  • Another day.

    Tuesday, April 8, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Hello gang!
    Well - just another day at work. Just had 3 days off (which is nice - the first time I've had an entire weekend off this year.), and had to come back to work (BOO!) Got to pay the bills I guess. We've got abusy day today with 3 football (I mean soccer for those of you across the pond!) matches - all very busy. Lots of people need to get there and then go home. Don't k...

  • Update from yesterday

    Tuesday, December 30, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Blah...I've been soooo exhausted.
    And not to mention soooo irritable. I'm a smoker, so since finding out I was pregnant, I  have not had a cigerette and do not plan on it either. But wow, it is SO hard. Especially because I am so stressed out. Phew...so that's that.
    Chas comes home tomorrow, THANKFULLY. It's been almost 2 weeks since he left for Florida and I miss him so much...

    Sunday, May 31, 2009 | A Rambling story

    I'm going to try to post in my journal....I tend to ramble on.  I'm a 48 year old female, married to the most wonderful man in the world 4 years ago.  I became disabled almost 2 years ago from FMS, RA, OA,anxiety and depression.  Our world has changed considerably from my loss of income.  We've lost a truck and our boat and had to sign our land over to my mother-in...

  • Frustration

    Monday, December 10, 2012 | A Rambling story

    Today is Monday. I have spent my day dealing with issues and crisis's. My son's fiance' blew a job interview because she didn't prepare like I told her to and then called me in panic mode because she wasn't going to get there in time, wasn't dressed right, didn't follow my directions, etc. She admitted that perhaps she should have prepared better. Ya think??? They agreed to interview her on Wedne...

  • Overwhelmed with school

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 | A Rambling story

    I have to finally admit to myself I am overwhelmed!
    This is my second term at UO after attending a community college. I had such a comfort level at the other, smaller, less young people, college! My grades were awesome and i graduated there with high honors... All fine and dandy!
    Then I move over here to attend U of O and it is soooo different! I knew it was going to be, and I guess I know I wil...

  • Tears of joy?

    Saturday, May 4, 2013 | A Rambling story

    So... This last week seems all I do is cry! But its weird, not sad tears, at least I don't think they are... I think its because this is all becoming real for me. That I am allowing myself to believe I won't be 300ish pds the rest of my life...
    That I am going to lose enough to fit into the
    desks comfortably at my college. That I will be able to walk around campus without my cane and in tons of ...

  • Something JJ said about smells...

    Saturday, May 11, 2013 | A Rambling story

    So, the other day JJ made a comment about smells of delicious foods... This has been rolling around in my head ever since...
    When trying to eat wise (I refuse to use the D word!) often I hated smelling foods that I loved but was trying to stay away from.
    For example, I take the bus to and from school... two days a week, at the time I come home, this local Mexican restaurant is getting into full...

    The following is just some messages between Rochelle and i... I felt a need to save it as I think it could prove to be a good reminder when we are feeling for others who have not yet ventured into WLS land :)

  • Said goodbye to Terry's Chocolate Orange

    Sunday, May 12, 2013 | A Rambling story

    Today I bought a Terry's chocolate orange... It was my splurge for mothers day.... And my goodbye to chocolate before surgery... In the past, if I were to buy one of these for a treat, I would have ate it all. But I gave a bunch of it away! I gave probably 8 pieces to Rich jr. and 4 or 5 to Rich sr.... What I ate was plenty!
