Well this month I gained a total of 4.6#, I know some of why but not all of it. Anyway went to weigh in this morning expecting not more than a 2# loss. I was very surprised when she said that I lost 4.8#, but I'll take it so now I am .2# below where I started gaining so I am glad I can end the old year with a loss. Hope everyone feels better soon.

Just picked up my 2 lovely barium berry smoothies. They are huge....at least 16 ounces each. One tonight before bed and another 2 hours before the test at 6:45 tomorrow morning. Then I learned that I have to drink a THIRD one when I get there. UGH! My stomach is getting queasy at the thought. Ok now....I need all of you to send me your strength. I'm sorry to be such a baby but I need to think of you all holding good thoughts for me between now and 9:30 tomorrow morning. I'm going to go try to distract myself until bedtime. I won't be on until after the test tomorrow.

Have a good evening.

: to Vickie!! You'll do great!

Vickie, you can do it!

vickie, i love the photo of the trophy. thank you for sharing it with us. i hope all goes well with your tests tomorrow and you can get some results.

i went to the ww meeting but at the wrong time. i was mistaken about starting time. so--before i found out i was wrong, i told my friends i was coming to the "knit wits" meeting. i didn't stay for ww. today i'm having intestinal problems so going this evening is out. vickie, you're right. the meetings are very important. i'm going next wed even if i'll be there with multitudes of others.

we haven't bought the new trailer yet. my guess is we'll buy it closer to spring. we're looking at a fleetwood pioneer. it's the lightest weight we're finding that has a queen size bed, sofa, dinette, and full bath. we think our jeep will tow it. we'll have to do a practice tow before we buy it to be sure. the weather's not good for that right now. oh, well. i do think we're going to get it.

kathy, i empathise with you about the smoke. we have that quite a bit up here. it's not healthy. be careful.

vivian, wow!! congratulations.

vickie, i'd drink that for you if i could. you are definitely in my thoughts and i'm with you in spirit.

to Vickie.

Vickie, bottoms up! I hope you're doing okay with the smoothies.

I made a ham this afternoon for the girls. Well, actually for Erin. She worked 11-7 today; Kate had to be at work at 4 and won't be home until after 2 a.m. Shaun was hoping not to go in since he's been to all his clients but got a call around 2:00 this afternoon to make a delivery in Canton, which is a little over an hour away. Yesterday he went to far east Texas, a little town where my dad was born, and didn't get home until late.

Judd called at 4:00 to say he was on his way home and would be here at 6:00. Of course he isn't here yet.

All I know for now ... I'll be back later.

Sandra, your trailor plans sound so fun. Aaron and I want to rent an RV one of these days and drive all over the country. I think that would be so fun. (and expensive!!)

Kathy, I hope that you have found some of your family by now! Is your stomach feeling better?

Vickie, we're thinking about you. Check in tomorrow and let us know how things have gone!

Well chickies I'm off to bed. Went to IL's for the big bday celebration and now I'm pooped. I still haven't recovered from Christmas stuff. Tired, tired, tired!!

I'm here drinking my first smoothie. Blech. You are all the best. Talk to you when I get home tomorrow.

Vickie,
Here's a and a to help you get through the smoothies and tomorrow. You know we;re all thinking about you and sending you our best!

Blech is right! You're a trooper -- just hang in there and consider it a part of the steps toward feeling better.

I'm going to bed now too. What a day.

Oh yeah, one more thing. If Frouf doesn't get her butt back here tomorrow, she's grounded.

Good Morning Chicks! Thanks for all the hugs. You don't know how much they help. I'm here drinking my second smoothie. I had an ok night. At least everything stayed down. 3 hours and this will be all over and then I just have to worry that they find nothing serious.

Kath, the only thing keeping me drinking this stuff is the fact that I'm tired of being in discomfort and pain.

Yeah, where is Frouf? Hope's she's ok.

Vickie, that's a great way to think about it...it's almost over. And then maybe you'll get some answers!!

Frouf, come back!! Was she going on a trip or something?

Today is Friday and I don't want to do anything!!

No trip that I can remember. The last post was Tuesday night and the last visit was Wednesday morning. Froufy, what's up???

My stinkin' scale was 152 this morning! Now why on earth would that be? The only thing I can think of was the ham, which I will definitely be staying away from. The ham is banned.

Today the only thing I have planned for sure is to clean out the fridge. Judd's dinner is cooked (LO turkey burgers) and so is the kids' (LO ham, etc.) I guess I need to decide about the New Years Eve plans too.

Happy day to all! Vickie, I hope you're still hanging in there.
