Well I have an appraiser coming, got a home equity loan last year to pay for band, and the interest rate has dropped like 3 points!!! My bank doesn't charge for this service, so I am doing it. I have one hour and 39 minutes to make my house look good. Tracyks those tomato plants are so cool!! I live on the third floor, so could actually have those! I watched QVC once when they had plants on, and it was soo neat. I wasn't tempted to buy them, especially since I don't have a yard, but they were so pretty and it was interesting to hear the story behind them. Never thought I would watch a shopping channel!! Okay, since I am a slow typer I only have 1 hour and 36 minutes, bye!!

Okay Kat, I have fat on you!!! Seriosly, enough that this weekend I have been wondering about toobin. I might have to do a shot of something before I get into my long sleeve, long pants over swimsuit and a coverup!! I am going to pack a bag, and I am taking my big suitcase because I am going shopping after our trip, so if anyone needs me to bring anything I have room. Seriously anything!! Does anyone here carry an epi pen or is a diabetic? I am seriously allergic to nuts and carry an epi pen and wonder what I have to do to bring a syringe on the plane? I guess I just need to call the airline, but I afraid of a 15 minute hold time!! It is monday!!! Jane

Today is Annas birthday (my neice) so I am going to go there after church. She doesn't like opening gifts, or really getting them for that matter, so I just put it all in one happy birthday bag. All my relatives should be there today, so it should be fun. Well I need to get off and hop in the shower!! Jane

Laura, I am betting on it being TOM!! What is instant bacon? I am seriously in a deep funk today, I went shopping to buy some new pants, and looked in the mirror at the store and was sooo heavy. I know I have lost a lot of weight, and I am sooo happy. But, the fact of the matter is I am only five feet and weigh over 200 pounds!!! Plus because I have lost 100 pounds I am droopy/drippy with my old fat. I guess I am just having a bad day, but wow, this really sucks. I still am no where near where I want to be, or should be for health reasons. I need a fill, I will hopefully get it this Friday, since they cancelled my last appointment the end of March. I think that will make me feel better, I have been bitter about that whole experiance since then. Oh well have a great weekend!!

Wow Houston is really spread out!!! It gives me a better understanding of the area that way, thanks Terry!!! I slept pretty well last night, didn't sleep through the night, but was still okay. Sort of stepped on scale this morning and looks like I am down a few, that is just incredible, because I haen't walked this week at all!! We will see on Monday what it is for real. Judy and Michelle have a great day!!!!

Just talked to my mom, and she told me my dad had been coughing and waking her up all night (allergies) and when she woke up with the bed shaking (earthquake) she thought my dad was having a seizure!! I guess she figured those allergies were worse than she thought!!! Just wanted to post that real fast before I am off to work. Have a great day!!

Had an earthquake here last night at 4:30 a.m. and I was up and felt it. It was weird. I sort of remember an earthquake in the late 60's I was 5 or 6 so I just remember bits of it, but it was a stronger one (at least that is what I think). I think this was a 5.4 on the richter scale and was centered 150 miles away. It was weird, not bad, just weird. Having bad troubles with acid reflux and was awake most of the night, when I wasn't awake I threw up in my bed (am I 5!). Luckily it was only on me and one pillow, so that was easy to take care of. This reflux stuff is for the birds, I have been fighting with this since December!! Haydee, TracyK, and Terry--do you all live in Houston? How far do you live from each other. I have looked at a map and Houston is really spread out!! Kat purple thoughts to you and your dd. It doesn't really count as a day off Tracyks, with not fun stuff, but try to have a little fun?!? CONGRATS PAM ON YOUR BIOPSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer, Judy, Michelle, Laura, and Susie----Happy Friday!!! Just think 4 weeks from right now, most of us will be in the process of meeting up!!!!!!! I am very excited!!! Jane

Lets see 4 weeks from tonight I will be washing clothes and packing of course at the last minute, and then be paranoid about oversleeping!!! So then I won't be able to sleep because I will be afraid I will oversleep and miss my plane!! When I had my surgery which was a year ago today I was afraid I was going to oversleep, so I figured I would be sleeping most of the day anyways so it didn't matter!! I am rambling sorry!!! Jane

Well I want to have a trillion rep points!!! I had a very odd day at work today. I have a couple of crazy people, which keeps my job interesting, well this one girl, who I do feel sorry for is mentally disturbed, and she hadn't washed or combed her hair in over a year!!!!!!!!! I don't know how it didn't smell!!! I mean I wash my hair every day because of smell/cleanliness issues. She is probably about my age or a little older, and she doesn't work. I do feel sorry for her though. I threw everything I used except my scissors away, and disinfected that. Pam or Tracy I forgot to tape BB!!!! Is Natalie gone???? I consider myself a fairly religious purpose, but God is there to share in your good fortunes and sorrows, not reality tv. I think he is just shaking his head over reality tv. I love it though!!! Well I am going to go to bed. Talk to you guys later!!! Jane

Tracyks vegetable, dairy, grains, protein, I think all you are missing is fruit!!!:confused: I missed BB last night, but can't agree with you more about Jesus and BB, that drives me crazy. I hope she is not serious about that and it is just an act!! I do hope she goes tonight, I will tape it tonight!! TWO DAYS OF SUN IN A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone have problems with the port place scar sinking in? I may not be saying that right, but there is like a dip that you see through my clothes. No big deal, but odd. Well off to shower!!! Purple thoughts Jenn!!!!! Happy Bandiversary Jenn and Laura!!!

Laura, too funny on the video games. It reminds me of the time I bought the original grand theft auto for my nephew (had a ps here for him, good aunt huh!!) anyways I was in the kitchen and came out and saw him beating this police officer, there was blood flying and it was gross. I nearly had a heart attack!! I told him he couldn't play it anymore, and he told me that I could go online to get codes where there would be no violence. I went, and there was NOT a code for no violence, but there were numerous codes for 'pumping up the violence!'. It was then that I learned that all games have ratings. Good thing I am not a mom because I flunked big time on that one!!! I was horrified. Well 3:00 came and went and nobody called me to ask where I was... Kat, my nephew is going to the Kirtland (sp?) airforce base in July for three weeks. He is in ROTC and that is part of his training. I understand it is near you? I swear I don't know how his girlfriend and him are going to be apart for three weeks!! I think for our trip I am going to make a little book of where I work, live, the people I work with, the people I love etc... I never post pics, except for X rated ones. I figure 5 or 10 pictures will maybe show you guys who I am? :huh2: Gosh I don't even know that!!! I went to the before and after pics and saw you Laura, you look great!!!! You have shown such a HUGE difference!! I also saw booboo kity and was amazed!!!!!! I even thought about printing her before and after pics for inspiration!! Have a good night!!

Terry, got my car detailed last fall and they did a great job!!! Never had it done before and my car is 8 years old. It was amazing!!! Although it is already trashed. You would think I have 18 children!!! Michelle, you have done soo well with you weight loss, I think the extra pound is retribution from the cold you gave Tracy!!!!:smile2: Tracy I hope you feel better!! I wrote in my date book that I have something at 3:00 today. This is the first time I have done this, but I have racked my brain what it might be and can't remember! So I am going to stand someone up today! Judy when does spring come? Well I am off to start my day!! Jane
