I am excited about Harry Potter, though I must admit my fav character is Prof Snape. I feel sorry for him from the books and I hope the movie pulls that compassion in, but somehow I doubt it. Still pysched about it, though! And Star Trek...eh, DH is a HUGE original ST fan so I'm not sure we'll see this one. He seems a little put off about it, but the trailers look good! So, I may be able to drag him there.

I actually had one this morning coming to work. It was a surprise to me, but I think I just took too big of a sip of my shake. Luckily I had a cup beside me and I pretended to be drinking while I was pb'ing into it. YUCK, I know...But, rather that than anywhere else. On an unrelated note, this conversation reminds me of my drinking days...I was with my bf and my roommate and I was driving home from the bar (D.D.). My roommate was completely wasted in the back seat and he didn't want to bother me by asking me to pull over when he started feeling sick. So, he threw up in his shirt pocket. What a gentleman. :crying: I'll be there, and I'm bringing DH...Kids welcome, right? If so, DD will be there, too. Tap, I feel the same way! I read the Exercise thread but feel way out of my league there. G4E - Good morning to you, too! I've bounced 2 pounds since losing 7 from last Monday. I'm hoping to bounce down a little bit more by the end of this week. And, good morning!

Have you tried it yet, or will you? I recommend it! Fanny, thanks - We may try again another day. I already told him I want a certain toy for my b-day, so maybe that will be enough for now. I do miss it. :crying:

Haven't you seen them all? That's why there are no more left! Over the weekend we saw Death Race. I really didn't want to see it, but DH won. But since I was expecting nothing, it was better than I thought. More of a plot than I would have imagined. So, just that and Hannah Montana. The rest we were catching up on DVR tv shows. In Plain Sight is back on and we watched that last night, plus the recaps on Sat.

Nah. Nope.

Almost hate to admit this...but this morning DD and I went to see Hannah Montana. For what I expected, it was a little better. But, still not great. I did enjoy the musical guests in the movie. Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift, plus I do think Miley Cyrus has a good voice, so the ballad that she sings was very good. But, I'm a little brain dead from the little girls screaming in the audience. I should have remember the Hannah Montana concert we saw at the Houston Rodeo a couple years ago - but I guess I'd tuned that out.

Tap, go ahead and make your toast....I'll just hold that trophy for you.

So, the rain's coming from YOUR way, huh? I also wish people wouldn't type that way. I used to have a boss that actually wrote that way, where some random letters would be capitalized.

That sounds like a great Friday night. I love the rain. It's just really dark here, and no rain - YET...but it's coming!

I'm a bouncer, too. I didn't get frustrated until I bounced up and never bounced back down. I'm sure Plain will have something to say about that, but it is what it is....

My absolute lowest since I was 16 years old was reached about a year ago...but I was too tight and couldn't even keep water down. I didn't eat anything for days, barely drank and finally got a friggin clue! I had dropped 10 pounds in those few days, and needed an unfill. After I was unfilled (completely) I gained those 10, plus another 7! So, that's the 7 I just lost (it has been a whole year!!)and now I am trying to follow all the rules and be very, very careful this time. But, thank you!

Drive by: I've lost 7 pounds since Monday! And to think, I was going to tell the Doc to shove it, that I wanted the whole fill out - a fill wouldn't do a darn thing, and yet here I am! Now, granted, the 7 is 7 I've gained very recently, but whatever! I'm still happy about it.

Yep...like those Easter eggs I have laying around. Mmmm.

PJTP - Warning bad food alert, do not read further if you have a deep-fried weakness (as I do). SCOTCH EGGS - Has anyone ever had these??? 1 pound bulk pork sausage 1 tablespoon fresh parsley -- chopped 1 tablespoon grated onion 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 4 hard-cooked eggs -- shelled 1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs Combine sausage, parsley, onion, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Divide sausage mixture into 4 portions; shape into patties. Place one egg atop each patty, shaping the sausage mixture around egg till completely covered. Roll each sausage-covered egg in breadcrumbs. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

I have to admit, I cried and cried and cried at Mike's brother. Poor guy. I really don't understand the players this year. They really are thinking with their hearts by sending Laura home, but personally, I'd have sent a threat home - Kristen. Yes, it's about getting healthy, yes, it's about losing weight - but it's also about the money, too. And, when Kristen said, "Don't be cowards" that would have sent me over the edge and I'd have put her name down without hesitation.

Thanks!

cool! thank you! browsing site now!

Okay, ya'll...I have a quick question for Blackberry users. (btw - I love my Blackberry!!!) I'm looking for a good app that tracks calories/food intake. Any suggestions?

Ah...leave it to Plain to give me my first giggle of the morning. Morning! So far I'm doing okay with the fill. It would make me batty to not know what I'm getting. That's ridiculous IMO, and I wouldn't leave the doctor's until I knew what was going on with the band. I have a stress management/yoga class with the Doc's therapist on Wednesday. He suggested I get some stress therapy since I get tighter with stress and have been mega stressed lately. On exercise note, we took DD's friend to the gym with us last night. They're pretty laid back there, and we normally just walk in and wave...so it wasn't an issue for her to go. She and DD were on the elipticals and DH and I were on the treadmills in front of them. I was doing a modified vs of C25K, where I'd walk for 1.5 mins and run for 2 mins, for a total of 30 minutes. Afterwards, I asked the girl what she thought of the gym and her eyes got wide and she said, "YOU WERE RUNNING!!" I felt good and bad. Good, that, yeah - I was running! (Said like Forest Gump). Bad, because I guess I'm so fat she was shocked that I could run!

We played basketball yesterday after lunch and my arms were killing me! Sometimes a few new moves can kick my butt. I haven't been on a basketball court in years. We used to play all the time. Girls against guys was always the best! And, yes...I do drink my cals more than I should. I like coffee way more than water, and when I get stuck but am still hungry, I'll have a shake. I want to try and shake the bad habits, and then get an unfill if that doesn't work.

Ebony, you are so right! I, too, am missing food emotionally. I just found that out yesterday at Easter dinner. I MISS being able to eat everything. I just came back from the doctor. He said I was doing okay, but that I wasn't paying attention to the signs and that I was drinking my cals. He could take it out and allow me to eat, but I'd probably gain. In order to start losing again, I should get a slight fill (1/2 cc) and follow the rules. I am trying to get back on track...but emotionally I want food to comfort me. So, I'm going back to square one. On liquids now.

Morning all...I have today off and am going for a fill appt in a little bit. I'm nervous because I haven't lost anything in 6 months! So, I'm not sure how today will go. Sometimes I can eat a horse, and other days water is hard to get down. Not sure what he can do, or if I'll even be able to express it the right way.

PJTP - HAPPY EASTER everyone. As tradition, my DD is at my mother's. Tradition started when I wouldn't get a candy basket, so my mother started getting her one. So, this is a "free-day" for DD and I am not there to witness it. I got DD a basket with a pink and brown volleyball, and some toys, a gym bag that matches the volleyball. It's a cute set, and it matches her room. We're heading over to my mother's to hide the eggs we died yesterday. DH said, "I'm suprised DD is still into that at her age." :cool2: Well, I like it, too darn it, so there's not much to say there. I also got my mother an Easter Lily...now I'm googling to find out how to take care of it.

Long weekend...yay! Saw: Marley and Me - yeah, I cried, cried....cried. Juno - eh...I'll never watch it again, but it wasn't as horrible as I thought. SlumDog Millionaire - same thing. Not my type, but it was okay Bedtime Stories - I actually really like this movie. This wasn't as corny as I thought it would be. Deathproof - I like this kind of movie, so I enjoyed it. :cool2:

All right ya'll...I'm heading to bed. I don't flash folks like SOME people here do. (I won't point out names, Donna) but I do get a little frisky! Everyone - have a great holiday, if I'm not back on by the weekend.
