Sunday Roll Call

Good Morning IL - Happy Sunday to all.  I woke up this morning feeling fairly rested after being so tired yesterday.  I'm already at work and will be here until about noon.  Then I have to work at 5:30 at the restaurant. I did not make it to Linens N Things yesterday so that is on my list of things to do.  I bought some curtains for my kitchen last week and of course, no surprise to me, bought the wrong length.  I'm not 100% sold on them.  I kinda forced myself to buy them because I had a $100. gift card but geez oh weez that place is not cheap.  I used a 25% off my entire purchase, which saved me $110. then used my $100. gift card plus another $30. visa gift card and still ended paying $165. out of my pocket.  So my total damage was $300. which did include two small rugs.  Any suggestions on a good place to buy kitchen curtains?  I've been looking for quite some time and just can not find anything I "LOVE".   What's everyone have on there plate or platter today?   Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Monday is quickly approaching. Christina

Christina, we had the same idea, I just posted a roll call too.  I am glad you got some rest.  Just reading what you have been up too makes me tired...lol Have a good day!

Oh well, I guess you do what you gotta do.  Getting ready to put a daughter thru college and trying to rehab the house so we can get top dollar when we are ready to move to NC takes lots of $$$$.  At this point w/ the economy the way it is, I'm very grateful to have two jobs. Hope you have a good day too! Christina

Good Morning Christina and Dee,  I see I am not the only one up early on this sunny Sunday morning. They are saying rain for tomorrow. Christina, what do you do in your day job? It seems that you work 7 days a week.  I need to exercise this morning, Yesterday I did a good walk, between the rain and snow. I also need to do the usual Sunday laundry and get things ready for the week. I also want to get the outfit out that I am wearing for Easter Brunch, and make sure it fits me, If it doesn't ( because its to big) I will go to plan B or C. I am glad the candy season is just about over. The only Easter candy in the house is the stuff for the GD's Easter Basket. I just got her a few things, then I will place a few dollar bills in some plastic eggs, and put them in her basket too.  Today I am going to make corn beef and cabbage. Dh is English/ Irish and loves corn beef. Cant do it tomorrow, since I will be getting home to late to start it.  Have a good day. Hugs Lisa

Good Morning Lisa - I work in a calibration lab.  We calibrate tools for engineers that work on medical equipment.  Not the most exciting job but it's a job.  Yes, we typically do work six or seven days a week and long hours. I bet that Easter outfit is too big!  That would be a good thing.  I'll be shipping out easter baskets tomorrow for my granddaughters.  I've not been tempted with the goodies but Calvin sure has.  I need to get it out of sight.  I've been hiding it.  I did buy a sugar free chocolate marshmellow egg yesterday at Walgreens and they can keep the rest of them... yuck!    I crave that stuff from time to time but it's never as good as I once remember it to be.  Corn Beef & Cabbage sounds good.... I have to work both jobs today and tomorrow.  I wonder if I could do a crock pot or post pone it until Tuesday.  I'm off at the restaraunt Tuesday evening.

Have a great Sunday. Christina

Crock pot is the only way to do it. Lisa

Good Morning Illinois... I have been MIA due to being so sick... On Tuesday my 7 and 8 year old came home from school with sore throats... they both had strep... I woke up early Friday morning and could barley swallow... same with DH so we went to the Dr. and both have strep... Along with it I have another cold... I feel terrible! Yesterday was my daughter Serenity's 13th Birthday... We went to a few Easter Egg Hunts and tried to see Horton Hears a Who but it was sold out... We had plans to leave for Kentucky on Friday but cancled those plans due to all of us not feeling well...  Today we are going to church we have a luncheon afterwards then we are going to try to see Horton Hears A Who again... Sorry I haven't made it on for what seems like forever... I have a lot of catching up to do on the boards... I hope all is well with all of you... Have a Blessed Sunday Love Jenn

Good Morning to all, I havnt been on here as much as I would like but things have been crazy. WE just recently bought a house and I swear it has not been updated since 1969 and Im being serious. If I see any more green in a kitchen, UGH!! Just got done gutting the kitch and wnt to Menards and spent way ot much on everythin for it. I was kinda clueless to whole redoing aspect I didnt realize their was so much that goes into the whole project. I give anybody credit who does this alot.  I weighed myself this weekend and I am done to 197. That is pretty cool to me. I really havent noticed that big of a difference but more ppl around me are noticing it. I have really been getting heartburn lately so I am going to ask the dr about it and have them get me something because it just kills me.  I wish all of you with your surgery dates coming up the best and I wish everyone else the best. Take care and think spring... Measha

UGH! I am so not ready for Monday to be here...I wi**** was still Saturday. It is now day 2 of my ethiopian diet and it blows...I'm still trying to struggle through it although today I woke up in horrible pain. Doc told me about a week ago my labs came back and showed I had a UTI...well a few days later she finally called in a RX and I began taking it a few days ago, Now there is so much pain in my lower back on both sides. I am just sitting on the reclining loveseat now with the heating pad on full blast and watching some tv as well as stalking on the boards.

The doubts are starting regarding the surgery. I really didn't think I would have them, but I see that I as well will be going into this with cold feet and nothing but doubts. I try to remind myself of why I am doing this, but its hard sometimes, you know? I look forward to being able to see the scale drop below 300!

So anyway, I haven't weighed myself this morning, but I plan to later. I hope to lose between 20 and 30 lbs all together prior to surgery.

Well happy sunday all!

Almost everyone has doubts. You wouldn't be normal if you didn't. Just remember, you are doing this for you. For a better life, better health, better at doing things you haven't done, or haven't done lately. You will be fine, and yes, you will get through the liquid diet. Hope you feel better. Lisa
