I'm Back.....

Okay so it has been awhile. Life has been interesting- up and down and all around. So I thought I would Blog and get it all out again.

So I am now about 4 mths post opp from the Gastric Bypass- 80 pounds down !! I am finally feeling better and able to eat some normal food. It is amazing how my tastes have changed and I eat so much healthier. I like things with flavor and spice as well. So far so good. I stand in front of the mirror and wonder when I will be able to tell. Everyone else says they notice but I don't. I am starting to think I am going nuts. So back to the psychiatrist I go- she is helping me through everyone complimenting me ( drives me crazy) and being confused. My mom does not understand what I am going through so I just don't tell her I need a little boost. Just a rut and I will get through it. So much is changing at once I guess I was not prepared.

So I am finally getting out and being social-- I am trying so hard the last few weeks but it has been kinda fun. I went out Sandbarring on the river for 4th of July- that was so fun, Honey B loved it and swam all day long. It was good to be out with my Friends Carolyn and Angie again. They are good people. I went camping with other friends Novy and Kristen- that was a good time, the rain spoiled our 2nd night out but it was still good company and nice trip away from home. I love them as I always laugh so much with them. I swear I can tell them anything and trust them. There are few people in my life like that. I also went Tubing in IOWA last weekend with Honey B. The river was shallow I hurt my butt so bad on rocks and considering Honey B was on my lap it was like dead weight. It was still fun, I laughed at everyone else alot as they were drinking and I was sober. That was okay though. It rained on us and got a little cold but hey it happens. I was social.

So let the adventures continue this summer, I am hoping to hang out at the Beach and Pool this weekend with Friends again. Should be fun.

Other Recent Drama:
My closest friend and I have gotten distant the last few months. I am going through some stuff and I needed more me time. She finally said something to me last week and felt I was neglecting her. I felt so bad because that was not my intention. I just needed to handle my own issues and family stuff first. There is this big party coming up for Jody and I- for our Birthdays and that struck a nerve with her too. I hope it all works out. I want my new friends and old friends to get along. We went to Rudy's last night for Chili dogs and talked for over an hour. I think things are a little better. I just believe I need to make time for everyone. We have been friends a while and I am not ready to lose that.

Mom and Dad are doing good- Sturgis 2006 is up in the air because Dad might have surgery on his back. We will see. My little brother Nick is not sure he is going cause his girlfriend has a bad disc as well. I AM GOING NO MATTER WHAT. Even if it mean for a fews days by myself I think it is time I deserve.

My older brother moved to Rochester last week, my little brother is engaged and bought a house last month. So much to think about- so little time.

I have included a picture of my most precious Honey B. She is my baby....so cute.

Well that was a nice break. Blog at you later.

HAVE A MOST EXCELLENT SUMMER.
