Good Friday Morning Cali

Okay so is everyone doing the happy dancing that it is Friday???? Brought to you live from the CA desert...and not smoldering yet or thick and humid.......Good Morning Cali you awesome crew!!!  

Mega busy board this week with surgies of Julia and Linda which I hope you both are doing well!

Diane where are you this morning? I thought for sure I would have gotten up and you had posted! How is Dougie doing? I hope that his fall has not made the guy all sore and cranky. Are you all prepared to go get sliced and diced again? You are going to be the bionic woman here pretty soon!

Maureen I am sure happy that your doctors office has called...you for sure are on the fast track to yelling out you have a date for the Losers Bench! Loved that you and Jayden did time at the Humane Society. Those poor animals....I feel so sorry for them!

Lola it is great to continue to hear that you are doing well. Soon you are just going to be marching on with life as if life after wls is the norm!

Terry aka horselady....I know it is hard for husbands to understand sometimes about wls....but you are right after 35 years of marriage...who would want to go looking. He just needs some reassurance which I am sure you can give him.

Kim aka Puddin...woohoo and the hot date...you go girl...and a good girl never kisses and tells!

Nikki....I sure hope that soon you land a job, but you are right....maybe this is better because of having the reduction that is coming up soon. Somehow I do believe that divine intervention steps in for whatever reasons.

Rhonda.....good luck with your upcoming surgery and for sure having Kim as your angel is a good thing...she is a great person!

SueBee and the camper gang...I know there are going to be stories to be told of this week...although I will not be there first hand to witness....would love to be a fly on the wall.

Steve....it was really a nice day yesterday out here in the desert in spite of the heat. It was a lot dryer than it has been. Although they say the humidity is rolling in on Sunday in a big way again because we are going to get another monsoonal flow. I hope that your celebration goes well this weekend. I know you have really put together something really special...you da man!  

LuLu....Fresser really sounds like a character for sure...OMG....I just laugh at your stories about him!  I'd ask you to come and clean my carpets...but I have none   What got into you...are you crazy doing that much work?

Vicki...how are things going up there in mid-state...you must be counting days and good on your for maintaining!

Oh speaking of maintaining and weight loss....how about those last two weeks of weight loss on our WWW mornings....incrediable for sure!!! All of you losers are doing so dang fantastic....just blows me away when I start seeing weekly totals and can you imagine when Steve posts the grand finale for the year??? IT is going to be mind blowing for sure!

Jeni....you got to hang in there girl and keep your chin up because as I have told you...you will get this surgery....maybe not in your time, but you will....you just have to play the stupid insurance dance and with hopes a call from your PCP will help tremendously!

Userlisa2.....you are almost a LOSER....I know that you are super excited and looking forward to this....I know it must be hard not having a supportive boyfriend and I think sometimes they are not supportive or seem like it because they do not understand and they get comfortable with who you are and do not like change. All you can do is let him know that you are still the same person inside...ok?

 ShellsBells I do hope that you will find another job soon...didn't you say you were thinking of moving up north? Stay focused and believe me things happen for a reason!

Hey Lauren Marie....I would love your price of gas down here! OMG it is so expensive and it is like I do not want to even drive anymore. I have seriously cut back on my frillious driving. I stack up errands because I do not want to waste the gas.

Harriett....hope all goes well with your 6 month labs...you are doing great and looking great too....wow hard to believe you have an 18 year old! Have fun celebrating this weekend!

Hey Jodi....I know this is sick,but would it not be funny to have a flappin skin band?   I am telling you if we cannot laugh at ourselves who can then? Kim and I were talking the other day when I was then and honestly is a real cruel joke after going through what we have gone through and have all this excess skin. I did not think of it prior to wls, I just wanted the weight off. Even though I have gone through major reconstruction, I still feel that things could have been better in some areas....ie the thighs. I know I did not have my done super tight because of get this of all reasons....I did not want the tattoo on my thigh distorted. So I still have some flapping going on and yes even though I do exercise....gravity is a real mother of all mothers! And trust me even though you come out looking better, I would not want to wish the recovery on nobody especially for a thigh lift!

Becky did you have fun last night at the casino? Happy birthday to hubby also! I went to the casino with my friend yesterday...we both bombed....me a little bomb, but we got a free lunch. She is not a bypass person so she can eat...me....I had a scoop of taco meat with salsa and some chinese long green beans....now how exciting is that?  

Jean have not seen you around....is everything okay or are you just being busy being super angel?

Monica W....where have you been....been mommying Jordyn...is everything okay?

Candi....how is that beautiful little granddaughter of yours doing? I loved the pics of her...thank you for sharing and now that you are using photobucket, you can click and paste them into a post here!

Speaking of babies....are you ready for this? As Ava is getting ready to cut the hours on her helmut.....my sweet faced Hunter is going to have to have one also. We thought it was just cosmetic, but Hunter also has tortacalous like Ava has. HE is going to have to go through the same PT like Ava and is going to have to have a helmut. The doctor said at Cedar Sini that his ears are 1/2 off from each other and now that he has said something, I can see it from behind. I was telling Kim about how there is 20% of kids here in the valley that are born with it. I think it is weird because it is nothing I have ever heard of until my grandchildren. She said she wanted to see if there could be an investigation done through the paper she works for here when she goes back to work.

Oh yeah and wanna hear something cool....this past spring when my friend was here visiting, I took her to Joshua....well there was this older gentleman out there shooting video footage, and he asked if I would take a pic of him out there...sure I said. He does educational video's. Well I sent it to him...several of them...and I get an email the other day asking my permission to use it on a DVD jacket of his next video. I said sure...and he also made reference to me as the photographer. It is a no big deal pic, but I thought kind of cool. He is going to send me a DVD when it comes out! Here is the cover and Ozzie:my name appears below how to contact him.

Well now that I have blabbered on and on....what are your plans for the weekend?

Hope you all have a great day and remember to drink tha****er, and when you think you drank enough...drink some more!!!!

PEACE OUT!!!!  

Good Morning Calif.....

Janine....I think that is cool that the pic you took is on the cover, and that he gave you create.  See you is spiecal.

Not much going on for me today, just work. Tomorrow, I am going to see a friend and spend a bit of time just visiting. Should be a nice time. Sunday, I have nothing going on. So I am going to relax and hung out. Thats my weekend in a nut shell. I might going into work on sunday for a few hours, if I can. Just to work on some billing stuff. But not sure yet.

I do wish you all a great day. Remember to drink your water and take your vit.

Sending love.

Good morning Janine and Cali crew!!! This has got to be a record for me, 2 mornings early even!!! lol   Up to take Tara to school and then back to bed so here I am.
Thanks for the shout out Neen!! We didn't do any gambling, just eating! I had some lobster, prime rib, shrimp ****tail, creamed spinach, and sf cheesecake with fresh berries. It was soo YUMMY!!!!  I will give Mike your birthday wishes, thanks!!!
Ok girls, you HAVE to go see Momma Mia, it is the bombest movie ever!!!  The songs are a great blast from the past and who knew that Meryl Streep could sing so good?!!! It is hilarious too!!!! Definitely not a guy flick and definitely a GREAT see with your girlfriends movie!!! I saw it last night with Tara, but am dragging Dawn and Lisa to see it for sure!!!! I left the theater last night in a dancing mood!!!!  

Tomorrow is my 25 class reunion picnic!!! Man do I feel old, but I can't wait!!! I still hang out with a lot of my high school girlfriends, but there will be some I haven't seen in awhile.
Then Sunday Mike and I are probably seeing The Dark Knight Batman movie!  It sure is great to have a daughter that works at a theater, we will be soooo bummed when she quits (probably after summer)!!
Welcome to the LOSERs bench to our newbies and for those going on Monday, buckle up for a great ride!!! Praying for all of you, may God bless your journies!!!!

That's about it for me! I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!
Campers have a blast, sorry I am having to miss it now!!! Anyone else meeting up this weekend, like Norcal, have a blast!!! I love that we all have so much fun together!! Thank you God for OH!!!
