Good Morning Cali and Welcome to Monday's edition live from the windy desert! I am telling you this place right now could rival Chicago for the title of "Windy City" for sure!

I am telling you the wind has been bad here lately. My house is shaking it is so windy and I do not remember it being this bad since I moved here 8 years ago. My eyes are a mess between this and my already irritated eyes from my classroom.

So did you all have a good weekend? I know I did as I spent the bulk of it with Ava. Yesterday as a family, her parents and Jeff and I took her to Joshua Tree. I bought one of those baby packs and my son carried her around all day hiking as if she was his trophy (and rightfully so!) and she was a trooper. Grandma Neen lathered her up with 50 sunblock and her cute little hat I bought her at the street fair with bears on it and I had the lady put her name on there as AvaBear as that is what we call her and have since she was born. Now how can you not love a face like this:

How many of you really hate to go back to work today? I know I do. I told Jeff yesterday that when you get yourself relaxed like I was yesterday, it surely makes it even harder to go back!

Hey today is Brenda S's big day and her support page for some reason is not there. She posted her blog so people could leave their support....so get out and show that Cali lovin gang: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/CA/a,messageboard/member/a mcan/uzone,blog/action,comments/blog_id,130276/blog_post_id, 148328/

I know her husband will be posting her update as soon as he can!

Lori C's dad is going in for his 2nd radiation treatment and he could use all the prayers he can get as he still has a very tough battle ahead of him. As Lori has stated, her dad is very grateful that complete strangers to him care enough to pray for his well being.

So come peeps....whatcha did ya do this weekend? How are you going to make this a fabulous week inspite of having to work?

Have a great day everyone!!!

 

PEACE OUT!!! Biker Babe

Good Morning janine and Cali Friends!!! OMG!!!  Can she get any cuter???  What a sweet, sweet face! She is just darling Janine! I had a pretty good weekend after my Doctor's appt. on Friday.  I ended up walking out on the Doctor!  I have never gotten that upset before! I went in to my PCP's office, however I did not get to see him it was another......I went in because I could feel pressure around my ears and my throat was hurting a bit.  So I thought...ok, maybe I have some infection or virus that is making the lymph nodes swollen..Without even examining me, but looking at the results of my CT Scan she asked me if they were hurting before or after I got the results back and I told her after....she had the gall to ask me if it could just be in my HEAD!!!   Well......that set me off!  I told her I came in here to get help, not for you to call me crazy!  If you want to tell me it's in my head after you examine me than fine........I could accept that!  But not before you even look at me!!!  OMG!  I was so upset!  UGH!!! So I just walked out crying.......So needless to say I will never go back!  I need a new doctor now.......... Anyway, My sister took me to a hypnosis seminar.......I had never been hypnotized.  It was really neat!  She bought me the tapes for the weight loss.  So I am going to give that a try!!!  Also - it may just help to relax me and calm my a$$ down!!!  lol Have a great Day Everyone!!!

Thanks Jodi!  I always feel like you got my back!  lol  You go Girl!!! I actually am feeling better.  I went and got some Clariton and OMG!!!  what a difference!  This is the first morning I woke up in a long long time and felt pretty good where the sinuses are concerned. I thought about calling my surgeon to see if she knows of a PCP who is PRO WLS that would help me to achieve my goals.... And I did call the patient advocate and left a message but they have not called me back yet.  I know I was a bit sensitive Friday so maybe it wasn't all the docs fault but I just did not like her attitude!  I know she didn't say the word "crazy" but that's what it sounded like to me!   Have a good evening Jodi!  thanks again, Jeni  XO

Thanks for the prayers for dad, cali!!  His appointment is at 2pm every day, Monday-Friday for about the next 7 weeks, if all goes well.   When it hits 2pm, remember to say a prayer for dad! Thanks so much.... xoxo Lori

Good Morning Janine and Cali, I love that pic and the name is too cute.  My friend calls his daughter Asiabear and I have always loved it.   My weekend was spent running errands with my mom and jordyn on saturday and then attempting to just relax on sunday and trying to read the sunday paper.  I got through the sale ads and comics.  But I am determined to get it all read. Today I take Jordyn in for a lactation appointment to check how much she is able to get from breast feeding now that her tongue has been clipped.  I hope there is an approvement. Everyone enjoy the day Monica
