Congrats on your approval Kat that's just awesome! I need to lose some more weight because I gotta get rid of this apron...yuck! But, I don't want to do that until I lose at least another 30 pounds or so...that's gonna be a while. I'm just not doing well with my weight right now anyway.

Jrzylioness - Good Luck with your surgery! Don't forget to let us know how you did!

That's it, I am sending all the monkeys out!

I'm here and Betty you can't send out the monkeys cuz I have them here. :huh2:

I had an MRI last night on my knee. The tech told me there is zero cartlidge left. I am walking bone on bone. I need either a miniscus replacement or a partial knee replacement. I also have some lab work on friday. They are checking me for cushings disease. Anyone remember vinesqueen? That's what she had.

I did manage some pictures on my bike last weekend. Here they are:

~Mandy

Can't stay, I'm at work...Welcome to bandland jrsy!!

No monkeys for me...hee, hee

Mandy...I still have prayers for ya! BTW your pics are GREAT! thanks for posting them! Unlike Some people I know who go on vacation and never post a picture...she looks just like my reflection!!!!

Good Morning Y'all!

The storms are over, and we were very lucky not to have any damage. Lots of people here lost everything, or got lots of damage to their homes/bussiness/automobiles.

Mandy I love your pictures! You look fantastic, and I like your bike! What kind is it?

Diane, now that you mention it where are the pictures?????

Welcome to bandland jrzy!

Pass those monkeys on girls, the rest of the crew needs to be woke up!

Betty, my bike is a 1975 Honda cb360t. She's great. I named her Lola. ~Mandy

Please dont send the monkeys out for me!!! I seem to be surrounded by monkeys lately or they may be my coworkers but more and more everyday I think they are a bunch of monkeys!!!

Hey Guys.... I'm at the library, desparate to talk to you all.

My computer still has its bugs -- will need lots of $$$ to fix.

I just wanted to update you on my progress.

I finally got my first fill 2 weeks ago. I eat way less and when I eat something wrong I get this stabbing pain in my left shoulder -- very similar to that gas feeling right after surgery. Is this weird? The fill was quite undramatic, yet strange feeling but the bruise that the dr left was horrendous - ugh! It lasted 2 whole weeks. Nobody ever mentioned that to me!

Last night I took the boys our for a celebration meal at Denneys(the twins passed their Calif exit exam - I was SO proud) and when the server got my order I asked for a senior meal for the smaller portion and I didn't finish my plate. I feel good, but fell off the exercise wagon but will climb back on this week.

The boys and I are doing relatively well. My ex has had several melt downs over his responsiblities and last week I retained a new attorney for my protection. I feel stronger than ever about me, the boys and where life is taking us. We have plans for one super summer vacation, our normal 4 day stay in a local hotel and sunning at the pool:thumbup:

I know that I have missed alot in your lives and as soon as I get my tax return I will get my virus healed and write from home. You all are still my dearest friends and I would never want to lose you.

Heart hugs,
