How surgery went and how I’m feeling
Well, some people have been calling, emailing and texting to see how I’m feeling. And I thought noone noticed. Here’s the scoop. BEFORE SURGERY Due to issues with my insurance I actually didn’t know for sure until late Thursday morning that I could have the surgery. Talk about stressful! That whole situation made me want [...]
Weighty words – Surgery today
Well surgery is today. I leave for the hospital in about twenty minutes. I’m nervous, excited and even a little sad. I enjoy eating. I wonder if I’ll miss it as much as I think. I wish it were simple. I wish I’d stayed in shape. I wish I could resist food. I wish I [...]
Haagen Daz Five review and giveaway
Last week I received a delivery. That in itself is nothing unusual. What was unusual about this delivery is that the contents were packed on dry ice. What was in the box?

Weighty Words – Waiting
I am very overweight and have been for a long time. Over the past year I’ve realized that I have to lose weight and get healthier. I’ve done a lot of research and a lot of thinking. Earlier this year I consulted with a surgeon regarding gastric banding surgery. Since seeing him I’ve gotten medical [...]
Just another Manic Monday
Today was a crazy day. The boys both had off from school for the holiday. Hubby actually had word last night and my Mom was having a surgical procedure today so I couldn’t leave for work until hubby got home. The upside? I got to drive his truck, which has heat and defrost. The downside? [...]
