too hard 2 type cuz wearing gloves as part of kinky sex... KIDDING. I spent a fortune on a French manicure so I gotta live in rubber gloves till you are all 2 intoxicated to noitice. Vine, talk about a fraud... I'm gonna pretend my nails always look like this.

I got your cream chz & crackers, Michelle.

Everyone, I'm off work tomorrow cleaing .... try my numbers & maybe I can come get u from airport - first come first serve. 702 269-9220 h 702 419-6054 cell

I'm so hyped... u should all see me spinnning in circles!

BUT oh noooooo... I screwde up big (huge) in the booze dept if you can believe that! It occured to me after buyingt all the ingredients that most peeps don't do carbonation, so I'm leaving my mixers out till they go flat... also, I forgot many don't do sugar, so how am i gonna make DeLarla's Toxic Tea ? I'm just gonna do it! I got some diet snapple tea & Water

Nothing went my way at the store, so I'm winging it with the recipes! SORRY, I should be shunned from the world of hostesses because there's no real crab at my market and I don't have time to hunt it down. Horrifying, I know! So I'm making seafood rangoons w/ shrimp & imitation crab & figuring out these chinese meatballs as I go along. Life's like a box of chocolates ya know!

GET HERE NOW.

Coyote, don't worry, thanks for NOT bringing too much. I've got tons to ship. Just bring you & the crayons & small stuff.

Someone grab Trish on the way - don't tell her hubby. xoxo SMOOOCH... can't wait to squeeze you people.

Wait? are you calling me a fraud? or outing your self you silly goose? It's almost midnight, and I'm wired. Oh sure, I just spent the last 4 hours working on my accounting homework. (may I take this opportunity to thank all the accounting majors out there? Since you like that work, there is no danger ever of me having to take any job that even closely resembles accounting...)

New groups of people really do scare me. Yeah, yeah, I know, the wost that can happen is that I'll be stomped to death. Again. No big deal, I know. But still, large clusters of people make me panic. Of course, it won't be like The Bite of Seattle... oh dear god...

I'm trying very hard to not talk myself out of going. Not to late to miss my flight...

Every morning I force myself out of bed against my will. After showering, I put makeup on to look like someone I'm not. Then I use deodorant so I don't have to smeel like a real woman. After drinking a soy shake that I don't like, I head to work where I plaster a fake smile on my face all day and pretend I'm someone I'm not. Am I a fraud? Yep, but I prefer the term Actress. Better yet, movie star.

Thanks Jenna.

Yeah, I'd peg you as a movie star too... :( Sorry you have to force all those things. I guess the only thing I can say to help you though that is ... may the force be with you!

VEGAS WEATHER

The wind just kicked up a bit. Hubby's been working on the yard and was thrilled that it finally cooled off. We probably won't see 100 this weekend, but you still only need summer clothes with highs in the 90s.

You might want to bring a little sweater or a pashmina (shawl) for inside air-conditioned casinos/restaurants. I'm still living in sleeveless & shorts. Capris at the most. But I always tie a pashmina on my purse when I go out (makes my purse cute, too.) This way I have a little wrap in case I get cold.

Also, if you've never flown into Vegas, the wind and heat might cause some extra turbulence. I've had my bumpiest rides coming into Vegas. If you're nervous, it's completey normal.

      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!!
