Good Morning Ladies, Hope you're all doing great. I'm not EVEN going to attempt to "catch up". I will say I loved the picture of Eileenie and the new hairdo of Darcy, what a honey of a haircut and color, you look great. Patty, OMG, Johnny Depp, he can eat Cookies in my bed anytime! Sherry, sorry about the dumb a$$ at work, duh, what do they think, it'll just fix it self? Rene, have you been to that place in NY that's supposed to have all the designer clothes at great prices, some type of "ally"? I had an NSV yesterday, not that I've lost any weight, been the same weight for months and months now. I had on a pair of shorts that were fairly short compaired to my almost to the knee ones I've been wearing, you know, to avoid the crotch eating up one side of the leg, well, the leg(s), stayed where they were supposed to. So, now I'm taking my other shorts to be hemmed to the 5" length instead of the 6-8, LOL. I was able to wear shorts with out the ride up last year, but they were longer, before surgery, the only ones that didn't ride up were capris, LOL. If you all remember I had to work all last week, (well except for 2 days it rained, so I let my sons run the show), this week my maternity girl is working 1/2 days and my other one is back from Hawaii. I've been hanging out with the gkids for a few days at the pool. Don't know how to do side by sides, so here is a pic of one little cutie.

Dinner Out!!
You might want to ask for a seat near the restrooms, just in case! Just remember to take small bites and chew, chew, chew. I tend to be more disciplined when I'm eating out, (I eat much slower). Enjoy!

My Surgeon Hasnt Done Any Lap Bands!!
I was my doctor's first lapband and I'm still kicking, and that was a year and a half ago. My doctor had a proctor assist, so I had two for the price of one. Practice also makes one over confident at times too, JMO, eitherway, I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm sure if I there had been a choice I would have selected the more experienced, but I didn't have that choice and I have no regrets. See if he's going to have someone assist, I would certainly think it would be required by Inamed.

My surgeon is a newbie
I was my doctor's 1st, I have absolutely no regrets....GO FOR IT. Sometimes I think it's better they're new, they tend to be more conscious and less over confident. I too was self pay. Good luck!

an NSV I could do without
The problem with Tshirt bras is they flatten the girls and it looks like you're wearing a sports bra. I'm in search of a new comfy bra, I would love to have one custom made, anyone know of a place that does that?

Hey Everyone, Betty, the house and flowers are fabulous, no wonder you're tired. I've been busy pinching off those little dead heads on the petunias, they're pretty to look at, but that's a lot of pinching. Becky, good luck on the upcoming fill. I still say my band is heat activated, every time I get over heated, I can't keep chit down. I was so aggravated last night, I cut open this sweet cantaloupe, only to find out it wouldn't stay down, ERRR! Mary, the golf/flower cart is actually preventing me from getting the much needed exercise. Every time I go to the pier to go fishing or drinking, I take the cart. The funny thing is I back it off the pier, I scare the crap out of anybody riding with me, cause I just floor it, but it sounds like it's going much faster than it is. Also Mary, I know it must be so hard learning to let go of the kids for the weekend and worrying about them, I hope you'll soon be able to enjoy that time for you, because you deserve it. Next time, turn the radio on, fill the tub with Calgon and hot Water and let Calgon take you awayyyyyyy. Oh yeah, they're your kids, if you want to tell them good night, give them a call! Eileenie, I'm at work, I have to type fast, boss might catch me, :Banane35: , LMAO. Betty, Donna, Cindy, WTH is a Mav? :heh: Donna, that sounds like a good fill .5, I usually get "smidgens" of a fill. Darn things are sooo tempermental. Kat, which program do you use for photos? I use the free software from Picasa, it does the resize too, I think . Darcy, how'd you get that frog to sit so still, was he dead with his eyes open, LMAO! Diane, glad your back is better, did you save the magazine? (what magazine ) Patty, I so hope you hear something soon, I wish there was something I could do, so here's a hug anyway :Banane35: (couldn't find the individual hug, so here's one from all of us). Patty, what do you mean no air, as in AC? OMG, :omg: , I keep my bedroom on 66 at night, and still get hot (ok they come in flashes). :embarassed: Cindy, how special to have a few days away, with swimming too. I would sure like to do a few days to Texas and see my Texas pals, I just need to make up my mind and DO IT! Anne, I thought I'd been bad not writing, you must realllllllly be busy, wait, you don't work, what's your excuse lady? :Banane35: Ms. Beanie, you on the road again? How's the fill going? My mom got a fill about a month ago and she's lost 9 lbs, I'm so jealous. Ok, if I missed anybody, I'll catch ya next time, it's terrible when you get behind. I've got to take pictures of my flowers, course mine looks like a desert compared to Ms Betty, her pool makes mine look like it's in a desert too. Later gang!

This is fountain grass, before it gets it's wispy pods on it. I'll take another after it blooms, with a weeping willow bush behind it. The WW started out as a twig that my friend rooted and gave to me a couple of years ago, it's the curly weeping willow.

I'm sooooo looking forward to a 3day weekend, 3 days of thing but Pat time :clap2: :clap2: . I've been filling pots with flowers, OMG, :omg: , I'll bet I've spent $300 in plants. My planters all look like I couldn't find anything but purple petunias. I've never used them before, but I hope they'll stay blooming all summer. I did a red, white, and blue pot. I'll post some b4 and afters later gal pals! Hugs all the way around! PS Where's Anne?
