Tricia:

Thanks, kiddo, about the goal. Now's the hard part...maintaining! LOL

Hey, you can't just spring this wedding thing on us! You gotta give us some kind of details, girl! What gives?!?

(Sorry, Brooke, about the hijack)

Dara,

Awwwwww, darn. Okay, 7 years ago I split with the hubby, an abusive sort I am glad to be away from. I put my resume online and got a job offer here. GULP. Big move for this Tennessee gal who had no family here and only one friend, an ex-sailor I had been pen pals with for a few years. Well, I leaped feet first and moved out here (drove actually....that is a story in and of itself) and finally met my pen pal. Love at first sight? No, but it wasn't hate either. We were just really great friends. He helped me a lot and I helped him too. He was my buddy through the surgery and has been my staunchest supporter. Well, over a month ago his sister took him to lunch and well, took him to task. She told him that the only two who didn't know we were meant to be together was us and to get over it and marry me before I found someone else (okay I wasn't looking). Well, he and I talked, and talked and talked and talked some more. She did manage to open his eyes to his true feelings and that is a good thing.....I think. I already knew my feelings, but hid them. Now to get him over the Catholic "once you are divorced that is it" mentality the Catholics drilled into him as a boy. No, he is not Catholic now. He is trying to quit smoking (January 2nd is the goal date) as he wants to be smoke free before he marries me. Awwwww. Then we are supposed to do pre-marital counseling for 2-3 months. So, maybe in April when my son comes home before he deploys for Iraq? I want him to give me away.

Well, Tricia, that is just the COOLEST thing since sliced bread!! When you mentioned the wedding plans were yours, I thought it might be the "friend" you've mentioned before. I'm so happy for you! Don't forget to let us know about the details when you decide them. Congratulations, dear girl, you've DEFINITELY been busy!

Soda is the leading cause of esophigeal cancer - it is acidic and our bodies cannot neutralize it like we used to be able to do. There is another "Real Skinny on Weightloss Surgery" edition coming out in which the authors are going to cover the physiological problems with diet pop in RNY patients in depth. Scared me to death just talking to them last week.
