Morning gals well, here is a huge accomplishment, I worked last night and still weigh the same as yesterday and feel a little swollen. I will confess, I did go have a couple drinks with my freind from work, OMG what fun we had, but I was already swollen when I left work, so when I got home, I drank my warm lemon water, which I had to pee forever in the middle of the night but seemed to do the trick. I feel puffy but look normal so I think I got it figured out. I came home to 2 more work emails, this job is going to be fantastic but take lots of time. I'm just so happy Any Happy Bandiversary Denise & Tracy Denise, so nice to hear from you, how are the girls and the house? Pama- Oh... Poor baby, his ears sound so sore Judy - it is chilly here this mornng too, I guess summer is gone lol

Hey where is Kat, You ok? well, i'm off to talk to my neighbor to see if he can help me with a little project this week

Terry thank you for that suggestion. I only plan on taking anti nausea stuff, anything for nerves would probably land me in jail or in the hospital, they might think I'm dying. As for drink, I'm a happy drunk, give me a movie, a drink and some headphones, and i'm good to go. Maybe my ipod and a drink, but nothing that I can't function, My flights are not horribly long, 5 hr travel with 1 hr layover so I'll need to get myself to another plane. Maybe a drink in the airport so I actually get on the plane would be nice. Only kidding, I'll be there, but no jail... PROMISE

I will only need to check, it depends on when I start my job, but it looks like I'll be doing part time stuff this week, either email or work phone? and since brand new ... ya know but no work on sat or sun, and friday is travel day so will probably forward my mail to my aol account I can check on the phone this is all play.... promise

Absolutely you can check your mail. I am almost 100% sure I'm going to bring it - just for the movie, check my mail friday and when we get back to the hotel before i travel home, new job stuff

It was so cute _ I knew the tune... and it has not left my head since I read it. LOL You guys, seriously, I can't believe that I am actually getting on a plane, not once but 4 times with my layovers! I know I'll be fine but i'm so anxious. I can't wait to get there but it has been 8 years since I've flown and I had a nervous beakdown then. I get anxious, can feel my bp going up every time I think about it. I walk around telling myself to just breathe... People are starting to think I'm nuts becaue they have no idea why >>> LOL I think that is why i'm putting off packing and stuff. I don't want to bring a carry on. Can you bring a laptop on the plane to watch a movie? with some head phones... it will all be good

:biggrin2: anytime, it is very relaxing and an excuse to soak too

Judy- I made mine 2 weeks ago, I arrive in SA on the 15th, I actually need to make an appt for with my pcp so I can get some anti nausea pills, I'm so afraid of throwing up. The thing is, when i made my reservations I idn't really have the money but.... I had money so I called and they said they would not charge my card, just reserve, well, they charged it! So My trip is officially 100% paid for, and there is talk of the refunds going out a week early (on the news today) so, I'm going to go get a couple pr or short and tops to take away the weekend before and the rest is my spending money. I'm so happy I found my cowboy hat, I hate the way it looks on me, i got it when I was rounder, so maybe ya'll can help me get a new one that looks better on me. I loved that crazy thing Oh well, good excuse for a new one! Terry - can I send you a box of clothes to bring for everyone to look through? Is there a place to donate left overs if there are any?

Pam - sounds like a fun night try epson salt to soak your foot in, I swear it works, pulls infection out. That is what they told me to use for body piercings and when my belly got infected it sucked the puss out (i know tmi) but really works. it is chilly here, don't feel like doing anything today as i know I have to work my butt off later

Morning gals so strange to be so quiet here. I passed out so early last night, tosses and turned for most of it. Well i'm down 1lb, wish it was another but lost 11lbs of bloat the last few days, I do feel so much better~ It is going to be cold and rainy here all week but I guess that is ok, we are going on almost 3 weeks of no rain... so we are going to get all of our april showers in the last week.

Terry - you are so cute I'm doing this one way or the other

Will homeland security arrest me for drinking too much? I'm not looking forward to getting on the plane LOL everything else sounds like a happy dream

Judy ds is going to kindergarden! real big boy school... and dd is going to be a freshman in high school I talked to his speech therapist and she said she is glad i put so much thought into it and sure he will be fine. well, not that i was not tan enough, just went to fake n bake. I go 2 times a week but have been living outside. Going to drink my warm lemon water and get the kids dinner. I don't want to cook tonight

Holy crapola Pam - You should be sainted for dealing, I would have killed them over and over I took ds to school this am. The woman who runs the place (office manager for 20+ years) lives around the corner from me and took very good care of dd years ago. I wanted to talk to her about ds and my choices, when we got done she told me she didn't want to personally influence my choice but when I told her it was hands down for me, she said she was so happy because Dylan was one that she was just so looking forward to having there. He was born when dd was in 4th grade so they all know him from day 1. The other school changes classes and gets mixed kids and only has 17 in a class but no major changes at our school and has 22 kids. Plus size besides he will get the best care ever, our school starts at 7:45 so I can put him on the bus in the morning and he can go to aftercare right there, it is only 1/2 mile from home and the kids in his class are from our neighborhood, and most of them have older siblings who when to school with dd. Other school I would have to drive 10 miles out of my way and he would have to go to before and after care because the bus would not come until 8:50 and we would not know people the staff there and he would not be with kids from our neck of the woods. So that was my am, but descision was made. I have to sign the auth form for him to get services for speech, which by the way, our school has the best in the district, this even coming from his therapist who is a personal friend now

Judy so glad you are on again, and I'm still getting email notifications. how nice

Pam - that is horrible! Michelle and my bff say it best "mean people suck!" anyway out to do some running ... ttfn

OMG, did I just get an email notificataion of a post to our thread? Could it be? A Miracle. I so miss them Suzie - Hugs

OMG you guys, how exciting and I'm actually loosing again so I'm going to wait to get clothes the weekend before we go - I wanted to do that anyway but now it will be worth the wait. I might have a chance at least being included in our little contest too... thank goodness

Morning gals I am just so happy this am, my fill is working, I am officially back in the game and as of this am -1 from my contest weight. There is hope for me yet! Kat - I'm glad she has someone who is figuring it out so they can start treating her. I got an email this morning, I've been invited to attend a pre work meeting and they are going to have me getting stuff from vendors and making sure it is all together, this might be perfect timing for our trip

OMG Tracy - that is just too funny1

I am not really a history type person myself but will go with the flow. My dad tortured us as small children. LOL Anyway I get in on Thursday night and I'm staying here: SAN ANTONIO- INT`L AIRPORT Holiday Inn Select 77 N. E. LOOP 410 SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216 1-210-3499900 I can't really think right now my head hurts

Kat - you and your family are in my thoughts Pam - it is yucky but works, warm tap water with a couple of caps of lemon juice - Well here is my day, as I spend lots of it at the Dr. (they were way overbooked) but got my fill, I am up to 1.5, finally! It was a great visit and was even told that when I come back in July hat I can have another if i need it. Is this the same guy? Also, they told me how proud they were of me, Stats are 50% loss over a 2 year period with the band and I am there in a year. I'll take that. I met my friend Melissa who was also getting a fill today and then went to visit my friend at the bank, all was well then I walked out side and got blasted with pollen. Now, I have had nothing but a pudding to eat for breakfast and water and instant migraine! I had no gas so I had to stop, by time i got to the highway, I could not even see straight so I pulled into the drug store to get some excedrine. I took 1 at the counter. I got to the sitters and threw up a little tiny bit and closed my eyes for 15 mins, just enough to be able to drive home. Got in the house and went to bed for 30 mins. I am still not right but OMG so much better. I have not had a headache like that in years, and not having any food to boot I'm sure did not help. Anyway - that is my day. I have an email from the job, but I can't even make sense of it right now but i'm going to start doing things now. I'm so excited

I am so excited and nervous have to tell you all that i am changing my mind every 5 minutes about getting on the plane. I leave 3 weeks from today HOLY CRAP! but yes, the fear is still there and very real!

Morning girls overall it is starting off good, only 2lbs of bloat left and i'm personally happy with that, or glad that it is gone, will be happier after a fill and major losses. Pray for me have a full day today - It is going to cool down next week, low 60's for a couple of days and after 2 weeks finally going to rain. We had the sprinkler on the front yard the other day when ds was playing and now need to mow there and enjoy the sunshine while it is still here

Yipee, it seems to be working Kat - not just the bill, but my windows are so old and i have no insullation in my basement or atic and that program would take care of all that. it would be a miracle! I'm getting so excited about our trip pray I get my fill in the am, i am being so good but starving
