Whats New.....Saturday
I've been reading here a lot but Its been a looooong time since I posted. Since I can't fall asleep and it's 4:56am I figured Its start the what's new post.
My daughter and I went to Grove City Outlets today and came home with a couple great finds. There was a shimmery animal print top at Chico's that I've had my eye on for a while. The last time I looked at it the Chico's here in Pittsburgh it was $69.99 way too much for me to spend on a top. Today I found it at Chico's outlet for $19.99.........you know that top came home with me. I also found black and brown dress pants for $9.99 each. That's a steal at Chico's.
My husband and son went to visit Penn State today. That is one of the colleges my son is applying to. He will only be 17 on August 8 and will be a senior this year. He is having his senior pictures taken next Wednesday.Where has the time gone? This school year will be a hard one for me. I want to enjoy the last year of his high school and our daughters last year of middle school.Next year our daughter will be starting high school and son will be going off to college.
My weight has pretty much stayed the same since March. I still want to lose about 6lbs but I'm not going to drive myself crazy over it, I will happen eventually.
So, how is your Saturday starting out.

Isn't shopping fun these days, it's something I used to do, but even though I found bargins and things I liked, I always looked in the windows of clothing stores I could not shop in and dream, now I have to remind myself I can shop pretty much anywhere I want to, and my closets have certainly gotten a complete make-over (lol). Like you, I still have weight I want to lose, but I'm not going nuts over it, I've been swinging between 156 and 161 for the last month, but I've been off my exercise program, so I know that's the reason and I'm not going to worry about it, once things settle here at home, I'll get back to it. As for the kids growing so quickly, I hear you, now I'm watching as my grandchildren grow up quickly. But me, I just younger and younger.
This morning I am taking Dillinger to the vet, as when I got home last evening, just at the time I was supposed to leave to take him, a storm broke out and Dillinger gets very scared in storms, so I called the vet's office and they gave me an 8:30 a.m. appointment.
So that is how I will begin my day and then I'll see what me and my sister decide to do, right now the weather is pretty nice, but not sure how the rest of the day will go. Hope you all have a great day.
Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen
P.S. Thanks Stephanie for that site, I've finally been able to shrink a picture for a new avatar, which picture was taken at one of my WLS friend's wedding the end of June.
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning, ya'll. I slept in a little this morning (didn't get up til 5:30). But I'm still on here earler than usual.
It's gonna be another hot, humid day in the south. Our son is already here, out in the new shed, putting up shelves for his Dad. It's best to get this stuff done before it gets too hot to breathe!
I went to a surgeon yesterday to talk about my gall bladder. My PCP thinks that is the root of all these stomach pains I have been having. The surgeon seems to think the same thing. I've known for months that I had gall stones. SOOO, next week they will be calling with a date for surgery. This will NOT affect my band at all. No unfill, no anything. At least that is what the surgeon says. Not sure he has had LOTS of experience with band patients. But he felt me all up, found the port, talked about where the previous surgery scars were, talked about where the band and tubing was and that it will not be anywhere near what he is doing.
I am thrilled. I was so worried this was gonna require an unfill. Without my saline, I'd be back to will power, and I know how good I am at that!!
Just as a side note. I think it should be legal to shoot your DH if he is being an a**hole, if you have been married more than 25 years! Perhaps just in the leg!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

i have only ever looked at chico's catalog and drooled....
you , my dear, are entering one of the best and yet the saddest parts of motherhood in re your son--wow--- you're gettin old hon!!!!
so- did some errands after work; ate dinner and went to bed- was dumping on something from dinner and have no clue what--same stuff we ate the day before and the day before that...anyhow- that was at 630-woke up at 10 to hubby asking if he should get up and get his pm pills and that he was cold--i didn't even know he was in bed with me! i got him his pills so he wouldn't have to get up , covered him cuz brodyboy had the comforter! i took the dogs for their last potty of the nite and then he got up anyways- we had a cuppa decaf and watched the end of a movie and went back to bed! michael has some kindof a cough goin on and it bothers me- sounds croupy or phlemy almost -and he didn't have it when i went to work!
one of the gals at work (upstairs in clerk's office proper) brought in a pan of zucchini brownies - i tried some- yummo but OMG the sugar!! i could easily adapt the recipe tho...
alexa is hanging on and prayers are being said..... you could hear a pin drop at work yesterday-the air is so clear we are all so concerned....
we are down to 79 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
michael hauled some stuff outta the garage yesterday and put the sale sign up- sold $5--i am hoping he doesn't do it again today cuz i really have other things i want to accomplish...the big town near us is having city wide sale this weekend so noone is coming here to lindsey!
tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 we show the house to this school teacher i wrote about in a seperate post- she is single and grew up in the country- loves our house becuz it is a country like setting in the trees...teaches at the elementary school in one of the next towns - so she would be about 8 miles from home--i am only worried about the a**hole neighbor - he stalked the young lady who bought the house next to him til she sold and moved out...and the only reason we have trouble with him is that we live in "THIS" house- he hated the former owner...so what do i say to her? do i scare her off/ or do i pray....if she likes the house she'll have her parents drive (from an hour away somewhere) to look...she has been trying to buy for a year she says- looked at 3 houses and was "outbid" so i am thinking she offers low??? trying not to get hopes up-but each person needs to be treated as potential buyer!
so- today will be more packing and cleaning....need to dig in the freezer for dinner ideas..we are really needing to empty both freezers (small chest and the kitchen side by side one) out!
praying for laureen and dilllinger...and all of you! sending hugs!

If you can't tell there is zucchini in it my dad will love it. LOL...heaven forbid he eat healthy. My mom is almost a health nut.......she eats mostly organic (grows an organic garden), very very healthy food, no chemicals in the house or on the lawn, etc, etc....my dad, is almost the total opposite...he doesn't like chemicals in the house but doesn't read the label of food he likes! Oh well...I know mom will get a kick out of him eating this.......sometimes she doesn't even tell him what's in it. Cute.
