Jennifer has filed for full custody of Raven. We go back to court on November 9 at 1:30 PM. My poor son is just beside himself! His attorney told him to take a deep breath....she is very confident that nothing will change.....please say a prayer for all of us! Holly

I'm here. Back in the full swing of the fall schedule. I've added a few more students this year, so that means lessons every evening (except Fridays and weekends)...1 -3 a night. I'm still trying to squeeze the gym in on top of that. Had my first "climbing" lesson this past weekend (part of my one year surgiversary present), followed by a morning (ok, just two hours) of pampering at a local day spa. We have a wedding this weekend. And, just when I thought I was seeing the end of a hectic life and a chance to slow down and relax a bit....we decided to put our condo on the market and start the process of finding our "forever home." Our condo is so small, there is no way we could imagine living there if our family grows. We can't even fit a piano in the place, which is why I am running myself ragged driving all over two counties in the evenings teaching piano. With a bigger place we can find a piano and let the students come to me. But it means making a hectic scramble to fix all those little things that have been on the "honey-do" list for the past 6 months, paint the bright red kitchen walls, clear out and store the clutter and extra furniture that is crammed in there etc. Just what one wants to face when we're entering the holiday season. On the WL front. Things are good. My mother-in-law actually said to me the other night that she thought I had lost enough weight and should probably consider "stopping." I laughed because I have slowed down so much, but...and medically I am still considered "overweight" I would love to loose another 20lbs or so. I did make my 1 year goal of 160 and a size 12!

Hiiii Holly! I am here... I just got back from a 4 day vacation in Vegas.. It was my BDay on Saturday so I went with my son and brothers family. Had a great time.. We saw a Magic show with Pam Anderson... It was super cool.. Went to the wax museum.. I was all matching myself with everyone.. I am the same size as Beyonce... lol. Are hips are the same size.. I was all woohhooo.. I got my picture taken with Prince.. My favorite.. I am bigger then him.. When I get the pictures from my sisters camera I will post them.. Things have been really great.. I havent lost anything in a while but thats ok. I went to my PS consult. I went to one on my own, not for Insurance to pay. His name is Dr. Katzen. Advertises on OH alot. does alot of seminars with OH. Any ways.. He said I need a lower body lift.. showed me what I would look like.. Said I have about 10 lbs of skin and left over fat on my tummy and butt.. He said with the body lift, He can raise my entire butt up with my thighs.. Then (not be gross) but I need a labia reduction.. So on the first surgery he would do my LBL and labia reduction ($20,000) then 2 weeks later go in and do my boobs and inner thigh lift ($20,000). I will have like a 2 inch scar on my inner thighs.. So.... $40,000..... I might have to do my tummy first, then the other stuff later.. My reg Doc wont even ref me to a PS. She said she doesnt think it is medically necessary.. I was really upset when she first said that, but I am over it. nothing I can do right? Things are better with my son and work is going so good.. The future so bright I have to wear shades.. So anyway.. Thank you so much for asking about me.. Thinking about me.. Means alot to me.. I hope all is well with you!! Love you october sisters!!! Tiff
