***Thursday Roll Call***
Good morning PA friends...
I really liked starting roll call last week that one day, because I got everyone's posts to my email. It was very convenient.
I am at wor****il 6am. Good night so far. I am saying nothing else for fear of being jinxed. Home to get a little sleep in the morning and then some projects for the afternoon before I go back in for another night on the ambulance. I need to get out and get the needed items for the Stuffed Eggplant if I'm going to make it for Liz's on Saturday, but that will likely wait for Friday afternoon. After tomorrow's night shift, I don't work anywhere until next Tuesday. Loving that, especially with the beautiful weather we are having.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Good morning Eric - it is nice to get those notifications that people are commenting - especially for people like us....you know....the ones who like to be center of attention.....Oh - mean you - NOT me! :)
Last night was wonderful. As I always do I got sooo much out of the support group meeting. I loved hearing the others surgiversary stories and I hope people enjoyed mine. It was fun for me toput together and I really needed to look back on the progres I made over the last year becuase like so many others, I get stuck in the self-hating part of this journey. The emotional ups and downs are tough, but it is nice to know that it is at the least normal and DOES change over time! Now - if I only had patience!
Today should be another jampacked day in my life - school until 3:15, home for the homework dance, ENT at 5:00 for my quarterly check-up, get to Girl Scouts for Molly's investature, then to dance practice for me. Larry is back to work tonight for 5 straight - so looks like some facebook time and reading before I go to sleep!
I hope you all have a nice Thursday!

Beth - thank you for those words - I feel really good today based on the way you all made me feel last night. I have learned sooooo much from all of you and really feel so lucky to have had the added bonus of this journey to have met you and the others. I knew that I would lose weight, I didn't know that I would gain so many friends! Love you too! :) Keep smiling and doing what you are doing - thanks for the inspirations!!!! :)
Good Morning All.
Eric - I forget was there meat in your eggplant dish? Can't wait to try it!
I am at wor****il 4 today. Feeling a little blah. I don't think that baby likes getting up at 5:30am lol (shhh but neither does this Momma!). After work I have my chiro appt. I need to discuss the actually labor and delivery of this pregnancy with her today and see if she has any concerns I should bring up with the OB next week. I am getting nervous thay my back is going to cause me problems, especially with pushing and possibly getting the epidural. After the chiro I might grocery shop, we'll see how I feel this afternoon.
Have a good day all and enjoy this gorgeous weather!

Good Morning Everyone !
Eric - stuffed eggplant sounds yummy. Hopefully you'll share your recipe after cooking class.
Today has me at wor****il 3:30 and then it is off to the gym. After that, I may make a quick run to the mall. Now that it getting warmer, I'm having a problem finding things to wear. I've been striking out at the thrift stores, so I think I'll actually have to put out some dough for a couple of outfits. I may do a little outlet shopping this weekend. A friend gave me a 30% off coupon for The Gap outlet. I may be able to find something there.
Last night, my boyfriend surprised me with suggesting that we go out to a local bar after dinner to listen to his friend's band. They are a Celtic group and they were great. The bar had the whole place decked out in St.Patty's Day decorations and I got a kick ou****ching the trays of green beer going by. I did try some light beer. I've had wine, but no beer due to the carbonation, but I thought I would give it a try. Well, the beer from the tap was sort of on the flat-ish side, so I had no problems as long as I sipped slowly. However, I drank half (maybe about 6 ounces) and gave the rest to my boyfriend - it really wasn't doing much for me. It was nice to be out socializing though without having to drink plain water. I'll give the experience a thumbs up, but will definitely be limiting drinking to special occasions.
Hope everyone has a super day !

Good morning Eric and everyone - its nice to see a guy starting the daily thread, Eric - keep up the good work! I saw Rachel Ray make a stuffed eggplant on her show one day - it was actually a healthy recipe and looked great. Is that the one you're making?
I'm at work today loving this beautiful weather we're having - been walking every night trying to go a little further each night - my exercise has been so OFF since the holidays mostly due to taking care of mom and everything and I'm really trying to get back in the groove because I am definitely feeling the effects of not working out and I don't like it. I'm sluggish and grouchy - not a good combination. Going to have hubby check my bike tires this weekend - I know the front one needs air and hopefully can start riding again.
Tonight I am going to my old hairdresser for color and cut - haven't seen her in ages and am glad to be going back to her. Had been hopping around from one hairdresser after another but none does as good a job as she did and my hair is suffering for it.
And that's about it for my exciting day! But we are heading to our friends at the beach this weekend and I can't wait for that - its supposed to be beautiful down there, too!!

Good morning Eric.. well, you're probably home sleeping now. Hope your night stayed as uneventful as it was when you posted.
Today has me recovering from boot camp class last night. OMG, I was so proud of myself for keeping up with her and I'm not as sore as I thought I would be.
I'm working today, as usual. I didn't start until 6:15 today, though. Yesterday, I ended up working about 14 hours trying to finish something up that needed to be done by last night. At least I work from home and was able to take a break to go get Siehara and go over to the gym.
During the day today, a glass company is coming to replace my windshield. A branch or something must have fallen on it on Saturday because there is a crack from the driver's side all the way over to the passenger side.
After work, I am going to relax for a bit and then go pick up Siehara from dance. I am not sure if I will hit bingo tonight or not. I have to get in touch with the babysitter.
Hope everyone has a great day! Enjoy this fab weather!!! I think I am going to do my lunchtime walk again.. it is SOOOO beautiful!
