Andi's Bored Today

Hello one and all! I had such a fun weekend and July 4th that today, on my day off, I'm bored and trying to keep out of trouble, no easy task i tell you! What's a bored Andi to do? Tonight we have tickets to see Superman 3D at the Imax Theater. In an effort to get to know you better and to un-bored myself let's get to know one another better: Name: Andi short for Andrea I live With: Husband, three kids, one dog, one cat, two *****hillas and a few fish Favorite Food Pre-Op: Asian Cuisine - never met a dumpling i didn't like Farthest I've Been From Home: Finland as an exchange student Animal I most Identify With: Pig - people think it's stupid because they are judging it from the outside in and not the inside out My Goal In Life: To ride every roller coaster in the U.S. then move on to the world - bet you thought i was going to say happiness and good healthy for my children HA What would i change about me if i could: I'm extremely impulsive and opinionated. Not everyone wants to know what i think on certain subjects. I would never say yes when i should be saying NO!!! If you think of any questions you'd like to ask please feel free, HUGS, ANDI

Name: Kristine I live With: Husband, 2 boys, 2 cats and a dog and one fish Favorite Food Pre-Op: Chinese food, it made me feel a certain high Farthest I've Been From Home: Germany Animal I most Identify With: A cat, I like to just hang out My Goal In Life: To walk to Indiana-it sounds nutty, but the fat man walking the man who walked from CA to NY inspired me What would i change about me if i could: I'd take away my depression Kristine

ok i have to ask....why Indiana? If i were going to walk some place i'd probably go the distance and go to California but perhaps Texas. I've always been intrigued by Texas for some reason, I'd like to know if ALL things in Texas are bigger *Smiles*! Depression is something we try to manage in our house every day....hubby seems to have found the right medication and it seems to be getting easier, or i'm just getting immune i'm not sure which. Hugs to you my friend, will i see you on Sunday? ANDI

Okay.. I guess it is my turn... Name: Jennifer.. aka. Jenny, Jen, Jenn or Fuzz (from high school... don't ask if you don't really want to know) I live With: My Husband, 10 year old son, 3 dogs (mastiffs), 4 cats and 1 guinea pig Favorite Food Pre-Op: I am still Pre-Op so I really don't know. I don't have a date etc so the "oh my goodness this is real" hasn't hit me yet. I really like macaroni and cheese.. actually anything with cheese/pasta in it is my favorite. Farthest I've Been From Home: I went to Europe as a graduation present with the Sound of America Honor's Band and Choir. We toured Germany up around and ended up back in London. I think that that is farther than California but it might be close. Animal I most Identify With: I think the Cat... I am pretty independent and like my space but also enjoy being close. I am a thinker and always looking forward. My Goal In Life: This may sound very corny but I am a Handbell Director and have recently started a Community Choir. My goal is to use this new medium to spread the joy of handbell ringing, educate people musically and also help local not for profits to raise money for their organizations. What would i change about me if i could: The most obvious thing of course is my weight but that will be taken care of hopefully in the next few months. I would like to make myself a little more able to "go with the flow" and not be so concerned about everything happening "just so".. NEXT???

I have a 10 year old son too...they really are so much fun! Do you have any pictures you can email me of the mastiffs, I have a fat as a house bassett hound! Now what exactly is a handbell? You must be fabulous at music, what else do you play? Being good at music is such a wonderful talent, it helps you in so many ways. If you have any wls questions I have no problem answering them. Hugs, ANDI

Music is my life.. I also teach general music at a small Catholic school (i'm not catholic.. another long story) one day a week, teach piano lessons one day a week and I'm the handbell director at my church.. I have 5 choirs with people ranging from 2nd grade through about 82 years old. I have some nice pics of my mastiffs when they were young (and I was a ton skinnier) at my homepage. It hasnt' been updated well.. in a very long time.. You will see me and my son.. I think he was 1.5 in the picture and he is almost 11 now.. hehehehe... www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3538 I'm sure that i will have a TON of wls questions.. I go for my first nutrition appointment next week and then a couple more of them a month apart... I'm starting to get really excited/nervous... Jenny
