And It's a Twisted Tuesday Gang!

Good Morning Cali and a Happy Twisted Tuesday!

 

I cannot believe I woke up to what? Ah the silence of NO WIND!!!!  Almost deafening the silence it has been so bad lately! It has to be one of the worst years of wind I have seen here since I moved to the desert 8 years ago. Me eyes are super very unhappy!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes for my son's. They both said their dad took it rather well, but we are worried about the aftermath more now. Not sure about the date of the funeral as she is being transported quite a ways away from where she lived.  The boys and their wives and babies will be going. Sandy said they are all going to go in James's Denali and it ought to be interesting traveling with 2 babies....we are talking 10 hours + in traveling time. YUCK...no thank you!

Anywho...the day was rather uneventful for a Monday....great news on the boards!

Katt finally got a date...stop by and wish her well. She has had to jump through the hoops to get a date....and I know she is going to be a good life after wls person!

DeAnna is moving to Monterey.....congratulations on getting a new job and taking that bold move..hard and it wil be awesome that you have Jaime there for support!

Did you all check out the pics of baby Jordyn....wow is she a looker!!! I hope that I get to meet her Monica before she is walking and talking! Also I hope your first day of back to school went well. I am sure the kids were super glad to see you and even moreso Miss Jordyn when you got home!

Vicki...hang in there girl....you're one strong woman and with you getting through all this....it only makes you better and even more strong....I am proud of you!

Did you all check out the pics Nikki posted too...Nikki if you do not post a new board pic....I am going to have to come down there and sit on you until you do! You are so beautiful!

I am still running on brain dead mode and going to go back to bed and see if I can catch some winks before the day starts at 4:30.

All of you have a wonderful day and find that silver lining in it no matter what!!!

PEACE OUT!!!!  

Morning Janine & Everyone, Well my mom said screw it and drove home in the wind, she is gonna be pissed when I tell her there is no wind today, lol. Not to mention she is pouting already about leaving and said the wind makes being here easier. HeHe no wind there mom. OK ya so I am being a little mean, but she has been going to the desert for months at a time, its about time she spends some time here!! I put up a new board pic, one taken just Saturday. Isnt it showing? Sometimes I think OH doesnt like me. They take forever to get my new pics to show. Thank you for the compliment, I am trying to work my tool the best I can. Hope you were able to get some more sleep. I was up at 3:00, even though I didnt have to be up until 4:10 and layed in bed until 3:30 then just gave up and got up. I miss really good nights sleep!! Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Be good to yourselves and those around you!!

Good Morning Calif.....

Today is my frist day riding my bike to work. I am bite scared becouse of the traffic, but its going to fine. I just need to take that frist step. I have my helmet and lock, got most of my lunch ready last night, so all I have to do is pack it and get dressed and head out. I am giving myself 45 minutes, and think since I can walk it in that time, I think that should be more then enough time. I took my shower last night so my hair would not be wet this more making me colder then ice. LOL

I guess I need to get moving.

Sending love out to all

Good morning Janine and Calif friends!   Oh my, back to work.  so hard to get up.  We had a wonderful trip to Monterey.  DeAnna I am so jealous!!!  Best of wishes to you! I went with my husband to golf Poppy Hills and it was so beautiful!  Now I know why he golfs.....who could not love being out in the most beautiful places.  We spent a day in Big Sur and Carmel, and a lot on the beach, wharf and cannery row in Monterey.  It just felt so good to get away for a while!  And everything was great when we got home.  3 years ago on a trip to Monterey our home was burglarized badly so it is very hard to leave some times.  We still go through the emotional thingee. Katt - Congrats to you girl!!!  Awesome!  You have been through so much and maybe this is the beginning of something GREAT!  I still say God never takes away anything without giving us something better in return! Jodi - I hope you are doing better!  I worry about you my friend!  I hope you are taking good care of yourself. Well, I had better get it in gear!!!  I hear the whistle blowing.....You ALL have a wonderful Tuesday! Love, Jeni

I love golf. I would have NEVER thought that would be for me. But you are so right. One of courses we golfed in Vegas OMG!! It was just a cheap course, but so beautiful compared to the ones around here.

 You should take it up.

GOOD MORNING JENI THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF ME. WHAT A GAL. I THINK..(KNOCK ON WOOD) I AM DOING BETTER, I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT TO LOUD. LOL....  I PLANTED SOME FLOWERS THIS WEEKEND AND SO FAR SO GOOD. NOW MY BACK DIDN'T EXPECT THAT BUT IT'S NOT PUTTING UP TO BIG OF A FIT. I'M REALLY SURPRISED ALSO THAT I FEEL AS GOOD AS I DO. I'M NOT USE TO DOING ANYTHING BUT SITTING ON THE COUCH VEGITATING.  I THINK THIS WILL BE A GOOD THING FOR ME. AT LEAST I WILL BE OUT SIDE IN THE BACKYARD TO BLOW THE STINK OFF ME AND STRETCH SOME MUSCLES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN USED IN A WHILE. ( LOL) I SURE AM GLAD YOUR BACK YOU WERE MISSED AROUND HERE. TAKE CARE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

Good morning Janine and all my cali buds Janine - so glad that the horrible wind has stopped for you - I hate when its windy - my allergies go nutso.... Not much planned for me today - maybe some crafting - not sure....I did have a couple of wow moments this weekend and yesterday.  On sat I went to a friends 60th birthday party.  Well her brother was standing there in a small group with me and we were all talking and he says "I don't think we have met" to me....I say " well yes we havem remember I used to come and watch you guys bowl"  He looks at me and just says "Oh My Gawd...." as he is looking me up and down..lol..."Wow, you look great, I can't believe it"  He went on and on....it felt pretty darn good thats for sure.  Then yesterday as I was taking out the trash, my neighbor that lives behind me was out doing some yard work, and as I walked by and said hello, she had this shocked look on her face and just went on and on about how much weight I had lost and she almost didn't know it was me.  (I don't see her much as she stays in her house when she is home - and when not in her house she is off traveling).  I have to say it really feels great when people don't recognize me....definitely boosts the self esteem and ego. So enough about me.....its time to go get some coffee and read the paper. Hope everyone has a great day  Big hugs to all....oh and Steve-O - hope you are feeling lots better, and Diane - how's the new knee doing?

Good Morning Janine and Crew!

Just a quick type by, I slept horribly last night, finally got up, been puttering about the house and now I feel like I might be able to sleep a little, so I think I am going to crawl back into bed for a little while. =/

I hope everyone has a GREAT Tuesday!

Morning and thank you again for your kind words.  I had a major breakdown yesterday, told my kids that mommy was going to nap and then cried for about an hour and then fell asleep for about another hour.  This morning, I am still kind of weepy.  I know that it will pass once I get back into the groove of things around here.  But, right now- just so sad.  I REALLY hate feeling this way!!   I need to start planning on something to look forward to.  I already know that we will be in San Diego for parts of the summer, but I would really like to find something/where that I can go without the kiddos, you know?  Even if it was a day to the coast or a weekend in San Fransisco (I have been talking about wanting to do that for months and months now....I just need to make it happen!) Anyway, anything that would be just for ME time.  And cruises are out of the question because I promised Mike I wouldnt go on another one without him and besides, I am trying to set us up on one 8 day cruise in Jan 09. Well, I need to get those kids of mine up and at 'em.   I hope that everyone has a fantastic day.  I sure will try on this end! Thank you for always having words of encouragement for me.  Some days I just don't feel that strong and I appreciate that you all can see a strength in me that I sometimes forget that I have.....

Good Morning.  Janine, again I am so sorry for your boys> Ihope dad does not go nuts on them and make them pay for this. I feel for Scott & James.  Wow road trip with 2 babies.  fun......NOT. Well, I am not sure if you saw but we saw the ENT yesterday for Lindsey and she said that the biopsy was reactive which correlates with some kind of an infection that she had and her body was fighting hard to keep it at bay.  She said the mass is significantly smaller and it is now movable instead of being solid!!!! She wants to re ultrasound her neck in 4 months. OK and tomorrow I leave for CABO baby for 5 days.  I really need to go somewhere.  We should ahve fun.  I have all of the bags either packed or nearly packed.  I will put everything in mine tonight after work.  Chuck is packed, Lindsey is packed, Phillip is packed..  I will check them all to make sure they didn't forget important stuff like underware, bathing suits clothes.Just the important stuff. Love Ya Liz
