So here I am.  I was thinking oh my, I slept for 6 hours straight, dang, I will get out the computer and post the morning post.  I get here, and I look at the right hand corner of my computer, holy crap, I have been asleep only 3 hours!!!  Well, so it's only 1 hour into Thursday.   What the heck.

Barb, horray for you.  I really hope that this job is yours.  Your attitude is so great, how could they not hire you?  They gotta be a bunch of nuts if they don't.  I always loved being either the first or last to interview.  If I was first, I would make sure I set the standard so high, that no one could compare, if I was last, I just made sure I just blew everyone out of the water that had interviewed before me.  I never did not get the job. I will pray alot for you...and everyone.  By the way, it took you long enough to post....dang I was ready to look up your phone number.

Steph, you about ready to hit bean town?  How exciting for you, and it will be a wonderful time of year to go.  My favorite states back there, is NY because of the hussle and bussel of it all, or Vermont in the fall...OMG, how beautiful that state is.  I hope that you and Mike have a great time.

Delores, are you settling in to being back from your trip.  I am so glad to see that you had a great time.  There is nothing like a vacation to relax and rejuvinate you.  Welcome home, we did miss you.

Katt, I am so glad that you are getting Tom's Farm together.  You know people.  She is doing alot of work on this.  It is a great time, and the clothing exchange is the bomb.  So make sure you start to clean out those closets and bring down your clothes that are too big, and get some new ones while there.  The weather should be really nice. 

Hey Chris, can't wait to see the grand total from weigh in yesterday.  By the way, did you just hit that 100 lb mark?  Congrats....what an accomplishment it is, and it feels so good when you get there, don't it?

Elizabeth (bebaugh), just a few more days, and you will be sitting on a very long bench of losers.  I am setting a spot right next to me for you.  Don't even think about surgery, it is not as bad as you think it will be.  I found it to be one of the easier surgeries.  Just 6 days.  Wishing you the best.

Lu....are you alive at all?  I do think you have got the 7-12 hour shifts on the downslide.  What a woman, and what hard work it is just to get up and do that.  Can't wait to see you back.

Jackie, you had a great weight loss, I am so proud of you.  Keep it up, and I won't recognize you when I see you the next time.

Rick, Doug told me that you called when he came to bed last night.  I guess when you get old, it's the same as leaving a message to a kid, they don't remember either.  I will call you today.

I see alot of new people on here asking questions.  If you got answers please help them out.  I always like to stop by and say something, make them feel welcome.  So funny how you get nervous when you leave your first post.  I can remember mine, way back almost 3 years ago.  I will tell you new people this, I had all the support I needed from this great group of people.  I was on here, I think a week before my surgery, didn't even know what I was doing, and I succeeded because of these people.  I went to my first coffee, and I have made some great friends on here.  There are some that will be my life long friends.  I can't wait to meet some of the ones from up in the Northern part of the state.

Goodness, this has got to be a novel.  If I didn't mention you, please don't take it to heart, remember I am old, and on pain meds, I don't remember me.  Oh yeah for those *****ad about the AC problem yesterday.  IT got fixed alrighty, to the tune of 900 bucks.  Can we all say, HOLY CRAP?  BUT it is working, and it's cool in here.  It should last for a long time now. 

Ok folks, have a great Thursday.  We all know what day it is, the day before Friday!!  Love U all,

Diane

Good Morning Diane and Cali Guys and Gals!

I hope all is well with all ov you this morning!  I got up at 5:00 thinking I would make the post, but you beat me too it Diane and did an Awesome job!  With all this work I am doing I am just pooped and don't get much time to read everything that is going on here.  I so love my new job and the flexibility of it and the variety of it all, it is really such a blessing.  I so loose myself in it.  Takes my mind off my troubles and I just love that. 

Well this weekend I am going to try and work on my Tan.  Not that I have one now, but I think I am going to work on getting one!  I think that would be the best thing. I also think I am going to catch up on some sleep as I am falling behind in that area. 

Well that is all for now the coffee pot is calling my name right now and yes I am going to answer!

Have a super day and do something nice for just you today.

Good Morning Diane and the Cali Crew!!!

I hope you are trying to get some sleep Diane.  I know it must be hard with your back and not being able to sleep in your bed.  I too have sleeping problems.  Not so much anymore since I have to get up and be at work at 5:00.  It is hard to sleep in on the weekends though because my body is used to getting up at 4:00. 

I haven't been able to post much lately because work has been crazy.  We are trying to get all the trucks moved so I can take the 3 day weekend.  I think we may have everyone moved.  I just have one truck in Kansas City tomorrow that I need to move back home to Cali and then I can take Monday off. 

I am looking forword to this weekend.  My car has been down for a week and I have someone hopefully going to be able to fix it on Saturday.  My starter went out.  I have had to walk everywhere again.  I know it is good for me but it has been so dang hot and smokey.

Have a great day everyone!!!  Only one more day till FRIDAY!!!!!
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.-- Maya Angelou

Morning Miss  Di and Cali!  Hope you are still soundly sleeping for awhile . . . and hope each day you are doing a bit better for sure!

Our total for this week is:  -30.9!  Wahoo!  Great job Cali . . . keep it going!  Just so you know, as we enter our last quarter of 2009 . . . our YTD total is a whopping -2,344.1.  WOW!  So how far can we take this?  I'd tell you how we did in our 1st quarter . . . but since I have Excel 2007 at home and 2003 at work . . . I haven't figured out how the hell I hid the first columns to be able to unhide them . . . guess I better get that training at work done too because we're switching over soon lol.  With all this said, I'm handing the file off to Barb to be in charge of all for next week . . . she is a dear!

Best of everything to Becky and her dad, to good news for Barb and the job, and to everyone for everything.  I have trouble remembering my name let alone do shout-outs . . . but I care!

Oh Diane . . . I hit the 100 lb mark several months ago (can't remember that either) . . . and have been playing around with 5 lbs ever since.  After the walk I will get serious again . . . but I'm so much happier than when I started all this!

All you newbies . . . don't be shy . . . jump right in and comment, ask questions . . . we love it all!

Have a great day everyone!  2 more days and I'm off the first job . . . work the weekend at Costco and then no wor****il the 16th!  WAHOOOOOOO!

Hugs
Chris

Good morning Diane and Cali,

Yes, I am getting settled back into the routine.  Yesterday was a bear.  Mom went home and I had some much work form taking a few days off that I could not go to the airport with DH and Vanessa.  Mom told me Vanessa would not give her a kiss when she left (Vanessa was mad because Grandma was leaving).  Oh well you can't blame her for being mad.

The month of September is going to be a blur for me.  I have so much to accomplish just  hope I am able to.  This is year end for us and I have loads of training to get done plus my work.

Everyone have a great day and keep safe!

Hey Lady Di You better be sleeping right now.

Well I wasn't able to make it to Pala with my sister on Tuesday...I developed a weird rash on one of the "girls" so on our way out of town I stopped in to see Dr Lee and he advised not to travel out of town.  He doesn't know what it is and put me on 3 different meds and wanted to see me the next morning (which was yesterday).  The "rash" or whatever is better and has not spread anymore but he (and I) are perplexed as to what it is.  Strange and I must say it was and is kind of scary as if there is a problem with the implants or something then they have to come out.  So I am laying low...taking it easy and just taking my meds exactly as prescribed.  I am thinking maybe some kind of bug bite or something.  Its realy weird though.  But like I said at least it is getting better and not getting worse or spreading.

So - since I didn't get to go gamble at Pala I am not in the poor house....my sis and I actually thanked Dr Lee laughingly and said well at least you saved us a lot of money....

As for today...not much just staying cool.  But I can't even go to the pool as 2 of the meds can make you light sensitive and  you could burn easily - so I am just catching up on DVR'd shows on the TV and running the AC so I am not sweating to death.  GOod thing I didn't gamble since I will need that money to pay the Edison bill next month...LOL

Anyhoo...everyone have a great day and I just wish this heat would let up a little...

Hugs to all..

Good Morning Cali Crew,

I was just looking at the calendar and discovered it's my 2 yrs surg-anniversary.  I feel great and I finally like how I look in my clothes,

I am settling into my second week of school and it's been very busy but I am enjoying the change of routine.

Well, have a great day everyone and please take care of yourselves in this heat.

Good Morning Diane and Cali,

What a last week of vacation.  Tuesday we both had doctor's appointments.  Jordyn will be 18 months on friday and according to her doc she is "perfect".  She weighs 25lbs (65%) and is 34in (95%) tall.  I saw the vitamin lady and she is shocked that I am not taking half of the supplements that they reqwuire and all my levels again are "perfect".  I was a bit nervous about that because after having my pouch correctly sized she said that I would probably have to make new vitamin choices.  Just goes to show if you have a good healthy diet you will get those vitamins in.

Yesterday I went and got my hair braided so I could look fairly decent for work next week.  Then we all went to dinner.

Today I am going to check out my class because some one was teaching summer school in there.  Then we are headed to grandma's for an over nighter. 

So I will say enjoy the day and the weekend

Monica
