Suzzzie.

I'm here. Been a long rough day for me... Happy Memorial day weekend everyone! :cursing:

Thats awesome Beckie!! Some fill is better than NO fill at all!!! Yay!!

Aww. so glad she likes them!! :blushing:

I like my tea plain... just like tinted water. Lol.

A few years ago I was in Mississippi for my cousins wedding and was pretty damned dumbfounded when the waitress at a restraunte asked us if we wanted "Sweet Tea or Unsweet Tea." all in her southern accent. Haha. I'd never heard of such a thing before!!

I am. Though I never said it until I was about 12 and my Aunt from Texas moved in with us. Lol. So thats where I get it from. I also say 'soda' instead of 'pop' or 'cola' or 'coke' or whatever else ppl call it.

Lol. Ya'll are silly.

I didn't watch American Idol much at all this year... it was on at the same time as Biggest Loser for a while, and I watched that instead... and by the time that was done AI was already in full swing. David Cook is from Blue Springs MO which is just a 'stones throw' away from KC... so I've been hearing all about him and his performances ALLLLLLLLLLL season long. Lol. Everytime I got to WalMart I see at least one person wearing a David Cook tshirt. Lol. BTW... I'm now up 6 pounds since my unfill on the 12th. I R.E.A.L.L.Y. need to start exercising again regularly... this dang band won't work on its own!!

Hey Cathy!! Congrats on getting you a band! You will LOVE it... once you get fills and restriction. Lol. SO you're from Kinsport TN? I'm friends with a girl from there. She is here in KC in Med School for now though. Very small world!

Woot! I got us started on another page!

Flowers huh? lol... nice. I'll come to the wedding as well... maybe you can set me up with a nice elliptical machine or something? Ha! Flip flops should be your way any day now. Can't remember if I did 2 or 3 day shipping. Maybe tomorrow...? You'll have to let me know how the girls like them. I'm sure you'll want a pair for yourself too! :tongue:

OMG D!!!!!!!! I'm sitting here laughing my ass off! You crack me up!! I heart that song too...

That would completely rock!

BB - Wow... I'm glad they found a way for her to graduate. Ugh! So glad my high school didn't require that! Lol... I graduated #23 in a class of 25 students! I hated high school and just never did my work. In college, when it was my choice to be there, and studying something that I found interesting and useful I held a 3.5 GPA. High school is overrated and out of date... when will they learn? Janine - evening snacking... I started crocheting last December. It keep both of my hands tied up and snack free while watching TV in the evenings. Mostly I just don't want to get my yarn all cheesey or wet or crumbs in it... whatever I may have snacked on. I get one evening snack prior to starting crochet, and I get a dinner break. PLUS I get to make these fabulous things! I'm always making fluffy flip flops, currently working on a major afghan, and have plans to do a few decorative pillows... a couple throw blanket type afghans, etc. I"ve also made a purse that my Mom tried to steal from me. So, pick you a hobby that keeps TWO hands busy and go for it!

Brachioplasty.

Lol. Leave it to own on "tell it like it is" Juli for always being tehre to kick our arses!

Janine - sounds to me like you should have just gotten down on all fours and licked the bottle of wine up! Lol. j/k. Sorry about the homelife drama... Does it help any to know that my freaking rent check bounced this month? Grr! So I had ice cream to comfort me. I hate this cycle. Maybe I should take up drinking. Lol.

Totally interjecting myself into this challenge. The one I Was doing end June 1 (I think) so I need another one to get me along... Does anyone know of any that go through the whole summer? Hmmm. I need one to get me to freaking GOAL! Hahah!

Hey all... I need to b**** and moan here for a minute... Since my slight unfill last Monday I've gained 3 pounds. I'd lost 21 pounds in about 5 1/2 weeks because I was too tight, so I kind of assumed I'd gain something back, but I'm really upset to see it on the scale. I'm NOT eating right... and I'm NOT exercising. I know it's all my fault. I know that I cann't rely on the band to do it all for me... but it's irritating as heck! Beckie - glad you got an appt with an ID doc. You'll have to let us know what he says!!

I hear ya about the unfill thing!! I've gained like 3 pounds in the 1 week since my unfill!! Ugh!!! I'm totally leaning towards coming to the convention and skipping Nigeria. Much cheaper. Lol.

so Stef... what about your work-out partner?

Lol... just thought I'd share - I was on my way home from the post office and noticed 2 ppl on thier bikes... in the McD's drive thru. I just found it amusing.

I NEED a summer challenge!! Where's BG?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!!??! I need to ride my damn bike! Ugh! I've been such a loaf. I've been so busy working on crochet projects (shoes, afghan, baby afghans, etc) and working OT and planning vacations. I've gained 3 pounds since my unfill last MOnday. But I've eaten better the past 3-4 days... except last night when I decided I needed sugar so I made up a cookie recipe and ate about 5. The remaining 20-ish cookies will go to work tomorrow. HP - love the bike. It's a bute! J - got your check today, I"m on my way to the USPS and will get your cute floppers in the mail. Hope you like them... or rather that the girls like them Lol. I got plenty, let me know if you want/need more. Tell your friends. Convention - Not so sure the Nigeria trip for me will be a go... I might just hang back here in the good old US of A and make that convention. That is really perfect timing for me, cause I usually go down to Houston in Late Sept to visit my best friend, so I could do that and then stop by the convention on my way home. I'd love to meet ya'll!! OK... the USPS is waiting for me!

I don't want to work today...

Thats awesome C!!!
