I've been gone for a bit

I haven't felt like blogging lately. In fact, I haven't felt like doing much at all. I have a few things going on and I can usually deal with a few things, but it's usually one thing that happens to be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Long time no post!!

Holy crap, I have been tired, busy and freakin so burnt out that posting was on my list....but not high enough to find the energy for.

In any case, I'm back and I got some crap to post about. I won't be saying anything about my vacation for a couple posts as I have a bit of things to sort through in my head. But hey, I bought some stuff from Lane Bryant (who liked my photos on Instagram *SQUEEEE!!!*) and I'm gonna show those bad boys off to you right now!

Can we just talk about something?

The Class

So I went to the bariatric class yesterday and, in the five years since I've been to it, it has definitely changed. The first time I went, the only surgery discussed was the gastric bypass (Roux NY). This time the class was a lot more informative and helped to concrete my decision. I'm not going to get a surgery...and I'm really, really fucking sad about it.

Getting organized

Last night I promised myself that I would be in bed by 10pm....I failed. I ended up reading about and watching videos on gastric surgeries. My hope is to get the gastric band (not the more extreme gastric bypass or sleeve) and after reading a few things about them, I am a bit hesitant.

The start

This coming Tuesday is the bariatric class I have to take in order for my doctor to give me a referral for the bariatric doctor. I am not nervous to take this class, as I've taken it before. I am, however, impatient to get the whole damn process started and I am nervous that I'll be turned down. Why would I be turned down? For a few very good reasons.

Things are happening

I got some things going on today, nothing particularly amazing, but still damn exciting.

Love whaaaaaa??

I hear there's some love holiday-thing coming up.

Great things abound!!

I am in a stellar mood right now, though I'm also stressin' out a bit.

Stresses:
-Car payment
-Rent payment
-Saving money

Now on to the stellar stuff......

I'm Better

When I first started this blog, I was super, SUPER down in the dumps and, after being sick for a few days (head colds SUCK!!), and having my hair newly colored, I'm OK.

So here's the real me and what's been happening lately:
