Hi Aime and Everyone! Glad to see you feeling better Aime.  Interesting story on the antibiotic.  Thanks so much for sharing.  Hard to believe the baby is 4 months old already.  Time does fly.

Annette, Lindsay is a girl after my own heart.  I love jewelry, too.

Isn't it fun to see Joan and Joyce having such a good time visiting? 

Busy day for me today as It's a partial day in the office and I have my required nutrition class -- one more step to surgery.  Hubby saw the Cardiologist yesterday and is scheduled for angiogram tomorrow morning.  They will do whatever repair they can do once diagnosis is determined.  It's a very good thing because I hope it can fix the immobility he now deals with.  Here's hoping it improves the shortness of breath and he can be active once again.  I have every confidence that things will be better and he's fine with all this, too.    I have all the errands run already in preparation for a quiet weekend at home for him.  As long as they don't have to do bypass, he'll be home Friday night and it will all be good. Have a great Thursday! Kathi

Thanks! Organizing is my way of coping!  LOL  It's all I have "control" of right now.  Now, if Annie and Tevia need a place to honeymoon.......  send them my way and I'll take them to Disneyland!  I'm allergic to cats but I would do it... Hugs, Kathi

Good morning to all of my OFF family. I hope that you all have a wonderful and spring day. So far so good here. Bill just got a call from one of the men that he works with and his father passed away last night. I guess his mother is getting ready to pass any time too. I feel bad for him since he lost his sister just a few months ago. He seems like a nice guy even though I haven't met him yet.  Today is looking like a wonderful spring day. I am afraid to think that spring might be here. I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Dare I hope? Nothing much is going on here today. Just another boring day in the neighborhood. I should go to the store and get some things. Not much since I just got some things a bit ago. It seems like we either have feast or famine around here. It just depends on my mood to shop for groceries. I should go to WalMart and get some of the everyday things we need like body wash and stuff like that. I think I need some new nail polish too. I think that is a necessity too don't you think? And maybe a new pair of shoes too. I was wearing this black pair for everyday and now I lost weight in my feet and so when I wear them my feet slide all over in them and they start to hurt. I told Bill they are otta here!!!!  The pharmacist called me last night and told me that she ordered the liquid potassium for me. She strongly suggested that I get it flavored and she thought that the grape would be the best since it was the strongest flavoring. I hate grape but something tells me that I would hate the potassium worse so grape it is. That is going to be coming in today so we shall find out soon. I am not sure how much I have to take or how often. I know the pill was 1,080 mg. and I was to take 3 a day so I am hoping the liquid is stonger or something so I don't have to take as much.  I hope that all of my sisters and brothers have a wonderful and blessed day. I will check in later on today since I HAVE to know what is going on in my family. Love and hugs to all of my OFF'ers.

Good Morning Aime and Friends,

I got busy yesterday and never made it back here! Mike is cuddling Clara and Hannah. He's not much for traveling but it sounds like he's found his Heaven on Earth. It's not Iowa. . . . It's Chehalis, WA! He left Monday was coming back today but he's "needed" there today so won't be home til tomorrow. I think we'll probably be taking turns every few weeks this spring and summer. One of us needs to be here to supervise home sale and new home construction.  Teasing, he told me he put money down on a house just a few doors away from Josh and Erin.  We both hate the rainy, dreary west side weather, but those little girls bring sunshine to the darkest skies!

Yesterday I mowed the lawn, played outside with the puppies, attempted to patch and paint nail holes. Didn't match very well and I don't want to paint the whole room so I'll keep working on the color. I'm getting close.

Today I have a lunch date with other retired teachers from the school we both taught at. May get in that movie that I haven't found time for all week.

My heart goes out to Darlene. So many of us have been in the position of having to persuade an elderly parent to give up driving.  It's so hard, but so tragic when something like this happens.

To all of you have a wonderful day. I'm trying to treat myself well this week. No more Girl Scout cookies for me! Take care, Karen C ****Edit: Almost forgot! The wee ones were 4 weeks old yesterday. Under 4 lbs and just over 4 lbs and 17 inches at birth. . . . TADA! Both are now right a 6 lbs and over 19 inches long. I'd say that's pretty good for 4 weeks wouldn't you?

Good afternoon Aime and Friends! Aime, glad you're feeling better.  Wow LP is 4 months already!  On one of my errands this morning, a woman was in the store with a baby in a carrier.  I asked how old he was - 4 months, but what a bruiser.  She said he weighed over 9 lbs at birth and is trying to stand, but not interested in getting on his hands and knees.  I so wanted to tickly those hammy thighs and kiss those chubby cheeks.  Ethan has grown up so fast.  He'll be 5 in July - seems like yesterday he was toddling around, now he runs everywhere. Ethan called last night to tell us all about his fishing trip on Tuesday with his dad.  He caught two fish all by himself, a bass and a perch! Well, I'm going to make the most of my last few days of freedom before I have to face that orge I work with. Hugs all around! Debbie

Hi Everyone, I'm busy at work the last couple of days, that being said I just want to say a big thanks for all your kind responses yesterday to my post.   I had my WLS support group meeting last night and it was a really good meeting, with the topic, one I suggested on the emotional aspect of having had WLS. . .  I'll check in tomorrow if I can, as I have my PT at the gym in the a.m. and going to see Tony afterwards, friends in the evening. . . Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts all, have to go back to work now. . .     The nerve of these people, thinking I have to work when I come into this place ! Laureen


My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen
