Good morning!

Good morning to all!

This is attempt number 2 at writing this.  I accidently hit a button on the keyboard that wiped out my entire post.  Maybe that's Someone's way of telling me I "talk" too much! LOL!

I go see the surgeon this morning; I want this hernia taken care of.  Don's mom says they won't take care of them until they are "ready" but I don't know what that means.  What I do know is the my guts have come of place, they are making me look pregnant, they hurt when I laugh, sneeze, cough, blow my nose or go to the bathroom.  I am "ready" to have this taken care of and I am going to be as persistent about it as I can be without ******g off the surgeon.  When my hubby gets his bonus money in the fall, I'm getting new boobs.  I have never had full, firm breasts before and am really looking forward to it.  When I first thought about having WLS I asked myself one question. "Do you want to leave things as they are and live with it or be 50 and fabulous?"  I opted for 50 and fabulous.  I weighed in yesterday at 166.4; today I am 169.8.  I hate being constipated.

I got the "approval" from my hubby to go to the retreat in June!! I am very excited about this trip.  I'm not shy about driving alone.  He already plotted my route out on the Mapquest and I will have reservations for hotels on the way.  It's a 22 hour drive for me and I'll split that into two days.  I am going to rent a car and be on my way. I've never been to Colorado before so this will be an adventure in more ways than one.  Don is actually going to let me use the video camera.  It was kind of funny; the first question out of his mouth was how many men were going to be there.  When I told him I thought maybe a few if at all, he was okay with it. I love my husband and my mom and even Harley T. Cat, but I'm really looking forward to some Colleen time which I don't get too often.

So that's all for me for today.  Kathy and Patrece I hope you are both having a great visit!

Colleen

Hey Lady! I hope your visit with the doc went well for you. It sounds like your hernia repair is beyond ready! Over due..

It is so AWESOME to hear you will be coming to the retreat! I look forward to seeing you at it! WOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!! Tell your hubby he is a great sport. You will LOVE Colorado. It is much different in Colorado, but beautiful. Especiaslly in the mountains. You are gonna love it!

You are also gonna love your new "boobs!" Just be sure to get GOOD bra's to keep them where you want them, and comfy sports bra's for at night. You must protect your investment..lol!!

Hugs to you. Great to hear from you. We are having a great time, but it has flown by wayyyyy tooo fast.

Good Morning Colleen, Patrece and I are watching the workers move dirt about and remove the old cement slab.  Love working, could watch it for hours on end.  lol

Well, I didn't get my reply posted this morning.  The day got busy and it is evening already.  I watched cement harden for a bit today and ran errands with Patrece.  I am glad she is here to share part of my vacation time.

Sounds like you have some surgery planned.  Congrats on the successful losing.  Please stop back and share again soon.  Hugs
