I have found the downside to being smaller. It is fucking freezing outside right now. And it is like 50. I used to wear shorts in weather like this. WTF. I might actually have to go buy a winter coat.

Yeah, BG me too.

I actually have to think, is the AC going to be on, should I dress in layers? In the past I was a freaking furnace always sweating.

Oh the joy of having a regular internal themometer.

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooo tired and it's big homework day. The internet connection at work is being funky too. Not a good day for that.

I'll check back later.

I hate a lot of things right now.

I want to buy some boots. I'm unable to pull myself away from Zappos.com The boots I want, I really really want cost $291.

How fucking insane is that?! I refuse to spend $100 on a winter coat and I actually am drooling on threefuckinghundred dollar boots.

I need a reality wack in the head.

And I need to get to that pile of homework that is refusing to do itself.

Grumble. grumble.

Oh, I'm not buying those boots. There is no money for that kind of stuff...that's me jonesing is all.

But uber cool exercise news:

There's a boxing gym close-ish to where I work. And there are two people that I work with that go there. I just talked with one of them. The gym has a "three people is cheaper" by the hour package. It's $25 per hour per person, which is pricy, but considering I don't pay for my regular gym and I'd only go the boxing place once a week, I might do it.

Hell, I don't spend money at restuarants and I'm scared to buy clothes and my hair lady is stupid cheap...I could spend a little on this??? Right?

Oh and the aerobars and other bike enhancements will happen in the late winter, early spring with tax money.

I am practically shaking from so much caffiene but I can't seem to get focused.

And, Michigan girl, what's the weather supposed to be like this weekend? I know I could look it up, but if you knew, I wouldn't have to. Think it's bike-able?

Oh, J, you have lost some more....GOOD JOB GIRL!!!!! I love to see other losing some. What the hell kind of boots are they??????????? Freak DH spends about 250 for his steel toed work boots. I can't imagine spending that kind of money on boots either.

Oh, I heart scrubs now. I want to wear them even on my days off from school. They are comfy and plus you don't have to think about what you are going to wear. Just put some on.

JC, are you going to answer me about the computer question? Or are you getting your butter churned again????? Gesshhhh!!!

If you watch the Walmart ads, sometime right before Christmas, they have a PHENOMENAL sale on them. (Or at least have had the last couple years.) I don't like the few they stock on an everyday basis at all, but the ones they got in for the special were great. We picked up two last year for the kids that are Compaq, CD/DVD player AND BURNER and they were under $400 each! It was a midnight madness sale, which I thought was going to really be a nuthouse (which I hate), but it wasn't bad at all. And they lie when they list how limited they are...they had plenty for everyone. They also limit it to one per person, so I took my Mom with me, but they let folks buy more, just on separate transactions.

D, I am using an Acer that I purchased from Wal-Mart. It cost less than 600.00.

You can spend as much as you want on a laptop. The most important thing I look for is the type of processor it has.

If, you go the bargain route like I did, it is better, in my opinion to go with an AMD processor because a "similarly Priced" Laptop with an Intel processor will "Most Likely" have a Celeron or Celeron type of processor, which I do not care for.

The higher end units with a full blown Intel processor are very capable.

Acer= great value good performance. IBM= great performance good value. Toshiba= good value good performance and it can usually withstand a pretty good ass whuppin.

All in all it is a hard question to answer without knowing the person/circumstances/needs and ability of the end-user.

I hope that was helpful, if not we could discuss it on the phone and I could probably get a pretty good (FEEL) sorry couldn't resist, for what would be the best one to purchase.

And to answer your question, I was in the middle of being propositioned about a possible month long stay on one of the Hawiian islands with a sweet little butter churning babe!

      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!!
