Tuesday Roll Call

Good Morning Delaware !  It is still a little wet here in Lower Slower Delaware but it is nice out. NOT REAL STINKING HOT !!!  Things are good this a.m. Bob tried new pain patches last night that seemed to work good. He is having problems swallowing and is starting something for infection today. I had a decent day yesterday. Baked my mini muffins. Sent some to Debbie's house. My son tore them up. I have to admit the banana ones were great. The zucchini was ok. You would never know they were made with splenda. I am going to try the recipe for peanut  butter  cookies B.J. posted today.  I did talk with Heather this a.m. She is doing ok now but was really in alot of pain from her surgery and kind of out of it for awhile. Welcome back Heather  and Cathy !!!  Amy how was your first day back at work ? What is all  up to today ? I see we have alot of lurkers !!! Please join in anytime ! We would love to here from all and get the board hopping again. Have a blessed day. See all lighter. joanne

Good day everyone!

Thanks Joanne for the update on Heather-I was thinking about her.  I met her at the Support Group meeting and I knew she was very concerned about her surgery. I am glad she is doing better and I pray for her speedy recovery.  I am also glad your hubby is better today Joanne. 
I have been reading the Maryland forum as well as here since I have lived in Maryland all my life until 3 years ago.  I enjoy reading about everyone's experiences and thoughts about WLS.  Most of the people on there live across the bridge but they try to meet each other in person and even travel down this way to meet some of the people from this side of the bridge.  I saw where several of them met in Ocean City. I think that is great! I would love to meet  alot of you ladies in person in Delaware!! How fun would that be to meet each other!
 There is a gentleman on the Maryland forum that wrote about each of us being speical and that we shouldn't forget that no matter what size we are. I know I tend to compare myself to the thin person and feel I am not as attractive, etc.  But that is not so!  I am a outgoing, caring and loving person even tho I am not thin!
I guess I just wanted to remind everyone how special we all are and to appreciate who we are no matter the size.
Again, I love reading this forum- and as Joanne says,please join in with your thoughts and advice!
Have a great Tuesday! Debbie

Debbie, Some people from Maryland comes to the Seaford meeting that Heather holds. Find out where they meet in OC and we will go. We can all meet in person. It's just a matter of putting it out there on the board.  Some people come to the beach and could meet here or we could all meet in Dover or anywhere.  I'm going to post a summer with friends offer from the outlets. Lets see if anyone is interested for some Saturday. I must say I love your post. You Go Girl !!!! See you lighter. Joanne

its good to see so many positive things going on.   I read about the outlet deal it seems pretty good but i wouldnt be able to participate.     Its good to see people are doing well after surgery. 
Those peanut butter cookies did look good, i want to try them too maybe next week......I love PB cookies.
My first night at work was very good......we had no calls all night.  The most we did was take the ambulance to the mechanic  to get a headlight replaced ( all of 2 minutes ).  I go back tonight and your always  afraid that you get that one night with nothing the next may be busier than busy.  so we did nothing and my alarm went off at 0630 I got up to get ready to go home and day shift walked in and before they could both get clocked in the pager went off and they were on the way to Kent to pick up someone and i was on my way home. we will see what happens when i go in tonight at 7.

Im gonna do a little cleaning then i hopefully i can take a nap before work.
I hope everyone stays cool its hot out there.

Amy, Where do you work ? Glad you had a good night. See you lighter. Joanne

Hi all I have been MIA with all the summer happenings.  THings have been going very well for me.   I am starting to recover from my divorce, which is a hard pill to swallow, but it is what it is.  Anyhow I was kept busy much of the weekend with lots of bbqs and pool parties.  It was nice to be able to get out there and socialize and feel like part of the gang again.  (Alot of our friends were mutual)  Anyhow, I'm back posting, yesterday was an exhuasting day for me to be at work and lots to do.

Hope everyone is doing well......

Michelle, Glad you bounced back. Life is to short. Sounds like you had a very good weekend. YOU GO GIRL ! Seeyou lighter. Joanne

Hello Delaware, I am working all week 10am to 530pm, then I go to church and help with Vacation Bible School until 830pm.  Not eating dinner until late, but trying to keep it a light meal.  The dr's just put me on Prednisone for my allergies that I have found out that I have when I moved down to lower/slower Delaware/Eastern-Mid shore MD.  So I need to be careful for the next week on eating and making sure I get lots of fluids in to keep everything flushed so I don't gain too much weight. 

Joanne, I will post my recipes that I got off of foodtv.com for the zucchini bread with and without the chocolate chips from Paula Dean.  I also got this awesome honey mustard bbq sauce from there from Rachel Ray.  These were all with sugar or brown sugar but I used the Splenda or the brown sugar Splenda.  Everything was awesome.  The zucchini cakes I made I made like I was making crab cakes but where they called for crab I used the grated zucchini.  Everything was so awesome.  I just love to cook so any time I can get in the kitchen I am beside myself.  I am eating healthier and better then I have in a long time. 

Have a great day.

Deanna, Thanks for sharing with all. Debbie and I are going to be doing vacation bible school in 2 1/2 weeks. Just the week the grandkids will be back. We are going to rest up now. What age are you working with?  Glad to hear you are eating healthy and keep passing anything healthy on to us. See you lighter. Joanne

Joanne, could you let me know your VBS schedule, location, times, etc.? My kids would love to attend!
