Wanda, Sorry to hear you are in pain. Your life sounds so hectic. I think you need to take some Wanda time. Relax and recouperate. You are doing too much and your healing/health seems to be suffering. Is there any way you can get some time off? Glad to know that the reunion was nice even if short. You should have known that Randy would have only nice family members. Nothing to worry about. Let us know how you are doing. Get some rest lady. You need it. Hugs, Valorie

The family reunion was great. Randy has great genes---the family is super-sweet like he is. It was great to meet them all. It wasn't exactly the relaxing trip I planned. We had our surprise annual inspection that week so I had to catch a red-eye on Thursday after it was over, and it felt rushed from there. I had to be back to work on Monday. I had breast surgery yesterday. It went awful! I went in with a little problem and feel that I have a much bigger one now! I look deformed and the pain is more than I can stand---and I have a great pain tolerance! I need to return to work tommorrow and I just don't see how I can. I'm so sad and I can't stand he thought of another surgery. The face lift will NOT happen this year for me! Wanda

Hi guys. Just thought I would pop off a post to see what everyone is into today. Where is Wanda? We haven't heard about your family reunion. Did you have a blast? Was there dancing involved? Kim, Christy where is everyone this week? Come out and play. Hugs, Valorie

My SIL is 44 she has 3 kids 24, 21 and 12 and a 10 month grandson. She is doing wonderful and her numbers are going up every day when her white blood cells get to 1000 for 3 days in a row she can go home so maybe the tentative date of May 19 she actually will get to go home. It's so nice to get back into my routine, I went to exercise class last night and group and out to coffee with two of my friends last night. I don't drink coffee and never have I do drink Chai tea mixed with a vanilla protein drink every morning. I got a gift certificate to my favorite spa for a pedicure for Mother's Day so I'm looking forward to that if it ever gets warm enough here to wear sandels. Deb

CeCe - I don't think you've been Lazy - TIRED!!! Heck if I wasn't at work I wouldn't have been up that early. I really haven't had anything major going on - just the normal. Running back and forth to gymnastics, my son went on a band trip, work, and chasing kids. I am walking in a 5 K this weekend. My original goal - and still a goal but I have to wait until I'm a little more healthy - was to run/jog it. I will someday. But Sat. I will walk with my daughter and son - it should be a good day. My protein drink recipe is... - I usually use my magic bullet - 1 packet Health and sport wise hot chocolate (it doesn't smell), 1 cup soy slender, ice, decaf instant and sf syrup of my choice - I had an irish cream one once that was so yummy. Buzz and go. I have made me a snack in the evening using ff/ no sugar added ice cream, syrup, protein powder and coffee - a really nice treat in the evening if I'm really wanting something sweet. I'm a sucker for a good deal too. I bought two shirts this weekend at Sams - they are really cute. I also bought an IPOD Nano accessory pack for my son there for less than 10 dollars. It had a wireless FM thing so he could listen in the car, ear phones, emergency charger, arm band, several silicone cases of different colors, and other stuff I doubt he'll use much. I love a good deal! Isn't it wonderful to buy a coat now and know you'll be able to wear it next summer? Amazing - I could never buy things for myself on clearence. Now I have a harder time because 12 seems to be a pretty popular size! Wow it sounds like you had a great Mother's day. Once where your were pampered. You sure can't get any better than that. My 9 year old messaged my feet/legs and arms/hands - it was the best gift ever! Staying the same is winning!!!! Grazing - I hate it! I too constantly battle. Trudy
