i'm back

i had to take a break- as i had some personal things going on- update on me.. doing MUCH MUCH better- home and life is ok again. I was on "spring break" last week and basically stayed home and colored and played and went on walks with dog and son and dh. (when it didn't rain) I went shopping on tuesday and bought size 12 jeans (FINALLY) well- all the clothes were either mediums (coldwater creek) tops and bottoms- or sizes 12 (pants- NEW YORK AND COMPANY) I offically had nothing- i mean it nothing to wear- so i took some gift cards and forced dh to say ok- you can spend $50 on clothes... so that's what i did- my shoes don't even fit anymore- i went from 7 wides to 5 sometimes 51/2 normal width. weight is 160-164 depending on the day- been stuck here for a month and 2 weeks... I've lowered my "goal" to 150... (it was 160/165) on thursday I went to GLAMOUR SHOTS to do some pictures for dh's bday. OMG- i would've never done that before the surgery- and dh will drop his mouth- i know it... (over the pictures and PRICE) holy hanna- i spent way too much- and i'm not sure HOW i'm going to pay for it.. but I got 5 wonderful pictures.. 2 for mark and 3 for "showing" I narrowed it down to 11 pictures taht I loved from like 50 he narrowed down that the photographer liked- he had to take many becuase i kept sticking out my tongue or laughing uncontrably- or closing my eyes.. there was on a couple of them- i stared at- and didn't recongize me- i'm not thin by all means- and my excuss stomach skin- sticks out- it will never be flat- i couldn't take the plastics surgery- i'll live with it- but WOW- i saw me- and was like- that's ME??? with make up- and hair done- (i'm a plain jane- no make up and hair is whatever the shampoo and hair dryer do..- don't curl it- or hairspray).. i was taken back- that the girl who did it- i made cry like 3 or 4 times.. because of happy tears.. I had so much fun...nervous but fun.. wow.. and i think mark will be happy (we shall see- his bday is may 2nd...) so taht's about it from jennifer e.... sorry i was gone so long- but something happened that took me away for a little bit- but i'm back doing much better... jennifer
