This pic was taken just out of Swansea Bay. There was a cigarette boat race going on and they were taking pics from a helicopter of all the boats out there. We peeked at the website and saw ours. Geesh I think $80 for an 8x10 shot was rediculous so I just highjacked the samples. They have the company's name on them but, that's ok lol.

Kat - I think I am going to clean my bike up later, I'll take a picture of it then since it looks different with the new mirrors etc. It's pretty dirty now since we got caught in the rain again last weekend.

Betty: Can I come visit your house? It's the kind of home I dream of. You are a very lucky girl. :kiss2: :kiss2:

Morning all,

I'm hot and sticky this morning and the thermometer is on the rise. :girl_hug: Yesterday day my school had a carnival where I was suppose to be the cotton candy girl, except the machine blew a fuse. Oh, well. The boys got to see the school where I work and there were games and prizes to win. By the time we got home is was near impossible to cool down the house.

Not much going on here except that tempers rise with the heat and with 4 monsters my guess we're in for a doozy. Wish me luck!

Hey Y'all,

Well, I didn't get the bike cleaned up, I worked some more in the yard, then went in the pool, got my laundry done and then went back in the pool. It was too hot to clean my bike by then, so I just forgot it.

Sherry - What a handsome boy you have there! The squirrels here drive us crazy, in that one picture did you notice the flag was down and hanging in the tree? Well we had a beautiful big texas flag hangin there, and the squirrel didn't want it there so first he chewed some holes in it, then he took it down and stuffed it in the tree. A couple of weeks later he pulled it down and it is where he left it now. We are seeing just what he plans on doing with it. The squirrel also ate up my DH hammock! The new bike y'all got is really sharp. I have a big bike, it is a Harley, it is the Herritage Softtail Ultra Classic. I don't really use books for my flowers, however, the Neil Sperry book is a good one that a lot of people use down here.

Mary - Boy, I sure hope that back feels better soon! Backaches are not fun!

Darcy - I absolutely love that picture! I guess today was the day for posting pictures. Hope the leg is doing better for you!

Eileen - Those are Crape Myrtle trees (probably spelled it wrong) and I have them in white, light pink, med pink, dark pink, light lavender, and purple. We can't grow lilac's down here because of the heat, but these are a lot like them, but they don't smell the same. They bloom from spring till freeze, so they are good for Texas, and they love the heat.

Patty - Yes, you can come to my house anytime!:biggrin1: It took me a long time to get a house like this, and I love it too! I will be staying here for the rest of my time. I have a huge kitchen that I really love! So, Missy, come on over! Girl, you need to invest in a small air conditioner!

Kat - I am still thinking about you sweety, please keep us updated!

Cindy - Sure hope you are enjoying your trip!

Dianne - Hope you are feeling better. Hey, that's great that you'll be here more often, hopefully I can too sometime.

Beanie - Hope you are enjoying the vacation!

Pat - Enough Vacation for you lady, we need to hear from you!:girl_hug:

Anne - Did you get all those flowers planted?

Well, if I missed you, I am sorry, I am getting tired and ready to call it a day. So catch you all tomorrow!

Good Morning Y'all,

Gosh, I can't believe it is Monday already! Where oh where does the weekends go? Now, if only our work week would go so fast!:rolleyes::D

Eileen - Awwww so sorry DD is sick, hope you can enjoy some of your day at least. I hope she feels better soon, nothing worse than a sick child.

Hey, you can party at my house any time.:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Thanks for the compliments. I am with you on the eating, I just have to get back on track, I have played long enough. I keep telling myself I don't need another fill, and I really don't want one, I just have to stop eating the wrong stuff. It's so easy to fall back on the food that got us here to start with. I can't seem to eat enough ice cream! Enough already, and back to the basics.

Sherry - Today is the day to get the new bike!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I know you must be excited! Yes, it is very peaceful at the pool, there is a lot of birds chirping. We have a spa attached that overflows in the pool and the waterfall is so relaxing. It's nice to put me to sleep!:biggrin1: Sometimes the birds come down and sit on the spa ledge and drink or take a bath, and it's so neat to lay there watching them. I have to be very careful not to fall asleep though because in this Texas sun, you would burn up pretty fast!

Well, it's that time, gotta hit the road and go to work. Everyone have a great day/vacation or whatever you are doing today. Just don't forget to wear clean underware when you go out, Mama always told me to do that just in case something happens to ya!:D :D :D

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
