The veggies are coming....the veggies are coming!!

First of all...I have to let you know that today is....

NATIONAL DONUT DAY!!!

Oh what sweet temptation....No don't do it....Walk away from the donut....

Sorry I had to get that out of my system. Whew, that was close. I was almost licking my computer screen!

Hee hee, I caught Jim watering my veggies! I'm surprised that he's not out there putting poison on them. Let's just say that Jim is not a huge veggie fan.

Oh look...I'm getting tomatoes!!! These are my low acid tomatoes for Jim. Aren't they cute?!?!?

Okay, now here are my "Mama Mia" tomatoes. These are like Roma tomatoes. Look closely...can you count how many there are?!?! I'll give you a hint...there are 5!!!

The zucchini are out growing their pot!! LOL. Just the way I like em!! This is my second zucchini so far. I picked my first one on Memorial Day!!

My bell peppers are going wild too! To bad for Jim, these are one of my favorites and one of his least favorites!! Look at all the baby's growing!! This is only one plant too! I have 3 total plants!!!

Here's my cucumbers. They are blooming but I don't see any little cuc's yet. This is Jim's only revenge in the veggie world. He loves them and I can't stand them. I can't even have them in a salad, then taken out. I can still taste them!! Yuck. So, yep I'm growing them for him. Anyone want some cucumbers?!?!?!

My spinach is starting off slow, but that's ok. They were almost dead before I put them in the pot. Oh Popeye would be proud!!

And lastly, my parsley. It was another almost dead plant that I thought I would save it's life. She still has a ways to go before it's really abundant. But I can wait.

So now you have seen my veggies what do ya think? I can't wait till they are ready for picking! Hee hee, my veggies are still out growing my moms. LOL!!

How this whole thing got started....

I have been heavy almost all my life. My primary doctor kept telling me that I would be a great candidate for bariatric surgery. I really didn't want to do it. The thought of someone rearranging my innards was not ok to me. So I put off the idea for a good 5 years. Well it wasn't until one Halloween night and an innocent little girl changed my mind.

It was Halloween 2007. I had decorated the front porch and my mom and I were going to hand out candy to all of the trick or treaters. I had a few animatronic things going and the kids were loving the fact that they could come up and get close to everything. Towards the end of the evening a very cute little girl came up to the porch. She put her candy sack down and started staring at everything moving. She was just totally enthralled by it all. Then she looks at me and asks me, "did you get that fat by eating candy?" I smiled and told her yes I did. She went back to watching everything again. Then out of the blue she tells me that I'm going to break the chair I'm sitting in. Again smiling, I tell her it's ok, it's a good strong chair. By this time I thought the little girl was never going to leave. She finally got her candy and left with her grandpa who kept appologizing to my husband for her. It was ok, she was a kid and I don't mind that kids speak what they see. It kind of stung a little bit but it's not like I didn't know I was fat!!! But it wasn't until I put the photos my hubby took of that night on my computer. I saw what the little girl saw. OMG (Oh my gosh)!!!! No wonder she thought I was going to break my chair. I was almost in tears. It was the next business day that I called my doctor and asked for a referral for surgery.
