So I found my dream house and I am now in mortgage hell. Went to the bank today and got pre-qualified. Went to the realtor and I got my counter offer which I accepted. Now I have the wait and see part. There is another buyer who has the same offer as me but they have a contingency where they have to sell their home first before they can act on ( Read more... )

Went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and I was a little disappointed with my weight. I wasn't losing as fast as I started out. Went to the doctor yesterday (getting established with a general doctor) and was blown away. I've lost another 21 pounds in 2 weeks!!!! Total loss now is 61 pounds in 2 months. Holy cow!!!! I'm tripping. Was working like a ( Read more... )

I stopped by the store yesterday and met one of the new managers. He looks like he's about 20 years old and is kinda cute. But not the sharpest tool in the shed. He was really excited I was coming. I went into the office and it was really disorganized. That won't last long. I can't work without organization. Have to put my mark in there next ( Read more... )

Ok so I'm officially bored silly in the cornfield and to top it off I've got a screaming case of bronchitis so I'm confined to bed and wheezing. Not the most pleasant feeling. But this experience on Tuesday night definitely broke the boredom ( Read more... )

Well the move went well. If you can say that. I barely had enough room in the moving truck but it all worked. The kitties were a little stressed but they made it. They haven't left the bedroom since we got here because mom's kitty Tooie (original shitten) seems to be the self-appointed armed and dangerous guard. She's really pissed that they ( Read more... )

Computer unplugs in 10 minutes. Have limited computer access in the cornfield so I'll not have as many updates. Going to miss this place. Willow and Brynner are climbing all over the boxes. They look like they are on an adventure. (They have no idea ( Read more... )

So today is it. Everything is packed and sitting in the middle of the room. It looked like alot more when I moved to Chicago. I think the depletion of the wardrobe is the reason for that. I'm loaning John a few things just cause my move leaves him with nothing. (Everything I have is going into storage so I don't need it right away). He's ( Read more... )

Ok, there is no Quiznos in Lafayette. What the hell am I going to do without my turkey/guacamole sub? I know, I can't eat bread and I don't. I just pick everything off the sub and eat it. It digests wonderfully for the gastric patient. I haven't had a problem. Avocados are fatty but I need some kind of fat in my diet cause my skin is going ( Read more... )

Well this has been a fun 2 days. I've gone through my monstrous wardrobe, tossing out what is tacky and what doesn't fit. It's left me with 2 medium boxes of clothes. That's it. I've worked the past 18 years in clothing retail and I have 2 boxes to show for it. There are 9 garbage bags (30 gallon) in the living room, waiting to go to the ( Read more... )

So I had my dr. appointment today. I have lost 30 pounds in 23 days!!! Yippee!!! It was quite exciting to see the numbers. Which means from the beginning of the year I've lost over 50 pounds in 4 months. (I did the 24 pounds pre-op). All is looking good ( Read more... )
