1. Do you have any plans for this weekend? What? Nothing much really. Meeting with a group of people from OH that live in my area on Saturday morning for coffee, grocery shopping and just more hanging out with the kids. 2. What do you like to do when you have a day alone? I get Mon-Fri alone while the kids are in school, so it's not really a "treat" for me. I spend the time cleaning, cooking, making plans for putting the house on the market and computer time. Sometimes I read, watch tv and go to the library. I'm boring!! lol 3. How old were you when you spent the night alone for the first time? 19 4. Do you vote? Yes! It's a right and a responsibility! Besides, I figure if I don't vote then I have no right to criticise the people in charge. 5. Which do you prefer: Mickey Mouse or Garfield? Love them both, but Garfield's sarcasm is GREAT. Coffee or tea? Both, depends on my mood at the time. Fireplaces: wood or gas? Wood!! But gas is more efficient. Planes, trains or automobiles? Automobiles...and I like to be the one driving. Exercise: Walk or ride bikes? Walk Exercise: Walking outside or treadmill? Outside House or apartment? House Own or rent? I like owning, until it's time for repairs, then I wish we were renting. lol 6. Do you use face cream every night? Morning? YUP!!!! At night I use a heavier cream, in the morning it's a light one with SPF 15. 7. How often do you use hand lotion? Do you use it only on your hands or all over? I use hand lotion on my hands frequently thru the day. And, on my legs and arms after my shower to help prevent dryness. 8. Is your skin looser or tighter than you thought it would be at this point? Hmmm....it's not quite as loose as I expected, which is a good thing! 9. When was the last time you burned a candle? Probably a couple of months ago. We have a candle warmer that melts the wax and releases the fragrence....and helps it to last longer. We use that almost every day. 10. Are you having trouble sleeping since surgery? Sometimes...but I don't think it has to do with the surgery. It has to do with stress....

1. Do you have any plans for this weekend? What? Hmmmm, I was supposed to spend tomorrow morning / afternoon packing and cleaning at the apartment. Thats not going to happen as we are having an ice storm right now and I am leaving my car here at work (it's an old Toyota that hates bad weather) and catching a ride home. We'll come back for the car later...so....probably closet cleaning in the morning tomorrow, then we are going to a professional lacrosse (PHiladelphia Wings) game tomorrow night. Thats about it as far as out of the ordinary weekend plans. 2. What do you like to do when you have a day alone? Read! Maybe watch some daytime tv and relax a little. On those rare days - I usually spend about 3-4 hours practicing (piano) or fooling around with my keyboard composing etc. 3. How old were you when you spent the night alone for the first time? Sometime in highschool. 4. Do you vote? Yes 5. Which do you prefer: Mickey Mouse or Garfield?

Daily. hands only - I use body lotion on the rest. 8. Is your skin looser or tighter than you thought it would be at this point? Looser. I never thought I would be this far down until at least this summer. I also thought that with all the working out I do that I might be able to avoid at least some of the loose skin issues (ha, that didn't work). 9. When was the last time you burned a candle? New Years eve 10. Are you having trouble sleeping since surgery? No! I sleep better, MUCH better. before WLS I had to take a benadryl every night to fall asleep or else I would just lay there unable to get comfortable with all my weight pressing at various points. Now, at 10pm like magic, I lay back on my pillows and my body shuts off until 6am. No problems at all.
