared. I told him yesterday that he had better do the bestest (I know bad grammar LOL) boob job this time (and last times were not his fault....I just have boob problems) and then the dreaded hernia and ab muscle repair...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks!!! NO more operations for sure!!!

Check him out....and check others out too!!!

Morning Chris and Cali gang ^_^

I had a fabulous weekend...very busy but Fabulous!  Saturday was our carving show, which I left in the morning and went to No Calif first monthly meetup...what a blast!!  I almost let the weather stop me from going...but I committed to Barb and no way am I letting her down!  Man, did it pay off...what a great bunch of peeps we have up here ^_^  So much fun...and we were so loud LOL  Pity the poor patrons who had no idea a bunch of gabbing women (and men!) would take over Chevy's for lunch

Made it back to Sac in time to finish setting up our exhibit table and enjoy the catered dinner after the show closed.  Of course, I couldn't eat much but I so enjoy our members...and since most of them hadn't seen me since before surgery (they don't all come to the monthly meetings)....I got a whole bunch of pretty nice compliments!  This will sound silly I know, but I wasn't sure anybody would really notice the wt loss (duh! Nancy, you have only lost 55lbs...no body's gonna notice that! LOL)  It was nice to be validated....I look in the mirror and still see the 'fat' gal...will she ever go away???!

Sunday I had alter guild duties at church so didn't make it to the show until almost noon.  But it was the BESTEST day ever!  I SOLD MY FIRST CARVING!!  And I wasn't even marking anything for sale ^_^  Who needs Blue Ribbons when a fellow 'Expert' carver wants to buy one of yours??!!  Just blew me away!  I'm still in shock...and he offered me 2X what I was thinking in my head as a price LOL  Guess maybe I should stay off the computer and get to carving more ROTFL  So all in all my weekend was fantastic...but exhausting.  Glad to be back at work today....normal routine...steady work load but pretty laid back now that my annual dues have all been billed for the new year.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!  Janine, I just know your surgery will go off without a hitch!; Chris, glad to hear you have an 'easy' day ahead; Jenn, keeping you and Joey in my prayers!; Joy, missed you Saturday...hopefully next month!  Hugs to everyone else that I forgot...you are all Special Peeps! ^_^

Do. Or not Do. There is no Try....Yoda, Star Wars

Janel, so nice to see you post! You have been miss girl!!!

Nancy, What kind of carving do you do? The pictureof you and DH in Jamestown is 2 miles from my house...and Mom used to volenteer there at the railroad. Small world for sure.

Janine, Take a deep breath and try to relax...I know what you mean about another surgery. Everytime I think of anyone that I am sure to face in the future puts me on edge...there have been just sooo many!! ((((HUG)))) You will be ok and if you need anything just whistle and I will come a runnin'...

Jenn, hope everything goes all right with Joey's appointment today. Let us know what the Dr says please.

Rhonda, Get some rest!! And tell DH to get a C-PAP for that snoring!

Chris, have fun at Mickey's!! I have never been there and wish I could have made it this month but there are just too many other place's that need my $$.

To all the rest of you beautiful OH'ers have a great week!!!

HUGS
JOY

Howdy all!  Back from yet another marvelous weekend trip.  Board meeting in Little River.  It went well except..........

We invited Joe's friend Tony and girlfriend along so Joe would have someone to dive with.  Don't want him diving alone.  They were told they had to pay the additional on teh room and they were on their own for dinner.  Someone in our group had them take chairs with the group for dinner and they pigged out.  I told them and the President that they had to pay for their dinner.  Agreed, but never did.  So, I got publically slapped because of it and have to submit a check for their dinner.  Sh*t I did everything in my power to make it happen right, but they're just not the type that gets it.  I don't play the .......... take all you can get without paying for it kinda game.  Never have been, never will be.    Kinda made the day blow.

So, to pick myself up, I went and bought a new pair of jeans.  Size 8!  Made me better. 

Off to finish the laundry................

Counting the days till DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!  Things are working out great.  Turns out I have training in Sacramento on the 28th so they'll pay my mileage to and from Sacramento!  And, I'll be there the night before my plane takes off. 

Greetings Chris and Cali friends,

Well, another Monday almost done.  Ahhh, only 4 more days.  LOL

Had a wonderful weekend, with our lunch and then spent yesterday doing graduation invitations and laundry.

Janine, hang in there, thoughts and prayers coming your way for a speedy recovery.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Hugs,
Barb
