This is a Christmas cactus that a friend gave me. She had it for 5 years and couldn't make it bloom. I've had it a year and it's bloomed 3 times. Notice that there are two colors of blooms. Obviously there are two plants here.
My friend (the mother of our God-Daughter) sent these to me.

MR. Sign brought these home and they lasted for 3 weeks.
The staff at the elementary school I'm involved in sent
these home with daughter #2.

My best friend since Kindergarten and her husband sent these to me.
It's been almost a month and they still look beautiful.

I'm feeling really good. I worked all week last week. I still get tired but my stamina is coming back. I'm trying new foods every day. Today I had grilled chicken (1 oz.) and it tasted like heaven. It was nice to be able to chew something.
I had been at a plateau with weightloss but yesterday I stepped on the scale and had lost 6 pounds since the day before! That brings me to a total of 41 pounds in 5 weeks. Several have asked how much I want to lose and I'm not really comfortable giving a number. Let's just say, "It's a lot!"

Damn girl, that's more than I've lost in 8 weeks. Good for you! The flowers are gorgeous - getting flowers is a nice little perk of the whole surgery thing.
My green thumb is brown. My kids are lucky if they get water. Ya know what I'm sayin?
Yeah for 41 pounds!!!
Beautiful flowerses... Congrats on the weightloss!!!
Jenn, you are doing really well with the weight loss. Congratulations!
The flowers are beautiful, it's nice to see just how much people love you. :)
Each arrangement is more beautiful than the last... I love flowers.
41 pounds is awesome! I'm so thrilled for you! :)
Sounds like more than it is... I'm walking on the treadmill, but no resistance. It makes me feel good. I listen to my body closely and rest when I need to. Thanks for caring "Sis".
Unfortunately my surgeon puts on full liquids for 5 more weeks -- essentially anything we can get through a straw, but no protein drinks. He's quite strict about it, but he's a blessing in my eyes, so I'll follow his protocols to the letter. It will be worth it in the end, and focusing on that is getting me through. :)
My drain comes out Wednesday! Whooohoo
way to go jenn!!!! 41 pounds!!!
and a green thumb to boot.
right on 41!!!
you must be deleriously happy
WoW! I think you have some magical green thumb thing going on there.lol
Congrats on finally being able to eat real food and even more congrats on your lbs lost.
Just make sure you keep those beautiful blue eyes of yours.

Glad your finding your way back. 6lbs in one day is very impressive. The flowers are all very lovely, and I bet they really brighten up the place.
Girl, it's just a number. I'll stop once I'm in a size 14. I don't want to be skinny, I just want to be able to shop in normal stores...
I'll go on maintenance for the rest of my life once I get to that size...
Gurl . . . . I love the Christmas Cactus. . . . I have always wanted one. . . . I have one. . . it has bloomed once. . . . my mom has one that is huge and was my grandmother's. . . . . it is loaded with blooms and will be beautiful in a few weeks.
I am also cheering you on after your surgery. . . . the flowers are beautiful and you have a great group of supporters.
Ciao
Wow...you have a great group of supporters, that is most excellent!
41 pounds and counting, it's so nice this is finally happening for you!!!
The 41 pounds is a real accomplishment! Congratulations.
Happy Thanksgiving Signgurl to you and your family!!!
Beautiful flowers. I just love flowers! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Congratulations Sign. You know you will hit platoes as the body retains water. I am so happy you made it through that one. Also happy to hear you are getting that stamina back a little. You go girl. Keep it up sexy.
You obviously have a gift when it comes to things that are green.
And I'm so excited that things are going well and that you're healthy! 41 pounds!
Don't waste away though! :)
