Yikes! Time has flown and sitting here watching American Idol tonight, I suddenly remembered "hey I have a blog"! Then I forgot my logon (a bad sign!) and then couldn't believe the last date - yikes yikes yikes!
Anyway ... first off the weight loss! Yay - how fun is it to say "loss"? woohoo!!! To date, I've lost 26 lbs (give or take a couple either way) and can't wait to get a fill this Saturday. Yeppers, we're heading to Mexico - land of way too many earthquakes lately (none on Saturday please!).
This will be my first fill in the lapband and I'm not sure what to expect - I just don't wanna look at the needle! LOL! I have enough trouble with blood getting drawn - I certainly don't wanna see something going IN! I'm hoping the fill will give me some restriction - right now I've recovered from the surgery (thanks to Michelle and Buffy for ears, hearts and shoulders that I leaned on a LOT during my bouts of insanity and panic attacks); felt great when I didn't have hunger (mistakenly thought "hey whadya know, this is easy"), and then sadly discovered the thing they call "bandster hell" ... ay yi yi - the hunger comes BACK - and I think its very annoyed to be ignored so long! LOL! Sadly, I can eat pretty much anything I want ... not a good thing, but most days I do okay. But I've hung in (I've read that lots of people gain back all the weight they lose post-surgery) and I'm patting myself on the shoulder that I'm swinging only a couple of pounds up and then down. Good job me! hee hee hee
Second -- NASCAR is back!!! Waving to Dani (wooohooo chica, its baaaackkkkk!!!). The boys have been very busy with scout stuff so I've been watching the races alone, and totally enjoying it! First off, ESPN is nowhere around and Fox is back in control - yay yay yay! I love the crew - they are the BEST! The boys are off to the California race this Sunday (yet another meet and greet with hubby's man-wife Jimmie Johnson!) and great seats as well. Hopefully it won't rain (egads, hadn't even considered that thought - they'd have to go back on Monday? Yeah, that would be a fun excuse to tell the school huh?) Dani and I are hoping Tony wins soon so he can cut his hair! By the way, check out the funny Toyota commercial - http://youtube.com/watch?v=FNgalNFZt-c Gotta say the hair looks good on Tony in that one!
Third -- Brian helped me clean out my scrapbook room ... oh my gosh ... so so so so much stuff and way too little a room for it all!! We set up crates like they do with Clean House all labeled and we just tossed like crazy. I'm donating quite a bit to our Troop fundraising garage sale - yeehaw it'll be out of the room! I still have to go thru all the magazines and idea books (have 3 crates of those -- goodness), but most will be trashed and recycled. It felt SO good to finally see under the desk and in all the boxes ... ay yi yi ... yet again, so much stuff! LOL!
We all worked in the front garden this Saturday morning - our yard made the house look like it was in foreclosure so we all went out (yes, even me, for the first time in at least 5 years) ... we hacked, cut, sweat and filled up 2 huge trash containers with weeds and dreck ... and there's still more to go! Yeah, it was bad, but at least now it looks somewhat improved. We would have done more but we had an Eagle Court of Honor to attend (congrats to our 51st Eagle Scout, Jonathan), and then had to run out to the Scout House in Camarillo. It was a really nice day out ... we'll have to do that again! LOL!
