April chat for NJ!!!!!
Hi Y'all! Just walked in the door and need to get supper going, it's already 6:00! I had to stop at Home Depo and get a hose reel, ours broke yesterday and we had to have a new one. We worked in the yard alot this weekend, and like Beanie I am sore all over too! I love working in the flowers, but dang, they can keep the soreness! I walked like a 90 year old lady today!:heh: :heh: Eileen - at times my back feels much better almost to the point I don't feel like it is hurt, the next time I can't hardly walk! Go figure! I was very careful of bending too much outside yesterday, tried to sit and do some of it. If my DH had to work in the flower beds I wouldn't have any! Like you, he would love to cememt it all in! Kat - The wild flowers are all in bloom and are beautiful. Up and down 20 by our house is just full of purple hills with blue bonnets. Then I went to Duncanville and the pink ones were blooming there, along with some yellow ones. (I hope I didn't tell you this already) It is really pretty. I just love riding around looking at them. We usually ride the bikes and go looking, but I haven't felt like my back or my foot was in too good of shape for that yet. I miss it though. I'm glad you got to go for a long ride! I love to cook, just hate to clean up. When I lived at home my Mom would love it when I cooked and baked and she was happy to do the clean up. I'll cook any day! Although I have to say I am getting better at not dirtying up everything in the kitchen when I cook now! St. Sherry! I love it! Too tight usually doesn't let you lose weight, works just the opposite! Good Luck! Beanie - Sometimes I think our bodies just have to take a break and catch up. Then we start losing again. I don't know what happened to me, I stay the same give or take 5 pounds all the time! I think it is because I haven't been able to move as much as I use to. Cindy - How cute DD cooked! MMMMMMMM I love crab cakes! Patty - Sorry you have so much on your plate right now! Is your Ex even looking for more work? You might have to light a fire under him. I don't know what they do there, but even if he isn't working that isn't an excuse for not paying child support! Let the courts know you aren't getting any! Still crossing my fingers for you! Darcy girl - Have you decided if you are going to buy the cabin or not? You really should as much as you love going up there. Pat - Where you at now? Get thee back here on the double, not excuses this time! :D Diane - Glad to hear you are doing better! Hey all that clothes shopping should make you smile! Chrispy, Mary, Deb, and anyone else I missed hello! I have to go, my stove is calling me!

Had your lap band 3 or more years?
Awwwww Leatha, I am so sorry to hear your band slipped again. Your Doc said the band was too big? Did they use the larger band on you last time? Hang in there, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! Hugs!

Chrispy - Just take it slow, you have all the time in the world to decide if he's right for you. Well, I got out and worked some in the flower beds, now I have to finish the house and laundry. I am glad I got some of it done though, I like doing it when it's not so hot. My Iris's are starting to bloom and they are really pretty. Is everyone out playing today?

Weird Feelings
I sometimes think we can't see the thinner person in the mirror. I think we keep seeing the old person. The time I was amazed the most was when my DH took some pictures of me and I couldn't get over the difference! Pictures don't lie!

what I wish I had known/done presurgery
I am also going to add that my Doctor's office spent 2 hours with me explaining everything, which I think was really good!
