Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!!!  Hope your day goes by quickly and without any trouble!  Then it is on to the weekend!!!  Have a wonderful weekend too!  I will be on later this evening if anyone wants to chat late tonight.  I have to work today, but it's not bad!  I only have tomorrow, then it is my weekend! 

Good morning All!! We will be going to the 3 hour Figure 8 actvities today & tomorrow at the Speedrome (east side). We go every year...love them! In the morning, we have to go to the RV place..there's some stuff Bill is having them do. I think I'll take a nap then..lol. Sunday, a friend has invited us over for lunch. She's a photographer and just opened her own studio in her house. She's been anxiously waiting to show it off..haha. I also have to come into work both days for ~1/2 hour. I can't complain though..I'll be getting 3 hr OT for each day so...9 hr straight pay for 1 hour of being here. Yep, can't complain! Whew! Busy weekend!! I was going real good at getting that last minute project underway until I hit a snag yesterday. One of my instrument pumps isn't behaving correctly. So...hopefully, I can get it resolved today myself. If I have to call in a service rep, no telling when he'd finally show up...and I doubt if I'd be able to get this project completed pre-op. So..fingers are crossed! Well...you all have a terrific day. Weekend too..but knowing me, I'll be back on to say 'hi' everyday! Sherri

Hi all! Thanks for the replies about the house. I was disappointed, but now, I think I'm just relieved to have an answer one way or another. You know? I am NOT good at waiting. Not at all. I felt bad for the realtor who showed us so many houses, but I told her sorry, and that you know, we were told we were preapproved. We didn't know we were wasting her time. What can you do? Maybe now I will reschedule my appointment with Dr. Grassee. Hmm. That's something to think about. All the plastics stuff was on hold because I couldn't do both. You know? Maybe I'm meant to do this instead. Hehe.

Today I lost another pound. I'm down to 171. I can't believe I'm almost to the 160's! WooHoo! I am 21 pounds away from my personal goal. I guess I have surpassed what Dr. Inman thought I would lose. When I asked her at the consult how much she thought I would lose, she said 100 pounds. I am down 114 since surgery. The ticker is counting from my highest weight last July.  I went to Plato's closet last week. I love that store now. I got about 12 pieces of clothes for about $85. Cool! I will definately be back there. I don't think they carry plus sizes. So it made it really cool that I felt comfortable in there. I didn't feel like everyone was staring at me thinking, "What's the fat girl doing in here?" Another wow moment.  And yesterday, some guy made a rude comment to me. It was great. Because it wasn't like, "Hey fatty!". It was more along the lines of "Hey baby!". I should have been annoyed, but I just let myself enjoy it. Hehe.

 

Linda, I know what you mean about that "What's that fat girl doing in here?" feeling.  I still feel that way when I'm shopping at old navy or at wal-mart in anything but the plus size section.   It is still so odd to me to be able to pick up a large T shirt and know that it will fit.  SOrry to hear about your house :(. We've been busy, busy, busy!  We had pictures of Gwyn taken yesterday (I bought entirely too many), we've found a house that we're just in LOVE with and are hoping to hear if we got it today.  It has a whirlpool tub and a fenced yard- what more could I ask for, eh? Chris went for a second interview for a technical position that will be a great M-F 9-5 with a desk job doing installation and IT work.   He seems to think it went very well.  He should be hearing back about it early next week.  BIg time prayers there. This weekend is Old Settlers, and I can't wait to go.  Lots of crafts and a parade,  carnival rides, and of course, the fair type foods.  Luckily I was never huge on those anyway.  Though I might have some fried cauliflower if I can find it.  Surely my trainer can't get too upset about that, eh? Anyone heard form Jo?  Wondering if she's popped yet.  Hehehe, had to go back and re-write that.  I wrote "pooped" instead of "popped." 

I only wor****il 10 this morning then it's off to my DH's family reunion at McCormick's Creek State Park.  Should be lots of fun this year since I won't be the one that "poor Darrell settled for." Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Annette, you are crazy with the ninja spike heel!!! I LOVE IT!!!

I had a wonderful wow moment today. I have a pair of size 20 jeans from Old Navy my sister gave me. These are size 20 regular junior sizes. I tried them on last week but i had to lay on the bed to get them on and today when I put them on they FIT.... EEEEKKK!!! I of course wore them to work and feel fantastic and they make my butt look way cute... Ahh the joys of losing weight are incredible.

Today is my moms birthday and Tuesday is mine... my sister, grandma, mom and I are all goign to go see Hairspray together..> We usually go out to eat but because I find it a waste of money to go out since I can't eat that much we're doing something else this year...
Tomorrow is my nephews first birthday so we will be up in Hartford City hopefully it doesn't rain for that... And then i'm going to go watch my friend get her tattoo straightened up. I don't know if you guys know this i can't remember if i told you all but I got my ears tattooed for my birthday and they're SO cute... There are pictures on my myspace www.myspace.com/jessdoll911 My DH said when I lose 100 lbs to celebrate I can get the tattoo that I want on my foot... I'm so excited...

Hope everyone has a great day it's FlIpPiN fRiDaY!!!!
