Sunny (HA!) Sunday

Hey gang,

Just checking in to see what's up, and apparently NOTHING!!!   What's with everyone?

Hope you are all having fun and doing "stuff" that keeps you away. I'm gonna start checking the effectiveness of my deodorant pretty soon!

Just dropped in myself and i don't smell anything so the deodorant must be OK.    Weekends always seem to be pretty quiet here. 
Pretty quiet weekend in the Mowery household.   Yesterday was a day of running errands and today was Church and a quiet afternoon.  
Dian and I both had a stomach virus yesterday so didn't eat much -- feeling fine today though.  
I am ready to do some fun stuff.  Planning to play golf on Saturday.
Hope all is well with everyone.

 Glad you're both feeling better, Steve. I haven't had a stomach bug since my rny...is it any different than before?  Yucky subject I know, but what haven't we talked about here?

It was my plan to sleep in this morning..come hell or high water. Forgot to factor in husband, who decided at 6:45 that going out to breakfast might be a good idea. I could have shot him!!!  Oh well, off we went and shared a nice meal at Delicious Temptations on Rodney Parham. After that we took a long drive through Saline Co looking for a possible area to build a house. Lots of pretty places, but all of this is still a long way off.

Came home, had a lite beef hot dog in a lite bun and took a nap. Got that extra sleep in spite of Gary...LOL

Okay, that's it for now. See ya later!

Sorry you didn't get to sleep in today, but sounds like a nice morning out with Gary anyway.

As to the stomach bug, it wasn't really any different than before surgery.   It wasn't real severe.  I never threw up presurgery and I haven't since surgery.   Sometimes that's good - sometimes it would probably be better to just get it out.  I still felt the same kind of nausea as presurgery and it progressed to intestinal (just like it always did before) and then ended.   Everything was fine today.

Well yesterday, my daughter & I went all the way to Kroger only for everyone to decide to do the Hot Dog booth today instead of yesterday (since it was sprinkling rain yesterday).

So we went back home yesterday.  But my husband & I went on a date last nite to see Madea Goes to Jail since our son was gone to a friend's house & our daughter was gone to my mom & dad's.  That was fun.

So then today we all got back up & went back to Kroger & did the Hot Dog booth today.  We raised a little over $100 in just 3 hours.  James was happy w/ it.  I wanted to make more - but it was dreary and COLD - so I guess I'm happy with it too. 

I told him next year, we need to advertise and maybe invite a radio station or something (or at least have them ADVERTISE it for us).  They'd probably have done it for free since it was all for charity.  Who knows.

So that's where I've been. 

In parting, I'd like to say that I dread work tomorrow and I need a vacation. 

Dates are GOOD!!!   I'm glad you two got some time together. Gary and I took the day today to just hang out together. No work, no Saint Bella, just us. We just don't have any time with each other anymore with everything that we're both doing.

$100 is great, considering what kind of a day it was.  Good work, I say!

Take care

Amen on the dreading work tomorrow.   As to the vacation, I'd choose Hawaii.   Well, either Hawaii or Conway.

CONWAY?? Did I miss a memo?  Not a bad place, but I'll take Hawaii, thank you very much!

Hi Susan and Steve and everyone else in this wonderful state that we call home!

This has been one of the best weekends in a long time! The hockey game Friday night was fun but Oaklawn on Saturday was AWESOME! Eric and I had so much fun....we had seats inside but I think we may have sat in them a total of 5 minutes the whole time we were there. I wanted to be outside against the wall right up close to the horses! They are such beautiful animals! It was a great day and I definitely can't wait to go back.

Got up early for church this morning (very hard after that long drive back from Hot Springs last night....we got home at 3 am) and then we went to the country club for lunch afterwards. There was so much food to choose from and definitely a lot of tempting desserts but I was good....mainly because I can still only eat a small amount! LOL! Spent the rest of this chilly, foggy afternoon grading papers and working on report cards....want to get them done with and out of the way!

Got a little bit of exciting news to share with everyone....I am having brachioplasty (arm lift) on Thursday, March 19th at Springhill Surgery Center! Dr. Love and his nurse worked me in earlier than what I was originally scheduled for because I will be on Spring Break March 23-27 so that will give me some extra time to heal and to get back to tip top shape! Surprisingly, I am not too nervous but I'm sure I will be the closer the day of the surgery gets! Anyway, just wanted to share my news with y'all! I would appreciate any well wishes and prayers that y'all would be willing to send my way!

Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of this Sunday....its back to work tomorrow for most of us!

Sounds like a great day at the track.   It's really amazing how fast and powerful the horses are when you stand right next to the track as they run by.
Prayers going out for you.  Hope it goes real well for you.
