Ten Things Thursday

I haven't done one of these in awhile.  But I think it's just what I need today.  Thanks LauraBelle for starting this.

1.  I had my lapband removed on Wednesday, December 12, 2012. 

2.  I was revised to VSG a.k.a. the sleeve at the same time.

3.  My surgery went great.  I stayed in the hospital until Friday, because Thursday night when my doctor showed up I was feeling a little nausea so he asked me to stay.

4.  I've always hated being on liquids.  This is no exception.  I still ate it.  I will always hate it and I can't wait for it to be over.

5.  I took the kids to see Santa today.  My 1 year old (he will be 2 on New Years Day) took off running and my mom had to go catch him.  So I have a Christmas picture of on 2 of my 3 kids.  Nice.  This memory making stuff is hard as hell. Especially when the kids want cooperate.

6.  I go to my post-op appointment tomorrow.  I pray to all the WLS gods and goddesses that my diet is advance to Stage 2.  Did I mention I hate liquids.  LOL

7.  I am happy to say I paid all cash for Christmas this year.  It feels good..and it kept me from overspending.  Yup...I'm getting rid of all debt.  I want to be debt free when I start law school.

8.  I love my short hair...but I don't have much versatility as it grows out and that is boring.  I hate boring!!!

9.  That damn kid just threw a truck at me.  I'm telling yall...Bad ass!!!!

10.  Merry Christmas to you all.  May you remember that Jesus is the real reason for the season.

Change is coming

Hello lovelies!!! 

This post is all over the place...you have been warned...

Change is coming.  The year is ending and a new year is beginning.  Many people will make promises that they don't intend to keep.  People who you thought were your friend will walk out of your life forever.  The person you thought you would always love you will move on.  Change is coming.  Change is a good thing my friends.  Let go of the past hurts and live in the present.  If someone walks out of your life...they were not meant to be there in the first place.  Keep on pushing on.

Change is coming for me too.  I'm thinking of going in another direction with my blog.  I once looked forward to logging in and talking with you all...but something is missing.  I know it's me.  So I have to find the direction that brings me joy...because I truly enjoy speaking with you.

In band related news...wow this will be my last time typing those words.  Tomorrow I lose my band forever.  Yup...big day.  There are many people who have lost their band and begin to speak negatively about it.  I won't be one of those people.  My band was an awesome tool.  I still believe the band is an awesome tool.  I think each journey is different...and I know that each person has to find their own way. 
Onward and upward my friends...this isn't the end...it's just a change!!!

In other news...a good friend of mine had a job interview today.  She is an awesome little slice of Texas sunshine.  I pray she gets the gig...because it is the perfect job for her. 

Are you all ready for Christmas?  I am.  It's even better because all gifts were bought with cash...no using credit for this kid.  My kids are really excited about Christmas.  I think I will take them to visit Santa on Monday.  I can't wait.  I'm hoping the youngest doesn't cry this year...but if he does...so what...still a cute picture. Also if you have kids who write a letter to Santa please take it to Macy's and put it int he mailbox.  For every letter sent to Santa Macy's donates money to the make a wish foundation.
