You all thanks so much for sweet thoughts about Christopher. My daughter now GETS IT. That special bond between a son and his mother.She and I will fight the girls off him, no heartbreakers! ((smiles))This:Originally Posted by PrtyAntOvrYt Brandy, I posted it, but I hated doing so!My UGBF (upgraded boyfriend) - told me that he's fallen in love with me. He says he loves everything about me. In October, we are going to spend some time together. I'm looking forward to it. He says, I won't know how much he loves me until we are together in person.Sigh -- heavy sigh~...................We're dropping like flies in love here. Crazy crazy. Well congrats on the upgrade.I love reading all these life moments that are happening.

Thanks Lapdancer!

It is nice to be in Love!

It makes the entire world brighter!!!

If I were you, I'd be giving that baby lots of extra kisses! My brother hated me when he was a baby! I was 10 years old when he was born and I used to kiss him constantly! Eventually, it became a punishment, "If you don't pick up your toys, Dee Dee is going to kiss you!" Boy did that little toddler run to pick up his toys! He's in his 30's now and I still feel like kissing him! He's just so cute!

Dee-I think it's so cute that you're all in love like a schoolgirl...Awww!!

Brandy & Shelbi-Hey buddies! Good to hear from both of you!

Mal-I am also sending extra catch up prayers for your sons friend. How scary!! It sounds like he is going to be lucky though, it could have been much worse than it was.

Mini-Give Gracie some kisses and hugs from all of us! Her kennel cough will be gone before you know it. Are her and Keeley getting along well?

Lap-I cannot begin to tell you how much I adore the pic of the munchkin smiling...so adorable!! Yup, he's going to have the girls chasing after him for sure!:biggrin:

Sorry folks, I don't have much to say tonight. I had a momentary lapse of reason and went in to work extra Monday night in the unit I keep getting floated to. It was actually not a bad night. I ended the morning by getting a 22 year old that was passed out in a bar parking lot and someone ran him over. Yup, you heard me right. He had a nice tire track from his nipple line all the way to his naval. And he only had a broken finger. Can you believe that? :thumbup: He was lucky indeed.

We are still waiting to hear if my sister got the police job. I REALLY hope she does now, because she informed me tonight that if she doesn't, she is going to deploy to Iraq for a year. I really just don't think I can handle her and my stepson being deployed at the same time!:angry: I personally think she has lost her dang mind....

Miss Munchkin!

I am loving this new Love in my life! Last night he was in the airport in Bangkok waiting his flight for New Delhi. He insisted I go to sleep and I insisted I didn't need sleep -- I just wanted to talk. Well, we agreed I'd go to bed in 17 mins... that would be midnight my time. Time flew and I finally got to sleep after 3:30am! AND I woke this morning totally refreshed!

I feel like a teenager and my Mom is going to come in my bedroom and tell me, "get to sleep!"

One time when I was dating my ex fiance -- I was in high school at the time. We were telling each other goodbye in the drive by his car. We kissed and talked and realized it was cold. So we got in his car and continued our Good-byes... Soon the windows were totally fogged over and we heard this knocking on the passager window... my fiance was on the passanger side, since I just scooted in the driver's side -- he cleared the window and there was my Mom with rollers in her hair, her robe and slippers yelling -- "Isn't it time for bed?"

Yikes! I was so embarrassed! I could have died! When I got in the house, I saw the clock and realized I had been out there saying Goodbye for almost 2 hours!

ahhh Love makes you just lose track of time!!

Dee-that is so funny! I also had my fair share of getting car windows knocked on by parents moments!! I was kind of a hoochie when I was a teenager!:biggrin: (OMG, did I just admit that on the internet?)

Happy Birthday Denver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun at your foot spa party!!!!

Brandy-I love, love, love your daughters description of her reflux. As a nurse, I can definantly say that if a little one said that to me, I would be giggling to myself, but secretly wondering what the heck they were talking about! Good thing momma is there to translate to the healthcare professionals!

Ok folks....my sister just called and said she got her letter in the mail from the police dept....but here is the kicker....she had the neighbor look in the mailbox and she is still an hour away at work at Camp Lejune!! I am going to DIE from curiosity!! (And worry now that she has a hair up her hiney about Iraq!) Everyone, please send good vibes our way!!!!!!

Total drive by post here!

I just wanted to let you al know that I am lurking often, my computer is not cooperating so posting is difficult.

My son's friend probably will not be able to walk again and may not have use of his hands,w will know more when he starts PT I guess??? He will be in ICU for 10 more days then transfers to Craig for inpatient PT. This has taken a major toll on all of our emotions. Thanks for the prayers.

I will have to catch up on all the posts once my computer is fixed, my laptop crapped out too..ugh!

well wishes to all!

Here is a couple pictures of jeans that I wore on our trip to Paris in May. They fit tight on the trip. These were taken when we went to the sand dunes 2 weeks ago.

Oh Mal,

What a sadness! I am so sorry to hear that he will have such devastating residual problems. Such a simple night of play between freinds ended so badly. I am so sorry! How is your son doing?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
