LOL...unfortunately, there is enough of me to go around! I hope I don't dissappoint...I am the girliest, femme femme, fu fu lesbian ever! I'll try to butch it up for pix for Judy's friends!

I am all about Graceland, but I can do the $27 tour (I think I saw 3 options). I, like Terry, am a Beatles girl. I wanna go to Graceland to 1) say I've been there 2) take a few pix and 3) sing along to all the songs w/ Kat (I'll start practicing now). But at the same time, I don't need to see the graves, etc. Hell...do you all know, that I've had sex in Elvis' swimming pool at his Honeymoon Hideout in Palm Springs (aaahhhh youth). So I am kinda "over" the Elvis mania...just wanna pop over to have the experience!

Anyone wanna go to NY...give Jenn some Valuim and drag her booty on the plane?

Well Terry----if the yellow submarine were there, I would be right with you!!! But to be that close and not go---------nah--better take it in while I can!! BUT-------------I want in on the pampering too!!!

And TracyK---if you promise not to blow smoke in my face(!!!!can't you just see you cornering me and shotgunning me with smoke!!!) I could cope! Rick says I have pretty much quit snoring.....unless....I have a few to drink, so ya might as well count me as a snorer! However I sleep with a snorer everynight, so that is not likely to bother me a bit!!!

So I called my cousin this morning, he is an hour ahead of us, and told him what my Mom said. He is her favorite on my Dad's side. He is my age, has been with his partner for over 20 years. He obvioulsy has better judgement than I did!!! So, I told him he was now a lesbian in Moms eyes, he laughed, and is going to call her later to give her a hard time!!! She is going to flip! She and my Dads sister went for awhile not speaking because my Aunt said something crappy about him. I was so proud of my Mom, she is usually non confrontational to the max--so her standing up was shocking!

I have to go to the store and pick up a couple things, we are having our son and his little family over for the game, and I am cooking of course---nothing major, and something my grandson can hopefully eat without a huge mess!!! Think I will cook some of those little smoked sausages for him, good hand food!

Albq. is only 185 miles away---and the differences are shocking! When we got there, there was no snow, not even on the Sandia mountains! Here it is still dang near a foot deep on the ground after melting for days....

OK gotta go ask Laura some ??? on the other thread about her contest!

Kat-forget about it then! If I can't blow smoke straight in your face all hors of the day & night then what fun would it be? LOL If you are sure it won't bother you i would love to be your roomie! I just really do not want it to bother you! Please let me know, I can take the truth :smile:

Yeah I spit out my coffee when I read the 'butch it up' comment. Judy needs some good show & tell pics. Hehehe.

I don't like Elvis (I am a huge Beatles fan too :smile: ) but I do want to see the museum for the experience. I'm not payin for the fancy schmancy tour tho lol.

I am fine with you at any time TracyK--or anyone else! I don't expect to be spending tons of time holed up in a little motel room--unless we are sleeping, and even when I smoked my heaviest, I never perfected the sleep smoking thing!! And any time at all in the casinos, and it will be smoky---so I am fine! And if you or anyone else needs some alone, down time....I can always go see how the orgy is going....down in the preachers wife's room!!!! LMAO!!!!

I do suggest whoever rooms with Laura first check out the ceiling, for any new hook placements!!!! Sorry Laura--I HAD to say it!

I agree the cheaper Elvis tour is great----I am not a die hard---but would still like the overall---I have never been! I love seeing new things--so this is going to be great!!! I plan on doing, and seeing, and enjoying every minute!!! I'll do the spa, mani/pedi if someone else is going, but I am not going to spend all that time by myself, when my plan is to go meet y'all!!!

Getting a bit excited here!!

And Pamela---I can get Jen by the ankles, you grab her arms, and we will drag her!!!!!!!!!

Jen--we HAVE to figure something out! Drugs! Something--you HAVE to be there!

Good afternoon, Violets. Ok, we're JUST about ready to leave for florida. The Bobster had an emergency counseling session after church so we are getting a late start, but we'll make it.

I too don't want the $68 tour of Graceland, but either of the other two prices would be fine.

Do we have everyone rooming with someone now?? We really have to get our heads together and see if there is any way we can get Jen to this shindig. Train was suggested, but it's a 2 day trip.:smile: Anyone else have any ideas????????

I'll check in here when I can. Everyone have a great week.

Elvis has left the building!!

A train is a 2 day trip? OMG, I would have thought it was faster than that! I guess I watch too many movies.

I am gonna do the spa thing too. I have never had a massage (proffesionally anyway) or a pedi and it has been 18 years or so since I had a facial....I am TOO excited!

Hi girls! Ya'll have been busy on here. When I got out of church this afternoon I logged on and was able to read but as soon as I went to post the site went down. I just got back from a movie and wanted to check in with ya'll. I think Michelle is my roomate so I'm all set. I was looking at the flights to Memphis and they're really really high. It might be cheaper to fly to St. Louis and catch a ride with Jane. Jane, you have room still? Let me know...

Yeah... me & Haydee (sorry Jane, it was in the works by the time I read your post... but I think Mazie's Mom's still free!!)... is that everyone?? Maybe we should post the entire list again?? I've lost track -- ah the freedom of not being the organizer!!

I sure wish one of you violets could go bathing suit shopping with me for this trip. I suck at buying bathing suits. Never really had to do it before, so I am lost when it comes to that.

      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!!
