Weekend Roll Call!!

Good Morning Everyone...

Thought I would try to post a weekend roll call to see who was around and willing to chat.  With the holiday weekend upon us it has me up and started with a busy busy weekend.  Need to get a friend up off the sofa here in a few minutes and get her started for the day.  Then after brunch with a friend we are off to do some grocery shopping and maybe just some shopping in general.  After shopping this afternoon when it's home to get some cooking done for  a 4th of July get together we are all going to on Monday  and then hopefully some relaxing and maybe a movie late tonight. (if I survive that long).

So what happening with everyone today??

 Good Afternoon Kris.

I was up and out of the house relatively early today (9a.m) in order to beat the impending heat of the day. Went to SuperFresh to buy the ingredients for the side dish (Lemony Quinoa) which I'm bringing to my cousin's BBQ tomorrow. 

If it wasn't so incredibly hot out I would take my pup to the dog park.  But instead, we'll be staying indoors where it's nice and cool.

Hope you survived all your errands today.  :-)   Have a great holiday.    Nina

Hey Kris,

How's it going? I'm trying to get 3 lazy butts up off of the couch right now!
Going to go to the grocery store and get stuff to make a fruit salad, pasta salad, grilled chicken and any other good thing I see.

Have you been to Park West diner lately?

CYA,
Judy

 I've never heard of the Park West diner.  Where is it??

Park West Diner is on Route 40 and Salem Church Rd.
I like going there.  They never have a problem splitting a meal with my husband.  They will even put the one meal on two plates instead of just giving us an extra plate.
The hostess had RNY so they understand!

Hi Kris.....  I just got in from shopping at Trader Joes'.  Bought so much fresh fruit and veggies....you would think more people lived at my house than there is.  Found out late that my daughter is working late at the mall....so I will be cooking a simple supper of scrambled eggs and veggies.

My DH, Charlie had his rotor cuff operated on Friday. Due to complications he won't be home til Sunday or Monday. Dr.Joseph Mesa, Ortho Specialist operated on him. He operated on my broken wrist a couple yrs ago. I told him to treat Charlie's arm like he was a pitcher for the Phillies and it is worth a million bucks. Now we just gotta knock him out for 6 weeks so it'll heal.

Good luck trying to do that. Needless to say I spent the last 2 days at the hospital. Thank God I was able to pack my bag in the morning. I had my protein drink, crystal lite Iced tea. Yogurt. I did buy a salad in the cafeteria today. I thought he was coming home so I packed breakfast only. Didn't get to the gym. I get real b_ _ _ _ y when I don't go.
Well tomorrow is another day. Happy 4th everyone. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hey Rose. I live 5 minutes away from Trader Joe's. Will have to meet up sometime.

Hi Elisa......I am at Trader Joe's almost every weekend.  I love that store.  I recently joined Massage Envy and get a massage once a month.  I have had two so far and both have been heavenly.  If you ever want a massage....I can get you one for $39.00 for an hour. 

Please let Charlie know that I am praying for him.  I have seen people doing physical therapy for a rotor cuff......and the pain they felt was right up or maybe more painful than the knee replacement. 

Let me know when you want to get together.  It will be fun.  **hugs**  Rose

I am in here in New Orleans for the national Education Assoc. Conference.  I have been here since last Tuesday and will be here until Thursday.  This is my first trip post RNY....I miss my scale and my regular foods.  I HATE having to eat processed foods all the time.  I am trying to make a protein shake in the morning ( I feel naked if I don't have one in the morning - like I lost my underwear!).  Then I did pack portein chips since I am sitting in a meeting all day.  I found some tuna fish, but I am now finding I HATE EATING OUT!!!!!

Leaving now to go see the fireworks on teh Missippi.

Kris, Glad to see someone did role call. I have been busy with kids all weekend and working. Didn't do any cooking. Shopped and did errands in free time. Glad to see all had a good holiday. I;m waiting for my grandkids to return now. One is coming in the door as I type. See you lighter. Joanne
