Update and big news!!!!

Great!  The next SCVQA meeting is Tuesday evening.  This will be my last issue of the newsletter - as I am the outgoing (and none to soon IMHO!) newsletter editor. Maybe we can find each other at the break - I'll be making an announcement, so you'll know who I am. 

Anyway, I'm teaching a three-week class at Quilter's Nest starting Nov 10 from 6-9pm.  You just need to be a confident beginner - i.e. you can cut material and sew a relatively accurate 1/4" seam.  The one in Feb is at Prairie Queens, and for that you need to sew a very accurate 1/4" seam (or be very amenable to un-sewing and re-sewing until it is!) and be very organized.

I hope to see you Tuesday, and again - congrats on all the good news!

congrates on everything that must be totally exciting for you ... i'll be moving soon too ..

Thanks! Where are you moving to??

That's cool about the wedding. My best friend married his partner about 1.5 weeks after my surgery. Even though I had to bring my own food because I was on liquids, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. It was one of the nicest weddings I've been to in my 50-something years.

Did you see the Bay Area get-together in Nov? It's the Sat. before Veteran's Day.

I did NOT see anything about the bay area get together?! How exciting I cant wait!!!!

Hi Shells.

Congratulations to you and Chris.  I for one am voting NO on 8.  I wish you well and I truly hope that it will not pass and you will continue to have the same marriage rights.  It's long over due.

Best of luck to you, and another congrats to you on your weight loss success. 90 lbs.....WOW  weigh to go

Linda

Thanks!

I hope you got yourself to the Dr? I saw a recent post that you were having some issues! I'll be waiting to hear how you are!

  Congratulations on your upcoming wedding sweetie!!! I'm so excited for you both!!! Sorry that you are having to ru**** but I'm praying you all still have that right after the election!! Have a wonderfully beautiful day and don't forget to take pictures for us that can't be there to share in your love and joy!!!
Great news all the way around!! I'm so glad the move ended up being such a positive change for you. I will be praying the job extends and maybe even ends up being permanent, especially since you like it so much, that is important!!!
YOU GO GIRL on the weight loss!!! You are really working that tool and I can't wait to see the new pics!!! Keep up the great success!!!
So happy for you all the way around sweetie!! Sorry it took me so long to respond to your great news, but I just started a new job after not having worked for 2 years and it is kicking my butt. Lots to adjust to as a postop WLS too!!  lol
bigg huggs and MUCH CONGRATULATIONS, Becky

Thanks!

How are you liking the new job?? I had a hard time with adjusting to work as a post op myself, I was used to keeping myself occupied by munching all day! LOL

I love it so far, sooo much fun!!!  The challenges are fitting in my water and vitamins throughout my shift. I have to sneek off to get a drink of water and when it's busy like it was this weekend, it is hard. And I am one that MUST follow the no drinking and eating at the same time, so on my 2 half hour breaks I can't drink because I'm getting in small meals! It will definitely take some getting use to!! GREAT cafeteria with lots of great protein choices though, so that part is GREAT!!!!
Having MAJOR OH withdrawals, hee hee!!!!
Thanks for asking sweetie!!! have a great day!!! bigg huggs, Becky
