Good Saturday Morning!!!!!!!!
Good morning everyone!
Tia is our weekday person & Nessa & I usually pick up weekends......but Nessa hasnt stepped in this morning, so here I am!
I am in the middle of cooking........cooking for 200 people! Yes! I know, I am nuts! We have our daughters graduation party tomorrow, and I am here, all ALONE, starting to cook! I think I am getting delirious! I have been at it since about 6 AM........I have my music blaring, dancing around......yeah, I have lost it!
I know we are supposed to avoid the "last supper", but this event is my last food related event with all my family & friends.......its not going to be that bad tho {yes, I am justifying!}......its just like a cookout style dinner....nothing fancy. Oh yeah.....did I mention after I cook all day today, I have to transport this all to the beach where we are having it at?????????
Anyways......whats everyone else up to this weekend?????? I hope everyone has a safe & fun weekend!

Well, technically, it's now Saturday evening, and Hojo, if you're still alive after cooking for 200 people, than you're a better woman than I!!! Happy Meals for everyone!!! LOL!!! I hope the party is everything you want it to be for Lizzie - she SO deserves it.
And don't worry about the "last supper" idea - this isn't the last of anything, rather, it's the BEGINNING of your new life. I promise that if you make good choices and share with someone (and wait to experiment until you're solidly into solid foods), you'll be able to eat at every place post-op that you did pre-op. And, I bet you'll find that some of the things you thought were so num-yummy and that you couldn't live without pre-op, aren't nearly as appealing post-op!
I've been up since 5, when I was awakened by my cell (never a good thing!). It was work, saying they needed a tape transcribed post-haste, so I waited up for someone to bring it to me at 6 and pick it up at 9. I'm exhausted now!! I had my alarm set for 8 so I could get some stuff done, so 5 really wasn't in my plan!!! I did some stuff around the house, went to Walmart and the Dollar Store, picked up Mom and B, took Mom home, picked up B's two best friends, we went to see "Up" at the movies (pssst....I napped for 20 minutes!) - it was a GREAT movie - REALLY cute. Then I brought the boys home so they could fight over video games and eat everything in the house while I did laundry!!!
So now, I'm waiting for my brother to get home (after 6), and then I'll fix dinner, take the boys home and go home myself and PASS OUT!!!
Tomorrow is more typing and the grocery store.
I talked to Darla this afternoon, she said the Relay was a LOT of fun - I'm so glad. I also got a message from Heather M. (she's still in the hospital), so I'm getting ready to give her a call.
Have a good what's left of the weekend!!!
Hugs,
Tia

Tia......
I am still alive! I just gone done with cooking!!!! It took me exactly 12 hours! I have fixed about 7 pounds cole slaw, 7 pounds mac & cheese, 7 pounds of pasta salad, a total of 8 dozen {before cooked & split} deviled eggs, enough baked beans to make a Army infantry unit fart for days, 150 hot dogs, and 150 hamburgers! And 14 gallons tea, and 14 gallons lemonade!!!!!! And thats just what I fixed!
I AM TIRED!!!!!!!!! Now, I have to get up early tomorrow.....pack all this stuff up in the truck....go pick up a truck load of ice, and head to the beach where we are having her party.....unload all of it, re-heat the meat & decorate the pavillion!
the whole last supper thing......I am not dreading life after WLS, like many people do. I am actually embracing it......to know that I have been given a tool like this, to better myself & my life........there is nothing to dread as far as I am concerned!
I hate early morning phone calls.....yes, they are never good! Sorry you got woke up extra early! I hope your day tomorrow is better!

Wow .. you are a braver woman than I !!! I love to entertain but not sure I would take on 200 people .. lol
It's 10 p.m. Saturday night and our weekend is 1/2 over and I should be asleep (I keep falling asleep in front of the PC .. ) We went to a surprise 80th birthday party in Locust Point this afternoon and had a fun time. I sure hope I'm so lively at 80 as our friend is!!! I was worried about 'eating' with the braces .. I haven't been able to chew very well but I did have some 'real' food .. even some chicken, and it went ok.
Tomorrow is a college graduation party. I'm looking forward to that too. There's a slight possibility the party may have to be canceled but I hope not.
And of course, I'm spending hours playing with the new kitties ,,, they are definitely more fun than a barrel of monkeys when they get wound up. I tried to take a nap on the sofa . and they didn't grasp that it was quiet time for Mommy ... they are NOT going to be allowed upstairs to the bedroom until they understand about not giving mommy kitty kisses on the nose while she is sleeping!!
Ok, off to bed here. Have a wonderful party tomorrow.
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!!!
