Howdy!!

Dixie, I'm here - I'm here! No probs and nothing wrong, just relaxing and enjoying every minute of life. Thanks for wondering, though. Yep, our school starts back early because we went to a balanced calendar - what some people call year round school. Kids come back tomorrow and then have a several two week breaks throughout the school year. We don't get out of school then until the middle of June. I don't agree that this schedule will be condusive to the students that I work with (special needs), but will give it a try for a year. And, yes, this profession is definitely a little noisier than yours. By the way, why are you going in early doing jobs that you don't normally do? Wow - your hubby won't know what to do with you at all after all that surgery! Sounds like your surgeon is pretty good at what he does. Is it normal for the mons area to remain a little big after the tt? What have you decided about the inner thighs? Won't this lift help the inner thighs a little bit? Well, hope that you didn't swim in your jammies! God bless, Andrea

Andrea -- so great to hear from you. Those rashes can really suck can't they!! And painful too. We're back in school on the 24th. I think my 10 y/o is a little nervous (as usual), but looking forward to it. It will be nice to get back to the "routine" again. I found out how to lose those last few pounds, but won't recommend it to anyone. I'm going to be one of those statistics who couldn't make things work with my s/o after the weight loss. I know the weight loss isn't the reason, but it sure is getting blamed on a lot. The stress is way high now and I've lost another 15 lbs or so in the last few weeks. I'm finally at my dr's goal (150) and am quite sure I'll make my personal one also (145). Food just isn't on my mind much right now. On a good note, it seems like you actually can shrink your pouch. It takes much less to fill me up since I haven't been eating much. I'm planning on going to the picnic in Cedar Falls and I know Dixie will be there too. We would love to see you Eastern Iowa girls there!!!! TTFN Janie 272/150/145!!!

Wow, ya'all - it sounds like this picnic may be the "in" thing to do. I would love to see all of you (some a second time)! I'll have to talk to Jesi and see if I can schedule it in my busy life. Thanks all for making my day! God bless, Andrea P.S. It's after 5:00 and I'm still at school for open house (5:00-7:00) then board meeting at church at 7:00. And so it begins..................... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
