GEE, WHERE TO START............?

I HAVE SERIOUSLY STARTED LOOKING INTO BARIATRIC SURGERY FOR ME AND THE HUBBY. THIS VICIOUS CYCLE IS DRIVING ME NUTS! NOT TO MENTION SEEING PEOPLE JUST EVEN MONTHS AGO ARE GETTING WAY SKINNY. I AM TOTALLY JEALOUS AND KEEP TELLING MYSELF TO GO TO THE EXTREME. WHY NOT? HMMMMM.....

I'M LOOKING INTO THE COSTS OF THE LAP-BAND PROCEDURE. MY INSURANCE AS WELL AS HUBBY'S INSURANCE COVER MOST OF IT. I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO SPOKANE TO A LAP-BAND SEMINAR CONFERENCE AND TALK TO THOSE WHO HAVE HAD IT, THE GOOD, BAD, AND THE UGLY. I HAVE ALSO BEEN LOOKING INTO THE LAP-BAND COMMUNITY FOR ANSWERS FROM THE SOURCES.

I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, AND I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN, I'M TIRED OF BEING FAT. IT IS SOOOO HARD. I WAS TOTALLY KICKING ASS THE 1ST 3 MONTHS OF LAST YEAR GOING TO THE GYM 3-4 TIMES A WEEK. I LOST LIKE 12 LBS FROM EXERCISE ALONE, THEN I HAD ASTHMA FROM ALL THE WILDFIRES, THEN MY FEET HURT, ETC. I'M FALLING APART. NOW MY FEET HURT AGAIN JUST IN TIME FOR ME NOT TO WORK MY MOTIVATION! WHATEVER. GRRRR. REBECCA AND I SIGNED UP FOR BLOOMSDAY IN SPOKANE, SO THAT IS A 7 MILE WALK/RUN RACE AND WE BETTER TRAIN SOON SINCE IT'S THE FIRST SUNDAY IN MAY! I JUST FEEL LIKE I NEED SOMETHING SO DRASTIC. I DON'T KNOW HOW I'D PAY FOR MY PORTION OF DEDUCTIBLE EXPENSES ETC. WITH OUR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT WOULD STILL LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT. SO THAT'S WHERE MY SPARE TIME IS SPENT.

WE HAVE A NEW CO-WORKER, AND WE ALL KNOW HOW I HAVE NICKNAMES FOR THEM TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT. THE NEW GAL FOR THE MOMENT I WILL CALL HER "DUMB-DUMB." SHE IS A YOUNGER GAL, AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, SHE IS SO DUMB AND GULLIBLE. I REALLY HATE TO SAY IT LIKE THAT, BUT DAMN. FOR EXAMPLE, WE'VE TAUGHT HER HOW TO DO A DEPOSIT FROM THE REGISTER, AND SHE STILL CANNOT GRASP THE CONCEPT OF HOW TO FILL OUT A SIMPLE DEPOSIT SLIP! SHE MADE THE COMMENT THAT SHE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO WRITE THE COINS IN. HMMM, I WOULD IMAGINE ON THE VERY RIGHT HAND SIDE UNDER THE COLUMN THAT SAYS: "CENTS" AND ON THE SAME LINE THAT GOES ACROSS THAT SAYS COINS! HOLY CRAP. IT MUST HURT. EVEN COMMON SENSE STUFF. SHE ALREADY HAS DRAMA IN OUR STORE. SHE WAS SERVED PAPERS BY HER BABY-DADDY'S-GIRLFRIEND. A RESTRAINING ORDER AND CHILD SUPPORT ORDER LIKE ON HER 2ND OR 3RD DAY OF WORK.

THE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY COLD, AND COULDN'T BELIEVE THE SNOW WE DID HAVE THIS YEAR. WOW. SPOKANE HAS BEEN HIT HARD, SO I HAVEN'T GONE UP THERE, HOWEVER, I HOPE TO POSSIBLY GO THIS COMING FRIDAY! I'M SOOO HOMESICK. NEED TO GET MY GROOVE ON. THE HUBBY HAS BEEN TOLD THAT HE WILL BE GOING TO LAS VEGAS AGAIN THIS YEAR. I HOPE I CAN GO. I REALLY SHOULDN'T FOR WE HAVE BILLS TO PAY, A SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO REPAIR THIS SPRING, AND GET MY CAR MAINTAINED, AND GENERAL BILLS, AND OH YES, MY DIAMOND RING I WANT BADLY!

WELL, I GUESS I WILL WRAP THIS UP FOR TONIGHT, I'VE BEEN KINDA TIRED AND WORN OUT.
