Friday Morning Coffee Talk

Good FRIDAY morning Guys! The weekend is almost here! Got big plans? We do! We will be partying all weekend! Torey, his great Aunt Amenda (Joie's aunt) and Donna (Joie's baby sister) all have birthdays the same week so we are having them a HUGE birthday party tomorrow. Then on Sunday evening, I'm having Torey a SURPRISE 18th Birthday party. I'm so proud of him! What an awesome Son I have! I hope you enjoy your weekend! Our challenge today is to retrain the brain! Retrain your way of thinking. We had WLS to succeed and our brains have to be "retrained" in order to succeed. I remember "right" after having WLS, I had FRIED CHICKEN on the brain. I wanted a fried chicken breast SO BADLY that I ran out and bought one. I sat down to eat it and was talking away while eating not even in the mind frame that I JUST (a few days) had WLS. I began to eat that chicken and it made me so sick. It was a LONG time before I wanted chicken again. Sometimes we focus on things so hard we loose thought. Retrain your brain. You can do this! (this could fit in life as well, not only WLS)!!! So, who's up? What cha sipping on? Me? More Casi Cielo from Starbuck's. I'm so glad I bought a bag of this BOLD coffee! It sure is good! I hope you have a blessed and wonderful weekend!

Good morning Randall (and guys), It's cool and rainy here in Northern California, a last respite before the furnace days I suspect. I'm sippin' a half-caf combo of Peet's Major Dickenson and House Decaf blends, my preferred coffee of the last weeks. Hope everyone has a great day and whatever kind of weekend you want.

For me the weekend has begun! We have a compressed work schedule that gives us every other Friday off. But, my photographer wife has booked jobs on all three days. So....  it's photography and babysitting for me! Sippin'? Nothing yet. I dont wanna run the coffee grinder until the house wakes up.

Randall, your new avatar is pretty awesome, it hardly looks like the same person!  Hope you are enjoying life!  Me...I finally have all my test results into my doctor's office and waiting for the call.  It's been a trip - but one that I'm glad I made, I had the time and opportunity to explore this in depth.  Peace & Joy!  BobM
