Sipping coffee on Saturday morning

Good morning everyone.I have missed you guys working all week do not get here much until the evenings then I just do catch up reading.My bro in law and nephews came up last night to go hunting so we have company.Love it though due to all our family is down state still and we do not have much contact with them.They make funny comments about my weight loss.My sister didn't get to come(working).When she called her hubby told her "You should see Dani when she turns sideways she disappears".Corny!I do not feel that small but considering almost 200 later to them I probably look like a new person.
QOTD:Six things for Saturday that elate or annoy you
Elate:Watching my children play sports or in the band etc.....
           Seeing the boys faces when they are proud of themselves or open a great gift and get excited
            Discovering I am strong enough to do some physical activity that was virtually impossible a year ago
           Seeing the scale go down
Annoying:People who do not help persons with disabilities or stare or ridicule them...or parking in the handicap spot just because  they are lazy
                 Listening to the younger folks in public areas using inappropriate language...........................
Sorry for rambling just wide awake and talkative...Have a great day!

Well I'm up waaaaay to early this morning.  I first woke up at 4, tried to go back to sleep, nope, got out of bed at 4:45, went back to bed at 5:30, still no sleep, so I  finally gave up for good at 6.  YUCK.....I'm definitely taking a nap today!

Q:
Elate:  Had dinner with some great friends last night, love those nights.
            Spending time w/ my hubby
            Feeling better about me.....I'm healthier and happier than I've been in years.
Annoy:  My boss (well one of them, I love one and hate the other....problem is the one I love only works 2 days a week and the other one works 50+ hours a week!)
            Slow/bad drivers
            Did I say my boss!!!!!  Sorry she really pissed me off yesterday afternoon!

Have a great day all,

Edie           

Good Morning everyone!!
Didn't have any trouble sleeping later, today! Looks like a decent day outside, so may have to bundle up and bike ride later.
I'm so happy to hear those compliments, Danielle! You've worked so hard at your weight loss....
QOTD-
I'm elated with my grandson, Colin. He is such a joy and the brightest spot in my life.
I'm elated being a size 10. Never had been that size in my life prior to WLS.
I'm elated with my kids who've seemed to become decent, productive adults.....
I'm annoyed with the foul "F" word that seems to be a habit in the media and with a lot of people.
I'm annoyed with the Michigan Football team and their coach. They are really having a hard time getting their act together the past couple of seasons.
I'm annoyed with the attitude of "it's all about me" that seems to be prevalent lately with some people.
Have a good Saturday!

Good Morning All,

I am going to a huge craft sale today at my moms church.  I bought some great stuff there last year.  I am hoping to get my mil gift there today.  Then I will be done Christmas shopping.

QOTD: Elate: Finding the perfect (and useful)gift for people.
                         Watching my kids play together.
                          Knowing that I don't have to rely on others anymore. I can take care of myself.
              Annoy:The people at my work who complain about how terrible their job is. In this economy they should be happy they have one. They are lazy.
                           People who did not speak to me before wls and now try to be my best friend. I am still the same person, just smaller.

Good Morning All!

Happy Saturday,

It's been a long week but I am getting bored in the house so I am thinking I might try a car ride today.  I'm sure there are plenty of things I can go do today to get out of the house.    We are supposed to go out to eat for my Brother-in-law's birthday this weekend but I'm not sure I am going to go.  It looks like they are going to Buddy's Pizza and I'm not sure they have anything on their menu I can have.  Maybe I'll take my own mashed potatoes with me or something who knows.  If I don't go I'll make sure to send my husband.  No reason he should miss out.  I'm starting out my morning with my crystal light.  Seems like I can't drink regular water anymore.  I sure I that I can go back to my nice ice water soon.  I used to LOVE ice water.

QOTD:
elate:
~  Spending time with my dogs.  I love taking them to the park or for walks.  They just make me smile.
~  Spending time with my husband.  We got married young and no one thought we'd make it but we hit 10 years this year and proved them all wrong.  I'm always happiest when curled up with him.
~  Knowing that even though things are tough right now the chances of us having a baby in 2 years just went up significantly. 

Annoy:

~ My sister.  She just doesn't understand what it's like to be big.  She sits and says the most horrible things about some of the women she works with and says them in front of me and it's like she doesn't realise those same things she's complaining about them apply to me too!  I get so angry sometimes.  She just doesn't get it. 
~ People that go into other people's houses and have the nerve to get annoyed with their animals for sniffing them or something.  HELLO!  you came into THEIR house.  If you don't want them coming up and sniffing you then don't come over!  it's their house not yours!
~  People jumping to conclusions without knowing the whole story.  You never know a person's story, you don't know why they are big, you don't know why they drive a junky car or why they dress the way they do.  Don't judge.  You never know if their story could be yours one day. 

Ok, in writing that I now realise that I need to get back on my zoloft and wellbutrin..lol.  They didn't give it to me in the hospital and I'm seeing that I need it!  Not quite ready to be off of that yet..lol.

I see a few things that may work.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
                                       I have been up for awhile just being lazy.  I am also feeling so much better today.  I think the bug I had is finally gone.  Funny thing even before when I was sick I would still try and eat.  This time eating was the last thing on my mind.  QOTD:

Elate:  My husband and children
           Walking without my cane and less balance issues
           Being able to exercise and enjoying it

Annoying: Having to tell my kids over and over to get something done
                Hearing people complain about having to do things for their grandparents or elderly inlaws when one day they will miss them
                Parents that don't or won't get involved in their children's life and wonder why they do bad things

I missed out on coffee this morning since I made the 72 mile trip to go shopping at Kohls, etc.  It was busy and a craziness about it already.  There were no carts left in any store I went in.  Finally I went home with a 24 pk of play doh for my 8 yo.  What a wasted trip.  Well I got alone time anyway.  I also had professional photos taken.  I just had some at walmart but I was not happy with them and they cost just as much in the end as my photographer friend.  So I went there and we had some fun.  I was there in May and she said I was half the size.  That's not quite true but still...Then I did something I never do, I ordered from McD and ate like 4 fries and ended up throwing up on side of the road lol.  Nope, still can't tolerate fast food. 

QOTD:

ELATE:  When I hear my favorite band's music come on the radio, My 8 yo snuggling tight up next to me in my big lonely king size bed, discovering I fit size18 jeans today, yesterday I tried on 20 (too big so I skipped that size altogether) and XL tops, payday (it's once a month so it's a big deal lol), paying off debts, Halloween and fall

Annoy:  people pulling out in front of me whether it's with a car or cart, my ex (even though we get along he still annoys me), being broke half way through the month, swearing, rap music, parents trying to control me and my actions.

good Afternoon everyone.

I got up at 8 and went to the gym. I did 20 minutes on the RECUMBENT Bike and then 1 hr. water aerobics class. Took my shower and did my hair there. when I go home I noticed that Hubby's truck was gone. but both kids were in the house. Talk about your heart stopping. Then my daughter got out of bed and said Dad came home and went to harbor Freight store.

I glad no one stole the truck. And that DH was home.

When DH got back from the HF store, we went to Leon's and I had the breakfast bar. some scrambled eggs 2 bacon a bite of pancake, a bite of a port sausage, and 2 slice's of pineapple fresh. They had these little tiny cream puffs I had one. they were the size of a milk dud candy. it was good but I was afraid to be a piggy and have any more. Every thing stayed in stitch fine and no complaints.

QOTD:

Elated: I got in the next size down in jean (34W from a 38W) and they fit comfortably.
             I have good kids, They aren't perfect but they stay out of trouble
             My OH friends they are wonderful and so supportive.
Annoying: People who talk on cell phones at dinner or lunch, What on earth did society do before they had them.
The remote control. That thing must have legs and wonders off to many time.
Why do women's clothing cost more then Men's?
The fashion industry. Why is it that they use stick women to represent the average women?

It is going to be a good day not to cold not raining

have a Berry Better Best Day and stay safe.
