I up for a tattoo as long as it is small and I can incorporate it with my goal tatoo! People will never believe me if I come back with a tattoo. As far as blood donation goes I thought you had to wait until after 1 year from surgery? That is what they told me when I had the surgery in April, but maybe that was because I had another one with it? Not sure, but like anything you get lots of different answers depending on Doc. I saw most of your pictures Judy got to the end of page 4 then had a computer malfunction viewing the rest, am kind of skittish about viewing it again, can you post the pic that everyone is talking about at the end? I love the pics though, I am with Michelle in cruising vicariously through you!! You look like a person of normal weight, you really do. You can also tell a big difference in Bob. I am not working today, everybody canceled, which is kind of silly because now it stopped snowing. Oh well a day off is something I could use! I am feeling very stressed with my weight right now, and am trying to talk myself into being proud about all I have lost so far. I swear if my neighbors can hear me talking they must think I am nuts!! I need a band for my brain eating/feelings!!! Jane

Well I went to the Dr. yesterday and no fill. I was such a baby and cried!!! She must have thought I was the oddest person!!! I was really looking forward to a fill and didn't get it. I totally understand where she is coming from, but that didnt help me feel better. I guess little sleep that night and being late on my period made me weepy?? I am not sure, but am totally embarrassed!!! I have another appointment the first part of April with the new Doc since she is moving!! I woke up this morning to thunder and it is snowing!! That is something I have only heard 2 other times during a snow storm. Weird when it happens. I think I am going to call my clients today and make sure they are coming in, I would be mad to get there and have everyone cancel!! Laura, love the sig thing, but don't think I have a picture! Maybe I will take one next month. Okay I am off. Jane

OOOHHHHH I forgot to watch BB last night!!!! Jane

Can't figure out how to cut and paste here, so Laura consider your butt gently nudged! You can do it!!!!!! I am not very motivated either. I saw a commercial on tv about scrap gold. I think I am going to take a few chains and a bangle that I don't wear and see what happens. Has anyone else done that? I hope you are feeling better today Susie!! Oh well I already been to accountant and ran a few errands now I will leave for the Dr.s office. Jane

Welcome back Judy!! The ice storm that they said was coming today sort of fizzled out. Now they are saying a wintery mix tonight. I have an appointment with my Lapband Dr. today this is the last appointment I will have with you before she leaves. I will miss her. Well check back in later!! Have a great week!!!

Well, I finally got my taxes done (I think) and going to bed. I have to get up in a couple of hours to go to accountant. My question in life is why did I put this off to the last minute?????? Hope you slept well Michelle. Did you sleep TracyKs?? Hope you enjoyed the weekend and all the festivities!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad your mom is better Terry! Well I am going to try to sleep some. Jane

Yeah Judy Is Back With Our Countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We Missed You!!!!!!

Pam, Love the swirly painting too!!! Jane

Where Is Susie When I Need Tax Patrol Instead Of Water Patrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drool::confused2::laugh: I am so putting this off!!

Yeah we have had really nice weather here in the 70's, tomorrow and Tuesday we are supposed to get an ice storm??? Then my mom heard at church a number of people talking about the 'big' storm that is supposed to hit Thursday, supposedly the biggest winter storm of the year? Who knows weird weather. Pam, I am wanting a tatoo on my upper leg/hip, I want it to include in some way that doesn't look like numbers, the amount of weight I have lost and a heart. I obviously haven't lost all my weight, so I don't know how much, plus I think I will have to have some kind of ps done because I already look like some parts of me are melted. I could always get a small violet and then add to it? Oh well here I go taxes, I have been avoiding it ALL DAY!!! Have a good one Jane

Love the color Laura, wanted my bedroom that color, but since I am going to sell in the next few years decided to go with a light greyish green, kind of a hard color to describe. Saw a swimsuit ad today that said that this suit would make you 4 sizes smaller. I wonder if I wear 4 what would happen?????? Have a good night. Tomorrow I am under house arrest for getting my taxes ready!!!! Jane

Off to work, but it is suppose to be warmer today and the SUN IS SHINING!!!! That seems to be rare occurance lately! Drinking my coffee and then heading for shower!! This week has been busy thank goodness!! Have a good day, be careful driving Michelle! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND TRACY!! Jane

Hey Terry, are you down 2 pounds??

KAT YOU CAN'T MISS OUR WEEKEND YOU ARE MY ROOMIE AND I WOULD MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laura hope you are home!!! Well I think I am the only one here who works on Saturday, so TGIF means nothing to me, and TGIS doesn't have the same ring!! But, I LOVE having Monday off so much that I don't mind working Saturdays. Have a good evening!! Jane

I think I know who you guys were talking about on AI, especially on the guys. I saw that, just missed the girls and the vote off. TracyK that picture was tooooo funny!!! Sometimes that is how I feel I look, just shorter!! CONGRATULATIONS AND HAVE FUN TRACYKS!!!! Laura, Michelle, Pam, Haydee, Gina, Denise, both Tracys', Judy (I think this is a given!!), Jenn, Kat, Terri, Susie, I am forgetting somebody, oh my gosh!!! I cant think!! Anyways for all you have a happy leap day and great weekend!! Jane

sorry didn't finish before anyways this is going to be a quick series end if they don't stop evicting couples. Today was a bad band day. I am ready to start TOM and am very crabby and irratable! Kat, I can't say I understand inlaws but, wow! Where is your time with your husband? I missed american idol last night and tonight can somebody post who got voted off or pm me? Thanks and have a great night!! Jane

Laura and Terry You get em girls!!!! Too funny!! LauraK and Pam that Amanda girl got on my LAST nerve! I did feel sorry for her when she was sick, but glad she didn't get any sympathy votes to stay. I don't like the couple thing either. I have always liked one of the two that goes, plus this is going to be a QUICK

I am having a bad day and taking it out on food. I went grocery shopping after work and that was a bad idea. Jane

Thought I would give a recipe, looks good. I have made the recipe for Kashi Cereal muffins on the back of the box and those are very good. Use applesauce for baking. You can still enjoy homemade baked goods even though you're watching your weight. Much of the fat in muffins, cakes and brownies comes from the vegetable oil. But there are clever ways to eliminate much of the fat. Cut the amount of oil called for in half and replace the other half with applesauce. By using applesauce, you'll add Fiber and ½ cup of applesauce accounts for 1 serving of fruit. Plus, you'll save half the calories. Applesauce oatmeal Muffins Ingredients 1 cup old fashion rolled oats (not instant) 1 cup non-fat milk 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 2 egg whites 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. sugar raisins or nuts (optional) Nutritional Info Fat: 0.5gCarbohydrates: 20.5gCalories:93.5Protein: 2.9g Soak the oats in milk for about one hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray. Combine the oat mixture with the applesauce and egg whites, and mix until combined. In a separate bowl measure and whisk the dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined. Add nuts or raisins if desired. Do not over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough. Spoon muffin mixture into muffin pan. Combine the cinnamon and sugar and top each muffin with some of the mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done. Remove from pan, cool and enjoy. These can be frozen and reheated in the microwave for a quick Breakfast. Number of Servings: 12

I was wondering the same thing Terry. How much do we owe you?

Terry loved the bracelet!! That is really scary Suzie! I am not sure if I would be helpful or not in a situation like that. I guess you never know until it happens but I would be afraid I would freeze. Kat is your tooth getting closer to getting fixed?? Love the car Tracy!!! Didn't find out what happened to that other guy, but what a night at BB! Laura that is a neat car! I am too cheap to pay for insurance on a convertible but would LOVE to have one!! Did you all know that there are digital cameras out there that make you slimmer?? That is amazing to me!! I hope Judy is having fun on her cruise!! Have a good evening!!

Kat that is horrible! They were just doing a show on Montel on Big Medicine and showed Dr. Lomonoco (sp) and some plastic surgery he did. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Tracy you are SO BLESSED if you get him!! Jane

Pam that is great!! I have NO idea what work a dissertation will take, but you are soooo close that I am glad you made that decision!! Denise your kids look so great!! There is nothing like a glowing pregnancy!! I was suppose to wake up to snow. No snow. Don't know why, but we weren't supposed to get that much anyways!! I have an appointment on Monday with my fill Dr. and unlike Michelle (who is doing great by the way!!!!) I NEED A FILL!!!!!!!!!!!!! She unfilled me a whole cc the end of January because I was having some tummy issues, then when I went back to get a fill, she wouldn't fill me because I was sick, too bad it was the kind you can hear (respirtory). otherwise I could have gotten one!! TracyK can you call your bank and get financing? When I bought my last car 8 years ago, I already had financing at my Credit Union so it was one less thing I had to deal with. But, on the other hand since then they have come out with amazing credit deals. Well I am off to get some things done before work!! Jane

I hope you know Judy that I am joking! Jane

Never had Goldschlagger, never even heard of it, and I used to tend bar years ago. Still haven't found the tax stuff I am looking for!!! Yikes! I drink coffee all day, it is interesting about plateaus and such. But, somebody said it caffeine is in a lot of diet pills, odd. Okay back to taxes! Jane
