Good morning! It's Thursday!!

Good morning everyone! Hope you all are sunnier than it is outside right now. Maybe it'll get the rain out of the way and be nice this afternoon. I plan on leaving work at 9 this morning. Hopefully, anyway. It never fails that whenever I plan on getting out of work early..shoot..on time even!...I end up getting out late instead. I about have everything ready to walk out the door though so that's a good start! I think I'm going to start ~8 telling everyone 'bye'..lol. Yesterday, I went shopping at lunchtime. I needed some pants that would fit over the boot since my jeans wouldn't. I also picked me up a cute T-shirt that I think I'm wearing tomorrow. It says 'It's not about me. It's about what you can do for me.' I thought that was appropriate for tomorrow! Haha!! Does anyone know of an inexpensive trash hauling service? Someone I know lives on the near-east side and there use to be dumpsters in their alley. The city trash changed it to 96 gal trash cans instead...ONLY 1 per address. Well, their trash can kept being swiped by someone else and this has been going on for quite some time. They got an estimate on how much it would be to have all the trash removed from their yard. I haven't seen it, but guess it's quite a mess because the estimate was $450-500!! There is no way they can afford that much. I had offered to help them $$ but there is no way I can afford that much. Any ideas? Time for breakfast! Yummm! FF Cottage cheese & cantaloupe! Have a fantastic day! Sherri

Good Morning, Everyone! Another exciting day at the office... I'm so ready for the week-end, and I had a short week! I think I need a "real" vacation where I don't do anything but sit around, relax, and read some good books. That = NO SCHOOL BOOKS!! I am sooooooo ready for school to be over. I have 2 core classes and 2 electives left and then I'm DONE!!! I had a fill this week w/ Dr Gupta and for the first time, I think I have REAL restriction. WOW - what a difference! My band isn't allowing some of the things I was eating before....which is probably a good thing! I haven't PB'd or anything, but if I'm not careful, I WILL get the dreaded golfball....ugh! Lets hope that this fill is the one that will get the scale moving again. Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Bren

Hey Brenda, Congrats on your first fill. That first experience with eating with it is a real eye opener isn't it? hahahaha! How much did Dr. G put in, do you know? Jodi 267/167/I'Ve Made Goal

Actually, it's not my first fill - it's just the first fill that I've felt "real" restriction. It's my 4th fill in the 9 months since surgery. I currently have 2.5 cc in my band (4cc capacity). Dr G is very conservative when it comes to fills - she started off with .5cc (twice) and 1cc on the third fill and another .5 cc this time. Bren

Good Morning!! I know that feeling of saying "good bye" all to well. I stayed late the day I left for surgery just to make sure I had everything covered. I am so glad to be back but lordy by 2PM I am exhausted. I've been trying to come in early and leave early which has worked out well. The nice thing about being back at work is my weight is dropping agan. So far 2 days and 2 lbs! I was getting worried there for a bit. Man there is some loud thunder going over now. I better get to work on something! Have a great day everyone! Sam

Look at you Sherri! That is a great picture!!! I want to update mine but I left my camera on the plane when we went to Vegas and it was never recovered. I need to just quit being so cheat and just buy a new one! Not too much happening here in South Bend, just like crappy weather that it sounds like you guys are having. Hope you all have a great day.

Jaimee, Thanks! I've updated my pic since theis one twice, but the lates isn't showing up now. Sherri
