How thrilling is that? I can still stay in touch via email, no stupid Blogger issues to contend with until I get home and can figure out what happened! WOO HOO FOR ME!!! Most excellent!

Like I said yesterday, the days are getting busier and busier as my time gets shorter and shorter. I leave in one week, almost exactly as I leave at 6:30am Thursday morning (20th) – have I really been here that long? Geesh, with all the sickness and stuff it sure has seemed longer. My mother and I were chatting yesterday that we are BOTH ready to go home. HA! And my sister asked yesterday if I could stay another week. OMG! LOL

Staying pretty stable at my 170 – wow, what a set point eh? Yesterday? OMG – we went to this place called Fuji Sushi Boat and Buffet for lunch – all you can eat sushi for $11.95 – geesh, I sure ate my fill! Everything and ANYTHING you might want in sushi was available there. We ate so much we ended up NOT eating dinner! That was a splurge, and I thought for sure I would have gained 3 more pounds with all the salt but nope, pretty much stable at 170 – what is up with that???

Officially I am on Phase 4 – what a joke! Phase 4 started when I began this trip! HA! I am actually quite ready to go home and to eat right. As it stands right now JPS and I are looking to start our 5th round sometime during the first week of April, and seriously, I can’t wait. I really wanted to be all done with my ‘dieting’ by one year from start, so right now that gives me about 11 weeks if I start my next round on the 7th of April – 11 weeks – oh boy, in just counting this numbers, I might need to go longer!

I know my goal is at 150 – but we all know that this number was so arbitrary. It looks as if I will need to extend my time limit a bit in order to be able to take this thing to the end. Oh well, que sera sera right? Each round I go on is that much better weight I am at, much better health as well. So, I will just keep going till it’s done, whenever that will be. Right now all I need to do is get home so that I can get a better grip on this food choices thing.

Oh well, time for me to go – first tho – these are my responses to yesterday’s comments:

Becca – We go back to the Dr today so I will let you know how things go, she is hoping for a good report. She has glasses on order, but it doesn’t look like they will get here until AFTER I leave, and I hate that cause I really wanted to be here when she got them. Oh well…

Monica – oh how sweet. We are all in this together ya know? You have been a source of inspiration for me as well. I wish I had more time to visit other blogs while I was here but it’s so haphazard – but once I get home, watch out! LOL

Mary – Ah yes, my own bed. It aint the most comfortable in the world, but boy do I LOVE MY BED!

Karen – HA! Quiet? I thought you folks would enjoy the time without my gabbin! LOL – I have missed you all so much, and even with the DSL card it’s still so hard to get everywhere. Ugh – but I will be home soon, it’s almost over! LOL

Lili – LIFE??? OMG! Yes, I sure know about LIFE! I am so over the drama they call this life in CALIFORNIA and ready to be home to deal with my OWN drama! ROFL – I can HANDLE my drama, just not everyone elses! hehe

Liz – HEY GIRL! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Peeps!

I have been having so much trouble with blogging that I finally had given up trying to post to my blog until I got home.  Someone was kind enough to let me know that I can blog via email so I am testing this today to see if it works.

It had gotten to the point that I cannot even see the box that I need to type in when I log into blogger, how weird is that?  And quite frankly people, I need my connection to you folks to feel sane anymore!  ROFL – OMG, I crack myself up!!!

Things are going fine at Menopause Manor – just counting down the days until I can sleep in my own bed.  Things are getting busy around here as I wrap up my trip.  My sister is doing very well.  She thinks she is all sassy now that she can see pretty good (but only like a foot in front of her!) – she is too funny!

Ok, this is only a test.  If I find this worked, then I will be a posting fiend again!  ROFL

Ok, so another day in the Cali saga. I had to take the old women out yesterday (hey, my own sister is calling her place “Menopause Manor” – the old women finally got ready around 1pm to leave, geesh, I was ready at like 10am to get the heck out of dodge. So not getting started till 1pm got us a late coming home time – around 8pm. Which everyone knows is usually my BEDTIME! ROFL

We went out to eat lunch – had some good Hawaiian Food. I had the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork, plus I had a Spam Musubi!!! I sure was in HEAVEN! I didn’t eat the WHOLE plate mind you, I brought MOST of it home (oh yes, I did finish the entire Spam Musubi!) – I had plans to eat it for my supper, but we also picked up some sushi so I had a few pieces of that instead. Oh, and I had some delicious wine – ever since I got here (we all know that all of the Cali people are WINEO’S) people have told me to make sure I taste this wine. So I found some at the World Market yesterday and me and my sister polished off a bottle last night.

What kind of wine was it? Well, let me start off by saying that I am not usually a Chardonnay drinker, but they kept telling me to try it, that I would like it. I hate wine that PUCKERS ya know? If I am gonna drink wine, it’s usually a dessert wine, or White Zin. So this was a stretch for me. And they also told me to disregard the name of the wine. Why? You tell me:

THIS IS THE WINE THEY TOLD ME TO TRY

And try it, I did … and love it I did, and I am so glad I purchased another bottle while I was there! Because the wine diet is on the menu for me! ROFL

Weight? It’s still hanging at 170 – 8 lbs over my LIW – so I am pretty pleased with this. Who could ask for anything more than that? I know I wanted to be a model P3 student while I was here, but things just didn’t turn out that way. So Que Sera Sera – whatever will be will be. Whatever happens happens, and I will fix it when I get home. Whatever.

Ok! I have LOTS to catch up on today, and then I have to travel to go pick up my OTHER nieces children this morning, about a 45 minute drive. They are staying with us this weekend so that will be fun for my daughter!

Have a great day people!
