This weekend I'm going to teach at Penland. I will be teaching in the Hot shop. I will be teach lampworking..which is how glass beads are made. Penland is a craft school in the mountains of North Carolina. I can remember when I lived in California, I dreamed of taking classes at this school...and now dream come true and more!!! I'm working on a necklace to wear...pictures to follow. I will take my camera this weekend so expect some great shoots. I also hope to do my first glass blowing this weekend!

It was a rainy Sunday...I took a lot of photos today. I received a remote for my camera for Christmas but had never learned to use it ..so today was the day. I think I will take some classes on how to us my SLR camera.
I bought a bathing suit
Feb 24, 2007
I actually bought a bathing suit!! I bought a size 10, some time this summer I should be a size 10. I know that if I don't buy it now the selection will be picked over by the time I am ready for one. I thought that was very brave of me!!!
A sad moment

My daughter, Ivy, has been taking voice lessons for a short time. We found a teacher that just brought more joy to her singing. They really hit it off,they had great laughs together. She just told us that her mother is ill and she will have to travel to California to stay with her for an unknown amount of time. She isn't even sure that she will return to Charlotte. She has lived in San Francisco,and will most likely go there once her mother is better. We took pictures and she wrote Ivy a lovely letter. It is so hard to let favorite people move on with there life...
Hearts good to go....

I received a call from the cardio...and every thing was good!!! so 3/1 Physc 3/14 last pcp...and then I will have all my papers to the surgeon....then Oh happy day right around the corner!!!
1 month of diet left
Feb 15, 2007
I saw my pcp yesterday and I'm down 12 pounds since Oct. I had him sign the documents that Paul on my friends list helped me create....I must say that I was nervous while he read over them...I was not sure that he would sign them...but he did. When he went to make copies for my office file he smiled as he left the room and said it's getting close!!! I think he really backs me on this. I know I'm a light weight....I know I will hear from a lot of people that I am so good at dieting, that I should not have the surgery....but as I see my blood sugar rising as my meds are increased...my eyesight is being effected...that ireally scares me..He has increased my blood pressure med x2....these comorbids just can't be ignored. So further down the path I go!!!

While at the Cardio's office the tech asked what surgary I was having. When I told him WLS. He laughed and said that I didn't need it! How would he know?? He thinks because I don't weigh 300 pounds that I should just eat healthier and exercise. When I asked him how much he thought I needed to lose to be in the normal range he was surprise, but said that I didn't need to be skinny...
On a more positive note, I did well on the stress test. Was able to do the treadmill, got my heart rate up to 150 and could still hold a conversation! Two Dr appointments left and Phys. evaluation...then everything off to the insurance

Today's picture is of my son and his girlfriend. They were cooking for our family. I'm trying to start them off on the right foot, I want them to have family receipes that are low in fat and full on flavor.
Tomorrow I spend the day having my Cario stress test. I have a bag of things packed to pass the time. My book, ipod, and garden catalogs galore!!! I am going to take my camera so tomorrow's picture will be from that visit.
I am trying to post on the forums more, so that when it is my turn I will have friends here to support me.

Took my vitamins and my photo

A habit day two!
Habits...
Feb 10, 2007
Why are bad habits so hard to break and new habits so hard to keep. I have tried to start taking my vitamins daily, even put them in a cute litte box in my bathroom, so far not so good, and my health will be depending on these!!! I will do better. So I thought I would try a habit of something I love, photography..I'm uploading todays pic...my earring holder..an old picture frame with window screen attached...you can have great earrings no matter your size!!!
