Hi Cali friends - What's Happening?

Greetings Cali Friends,

Sorry I have been MIA for a while.  Been super busy at work and life in general.  Just wanted to reconnect to see how everyone is.  Hope you're all doing well and life is being kind.  So what's happening in your world?

Hugs,
Barb

Welcome back! I've been super busy/crazy stressed, but in a good way I guess.

I've finally wrapped up all loose ends with my soon to be ex husband, and just waiting for my divorce to be final.

I am being transfered for work to Lancaster (where is that anyways?!) so I have to move. Ive been busy packing/cleaning/getting organized in general. I have to pack and move my house and my office - all in the same weekend!

Im also training to do a little triathlon in December with some friends in Palm Springs. I'm not sure how I find time to do it, but I do, and I'm enjoying it.

Hey Alison,

Congrats on all of your up and coming goals and a triathlon, that's great!  Plese keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.

Hugs,
Barb

Triathlons are fun! Plus anyone who does one, no matter how short and no matter how slow they are, automatically gets 'badass' points!

Hey Barb...

Good see ya back. I have been working hard also. I have started trainging for the LA marathon, and that takes up alot of time. I loving it. I get to see lot of the OHer who are also training. Its hard work but so much fun.

I am also asking for donation. If you can, any thing will help. Also tell your friends. I am sure they will help if they can. Right now I am 110 dollars alway from my frist goal of 500 dollars. So I need work hard to get that little bit more.

Its great see you around again.

Hey Lu,

Missed you my friend and so glad you are training for the LA marathon.  That's fantastic!  Unfortunately I'm not in a position to donate as I am the sole breadwinner in our house right now as Ron is looking for work.  But I will pray that you get all you need and do well with your training.

Keep in touch,

Hugs,
Barb

Dont worry Barb, I do so understand......Times are tight right now and I understand. Its hard to help with others when you need help your self.

I am training with many other OHers' and we have been here before, this is going to hard, but its what we need to do. I will get the donation. One dollars at a time. So don't worry about that. Keep you family safe, warm and well loved.

Good morning my CA peeps!

Things have been hecka crazy.  My dog at my lap top cable that charges it, so my battery has been dead.  My mom bought me a new cable - however it doesnt charge, just runs power to it (barely)  Life has been life getting busier, especially working out 6 days a week now.  I am just a smidge over 200, and just itching to get to ONEderland!  

My two month surgiversary has come and gone and still feeling as great as ever!!  Time is just going by so fast I almost wish things would slow down just a bit! 

Hope everyone is well - and hoping you all have a wonderful Halloween!

 Robert Li is an excellent surgeon.  Just thought I'd throw that out there.  =]  

Hey, Fellow Californians!  Ya'll looking forward to Halloween and getting to have a little freedom with your costume choice?  I think the last time I dressed up, I wore a blow up shower costume.  It was awful.  

I don't suppose any of you are near Lake County?  I was born and raised in Petaluma, but I bought a house in Clearlake in December of last year and would love to meet other WLS people.  (I can get to Napa, Santa Rosa and Ukiah fairly easily).

Hope everyone is having a great week!!
