Weekend Plans

Yay, it's the weekend. So what are you doing? I am going with my daughter to visit with two of my sisters and their children for a late Christmas get together tomorrow, then house cleaning / sorting on Sunday as we are having a friend to stay next week. Plus trying to get some rest in the middle of all that! Enjoy your time everyone.

Hi Ruth I am working...LOL and getting ready for our move and my other plastic surgery on my arms and chest in February.... I am closing my store at the end of this month, to get ready for the move. Hope you have a great weekend with you're family

Closing your store for good or only until you move? Where are you moving, I didn't even know you were going for another surgery. You're going to be a totally different woman. I know you were disappointed in the thighs, how do they look now that it's a few weeks/months later? Be Well and Be Healthy, ANDI

just until I move, I am getting a bigger store in a better location in Charlotte NC.... I HATE!!!! my thighs... the are so bad I can be seen in public with shorts or a bathing suite.... but I can put on black hose and a short dress/ skirt and they look great...LOL.. my tummy/ back look like I never had kids..or was fat....LOL I am planning on getting a breast augmentation and my arms fixed in February and sometime after my move getting my legs done... they are just to bad to not get done...It sad to be 121lbs and have all this extra skin still.....

I've been wondering how you are feeling after your last surgery? Are you fully recovered now? How much weight did you lose from it in the end? Do you have a new location planned yet for the store after you move? This time you've got the benefit of hindsight wisdom.

I feel great!... I can get weak , if I don't take my vitamins on time, but I never felt better... The scars are going to take some time to heal, but I love it... I am planning on getting my arms and chest done in February.... My chest is from a 42DDD to a 32/34 b and that's a stretch...LOL I lost about 8 to 10 lbs I think, I think most of that was just a natural part of the bi pass loss, I think it was about 4 to 5 lbs skin... but honestly its hard to tell. I range now from 120 to 123... and my legs are still quite a saggy mess... I do have a location in mind for my store, its a very nice up scale plaza being built close to my husbands office... I have learned NEVER let my husband pick the location... and to trust my own instincts.. when I added fairies and mermaids he made fun of me , but I love them and they are great sellers... I plan on making the new store more like that with allot of the decoration to be (girly and alone the colors of faritopiea(sp)) I told him the location he picked was bad, and it was... I have a regular following of customers, but its a very depressed area and all the businesses are suffering. I have learned volumes though, and am very glad for the experience. So after I close I will spend more time with my web page... My wire wrap stuff is a big seller... How is you're things selling? are you still having parties?

I did a couple in December together with some Christmas fairs, but to be honest, last semester was so stressful, the selling took a back seat. I may pick it up again this year when I've got more time. I still enjoy it, but it got squashed out!

this weekend I'm busy like a bumble bee! Friday went something like this: picked up a birthday gift, dropped princess at a friends birthday party for a sleep over. Boy b was at middle school and went home for a sleep over with my sister in law after a night of recreation at school (think carnival with sports theme). I dropped boy A at school for his night of recreation and then a friend of his was dropping him at my sister in laws house for a sleep over. My husband and I got ready and went to my companies holiday party, tough to stay focused on healthy eating when you're at a holiday party but I danced like I was on dance fever or hairspray and just kept going! Saturday: I went to the tailor's to take in some of the dresses I plan to wear to the bar mitzvah's that are coming up quickly and that took quite longer then I thought it would! I picked up my sons then I picked up my daughter and we drove down to my moms for HanuKwanzaMas which is a celebration of all December Holidays, it was lovely but of course my mom was trying to push food like a drug dealer! I got some very troubling news yesterday and I was really sad but i was thrilled that I didn't bury my emotions with food I allowed myself to feel them even though they didn't feel good! Sunday: I have to get all 3 kids to hebrew school, go down and cook for my in laws and then back up here because I've got to put a few hours in at work and then my oldest boy and I have a program at temple tonight for his bar mitzvah at some point i have to do laundry and food shopping so we can eat this week! ANDI

Andi you make me feel exhausted just reading about your weekend! I LOVE the idea of HanuKwanzaMas!!! Brilliant. Sorry about your news, but great that you didn't revert to old negative habits. Feelings are always good, whether we enjoy them or not - cells that do not feel, do not have life. Dont' forget to eat and drink while you are running about.
