LOL BEANIE congratulations on getting the job !!!!! This is going to work out perfect for you (with school that is). What will you be doing? I am just so glad that your previous job sent you to NY and that I had the chance to hang out with you Sherry, glad your feeling better sweetie, and listen, you just get better and worry about your fill after things have calmed down. I'm so relieved to know that your DS is better.... bet you can't wait for vacation. Ohhh and its wonderful that you and Chris are EXERCISING (sorry for the dirty language folks, but I had to say the E word). WHOOT you go girl. I need to start sooo bad, especially with the added stress...it will do me good (so I have to tell myself LOL). Betty glad the car is fixed and it was no major item. My sister just had her transmission done.. $2,500 OY!!!! Sooo DH trims the trees and all heck breaks loose on the house eh LOLOL, poor dear. So are you and DH riding bikes yet? its bike season here in NJ, people are going nuts with the warmer weather and there are bikes all over the place.... which I love !!! Crispy, I'm so glad you and Sherry are starting to exercise, although I hate the word, I know I need to do it as well. You both will feel so good !!!! I took DD to the shore yesterday, we had a nice day. I'll post some pictures on the picture thread of the NJ shore in a few minutes. Other than that, its cloudy today and I have alot of cleaning to catch up on. So I'll see you all later. HUGS & KISSES !! Eileen

Hi Reesh and Welcome !!

396 hope your feeling better today and welcome to band land Leatha, I LOVE Charles Stanley too, I saw him a few years ago when he came to preach at a church in South Jersey... he was AWESOME!!!! I even got to shake his hand and I was like oooooooooohhhh. There are two others on TV that I like to watch. Joel Olsteen and Joyce Meyer. I really wanted to start reading the bible again but could not find the time with work, kids, home to sit and read, so I bought a bible on CD for my car... If anyone is thinking of doing that, I highly recommend it... the CD's I got are wonderful and since I spend about 2 hrs in my car a day it just makes driving so nice. Well kids, I just wanted to pop into this great thread and say hello. Also, if you are feeling guilty for having or considering surgery just remember that God wants us to be healthy and happy (the devil is the one who wants us to feel guilty and unhealthy). SMILE !!!! Jesus Loves You!!!!

Good Morning JessAnn's surgery went well yesterday. We left for the childrens hospital in Philly PA yesterday at 3:30 AM and got home last night. The staff was amazing. What seemed to be a thorn in our sides (meaning having to go all the way to philly for the operation) turned out to be a major Blessing. We have to go back in 2 months and then 6 months after that. For those who don't know, my neice has tumors that grow on her vocal chords and if they are not removed they cut off her air flow and she can't breath or talk (well if you can't breath of course you can't talk duh me lol). I feel drunk this morning b/c the night before we left I got no sleep...it was a loooong day. Everything is going well otherwise... no biggie complaints... well I'm really to tired to complain LOL. PATTY !!!!! you go girl, you are in my prayers and I hope that you get a surgery date soon. You so deserve to take care of yourself. Dianne, you too chicklet... heal up and then go for the tummy tuck. You look AMAZING and I'm so proud of you. Beanie love, how did your interviews go? Cindy your day sounded dreamy, I surely could use one of them. I'm so glad your enjoying yourself, your such a wonderful person and you deserve this time. Sherry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How is your DS??? OMG when I saw the pictures on the other thread I almost chit in my pants. Is he feeling any better? is he home? Darcy, enjoy the weekend at your almost new cabin Do you plan on redecorating when you get it? How's dd ? How are you doing on your miles, you still racing around? Betty those pictures made me smile, your flowers are so pretty. How are you feeling dolly? Kat lovie, how are you doing? how is Rick feeling? Congrats on baby Kayce Deb glad the scale is working for you Mandy hope you get the doc results soon.

Hi Girls, Thank you so much for asking about me I'm sorry I haven't posted these past few days. Things have been pretty intense here at work and with the rain/floods. My house is okay but my DH's shop got hit pretty bad. He had 4 feet of water which destroyed his tools and equipment.... Insurance will not pay for it, so we're on our own. The main thing here is that we are all okay and things can be replaced..but people can't. I'm taking my niece to the hospital in PA on friday for her throat operation, it should be a one day afair givin everything goes okay. I am just overwhelmed with work but if anybody want's to email me, let me know and I'll send you my work addy. Its easier to read my emails then to come here if ya know what I mean All is good and I'll try to catch up with you all on the weekend. I need a fill BAD !!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMFAO!! Love yah's

Well lookie at all of you. Mr. Pat, its good to hear from you and I'm so glad your feeling better. Are you allowed to start exercising this early after surgery? I ask b/c most folks are told to wait 6 weeks and then shoot for the moon. Its been 1 1/2 years for me and I still haven't started exercising ROFLMFAO !!! LOLOL pathetic aren't I Cindy, how did you know I celebrated by cleaning my house LOL.... well your WRONG !!! I only cleaned my kitchen LOLOL I was patient but very very stressed out regarding the job... DH is very happy for me, I just hope I can do the new job and do it good (gee that sound naughty). Watcha doing tonight with out the wee one? Patty Patty Patty... you are so brave and stronge. I know that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle. And some times He even sends you Ebay packages with trains in them heheheheheee it was a train right? It does suck that you are responsible for that money...its not fair. Deb, glad the kiddies are feeling better. Did you go back to work this week? Its great that you met your DH online. I know alot of folks who meet their others online... COOL !!! I met my DH in a bar... I thought he accidently took my drink (because the bartender placed it on the bar near him instead of me) so I turned to him and said excuse me but is that drink yours?? he was like ohhh no, I don't do shots. We started talking and well.....we just celebrated our 17th year of marriage heheheeee Its time for me to put on my jamies..... so with that.. GOOD NIGHT SWEETHEARTS :mad:

Good Morning, Darcy how exciting, what kind of business is your sister starting? Good luck w/the cabin Jenny, wow, your amazing. I am from bergen county NJ and had my surgery in Hackensack. I should be losing more weight but its my fault, not the band, I can't seem to stay away from junk food, and well exercising would help if I would get my lazy arse to do it. I've heard so many good things about morristown and dr. bertha... your in good hands. I also have bc/bs of NJ insurance. I'm glad your here and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. Well ladies, I'm gonna do some cleaning later but mostly rest b/c I have to get rid of this cold thats been following me around for the past 2 weeks. Tomorrow we are expecting a nor easter ... depending on the way it goes it could be lots of rain or snow...ick! How is everyone... I've really missed you all.

Hi Everyone, Mr. Pat, with each passing day your going to feel better and better. Although it hurts, burp burp burp, get that gas out and keep walking around, don't sit to long b/c its not good for the gas or your circulation. 16 lbs is wonderful, your off to a great start. The scariest part of the surgery for me was going under too. I feared I wouldn't wake up and I'd leave my DD behind. So, your fears are well shared among all of us. Have a great Easter !! I hope there is something you can drink to satisfy the taste buds. Beanie, I PM'd you. What are you doing for Easter? is DH cooking a nice fancy meal for you? Crispy, your trip with Sherry sounds like fun !!! I'm glad you and tattoo boy are working things out. He does sound worth it... so do you Missy!!! Deb, glad the little one is feeling better. I agree, staying home is nice but not when they are sick. Well kiddo's, I've got to get ready to visit the inlaws. Then its home to do some cooking for tomorrow's Easter dinner. I'll prob have about 15 people .... enuf ! And I still have more cleaning to do.... the floors, the play/exercise room, the bathrooms. So, if I do not talk to you later... HAPPY EASTER Jesus Lives
