Wooohooo it is Friday! I will be participating in the Walk From Obesity event in Baton Rouge tomorrow. I am super excited about meeting new OH'ers and resuming my exercising habits. Have a good weekend everyone!
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
Good morning train riders...gonna catch the early train since I'm off today. I had to have my wedding ring re-sized again (from an 8 to a 6) so I need to run to the jeweler's to pick it up. I had my labs drawn 3 weeks ago and haven't seen the results so I need to run by the doctor's office and get copies so I can complete my spreadsheet.
Today is my Mom's 88th birthday. She flew into Houston last night as did my sister and BIL from New Jersey and we're all meeting in Willis (near Conroe) for a big birthday bash tomorrow. I have not seen my sister from NJ in YEARS and so she hasn't seen me since I've had my WLS. She's seen pictures, of course, so it won't be a real shock. My Mom has only seen me once and I believe that was before I had plastics. But it's HER special day, so the focus will definately be on her and not me.
As a lot of you read on FB, my darling daughter is trying my patience. I had stupidly told her if "Mr Wonderful" ever got a job and could hold on to it, they could live together. Well, she jumped in the car, drove to Tulsa, picked him up and he has been living with her for the past 2 weeks!! Luckily, he already found a job (working for Josten's in Denton) and starts Monday. Good news is, he'll be working 2nd shift so hopefully she can study in the evening. Bad news is, he has no car. So I'm not sure how he's going to get to work and back cuz he can't drive her's due to no insurance. He says another guy in her apt complex got him the job and works the same shift and he's gonna ride with him. Not so sure if that's the truth or not. Anyway, a few prayers for my sanity would be appreciated. Hubby is really pissed over the whole situation. My feeling is, he ain't gonna go away (they've been together since she was 14) so we might as well try to help him be a productive member of society.
Sorry for the rant and long post...if you made it this far, know I love you and hope you have a fantastic weekend.

RNY revision from lapband 7/30/07...TT/BL 10/9/08 and at GOAL
! I have a few relatives in Willis/Conroe area. 
This weekend will be busy busy busy. Tomorrow morning is the Collin County IKEA meeting, then I've got a baby shower for my SIL at 11:30. We'll be doing something with the family Sat evening, then Sunday I've got church and our annual big women's event Sunday evening. It's all going to be fun, but definitely busy. I've got to dig out my fall table decorations to take them up to church for Sunday. And somehow in all that I've got to get the regular chores done. Definitely not enough hours in the day.
Hope everyone has a great day!

I don't have anything out of the ordinary going on this weekend. Am meeting a friend for coffee tomorrow and then hope to work on a little packing. I'm hoping to have most of the packing done by the wedding so I don't have to worry about packing, Christmas, and the wedding all at the same time. Sunday, will go to church. Am hoping a friend I've asked will go with me, so will probably have lunch afterwards if she does go. Then will go have my weekly visit with my grandparents - the most wonderful grandparents in the whole world !!
I'm a little sad today, though. Missing my Richard...although I will be seeing him next weekend and need to count my blessings. He could be going away for months or more like some your husbands / sons. Also worried about my precious cat, Zoe Elizabeth. She's started peeing on my purses again. Two days ago, she peed on another one. It really hurts me that she's upset and anxious again. I know it's from my going to Dallas and leaving her, but I feel like I'm in a bind. I don't think I can tell my fiance that I can't come see him because it stresses out my cat, but, at the same time, Zoe Elizabeth is my baby and my heart, and it's killing me that I'm upsetting her. May be time to go back and see her psychiatrist again. )-:
Hope all of you have a great Friday and weekend !!

Good morning everyone,
Well, why am I so chipper when I sent my baby away yesterday? Well, I didn't actually send him away. When they did his medical yesterday, his weight was ok, but his temp was too high. It was 100 and they won't let them go if it's over 99.5. He was feeling fine, no other symptoms, but that's policy. I spent yesterday taking him to a doc to verify that he didn't have flu (negative) or anything else contagious (negative). The doc put him on antibiotic z-pack just to be safe and we go back on Sunday for final clearance and he will get to go to bootcamp Monday instead. So just a few days delay and I get some extra time. I have him here with me today, he spent the night, I set him up with email and facebook. LOL. Just some Mom and Matt time with Josh. I figure it's all in God's plan. And I have the best husband on the planet. When I mentioned Josh staying with us, there was no question. He was right on board with it and even insisted on it. Matt is the bestest.
Saying prayers for all of you. Have a great day everyone.
Just not in the best mood these days...
Debbi - again, my apologies for jumping down your throat the other day thru text.Thank you for being my friend and understanding.
Love to all, will check in later
