Good morning everyone!! Work week almost over for most folks!! Maybe since this is our "Band Month" we are all more reflective? It is easy to look at what we do wrong, but we do things right too!!! We are WONDERFUL VIOLETS, and no one can take that away from us!!

How funny, I just checked my biorythms and I am at the lowest point intellectually, so disregard everything I have said today!! In the words of Martin Short 'I am not very smart'! Do you guys know what I am talking about with Martin Short on snl a long time ago when he was a sychronized swimmer with water wings? I am cracking myself up now just thinking about it!!

You know struggling is something we all deal with. Sometimes it is easier than others. I do go for counseling every other week. My counselor and I had a long talk about what I want out of counseling. If I knew what I needed would I be in counseling? I can joke about it and make light of all of it, but when push comes to shove it is a struggle!! I know I am not weak, but it is still a struggle. Anyone remember when we were kids about 'biorythms'? Maybe that is the answer!!!

Pamela, that sucks about the airline schedule!! What a pain to have to deal with!! Tracy I am waiting for the spark to rejuice myself. If you find it let me know!! I am trying to stay positive about this weight gain, but not being very strong. It really has gotten me down a lot!! I am now a little over 300 a place I never wanted to visit again. I have an appointment on the 14th for a fill and will weigh then, but I really don't think I have lost anything. Really need to get inside my head and see what the problem is. Why are some people sooo successful. Why can't I feel the way I did a month or so after my surgery? At that point I thought there is no way anyone could gain weight!! Eat around the band? What does that mean? I want this so bad, so why am I struggling with it? What makes some people struggle with it, and some people have it come easy for them. It doesn't mean that I am weaker or less deserving. I learned this the hard way. When I had my brain tumor, it is a death sentance for a lot of people, I was one of the lucky ones, but it didn't mean anything, the people that died from it were not any less special or deserving of life. It was just in their cards. Wow am I getting very deep or what!! I am going to stop now. Jane

I don't see any ads for W.D. I am tired. Don't want to work today. It is a long day without a lot of customers! But, more than I had yesterday!! I did three people yesterday!! That gets me to the Illinois border for our trip, and for those who don't know I am like 10 minutes away from Illinois!! I am kind of worried about my business, but everyone is slow. Well I am off to to some errands before work!! Believe it or not, got up and took a shower as soon as I got up, instead of waiting til the last minute!!

I have my skin tags cut off my neck and chest. He only numbs the big ones. It kind of hurts either way, but snip, ouch, it over. Or needle stick, ouch, do you feel this?, no then snip and it is over. Or they could freeze it off and watch it get gross looking for the next few days and then it falls off. I am for the snip and the ouch!! I am listening to this interview of this guy David Bailey who is a long time survivor from a very malignant brain tumor. I have met him a few times, and he does beautiful music, kind of like James Taylor. Fascinating man, and very courageus!!! Heather did I miss your baby bump pic? Okay I am off for some stuff I need to do!!

So Laura you decide what group you want to pick up based on Carsons schedule. I am totally open. I can bring some food/drink stuff maybe you can make an extra page on our google thing? Not really sure how that works.

I have gotten some fills, I am taking it sort of slow, so I don't have the problems like before. I did not know you could have the band and NOT have reflux etc.... I am not doing well, but am hoping that I am going to reach up and grab ahold of something that might help. My arms are getting tired!!! I go for another fill in two weeks. Everybody seems so good with personals. I am horrible!! I have thought that for awhile now, and today I feel bad about it! Not sure why? Maybe because I am pmsing and late in starting??? I don't know why, but thanks to all of you who are GREAT at the things I lack!!! Can't wait for our trip. Bye!!

Haydee, that sounds like heaven!!!!!!!!! I think we need to hire a 'beach boy' for our house in Alabama!!! I finally decided on driving to Alabama, I put a post on that website, so I think cars are taken car of? I have a pretty open day today, I need to run up to the shop and do somebodys hair at 1:00, one of my weeklys had a death, so I am going to run up and fix it for her. Her hair, not the deceased one. Sort of like the 1/2 pie thing. Have a good start to the week!!!
