WHATS HAPPENING HAPPY NEW YEARS
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!! TO ALL MY FRIENDS LETS ALL WORK TO MAKE THIS YEAR 2009 THE BEST YEAR EVER That is my goal or resolution is to laugh more, love more and live life to the fullest. To exercise more and get out and just MOVE IT MOVE IT....i love exercising to that song lol makes me happy . I have such great expectations for this next year. Joe and I will be leaving soon for our trip down in the southern part of the states, We have decided to wait until they have a warm up lol tho to go. And then we are just going to go down to La and spend some time with our good friend there and then over to Tex to visit my sister and then to Az. Which will take us about 4 days to get to more than likely, you can only ride so far in a day on a trike before it starts really getting to you....Im really anxious to get our trip going...we still haven’t gone and bought our long handles will need to do that soon. And have to get a new tire on the front of the trike. Which isn’t cheap. Yikes. !!!! at least our gas wont cost much for the trip. Im getting excited about all of this...... Just hear that most people gain 7 pounds over the holidays, hahaha I beat that I lost the 7 pounds that I had gained before the holidays started ...i hope that the exercising in our exercise room will help me stay on point and hope to lose maybe a few pounds more. Wonder how I will do on our trip? Hopefully will do all right I know I eat about the same all the time. Ive been eating protein first for so long now that it is just normal to me. I was on Atkins diet for about 2 years before I ever had surgery so it wasn’t a new thing for me when I had surgery. And I had been doing protein smoothies and drinks way before surgery too so it all seems like a normal thing for me. I know when we go on a cruise I always lose a couple of pounds so hope I do as well on the trike too. SUSAN::::::well hope you stay awake long enough to say Happy New Year to Andy lol Hey if you didn’t get your black eyed peas and hog jowl for today come on over we will have some about noon ...maybe some corn bread thrown into ...you always have more luck from eating this stuff if you share it with someone too. So come on over.... SUGAR:::::well guess you are in Branson today. I may call her and go over and get her to go shopping with me some on Friday maybe. POOH BEAR;;;;;;;;I know what you mean about the temp on Tuesday it was 70 as a high here at the house and yesterday the high was 35 I think. I know it was cold...Joe and I got all the Christmas decorations put up and trying to get everything else straight so soon we can get out of dodge. Lol oh on the peanut butter balls you said you thought you would use more oatmeal, can I ask what kind you used...i use the old fashioned oatmeal in mine so it doesn’t get mushy...i saw some one said they use the instant oatmeal but I think that would make them be soft and mushy...the uncooked old fashioned oats keeps them stiffer and dryer. ..Hope your doctors appt turned out ok... JANET:::::::: well for sure it is now a new year...of course we were at one of the greatest , most sought after party invitations in the world , lol of course we did .you think you are old about the parties..lol if you are too old to party then we are ancient ..oh well just as well , Joe would be finding a corner somewhere and go to sleep anyway lol You know this is the first year in my life that I think I haven’t been so worried about my weight that I tried to do everything possible to just lose a couple of pounds and then get so disgusted and gain them back with more added. I know I have never reached the goal I thought I want to get to but it really doesn’t bother me that much. I think this next year you are going to find a way to control the pain you have without it being narcotics and I just know that you will get your book done and hopefully it will be a best seller and solve all of your money problems lol wouldn’t that be great? The having the baby shower after the baby is born sounds like a really good thing so that Megan can enjoy it... Wow your kids have birthdays close to mine...my birthday is the 30th are they both Aquarians too? I hope you have the best year that you can imagine....And that all your dreams come true... PEGGY:::::: well there you are. My goodness we all wondered if you had just gottine tired of all of us and was just playing hookie lol . Oh man it is a shame when families don’t realize that if their kids are married then they need to learn to share them with the other family...man some people, I really lean over backwards the other way I guess. In case the other family has serious needs. Really doesn’t make a lot of difference. I think from now on tho im going to have my Christmas maybe the week end before Christmas that way I get them when they are still excited lol . instead of tired of all of it and I wind up giving them the same thing that someone else has, this way if they get something like I gave them then it is them that gave the duplicate ha ha see ive got it all figured out lol BARBARB S:::::: lol how cute that if he marries again she has to be an orphan. Maybe that would work, then there would be no sharing at all that way .lol and yes sometimes the truth does hurt lol What did the doctor say about your dizzy spells yet? Concussion? Hope you are doing better and wont be but a few days till Baby will have the cast off. Take care of yourself. ‘LOVE AND HUGS GOD BLESS AND MAY YOU HAVE THE BEST GREATEST NEW YEAR YOU HAVE EVER HAD....YEA!!!2009 A BRAND NEW FRESH YEAR FOR YOU TO DO WITH WHAT YOU WANT , MAKE IT BE THE YEAR YOU WANT IT TO BE...IT IS SORT OF LIKE WHEN YOU WERE A KID AND SOMEONE HOLLERED (DO OVER) WELL YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE NOW TO DO OVER. GO FOR IT.

Happy New Year everyone. I didn't make my goal on weight loss but I did come within a pound and a half so I am not too upset. Every pound I lose brings a smile to my face. I believe I am going to lose a lot more. I even bought myself a size 8 coat. Now that is what I call faith. I would love to wear it by the end of winter but it will keep till next year. I found it at goodwill so I did listen to y'all about spending money on clothes I won't wear very long. The selection there is not very good. I keep going and checking but most of it is junk.
I got adventurous yesterday while out of the house. I knew I needed protein and could get a shake so I tried an Adkins bar and it did not agree with me at all. I was sick all the way home. I thought it would be safe to eat with 17 g protein low carb and sugar. Guess I am not ready for them yet.
DH is feeling better and has been talking about buying a new car. I guess the health scare made him think about things and he needs to treat himself but he says I will be the one driving it.We were looking yesterday KAREN I may not have the big car Sunday, we might need the van.
I wish everyone health happiness and prosperity for the new year.

Happiest of New Years to everyone! 
What a crazy holiday season! We had so much going on with family and parties and friends visiting from out of state. After Christmas I just fell apart. I was so tired I felt like I could sleep for days. It was strange since I had felt so good with lots of energy but then boom, nothing. I wrote the NUT Abby( I wonder if they hate us calling them that? ha) in Columbia and asked what I should do, she said up the protein and get lots of h2o and rest. She said I could be having a delayed response to the surgery and my body is saying what in the heck has she done to me. So that's what I've been doing and I'm feeling much better. On official weigh day I lost 2.8 lbs which brings my total to -64lbs. WoooHooo! I'm so happy about this. We had some friends over last night and they said do you even realize how different you look? NO, I think I feel better but look different I hadn't really thought about it. Maybe because I see myself everyday. 3 mo surgiversary is comming up and I will post some new pics. Check out the orange julius protien smoothie I posted that my mom came up with. Yummy! I hope everyone has a wonderful day! WOoooooooooOoHoOOOOOo 2009'

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!
Hi Aunt Jan and OH Peeps-
How is everyone doing this first day of 2009? I hope this post finds all of my friends and family on here doing well.
We had fun last night, we did our taco bar late-I made too much mix and had to quick like make more meat-it was like soup there for awhile-I dont know what I was thinking....LOL...then we played guitar hero! How cute little Jon was playing that. We werent sure he would be doing anything at all. He had been laying around saying he just didnt feel good most of the day. He did manage to play a couple of songs on guitar hero and then laid down on the pit sofa between all of us and fell fast asleep. Anyway, I may have a future guitar player on my hands! Mike said we should buy the drum set and the microphone for the game too...Im not quite sure Im ready for the drums yet-but told him that maybe after I get the house all organized, we can get it and set it up in the kids' room-the den/family room. Will see.
Steph got to get off work at 10 last night, but opted to see if her lousy b-friend was going to attempt to see her since she didnt have to work till 4 am. I was so disappointed, but it is what it is. Just hard to watch her get her hopes up! That jerk didnt even try to get her anything for her for Christmas and just takes such advantage of her-I wish she would dump that jerk and move on to someone *****ally cares about her and not her money or her belongings. I flat out told her that she better not give him the stuff I gave her for Christmas, because he got her last mp3 player, so I replaced that for Christmas-but told her that me and mr. Spencer would be having a not so nice little chat if he hinted for this stuff. NO WAY! Let him get off his lazy A** and get for himself! Ok better change this subject before I get angry.
Not sure we have any BIG plans today.....actually, glad we dont. I think we are just gonna hang out and bond again today-we have been good at that lately. Enjoying the heck out of it actually. Aaron had to be to work at 10 am, so Megan is hanging out with us for the whole day. Thats going to be nice. Her belly is so cute-sticking way out there, for sure! Altho she is so uncomfortable, I love seeing her belly and feeling kenzie kick! Or you can see her moving like crazy in there...its just awesome to watch, I never get sick of that!! Last night, she had her little foot right there sticking out-it was AWESOME-you could so tell that it was her little foot-and as soon as her nana was touching it-she kicked her momma and then moved...LOL....She better get used to it-Im sure I will be touching those little toes when she gets here! LOL
I got some of the neatest stuff at the White Elephant/Dirty Santa game we played with Mikes family on Saturday! Im excited. I actually got a box of brand new stuff that I will be able to use for gifts next Christmas! One of the things, for instance, was a towel that on one side says face and then on the other side says butt....then there is a bar of soap too....all still in packages-so that was cool. The whole box. So, I have it in a tote and I put a paper on it saying Christmas 2009. So I wont forget! LOL....
Well, I need to wrap this up and get some more pictures sent out. I sent out 6 yesterday and it took me an hour to get those sent out! YIKES....and I only have about 30-40 more....so, I am going to be choosey about those and just send out the bestest of the best since it takes me so long. If I dont have your email address and you would like pics-let me know and I will get em sent to you.
**Jan-so towards the end of this month you will be leaving? Have any ideas when?
Glad you lost those #s. I know that it was bothering you, although, I couldnt tell you had put on a pound! Your beautiful, no matter what you think!
Is your pain better today? I hope so! Any big plans today? I hope its not as cold and windy here as it was yesterday. It was sunny out, but the wind was colder than cold and it was really deceiving. We were going to go for a walk, but I opted out of it because of the cold wind and chill. So, hoping for it to be a little nicer today so I can walk. Love you and Joe!
**Susan-I cant read your posts when you use pink for your color. For some reason, my computer doesnt want to pick it up-its so light that it just blends in with the back ground......Im sorry. I WANT to see what your saying, but the past couple of times its been too light and I cant see it.....Can you use a different color so I can keep up on whats going on with you and Andy too? LOL (please with my head bowed and bottom lip quivering?) Love ya and hope you and Andy have a wonderful day!
Deb (pooh)-Im sorry about your PCP appt. Darn it. I think, my friend, you should try and find a PCP that WILL listen to you. You need that! CONGRATS on the weight loss so far!! YAY YAY YAY YAY!!! And, yes, those next 6# are going to seem like an eternity, if your anything like me, because I really didnt EVER remember being in ONELANDER and I wanted it soooo badly. I remember telling my surgeon and the nurse that I would never see onelander....and she said-yes, Janet, you WILL...and I was like NO...Im not even going there and the day my scale said 198....I bawled like a little baby-all day long. I text, I sent emails-I called people. It was such a major event in my life-you WILL get there too!!! Im excited for you. I really hope and pray to get up that way this spring/summer and hang out for a day or two with Bec-and YOU....I cannot wait to meet you-we will also have to figure out who else lives that way-so we can meet more of our peeps. Maybe, if its nice when we come up-we can all meet at a park and do a picnic or something? That would be fun......
I wouldnt let Nikki go hon, if she doesnt want to-who gives a crap what the womb got her gift wise-you know Nikki doesnt NEED any of her gifts and if its not in the court papers that she gets unsupervised visits-then legally your butt is covered-so morally AND legally, your covered-do your job, as her MOM...(the ONLY one she has) and let her stay where she is safe-and thats with you and Gail-you dont need us to tell you thats right! You know I have your back no matter what you do-you will make the right decision, cuz what you do-you do with Nikkis best interest at heart and thats what real mommas do......Love you and Have a wonderful New Years-you deserve it!!!
**Barbara-thats so awesome that your son lives just a couple of blocks away! Did you have a nice Christmas with your son and your grandkids? What will you be doing today? Oh, and thanks for the idea on the notebook- journal for my grand daughter. I am going to do that. I am looking for the perfect notebook right now! Those boxes that Renee got from Larry are going to be awesome to put little trinkets and stuff that we get for our little gals. Little clippings from the paper-kind of like a time capsule-Loved the idea and thank you for that. Brenda Nutt gave me her Dirty Santa gift from the COF party and it was a book that the Grandma fills out for the grandchild and I cannot wait to fill that out and I will put that in her box too. She can either have the stuff when she is old enough to appreciate it (really appreciate it) OR when I am gone...whatever comes first. Have a good day and glad you and Baby are good. Love ya!
**Peggy-Yeah, your here-It was a good thing you got in and posted. I was ready to send out the search party and put a bounty on your head! I was gonna have them do something to you, something bad-LOL....No, I wanna kick your little butt myself. I sure will get with you when I know for sure that I am coming that way. Im thinking that I would like to see all of you. Maybe Barbara and Cor too-is she around there? I have forgotten who all lives that close. I know Deb D does.....and you and then Barbara-but not sure of who else.
I know about the other family-what irritates me-is that since Megan has been with Aaron-WE have ALWAYS arranged OUR day or family stuff AROUND them, but you know what? They will change it 4-5 times in a couple weeks time OR they will wait until the 2 days or day before, say, Thanksgiving-and expect us to change our plans once again. Trust me, after the first 2 holidays that we arranged and rearranged all our times, I stopped trying to accomodate them. My family isnt as big as theirs-so I tried to be nice, but its just that these people dont have their crap together! Like last night, they waited until 5 pm to call and invite the kids for New Years Eve! Megan said-We already have plans and I am already at my moms-and Aarons mom said-well, you better call Andy (Aarons brother) and tell him that your not gonna make it....Megan said-Well, I never talked to him about it at all and I am already at my moms-so why do I need to call him? They called her back 2 more times to MAKE SURE she wasnt going to be there! ARGH!
I hope your back to stay now-have missed your posts! Love you and hope you have a great New Years Day!
**Bec-I am emailing you today....please be watching for it. I love you and I hope you have the best New Years Day ever! You deserve it, dear friend and I love ya much-o as our dear, dear, Jan would say!
**Cor-Ok, Im not sure if I should be offended or not, when you text me and said I have changed a lot from my avatar pics.....Hmmmmm....LOL... This avatar pic is from Oct 07'-and yes, I know I need to get a new avatar on here. Maybe I can get Renee to do that for me with one of the pics from the Christmas Party-altho I did have that Santa helper hat on and not sure I want that in my pic-LOL....Hope all is well with you. Love ya!
**Renee-Hope you had fun in Springfield yesterday with the gang! I wish the item your waiting for would get there so things would be normal and you can get here and hang out.....I want some sister time!!! Jon would LOVE for auntie Renee to roll pennies-he has been saving all his coins again for that when you get here!
I will know on Friday when the last ultrasound will be and will let you know. Megan cant wait for you to come too! We have 49 days before our little bundle is due to get here!! WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! I cannot wait!
**Sheila-where are you? What are you doing? You okay? What did you do last night and what are your plans for today? Are the kids getting their heads out of their butts? I hope so girl. Love ya and have a good day!
**Sandy, Deb D, Sugar, Marilyn, Lynette, Tammy V, Tammy H, Vesta, Angie and ALL our other peeps-Im sorry, I KNOW there are more names and I am being forgetful... but I love you guys and hope and pray you have a wonderful day!!! Love and prayers to all-Janet

Maybe, if its nice when we come up-we can all meet at a park and do a picnic or something? That would be fun......
I wouldnt let Nikki go hon, if she doesnt want to-who gives a crap what the womb got her gift wise-you know Nikki doesnt NEED any of her gifts and if its not in the court papers that she gets unsupervised visits-then legally your butt is covered-so morally AND legally, your covered-do your job, as her MOM...(the ONLY one she has) and let her stay where she is safe-and thats with you and Gail-you dont need us to tell you thats right! You know I have your back no matter what you do-you will make the right decision, cuz what you do-you do with Nikkis best interest at heart and thats what real mommas do......Love you and Have a wonderful New Years-you deserve it!!!
**Barbara-thats so awesome that your son lives just a couple of blocks away! Did you have a nice Christmas with your son and your grandkids? What will you be doing today? Oh, and thanks for the idea on the notebook- journal for my grand daughter. I am going to do that. I am looking for the perfect notebook right now! Those boxes that Renee got from Larry are going to be awesome to put little trinkets and stuff that we get for our little gals. Little clippings from the paper-kind of like a time capsule-Loved the idea and thank you for that. Brenda Nutt gave me her Dirty Santa gift from the COF party and it was a book that the Grandma fills out for the grandchild and I cannot wait to fill that out and I will put that in her box too. She can either have the stuff when she is old enough to appreciate it (really appreciate it) OR when I am gone...whatever comes first. Have a good day and glad you and Baby are good. Love ya!
**Peggy-Yeah, your here-It was a good thing you got in and posted. I was ready to send out the search party and put a bounty on your head! I was gonna have them do something to you, something bad-LOL....No, I wanna kick your little butt myself. I sure will get with you when I know for sure that I am coming that way. Im thinking that I would like to see all of you. Maybe Barbara and Cor too-is she around there? I have forgotten who all lives that close. I know Deb D does.....and you and then Barbara-but not sure of who else.
I know about the other family-what irritates me-is that since Megan has been with Aaron-WE have ALWAYS arranged OUR day or family stuff AROUND them, but you know what? They will change it 4-5 times in a couple weeks time OR they will wait until the 2 days or day before, say, Thanksgiving-and expect us to change our plans once again. Trust me, after the first 2 holidays that we arranged and rearranged all our times, I stopped trying to accomodate them. My family isnt as big as theirs-so I tried to be nice, but its just that these people dont have their crap together! Like last night, they waited until 5 pm to call and invite the kids for New Years Eve! Megan said-We already have plans and I am already at my moms-and Aarons mom said-well, you better call Andy (Aarons brother) and tell him that your not gonna make it....Megan said-Well, I never talked to him about it at all and I am already at my moms-so why do I need to call him? They called her back 2 more times to MAKE SURE she wasnt going to be there! ARGH!
I hope your back to stay now-have missed your posts! Love you and hope you have a great New Years Day!
**Bec-I am emailing you today....please be watching for it. I love you and I hope you have the best New Years Day ever! You deserve it, dear friend and I love ya much-o as our dear, dear, Jan would say!
**Cor-Ok, Im not sure if I should be offended or not, when you text me and said I have changed a lot from my avatar pics.....Hmmmmm....LOL... This avatar pic is from Oct 07'-and yes, I know I need to get a new avatar on here. Maybe I can get Renee to do that for me with one of the pics from the Christmas Party-altho I did have that Santa helper hat on and not sure I want that in my pic-LOL....Hope all is well with you. Love ya!
**Renee-Hope you had fun in Springfield yesterday with the gang! I wish the item your waiting for would get there so things would be normal and you can get here and hang out.....I want some sister time!!! Jon would LOVE for auntie Renee to roll pennies-he has been saving all his coins again for that when you get here!
I will know on Friday when the last ultrasound will be and will let you know. Megan cant wait for you to come too! We have 49 days before our little bundle is due to get here!! WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! I cannot wait!
**Sheila-where are you? What are you doing? You okay? What did you do last night and what are your plans for today? Are the kids getting their heads out of their butts? I hope so girl. Love ya and have a good day!
