Re: Roll call for 4/17 MGB!!! (Sue)

[Guest guest]

Sue,

Nice way to spend your anniversary! We plan on finding kiddie things

to do on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday, since we'll have our 2

kids with us. How old are your boys? My kids are boy 7 and girl 6.

Hubby will have his hands full in the hospital waiting area!

I always wondered if cutting out the Diet Coke would actually help to

lose weight, you answered that question!

That's great hubby gets to fly free and you did get a great price.

We did " priceline.com " and got a $226 R/T for each of us.

I'll find out from my insurance plan if it's cheaper to fill the

prescriptions here in TX or wait until I'm in NC.

We're originally from the Northeast (New Jersey). My mother's family

is from outside Boston also (NE of Boston)!

See you and everyone else on the 15th! Can't wait!

> Hi Bernardine! I will be at the clinic (15th) at 9am. I figured

later in the day, my husband & I could do some sightseeing since

we've never been to NC! Plus, our 13th Anniv. is this Tues. (11th) so

we are making the 2 days before surgery a sort of Anniv. present to

each other! I may splurge on a few things. I too have been having

alot of beef lately. We don't eat it much in the winter time, but

come spring/summer, we get the grill out & then we tend to eat alot

of steaks, etc. I had the most awesome Rib Eye Friday night at

Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse. Mouth watering!!! I used to drink alot of

diet Coke, but have weaned off of it almost completely in the past 2

years & switched to water in my quest to lose weight & it still

didn't help!

> I have purchased all that I can for supplements & will pack some in

baggies to bring with me. These cannisters of Citrucel and Whey

Protein would be too bulky to pack in a suitcase. I usually get my

prescriptions at Walmart & from what I hear there is one down there,

so I will wait & have dear hubby get those for me. We are flying

down. The drive is a little over 17 hours which I didn't look forward

to. My husband is an air traffic controller so he flys for free. He

has to sit up with the pilots because it is supposed to be a learning

experience. I actually just made the cutoff in buying my ticket

before the 2 week deadline. It only cost me $174 round trip! If I

went to buy one now, it would be about $450!!! What a difference a

couple weeks makes! We are staying at the Comfort Inn Suites because

Homewood was booked. Plus we wanted a place that had an exercise room

in it. We also rented a car. Yup, the bills are adding up, but I told

my husband that I'm worth it! My 2 boys are staying with my Mom &

Sister/Bro-in-Law in Mass. Just south of Boston. I grew up here &

moved to Maine with my husband just 6 months after we got married due

to his job.
