Ok so this could be happy Valentines day exppress, happy Veneral Disease day, Happy Vday (dropping bombs) etc... can you tell im on no sleep  here lol.   whatever else you can think of here lol. 
I think its pretty evident im not in the valentine spirit this year lol. For those that are in the Cupid spirit, good luck! Hope your significant other got the hints im sure you have been dropping lately and got the right present lol. 

I personally have been wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off program/track lately so im trying to get back to the basics starting with protein shakes, water water water, etc.  Im cleared to exercise (which i hate lol) so time to make myself get out and walk the kids again.  Im sooooo disgusted with myself that after almost 6 years our im having to start right back at the beginning... grrrrrr. 

oh well, im thankfully for the fact that i have the opportunity to start again and turn this bus (my big butt) around!.  So... whats everyone got planned for today? don't forget to move that booty!!!

Good morning, my TMB family!

Happy Valentine's Day, to All..cuz Veneral Day just doesn't have quite the same ring to it (sorry, LIZ !)

Starting my day in Granbury today, doing patient visits, while re-orienting a part time nurse, who is ummm....really old....and talk too much..and doesn't listen enough..and been off work about 6 months...may make for a long morning...but I will smile and play nice, cuz we need her, and she's a very, very sweet person...

I think Richard and I have been together too long. For V-Day and our upcoming anniversary (Sunday) we got each other a Rug Doctor and bedroom suite...flowers die and I'm allergic to candy (it makes me break out in FAT)...so I asked for ROMANTIC stuff-nothing says LOVE like a carpet cleaner and some furniture!

Not too much else going on around here..getting ready to help my boss/friend/office mate(Paulette-all the same person)-with the cakes for her son's wedding this Saturday. The wedding is being is being held at a skating rink..yep...skating rink...I can't make this stuff up, peeps...It's the 2nd marriage for both, and they both have 2 small sons each, and wanted something "fun for everyone"...ummm...okay...Paulette is mortified...the bride's cake is fairly plain/traditional..the groom cake is some sort "ding dong" monstosity, with a motorcycle climbing up it. I'll spend the whole day with Paulette, and I know WE will have fun, whether anyone else does or not!!

I hope everyone has a great day. Please do be sad if Cupid's arrow is not hitting you in the butt this year. You ARE loved, no matter what...

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT !

Haven't said that in awhile...it felt good !

Good morning! It is Valentines Day and I am wide awake mainly because our lovely dog peed on me. Yep- lovely Snickers. Every morning we have a battle- Snickers doesn't want to go outside and he has to. So I thought I outsmarted him by blocking his normal entrance under the couch-which is where he hides. He realized he had no where to go so he laid down and turned over so I could pet him. When I did he peed on me. I am not sure if it was intentional, but he's outside and I've had a nice long scrub. lol.

Its just me and Chris today. Bryan is in New York. Chris has a counseling appt at 6. Bryan and I went out Sat night and I had a wonderful steak and a great big margarita so its all good. We have a training from 8-11am and since its Valentines Day I bought a bunch of candy and decorations. We have a luncheon. I'm bringing a salad so I need to go open the packages and toss it. I made some sugar cinammon pecans last night to go in it. Not hard but time intensive.

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Good morning! I'm ready for a Valentines Day full of ARD meetings all day. What more could a girl ask for. I am making myself a nice dinner that is healthy and tasty. I guess the dog and I will celebrate together since the husband and son are off working and going to school. I did buy Ben some guy shower stuff and a pair of his favorite brand of flip flops that aren't easy to find.

I hear you Liz on the regain. I'm glad I have been working to take mine off. Slowly but surely I fight that battle. It will come off. I'm so glad I have the support of a regain/ maintenance board. It has a lot to do with being successful.

Hope everyone has a good day!

 Morning Liz and TMB Family,

Happy Valentines Day......I got my hubby a cord of wood yesterday for his chiminea for Valentines Day.   Not sure if he will do anything for me or not.     My hubby....a TRUE romantic.  LOL NOT !!!!   Oh well....I am trying to get well without very much success.     I have had a really bad sinus infection since last monday.    It has NOT been fun.   Especially since I had a severe asthma attack on friday night and my inhaler had expired over a year and a half ago.    Yesterday I had a new one called in for me.    I had about 4 hours sleep due to waking up coughing and not being able to breathe.    I am suppose to go to San Antonio and see my son friday and saturday.   I have contemplated canceling the trip but I know he is looking forward to seeing me.   Oh well.....Hopefully the 4 prescriptions I am on will have me well by then.     Have a great Valentines day everyone and hope your sweetie rememebers you.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

Good morning,

Happy Valentines Day!  Hubby and I don't buy each other gifts anymore and we avoid the restaurants so it will be dinner at home. 

Work is all I really have planned today.  I need to start unpacking but the dryer is not working and the repairman can't come till tomorrow so dirty clothes will stay in the suitcase till then. 


Viv, hope you start to feeling better soon.

Have a great day!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE !!       OMG - I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD THIS MORNING AT EVERYONE'S POSTS - MY CO-WORKERS ARE LOOKING AT ME LIKE i'M CRAZY - well - you all know better....... 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO EVERYONE......

DON'T TOUCH MY CHOCOLATE - I'VE HAD MY KISSES/ALLOWANCES for the day .......and the sad thing is -   Its Valentines Day and for once....I'm not miserably drowning in my own sorrow - I love Valentines Day - I love the meaning of it.........but I've never felt it .....so like usual - another V-day  ALONE !!  But I'm getter better at this.
I love seeing everyone get flowers at work from their hubbys........NOT - but it is such a sweet moment for them........how can I knock that down? 

Liz  / Alissa -  I'm right there with ya -  after today...........protein shakes and meats for me besides - gotta get this protein up or I'm doomed for Thursdays Surgery - and I won't heal as fast as I want too...........I can submerged for a few weeks in a tub or swimming as I will be doing on the weekends with indoor pools, for excercise and things....but Ive got to do something.   Don't have time for the WW thing......WAY too much homework there but I may get involved and find more local friends to group walk with or something.....if nothing else - cuz some of you all are not real close to meet up with  for 30 min or so each day if ya know what I mean.

Not much else going on in my world
Friend 1  4 hours away - said hello to me this am already...nice..
The "Prince" is in Phoenix on business this week - so he's a  little side tracked...lol

gotta get back to work !!   
  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Off today so no complaints here this morning!  Could use some warm dry air but I'll still get out and walk this afternoon.  Have to do something to ward off the regain from all the VD candy (not all SF) in the house.

Not going out to eat either.  Can grill a steak at home much easier than fighting the crowds to get one. 

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
