3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY

Today, I'm grateful for:
1. My SB Barista - What a guy!! Didn't charge me for s/f flavoring or the double protein shot I usually get. Saved me a little over $1!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!
2. That my tool still works - Okay, despite all the great advice I can dispense, sometimes, I really do get an attack of the stupids. This a.m., I had a small pumpkin whoopie pie. I've had them before, but generally don't eat the whole thing at once, regardless of how small. This a.m., I did it without thinking and then about 1-1/2 hours later - dump city!!! When I dump, I get sweaty, my heart races and I just feel "outside of myself." Thank God it's passed, but what a tangible reminder that my pouch and rerouted system is STILL smarter than I!!!!
3. My parents - I told my Dad last night that my headlight was out, but that when I hit the ATM machine today, I'd get cash if he'd buy one for me. So this a.m., Mom left me $$ and Dad's gonna pick one up for me. The challenge will be to see if we can put it in without having to go to the mechanic!!! LOL!! These things never seem to work out favorably for us, but I can always hope!!!
4. The love of Happy the Puppy - Even when it comes at 1:30 a.m. and she's decided, "I need to drape myself over my girl and sleep," I don't care. How can love be SOOOOOOOOO unconditional???
5. That I know myself. I had to make a decision yesterday that caused me a great deal of emotional pain and will, for a while, I suspect. But I had to do it for my piece of mind. Hopefully, things will eventually be resolved, but if not, I still have to be secure in the knowledge that I know my personal limitations and did what was best for me. :(
Okay, got a big meeting this a.m. at 10, and have a bunch of prep to do, so I've got to run!!
Have a great day!
Tia
P.S. DON'T FORGET!!! 1ST ANNUAL OH HOLIDAY BRUNCH - SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7 IN ANNAPOLIS. MORE DETAILS FORTHCOMING!!
Just printed my boarding pass for tomorrow a.m. ACK!!!! I have to be up at 3 a.m. to get to the airport. Mr Mo is going to drop me off tho which is a bit easier than either a) driving myself and having to wrestle the bags onto the shuttle bus or b) be up in time for the shuttle van to come for me!
Completely UNPACKED the suitcase this a.m. I am going to think REALLY hard today about what needs to be in it and take another shot at packing tonight. I am ONLY going to be gone 3 full days (not counting the to and from travel) so how much could I POSSIBLY need ??? and I know I will STILL overpack .. lol
Hoping I don't forget something important .. like the vitamins and prilosec !!!
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
Good morning to my sweet Moie!!!!
Oh, yikes!! 3 a.m.????? As in - the morning??????? Yay to Mr. Mo!! Although I can't imagine him NOT taking you.
From one overpacker to another - better to have it and not need it!!!!
Put those vits and Prilosec in a pill case in your purse!!! The mother in me says you should always have some extra with you, anyway!!! 
Give me a shout from TX if you get bored!! And remember - ALWAYS be on the lookout for available, single cowboys!!!!
Love ya,
Tia
P.S. I HATE to see your email inbox after the circle hits while you're gone!! LOL!!!
Hugs, Mo

I'm feeling halfway human this morning so thats a lot better then yesterday
1. Mucinex
2. Heating pads
3. My parents: I felt so bad yesterday I went straight home from work: called
Moms cell and asked them to stop and get me some Mucinex - They dd
of course.
4. Gotta steal 1 from Tia: The unconditional love of my furbaby:
Shes stuck right by my side thru this cold/ PMS business - even
when I cann't stand to be around myself shes right there by my side.
5. For my OH friends: thanks so much everyone for the emails, PMS,
phonecalls - I have had a rough week and the support from all
of you is very much appreciated. Special thanks to Tia *****minded
me yesterday that no matter how bad I felt there were things to be
grateful for
Woke up this a.m. hoping you were better!!! Halfway is better than not at all!!!
Mucinex is a WONDER drug!!! What WOULD we do without our parents? So many people have fractured relationships with theirs - I'm not ashamed to say I am a Daddy's AND a Mommy's girl!!
And you know as well as I that there are ALWAYS things for which to be grateful, you just have to search.
Hugs,

being like 5 or 6 years old and crawling up on his lap to watch Dean Martin and the gold diggers
( Hey he may be a dad but he is a Man)
I thank God everyday for the love and support both Mom and Dad have given me my whole
life but especially the last 2 years : I could the preop waiting time because they were there
thru support group meetings, surgical consults and all that good stuff. I could never have done it without them .
I know some people think i'm too old to live at home with Mom and Dad; and its by choice
that I do. Even though there are times they drive me nuts I could not have a better relationship
then what I have with them
