Most Embarrassing Moment Anyone?
ROFLMFAO !!!! I can relate to that one. My dad, brother, nephew's (4 of them) all Richards. My cousins used to call my Dad "uncle dick." PUDDINPIE OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! both of them are soooooooooooooo freakin funny. I was just getting in the office, about 7:30 am and I was hanging my coat up. My boss was behind me and I saw something out of the corner of my eye go running about 90 mph across the floor, black and fast. I screamed on the top of my lungs WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOOO, grabbed my bosses arm, like I was gonna hit that thing with him. He leans over, pickes it up and says.... is this button yours. FRIG, it was a button that fell off my coat. Talk about being embarassed. I laughed so hard I almost peed in my pants. I must have been red all day LOL. I told him I was sorry for screaming so loud LOLOL. I still laugh.

How did you determine your goal weight?
Doc says I should weigh about 175 - 180 (in a pigs ass). I feel more comfortable at 160 - 165. Thats where I'm hoping to go, but if I'm 175 - 180, I don't think I'll bitch I've determined this from the past and how I felt.

Today I get to call the insurance company (AGAIN) to see if they have the predetermination # for me. If not, then I'm gonna scream.

When I got home, I made dinner, cleaned, let DD make ghost cookies (the pre packaged ones) and I made a whopping big bowl of tuna salad for tonights dinner and lunches for DD.

Cindy, congratulations on the new pant size WHOOHOOO!!!! It is an awsome milestone. Don'tcha just love playing hookey Betty, congratulations on the 2 lb loss !! WTG SIS !!!!! Pat, crab eggs...G-R-O-S-S-S-S-S, sorry but ick !! LOLOLOL Gotta ask, can you really taste them? ick, bleh. Beanie, do you really think George has something to do with it ROFLMFAO !!!! $cha-ching$ I'm just sick of everything going up. My property taxes went up $2,000 this year alone. I don't know about you all but we pay $7,100.00 in property taxes. It just kills me to have to set aside $150.00 a week out of my pay just for stinkin taxes. Two paychecks can just about make it here, unless of course your Donald *funky hair* Trump. Okay rant over. Beanie let us know what BCBS has to say this time. HUGS !!! Oh.... I had my burger *burp* and they gave us a candy bar and a small bag of chips. Its nice to have a company party, especially after they just layed off a bunch of people. Go figure. (We're talking 3,000 people at this site alone).

Good Morning Oh Beanie, have hubby give you a good rub down. Sorry you got achy before finishing. But I'm right there with you. There's not much I can do b/4 I pooh out. Hope your feeling better today. Take something to help with the muscle aches. Lets see... its MONDAY!! ick. lol. Boss man is off site until 12:30 pm today so I get to play for a few hours **naughty grin** Whats everyone got planned for the week? anything exciting? Nothing much here, just gonna work my arese off b/c I'll be out starting next monday, so I wanna make sure I leave the office with my stuff done. To many needy people here so I wanna make sure they are gonna be okay while I'm gone. The company is having a picnic today at noon. The picnic consists of a dry ass burger, and some gross beans LOLOL !!! Gee I can't wait. ...... I know I know... I'm such an ungreatful bit*h. But when you work hard, and you hear they are making a ton of money, management gets bonuses after bonuses and you get a dry ass burger. It just doesn't excite me. Other than that, the sun is out and its just so darn beautiful here. Breezy and cool. Well coffee is ready and I need some oatmeal. So I'll catch you all later... HUGS

Good Afternoon Its pretty chilly here today and very WINDY!! love it, feels like a fall day. I kept pretty busy today. Did some sewing, cleaned out a few cabinets in the kitchen. cleaned the fish tank, made a meat loaf for the week. I'm trying to put together a list of clear liquids I'll need for next week (ohhhhhhh gosh), and since juice is on sale at the store I'll get a few bottles. Two weeks of clear liquids egads! Beanie, Home Depot ICK!!! lol. I think its all a crock about the heating bills going up this year. Its just an excuse for the gas company to jump on the "raping the public" band wagon. We will be wearing extra socks and sweats this winter thats for sure. Have fun planting today Karla, gee, hope your feeling better soon. Especially having to go back to work so soon. My doc is giving me 4 - 6 weeks off (well w/disability of course). I'm taking every day that I can. Pat, I'm a little muddled too, what is a she-crab? I'm glad you had a good time at the seafood fest. I hate clothes shopping too. I can never find anything that fits right. I need tops bigger than the bottom but the bottoms are always to short. If my legs didn't look like pillers I'd wear dresses more. I do like to go shopping for decorations and stuff like that. Also Toys R Us for my DD. Thats always fun. Well back to reading and then its off to the grocery store HUGS

Betty enjoy your racing tonight. My brother loves Jeff Gordon and my sister loves Earnhart Sr. My neighbors love nascar as well. The only sport I can watch is Hockey I don't blame you for not wanting to go out to eat. No one know's you better than you so if going out is going to set you up for failure, don't go. Good call. Did you get to go riding today? It actually turned out to be a very nice day here Ira, nope, not yet. I'm supposed to call the insurance company on tuesday. They did the same thing to the other woman in my office. They made her wait until a few days b/4 the surgery to approve her OY!..... But in the mean time, I have to finish up all the doc visits and testing or I'll never get into surgery. Today was pre admission testing at the hospital. Don't blink around here, you never know what you'll miss Where's Beanie ?

How do you deal with nosey people....

Weekend (non)Eating Stategy
Okay...... this used to work for me when I lost 150 lbs. You really need to train the brain. Tell yourself that the wings, fries, pizza will always be here, it will be here tomorrow as well but for today, I'm going to pass. food will always be on earth, we won't. Let me make this a good day. Take it one meal at a time. I used to say this to myself over and over and over and over.... BRAIN WASH YOURSELF!! No, its not easy, but its worth a try. Also tell yourself that it doesn't taste as good as it looks. ENJOY LIFE !!!! Delarla, remember the theme from the Mary Tyler More show? .... imagine me singing this to you "your gonna make it after all." I can picture you singing this to yourself and then throwing your helmut in the air ROFLMFAO !!!!
