Love the picture of Claire!!!!!!!!

Laura that is great about the daycare place. I think alot of the best are the neighborhood ones that don't have to advertise!!

I go back to the Dr. on the 3rd of March. I really think I have done pretty well. I am kinda anxious to hear what he has to say and planned.

Alright off to do nothing!!

Good morning! Gorgeous day here. Sunny but a little chilly. Last night I went home and just snuggled on the couch with juan and watched american idol. Today I plan on doing some light cleaning and some laundry. This sun just gives me energy!

Good Weds Morn, Vi's~~

Regular day here today, work, laundry, house stuff, & kids to activities.

DD's best barn friend's mom (I'd guess my age-ish) had a mild heart attack on Monday! She's supposed to come home from the hospital today. I'm making a pot of veggie-beef Soup, cheese drop bisquits, and something for dessert, I'm thinking apple cobbler or something fruity & light like that to take to them tomorrow. So scary.

My sis & Mom are planning a Disney trip for the end of April & I can't go! :eek: I just can't swing it financially, no matter how I try to finagle the numbers, drat it all! So, contrary to popular belief, I do *not* always get my way or get to go wherever I want whenever I want to. But, I'm having fun helping them plan! It's all good when it comes to Disney! (The joke around here is that I can duct-tape one of those Mickey antenna boppers to Mo's tail, and shave a "hidden Mickey" into his backside, to remind me where all my $$ has gone! hardy har har, my family is soooo funny! :wink:)

Am doing well w/food... last night I had a few meat tortellini in red sauce, salad, and homemade from scratch focaccia bread w/caramalized onions, parm cheese, and italian herbs blended in -- yes, I made this on a Tuesday night, yeast dough & rising & all! I had the recipe for the focaccia, I totally improvised on the mix-ins... & it worked! Mm!

Ok, off to work. Everyone make it a great day!

Laura, I would report that inappropriate daycare. I can't believe the parents find it acceptable in the first place. It is not good for the children to be undersupervised and the first two years are vital to their future development. Becoming baby zombies does not bode well for a bright successful future.

Michelle, sorry about the no Disney bit. I haven't been there since my son was 8 lol. I have forgotten what it is like.

Judy, I meant to tell you last night, I was reading People, and just happened to see "Making Toast", and started laughing. I tried to explain, but it wasn't nearly as funny as in my mind!!!

Salmon patties? I like the idea that they are introducing different kind of foods though!

Haydee I watched American Idol last night, and wasn't really impressed with anyone. I like it when they get down to 12.

Okay did anyone else besides me cry uncontrollably when the girl who lost her mother on Sunday skated? Oh my gosh!!!! I am thinking I am too pms or something....

Pam, when do you officially move?

Okay off to work!!!!!!!

Jane.. that's where I saw it too, in People magazine! Just finished it last night. It was ok, but I don't think I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars like they did.

I'm tackling the new Stephen King book... Under the Dome. Bob got it in hardcover for me for Christmas. I've been so into the books on the Kindle, I haven't gotten around to starting it yet, but today is the day. Now I have to carry a big, old, heavy book around with me instead of the snappy, little Kindle.

So now my sis is e-mailing me and saying that she & Mom will pay what they'd spend on me for my b'day & Xmas toward the Disney trip if I'll go with them! Ack! She's killing me!

Although that is very kind of them, and it does get it into a more do-able $ range... when I shut my eyes and imagine myself there w/them... something's missing -- my kids! I don't think I can go without them! If they were going pretty much anywhere else... to the Grand Canyon or a beach or the moon... then I'd go, too... but Disney? It's OUR place, the kids & mine. I think it'd be to mean to them, to know I was there and they weren't. But maybe I'm just being overemotional?

I know that my sis & Mom are offering a wonderful gift... but it's also an inexplicably heartwrenching one, too.

I don't think I can do it!

But then I think about my whole "Life is Short -- Live Now!" philosophy and I think I should go!

Brain pinball!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
