Morning Angels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All ready for a brand new week!! This old lady sure is. Gone are all the boohoo's of yesterday and I am starting over today feeling 100%. Come on now we can forget yesterday and learn from it!! That is what I intend to do!!

This challenge is suppose to make us think and find behaviors that need to be changed. Has anyone identified a specific behavior that needs changing?? I have!! Procrastination!! I am able to procrastinate with the best of them. Good now lizzie has identified a trouble area. Now how to change it!!

I am going to write three specific goals to accomplished each day and post them here. I am going to develop the new habit of writing 3 specific goals to be accomplished each day!!! Hahahahaha even wrote it in color so I can see it!!

Now I think that is pretty easy!! So come on Angels how about you!! Found a habit you need to replace???

Be back later today to check!!

Love and huggers,
Lizzie

Hiya Lizzie and crew!

Good idea and yep...... have pinned down my stumbling blocks and will work to remove them one by one......
I will work on one each week until I have formed a new way of dealing with it.

1) PM grazing
2) Feeding feelings(meeting non-food needs with excess food)
3) Hiding to avoid interaction with others
4) Eating to avoid work! I'm sure no one else would rather eat than do ironing, right? Shopping is a good alternative too but the cost is rather high! I reckon that's enough for now! I don't wanna overwhelm myself!

I usually have my "lightbulb" moments AFTER I've consumed something I wasn't hungry for........OH.......I was feeling angry 'cuz my electric bill more than doubled from last month!
I will practice asking myself what it is I NEED when faced wth an overwhelming desire to devour the contents of the frig in one fell swoop.

I know I feel better when I exercise control in my food plan, get some exercise, drink enough water and take care of my emotional needs. What more incentive do I need? I'll give that some thought!

Have a good day eveyone........I'll c-ya here later. I'm gonna get my chicken cooking and do a bit of "house related work".....before job related work time.

Huggies to all!
Brenda:whip:

Hi Angels,

I'm not as balanced as you guys, I have trouble zeroing (is that a word?) in on my stumbling blocks.
I ask myself, "why do I fall off the wagon?" and my answer, "I don't know? If I knew maybe I wouldn't do it!"

So maybe my goal should be to really focus on my behaviors and try to identify the reasons for them, rather than just shrugging my shoulders and saying, "better luck next week!"

So that will be my goal to focus on:
-identifying the reasons/feelings behind my poor eating choices
before I eat the poor choice!

And Bren: If I could afford to shop instead of eat, I'd be the best dressed skinny girl on the block!:D

Donna

Hey guys,

Well I am keeping it simple today. I have a cold, it is Tom time, sara is still sleeping and she has a cold so she may be home today and my Mom seems to be losing strength quickly so we may have to get her into a nursing home within a few days. So I have three goals today, drink water, take it one hour at a time and be good to myself.

Sharon,

Good day Ladies!

Ok, I tackled my bike this weekend, and did excellent! I rode for 40 minutes (8 MILES!!) Saturday, 20 minutes Sunday, and 39 minutes(8.5 MILES!!) Monday. Just couldn't squeeze out that last minute! I was pedaling faster and my legs were fatigued.

I told you I was ready to go again! Who's with me? Come on slackers! Let's go!! :laugh:

It was such a nice weekend at home, despite the constant rain, but I loved the peace and quiet. It's supposed to rain most of this week, too. :(

We're going to the Monster Truck Jam on Saturday, so I hope it doesn't rain then.

Have a great day!! Make the most of it!

:hug: to all of you!!

Slacker I beg your pardon I resemble that remark!! I shall now attempt to ride my stationary bike for as long as it doesn't hurt my knee. I will post in about 10 minutes!! See if Lizzie can do it!!
Hahahahaha she better.

Slackerlizzie!!

You go Lizzie!! Just to boost you on a bit, I walked on my treadmill for 10 minutes (actually tried jogging!), and rode my bike for 20 minutes. Does that help???

:)

Holy cow!! Stacey you are putting me to shame!! But I am up and at the exercise bike in the early am before my knee gets so painful. I tried to get on the bike tonight and all I did was get it cleaned up after sitting so long. Got all the dust and bird seed off it! I have a Amazon Parrot sitting here looking at me while I type. She has a tendency to throw seeds at my exercise bike.

BUT Slacker Lizzie will be up and at um tomorrow morning!!

Wow Stacey you go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure is wonderful to have you back again!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good morning everyone:D

Lizzie, my uncle used to say that!...."I resemble that remark".
I admit I'm one too.......she did say snacker, right? Stackers? Crackers? Oh.....ok.....hackers! Yeah. That was it! Just kidding.....some days it's harder to be honest! LOL! Be gentle with yourself gf! I need to dust my dreadmill!

Sharon, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom and doing it an hour at a time is the best you can do rght now. Do take care of yourself. ((((HUGS)))) to you and yours.

Donna! Shopping tip......do Goodwill! LOL! Some people won't, some people never had to, but I am so thankful for that place. I have a hard time paying $8.00 for a T-shirt at Wally World now. I ask God to bless the ones who gave the things I buy.....so I could have 'em! Then 3-4 times a year I do my closets and take a load of stuff back.

Stacky! I mean Stacey! Woohoo.....you go girl! Be our resident whipper snapper,okey dokey? I am such a weenie on a bike but love my healthrider. It moves all the right parts of me without hurting me. I was using my band thing at work yesterday and it snapped in half! Sounded like a gun.....POW! I am so glad it didn't pop me in the face! I wuz working it! Actually, it's 4 years old and how long does balloon material last after all? I keep 3 and 5 # weights at the office too. If I could get most of my exercise in on company time.....hmmm......worthy of consideration! I do get some walking in there...all job related.

I'm gonna run beore I get booted again.....have a good day everyone. Ms Lee, Katherine, Janet.........hope all is well on your piece of the map. Take good care of YOU today. I will do SO much better than last week ad I will NOT make me sick again!

Bren

morning Angels,

Well Lizzie "The Slacker" did try the exercise bike. I now know for sure that is an after surgery activity. That hurt every second of the 3 minutes I was determined to ride. So won't be doing that again. Well shoot!!

Hospital called they forgot a test i was suppose to have done yesterday so I have to go back today! I am getting tired of the trip back and forth!!

Hey Donna, Talk about not being balanced. I stated a goal yesterday and forgot to write the components!! There is that procrastination sneaking in again. So do NOT sell yourself short!! Look at how far you have come already!!!!! You go girl!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been working on losing weigh on ww since Dec 31, 2001. With all my ups and downs I am now at 33 lbs gone. I was 45. Somehow over the last year I have picked up a pound here and there. Today right now I am looking at a slacker in progress. Oh do not get me wrong I am most happy with the 33 lbs still gone BUT I need to get my big fat butt moving!! From my caculations I have 102 lbs to go. That is as honest as I feel today. No blurring of the truth today!! ( Can't believe that I wrote "somehow" as if it was a big mystery!!).

Time to really look at my behavior today!! I am going to keep a pencil and paper handy and write down my thoughts and see what kind of a maze I put myself through. I already know that I will not be shopping today like I did yesterday. Just that 30 minutes without a wheelchair, walking was more than I can do.

Now I am off to hospital for tests!!

Hope you all are having a great day. Hey Stacey how are you feeling today? Are you sure you should do all those exercises with your suspect heart thing? Stared thinking about that a while ago and worried me. Be care ful until you find out for sure!!!!!!!!

Bren,Yes that was snacker cracker!! Here we are the Slacker Twins. Lizzie and Bren!! Actually our names should be Snacker and Cracker. Toooooooooooo much for me to handle!!!!!!!!!!

OMG girl hope you didn't snap yourself with your band snapping. Sorry that is too funny!! Bet you got a big surprise!!!!!!!!!!


Now I am definitley off to do tests!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hello ladies! I hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know that I'm thinking of you!

I'm still heavily pregnant (37w tomorrow!) and my dr turned out to be a fat-phobic idiot! Every appt. he has commented about my weight, I know I'm huge I started out at 237 and have gained 33lbs. This Monday I had my 36 week check up and he suddenly decided I must have gestational diabetes. This assumption only based on
1. I'm overweight and it tends to be more common with overweight women
2. I had a drop of glucose in my urine at my last midwife's visit (although my midwife said it was because I had a chocolate bar just before the appt. )
3. Mainly because my baby is big. They estimate her to weigh 3.4kg at the moment which is 7.48lbs.

I've had GTT done and it was normal and he sent me in for one again yesterday - which came back normal again! He didn't believe these results, in fact he refused to listen to me on the phone. He's sending me to the specialist next week because he's confident that me being overweight and baby being bigger are symptoms of GD! That's going to be a 4 hour bus trip for me!!! I wouldn't be surprised if I end up giving birth on that darn bus...

GRRRR... He's putting me through all this extra stress in these last weeks. We're going to make an official complaint about him once this is all over. Even though I'm obese I'm healthy and he can't believe it! I've had a textbook pregnancy so far, so why can't he just let me enjoy these last weeks!!!

At the moment I'm too scared they're wanting me to have a induction/c-section just based on my ob's opinion.

Sorry I'm rambling... I'm just hoping that Maya will come naturally by next week!

So, that's my exciting life... Keep up the good work ladies and I'll join you very very soon!!!

Hugs :hug: :hug: :hug: to you all!

Mari

Hi Angel Mari,

Holy smokes what is up with your doc. Think I would get a second opinion. Especially when all your tests come back okay! Yikes my son weighed 8.2 lbs and I didn't have diabetes!! My sis 's daughter weighed 10.6 lbs and she never had diabetes. Hit that doc up side the nogin!! Tell him to get a grip!!

I do not blame you for being upset but remember you know your body better than he does. I can not see how a 4 hour bus trip would help at this stage of the pregnancy!! BUT the good news are you are doing WONDERFUL and NO problems!!! Yipeeeeeeeee little bambino will be here before the bus trip maybe!!

I think about you and Aj all the time waiting for the babies to arrive!! Our first Snow Angel Babies!!

Make sure you DH knows to post here as soon as baby gets here that is if you are busy feeling better. Can't wait and I know you can't wait!! Take care and keep us up to date. Smack that doc a couple times and maybe he will feel better.!!!! Hahahaha

Continue to enjoy your last couple weeks!!

Love and big hugs,:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :gflower:

Lizzie

Mari,

Just wanted to say I was 220#s when I got pregnant and i gained about 40#s. Never had diabetes with either pregnancy. Sara was 8.5#s and Brielle was 9.3#s. They were and continue to be very healthy. Hope this gets resolved for you. Sorry to here you are going thru all this stress. Hope you can enjoy these last few weeks.

Hiya angels!

Lizzie, let's do cyber smacks to Mari's Dr.! I would absoluletly NOT do a 4 hour bus ride to appease that crotchety ol' fart, when tests have been normal! He needs to get real!
I had big babies too.....I had c-sections 'cuz on # one I didn't dialate enough. What was neat was I had a fruitloop of a Dr., he was away when Allen's time came and my fill in Dr. was Dr. Angel! How cool was that?
I've had a drunk dentist tear my mouth up pulling a tooth and a druggie Dr. who was obsessed with my weight, wanted to put me on diet pills and fake it to the Ins. Co. as treatmet for high blood pressure and arthritis. The last time I saw him he looked like he'd missed a shower and shave for a couple of days and he was strung out........a 3 on the manic scale!

Mari, I know you are SO looking forward to holding little Maya and it won't be long! Wow! Where does our time go? My Laura's little Emma is a month old already! AJ should be getting ready for the countdown also!

Lizzie, Lizzie.........Toby is NOT taking care of business at your house......oh, I'm sorry, that's 'cuz he's been over here! I'll send him back home today and if you don't tell on yourself, we may have to. Bless your little heart! 3 minutes of agony on the bike![-X I had to tell on Toby.....for leaving my truck unlocked, my friend looked at me like I was goofy (imagine that!).....I told him it HAD to be Toby, he was the last oneI had in the truck! Hmmm.....it may seem to some that I'm a TATTLE TALE!
Yep......we be the Slacker Sisters! How funny!

Donna......do you have fruit gf? I picked up some nanners/grapes/oranges/apples yesterday. I have a fruit bowl on the table and my day's supply in a seperate bowl. I'm in training up in here and will use what ever tricks I have to!
The Farmer's Market is up and running alreday....Tues/Thur/Sat. so I plan to make a run over there this morning. I may wanna roast some veggies to go with my yummy chicken.

I'm gonna get on the stick, get some work done so's I can play later. Have a good day all!
Bren:D
I will Eat my fruit/veggies....drink my water....get some exercise...have a FUN day!

Morning kids!!

Bren I forgot about Laura having our First Grandbaby Snow Angel!! Yikes see what happens when I try to think!! Get all confused.

Wow sweetie where did you find such doctors?? At the midnight physicians shop?? Sounds like a couple I had in my life time. One farted all the time he was talking to me. Try to keep a straight face with that happening!! His nurse told me he lost some of his hearing and didn't know he was making fart noises. Hmmm I would have thought the smell would have alerted him!! Sure did me. Then I had a doc who came to the exam room and crawled up on the exam table and read a book to me. I sat in the chair and he put the PRD on the pillow and he laid down and read about meds outloud to me. That was unusual!!

I been looking for the stinker!! Toby that is! What is up with that dude. He did make it to Willie's 70th birthday although everyone was surprised that Willie did. Yikesssssss

Anyone a tennis fan?? I watched French OPen until almost 3 this am. DH and I both love tennis. Spend a lot of time watching tennis and can not play anymore myself. Played a lot of years when I was younger. LOtssssssssss younger!! The last time DH and I played we were worn out after just warming up!! Never did get the match going!! Couple of wusses!! Now we speak of tennis in past tense along with snow skiing!! Last time we went bowling my arm hurt for a month! Ahhhhhhhhhhh lol

I have 3 things to accomplish today. They are:
1. Put away stuff from New Mexico--been on the dining room floor since May 1.
2. Put computer room in order.
3. Make a list of things to go to hospital--4 days left!!

Now that with my daily goals of staying on track and drinking water I have a full day!!

Be back later..........

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

"Morning loadies,

Well yesterday I decided to go back and read my first posts at DT. They were an eye opener especially when I saw "I'm the mother of two toddlers". Those toddlers are now 5 1/2 and almost 7. I lost most of my weight in the beginning so what have I been doing for the last 2 1/2 years. Actually if I had lost the two pounds a week like I planned I would be dead since I would have lost more than I weigh. If I had lost 1 pound a week I would be an anorexic 110#s but if I had lost 1/2 a pound a week I would be sitting pretty at a 2# under goal 178. So three years from now I will not be sitting here saying the same thing. I will get to goal and I will get to it by Oct. 2, 2003 which is my third year anniversry.

I started at 246#s and have gotten down to 211#s but am 2213s right now.

So today I will eat healthy and drink my water. I did weigh myself yesterday and I maintained my weight at 221. I haven't looked at my calendar to see how much a week I would have to lose to make my goal I just know I have to get mynose to the grind stone. I will have to work emotionally and physically. I know when I initially lost my weight I did my mountain walk a tleast three times a week, drank all my water and used ww points roughly counting them in my head. I will go pull out the fruits and vegetables I love but hardly ever eat. I will do that today.

Well that's what i'm up to what about you?

HI angels.....
I was at the end of my post and got kicked off....again! I've been having trouble with my phone line sice yesterday but the boot-off has been going on a couple of weeks...WAAAH!

Sharon....my one year DT anniversary is coming up in June and I've fallen off the fence more than once....each month! I will re-evaluate my motives/goals/options/ and do a Dr. Phil on myself....well, "Bren...how's that working for you"?

Lizzie! OMG! The farting Dr. tale and the one climbing up on the exa table with you! Thanks for the morning funnies! That was hilarious! Where do these people come from? How do we find
them?
Yep......Toby has been out of control lately....hmmm.....coincides with your trip to NM!

Well I will get gone before AOL gives me the boot again.....sure cuts into my play time.
Love and huggies wuggies..............Bren Have a good day!!

Hi Angel Sharon,
Yes you are an angel!! Look at how sweet you are to take care of your parents. That is not an easy job but you are there for them and they know it. Bless you heart!!!

I like the way you went back in time and reread your post. Good for you. Sometimes I think it is hard to keep going without looking back to see where we have been. My beginnings are very similar to yours. I also stayed within my points and drank lots of water and exercised.

~~~~~~~~

Morning Angels,

I am having a horrible time sleeping the last few nights. For example night before last. I stayed up watching tennis. By 3 AM I was still wide awake and had a 7UP and thought I will watch a movie and maybe fall asleep. Seems like I just closed my eyes when I felt something staring at me. Sure enough I opened my eyes and there was my little Cleo staring right into my face. She was very upset about somehting and wanted outside. Put her out and then Sophie came and got me back up . All this within 3 to 4 minutes.

Got both dogs back in the house and laid down on sofa to watch some movie. Barely closed my eyes and same feeling of being watched. Opened my eyes and there was Cleo again. Only this time she got up on the sofa with me and laid down on my back. Growled when I tried to push her off. Looked down at the floor and there was Sophie. Well they both jumped up and ran into the bedroom. Back they came to me wanting to sit on top of me.

This was making a very short night. Finally got both dogs off me and Sophie went to sleep with DH and Cleo got on her little bed in the living room. Just git quieted down and Cleo started raising hell again. Finally figured out with the help of some noise what was happening. Poor little dog was letting farts and they were scaring her. Every time she passed gas she made a fart noise and that scared her and she would either jump up on me or run to the bedroom. By now she had awakened my son . He got up and petted Cleo and help settle her down. Everything was back to normal by 7 AM but the new day had arrived.

Well then last night I was having trouble sleeping again and finally around 4 AM I finally fell asleep and little Cleo was back in my face. This time she wanted out, I thought. I stumbled out of bed and tried to put her out. She stopped at the refrigerator and wanted a cheese snack in the middle of the night! I made her go out anyway. Just as I started back to bed in walks Sophie she wants out. By this time son is up and getting ready for work. 5 Am and decided to forget going back to bed. Finally got both dogs out to potty and decided to stay up.

Got to thinking. I have my dogs so spoiled. I can predict the fuure. When I get out of the hospital someone else is going to have to get up with them to put them out at all hours of the night. Yep and it will be me!! More goes on here at night then most poeple have during the day.

All this night stuff going on I think because the dogs know how stressed I am about the surgery and they are reacting to me.

So Angels my goal for today is to destress!!!!!!!!! Breathing exercises and doing something physical so I can rest.

Also realized I am not feeling 100% due to having to stop taking some of my meds for Diabetes due to surgery. So seems my appetite is hovering on rage!! I really have to watch what I eat because I had to stop taking my meds. Have to work that out today. I just took my blood sugar level and it is very high!! Have to go call the doctor!

Check back in later.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good Morning All,

Well I actually took off from work last night. I have only taken two days off in five years not counting when I had the appenticitis. I had a sore throat and wicked headache so I slept most of the night. I am feeling a bit better this am. I took some excedrin migraine for my headache and my throat is a bit better.

Yesterday was a very hectic day I'll spare you the details but in involved running here and there and worrying but everyone is ok.

Today we are watching my friends daughter. They are in from Minneapolis for a wedding. We may take all the girls swimming at the hotel. I missed my weekly exercise running around on Friday nights at work for app. 5 hours.

Eating was ok yesterday. I only wanted soft so I had a banana, yogurt, 1/2 tunafish sandwich on white bread, spaghetti with butter, watermelon and ice cream. Ok, not so low in fat but no binging.

Today's goals are to feel better, drink my water and that's about it.

Make it a good one!

Good morning all........

I feel for you girls! Sharon, that cold got nasty in hurry! Take good care of yourself. Hope you feel better really soon. The stress has gotten you and little Lizzy both......coming and going.

Lizzie, that was funny about the dogs! I thought they wanted you to come to bed! Then I got to the Scary Farts part! Bless your heart! I've had one that David.....yes David did it......spoiled really bad. But aren't they precious?
I hope you can find some time to shut down and rest in the days ahead. I know what you're facing is difficult and scary. Do whatever you have to, to do your "de-stressing".......be good to you!

I'd better run and get ready for work. I went out last night and got some good exercise. I'dcalled Claude and asked him to come out and play.
I'll catch you all later!
Bren

Took a sneak peek at my weight and I am down 23s since Thursday. Yippee. I guess colds are good for something, weight loss~lol.

Make it a good one!

Afternoon Angels,

Been sitting here most of the day and trying to relax. Sure not getting the job done!!! I am making a huge pan of chili and double batch of oatmeal cookies with half raisin and half plain. My grandson is here and helping and so is DH.

Bren,
I think the awards went to Toby's head. Gonna have to smack him around a little. Two up side the head should be enough!! After all he has won too many awards and causing him to blur reality. Look how he left the truck unlocked!! Think I will make him sing for the nurses at the hospital. But then again they might want to sneak out with him. Can't have that.

Sharon, Hope you are feeling so much better . Good for you for taking the night off. We all should do that when we are sick! Hey Congratulations on your weight loss. Should have a reward for being sick! Get better quickly!!

Well I am off tofinish chili and bake rest of cookies!!!!!!!

Will be back later.
Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hi again! I'll definitely let you know when this little one is born. I've been walking like crazy the past few days trying to get her coming sooner... no such luck though, only more aches and pains! LOL. Turns out that my dr. is officially an idiot.. I have to test my blood sugar every day and it's normal. I'm not suffering from GD! He's gone for a three-week holiday so this was just an excuse to push me off to another dr. Oh well, such is life. Bren, I can't believe how bad luck you've had with your doctors!!! That just sounds scary.
I've got an appt. on the 10th, if Maya hasn't arrived by then we'll talk about inducing me. I'm getting so nervous and excited at the same time! Just can't wait.

Hope you've been sleeping better now, Lizzie.
Where's AJ? Thinking of you!

Good luck with your plans everyone!

Mari

Morning Angels,

Thanks Lizzie, Well I am not feeling much better and my glands are swollen so I think it is off to the dr. for me today. Living on meds Dayquil and Nightquil. If it was a simple cold it would be gone by now. Well I have to admit I have been eating ice cream every night, a lot of ice cream, but haven't eaten much else during the day so i guess that I haven't had two many calories for the day. I will get some frozen fruit pops today to replace the ice cream. yesterday we watched my friends daughter and swam at their hotel pool but today i will hang low which is ok since it is pouring out and windy. I swear it has rained 25 out of thirty days in May. Well atleast there won't be a drought like last year the reservoirs are full and almost overflowing from all the snow this winter and this crazy wet spring. The lake will be great for swimming until atleast September this year. Last year it was unbelievably low and I don't think we even swam in August.

OK, have a good one everyone.

Lizzie watch those oatmeal cookies they may just jump in your mouth~lol. Is your grandson taking your mind off the surgery. You know my Mom had the surgery a few years ago and did great. She was sorry she didn't have it done sooner. I'm sure you'll come through with flying colors.

Morning Angels,
I am not sure how this happened but I was sitting watching TV (Tennis of course) and the next thing I knew I had eaten 4 big oatmeal cookies with raisins!! Had a big cup of coffee with them. Must have been the cookie monster.

My grandson thought it was so cool to put a cookie for him in a pie pan and bake it. Now that is a big cookie. The ones I had were normal size compared to his. They were sooooooooo good. I haven't had homemade oatmeal cookies since last December. Now I won't have them again until next Dec.

Sharon,
Sounds like you have what my son has only you have it worse. He is going to doc Monday if he can get in. I have been sneezing like crazy and have a slight headache from all that but mine is allergies. Hope you get well soon!!! Miserable to be sick!!

I remember you saying your mom had knee surgery and did very well. I am not so concerned with the surgery itself and all that, my fears reside with the anesthesia. I have had problems a few times with it and I am a little leery of the whole anesthesia thing.
But I have to have it done and now. I have too much pain and can not do very much except walk to bathroom and kitchen (Of course) and then to living room. DH has to go out and do my personal shopping for me. So I just have to do it and hope for the best and make sure the anesthesiologist knows my concerns.

Did your mom have the total knee replacement--replacing with titanium and steel parts?? Don't remember if you said she had the repair surgery done or replacement. Good to hear she did great!!

Mari,
I'll be waiting to hear the good news!! When I had my 3rd son he was induced labor. Not sure I would ever go that route again. But then that was 32 years ago. OMG I am getting old. That is a laugh I am old!! Take care

Well haven't seen Bren this am!! Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy Bren are you UP YET??? Must had a wild night!!! Hope the boyz are behaving!!!

Okay now time for me to go back to bed. That way I can fall asleep watching tennis.

I will be back!!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Forgot to tell you Sharon. I love ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! YIKES no wonder I am fat!! I know how good the cold feels on the throat!!

My Mom had a total knee replacement. Yeah, I know what you mean about the anesteshia. I get very sick from it even when they give me the compazine for my stomach. hope you have a better time with it. I am a whimp when it comes to meds I always throw up pain killers. I guess Steve will never be able to kill me with an overdose~lol. Not that he would ever want to kill me. ok maybe sometimes. maybe he takes the kids to an overpacked kids movie today!

Hi girls!
I'm up and running. Once I got up I was fine! I had to clean house this morning and wasn't looking forward to it! I was so busy at work yesterday that I was honestly too tired to do any of it last night.
I went out again, Claude came later so I missed like 8 dances. I left at 10:30. He wasn't happy and of course Idella was her mean spirited self, but hey.....it's about ME......and I will take care of ME!
When I'm ready to GO.....I'm gone!

I hope I have the phone thing fixed again. I had to disconnect every bloomin' thing, drag the computer desk out, of course and that is NOT an easy task. I did get that done last night but nothing else. So this AM, got my house in order, went to the store for more veggies and salad. Found some cute little sweet peppers, tri-color. Now it's break time! I still need to sort laundry and I may cook something. I enjoy my Sunday mornings.......that's putter time usually.

Yep, Toby is getting too big for his britches, Lizzie. He needs to come out of 'em..........He can do that here! LOL!
Oh yum....cookies! ME SOME TOO! How cute! Making gs a Monster cookie! That would be fun. I used to do those things with Laura when she was a kid. Now she will do 'em with her own!
She's not an official "angel" so Mari and AJ are up for grabs as our Snow Angel babies! The countdown is on for them both!

Sharon, get a big ol' juicy shot (ouch) to speed up recovery. I hope the girls don't ge as bad as you have. Congrats on the 2# no matter how it went! It sucks to be sick to do it tho!
And Lizzie.....I hope your son gets in to get some help too. We can't have our Lizzie getting ill, so put up the blocades!
