| I am so bad about this whole blogging thing. I actually FORGET I have a blog.
Ok... so updates.
In November I hit my goal weight of 115lbs and have maintained since.
On November 18th I had my breast reduction/reconstruction surgery and
it went very well. Unfortunatly I am having a complication 4 weeks post
op - fat necrosis. Some pain, mostly its just more 'resting' and
restriction to my activities which is leading to a bit of depression. I
hate asking for help cleaning my house. I miss doing some stuff with my
kids. Hopefully the tissue will reabsorb in a few weeks and I can get
back to normal life. If not, he'll (surgeon) will have to go in and
remove the tissue and I don't want that. So mostly just resting
still and recovering.
Lots going on with the holidays of course. AWANA tonight, tomorrow
night hair cut, friday night Toms holiday party for work. Saturday two
rehearsals - morning for the jazz concert and afternoon for Christmas
eve at church. Sunday i'll sing in the a.m. at service, then off to the
Orpheum for rehearsal and then the concert itself
I'm singing alot which is nice. Its good for me emotionally and I think good for my healing as well.
Next week Monday I"m going to take the kids to see santa. Tuesday is
rehearsal for christmas eve service. Wednesday awana. Thursday more
rehearsal. Friday I'll have the new baby I watch for the day and we'll
do gift exchange with them. Saturday of course is Christmas eve!
We're going to sing/worship at church, then home for cocoa by the fire, some gifts etc.
Sunday for Christmas day we'll go to church and then my family is coming here for lunch.
Very busy and I'm still trying to rest. lol. Yah, right
Ok - back to my kids who are entertaining themselves by jumping off the couches. I should probably intervene eh?

| Its October 18th and I'm still not doing well with the blogging lol. But here I am again.
So - I'm singing tonight for rehearsal which'll be great. Singing this sunday AND next. Yay!
Some changes in the band - new guitar player i'm not so sure about.
Still in the process of finding a new candidate. One more
interview/audition/q&a session and hopefully they'll hire by the
1st of the year.
Chelseys sweet 16 is saturday. I think i'm all set. I made labels on
the computer around black/pink blowpops for favors :) . I picked up 20
visors and fabric paint for the kids to decorate. I've got all the
party decorations - banners, streamers, balloons, tablecloths, cutlery,
plates and cups. And all the soda and chips. Will need to order and
pick up the sub and then I think we're good to go :)
Halloween appears to be ready too - i have the kids personalized bags ready, their costumes and I hope enough candy.
Then we're off to Disneyland! I can't believe its only 3 weeks away and I cannot WAIT to go.
I'm down 38lbs now - 2lbs from goal weight :)
I'm wearing 2's and 4's on the bottoms and womens smalls and mediums on
top. Still hoping the surgery will be approved for the reduction/lift -
but they got the first predetermination letter on october 5th so I have
a while to wait. THey have up to 45 days to respond to that. I"m
guessing it'll be a denial and then they'll submit more medical
info/pictures etc and we'll go another month or so to hear back.
Thats life here. Alls well - just plugging away and ready for the holiday season!

| not keeping up with this real well am i? lol
Ok - so its october 9th. Diet update is that i'm running between
118-119 now with only a few more pounds to go til goal weight. I'm
increasing calories for a few days, then dropping again - that seems to
shake it up. Changing my workout routine alot too. Feeling healthy and
loving being a size 4 (with one pair of 2's that fit lol)
Toms birthday was yesterday. The kids enjoyed the cake and gifts (ok, i
enjoyed soime cake too he he he). Then we went out with Krista/Pat and
John/Kim for drinks and dinner at the dubliner. Love that place. Fun
night. 2.5 beers and I feel tired today tho.
Sang at church this morning and as always it was a blast. Romans having
issues being in the toddler room tho, so Tommy missed the service. Was
awesome too - about finding peace.
Chels still is wearing the sling on her arm and doing PT excercises.
HOpefully she will be ok for her sweet 16 and homecoming - and of
course disneyland. One more month!! woohooo! i'm more excited then the
kids
I've been really unmotivated to dye silk this week - gotta get over it.
I have some trades that really need to be done and my store is bare.
Maybe will try for this afternoon when chels gets back from the mall.
Dats all the news for now. I know... kinda boring.

| Today was Timberlys birthday party and we had such a great time. We had
about 20 people and everyone laughed and had fun. The food was great,
the games went really well and everyone loved the prizes too. She got
some wonderful gifts and seems really happy. Talked alot more with her
and her sister about the birth and she's going to at least delay all
hospital interventions and vaccinations til she can read more which
made me happy.
Then the cable guy showed up - and was a girl lol. She took a look and
said its going to be a pita to run the new cable line to the living
room since that rooms never had cable so we set it up for Monday
morning when its cooler outside. Should be about $35 which isn't too
bad and then we'll have another full living room to hang out in and I
can work out using the larger screen tv when the kids are watching
movies instead of infront of my computer screen lol
The kids are watching shrek now (for the millionth time) and eating
leftover subs and chips from the party for dinner. I made my low fat
eggplant parm and its delicious as always.
Only got to do a 2 mile/30 minute workout today but thats cool - will
consider it a small break he he he. Still can't get the scale to budge
for this last 6/7 pounds. Just won't go lower yet - but will make it
happen. I just know it.
Going to start planning Chelseys sweet 16 now - will call the park
Monday and find out what I need to do and get her invitations printed
out and copied. she's inviting like 40 kids so we are NOT doing it here
at the house. lol. Will get a few subs, chips, soda etc and do some
party games. they'll have a blast. Ugh - also need to get her a
homecoming dress since she was asked last night. lol
Also have to call my doctors office monday and get a mammogram and
physical started toward the possibility of the reduction/lift surgery.
I did get a hold of Pacificare and will write a letter monday too
requesting records. Then have to reach cigna too. So its going - slowly
but its going.
So lots going on, but nothing too terribly important. Tom is
still out back building the new patio/pergola/fireplace sitting area by
the pool. The fake rocks are looking excellent and he's planning a
waterfall. He's too much .
Not singing tomorrow, is my off week so I think Chels will take Roman
into the toddler room while zoey is in class and Tom and I can actually
hear a worship service together for the first time in ages. That'll be
nice. Then I'll be back on for next sunday so rehearsal and lots of
practice and I looooove it!
Well, thats my life at the moment.
