Sunday Roll Call

Good Sunday Morning to one and all in "Lincoln Log Land"  Not much for me today other than we are going shopping for groceries, probably to Wally World or Target and Home Depot. Then rest for me for the day and have our left over pizza from Friday night. The reason I am going to rest  is that I had a really full day at Navy Pier with the LWB team at the Diabetes Expo yesterday. Dr Rosen spoke; we had many prospective/future patients  stop by. Myself and another lady on the team were able to answer people's questions about our PO lives. Especially Linda because they were all very interested in her having the lap band. Our booth was in a great location across from the speaker's stage and near to the entry to the expo. It is so neat to be a part of events like this because it keeps you motivated and you stay focused with your PO life.  What is going on in your life today? Not much can be done outsite today up here in the northern 'burbs as it is too wet. I have seen tulips popping up and also some that were really sheltered just about ready to bloom. Friday I saw some daffodils blooming. So, I promise you spring will arrive soon - just a little behind schedule from the calendar.  & Christine

Good morning Christine and Illinois! Everyone must still be sleeping this morning....I know I'd rather be in bed right now.  Had to take pills at 7 and once I'm up..I'm up for the day. Looks kind of gloomy out there.  I was so exhausted when I went to bed last night. DH and I walked around walmart for over an hour(needed to get a walk in), got home and Ava and Vince and mom came to spend the day with grandma and grandpa. I love them so much, but they were just tiring. How do you explain to  a 3 & 2 yr. grandma can't pick you up today....42 times!  They kept wanting to see my "ouchies". The 2yr old was mesmerized by the tapes and kept saying "cut". When they went home I just sat in the recliner and fell asleep. My husband woke me at 11:30 and asked if I wanted to go to bed. He could have left me in the recliner. Hopefully today will not be as hectic. Have a great day!

Good Morning Chris & IL Glad to hear Dr. R had a good turn out at the Diabetes Expo.  I did not know anything about it but I mentioned it to Calvin at lunch yesterday after readinig your message yesterday and he knew but had forgotten about it. I'm working this morning for a few hours then have the rest of the day to relax.  I do have some housekeeping to take care of.  Calvin is off today so we may hit a movie or something.  We went to a home show yesterday but neither of us were impressed.  It's a good thing it was free. The craft show was just a craft show.  It had many of the same exhibitors with the same stuff. What can I say???  Not much impressed me yesterday.  I did buy a little apron for my granddaugter, it's so cute.  She's six and thinks she's Paula Dean in the kitchen.  Loves, Loves, Loves to cook.  She must get it from Calvin.  So I'm going to send her a little package w/ a cake mix, frosting, the apron and some other goodies. Nothing else going on.  Hope everyone has a great Sunday! Christina

Good morning Christine, Carol and the rest of IL,  Christine, sounds like you had a good time yesterday, and very rewarding, I know I love to talk to other people about my surgery in hope's that I can help someone else to  change their live for the better, I too love to help people. For me today we are going to breakfast with my HD family then home, the Sun is shining here today but cold. but I hear that tomorrow will be better,  spring is coming..... 

Good Morning Illinois, Janet. can I join you for breakfast? We use to go for breakfast almost weekly, but, now, since i don't eat as much, I hate the prices they charge.  I did have an omelet this morning. one egg and sliced bannanas in it. I know, its weird but trust me, its good. Carol, It sounds likje you had a great day yesterday, Christine too.I stayerd in all day yesterday and worked on my closet. Ya know the old saying, "I don't have a thing to wear?" Well, its almost true. 5 30gal. bags of clothes came out of my closet. Alot of it was stuff that I figured I would get back into someday, now is to big, and I will not be getting back into, someof it was just to old and worn to want to wear, and the rest was stuff I am giving to a coworker. Today, I am getting dinner started for us, laundry, and probly get into the back closet and see if anything in there will fit  in with the new me. Also will be exerciseing at some time.  Spring is coming, The grass is green, the trees and bushes are budding out, Maybe in time for Lucy's party.

Hugs to all.

Good morning Christine and the rest of Illinois! I just got up a short time ago for the second time.  this time, I will stay up! We wound up going into Rockford last night to my in-laws house and didn't get home until 1 am!  I fell asleep in the recliner over there about 10 though, so I got plenty of sleep.  They were having a poker party and we just kind of hung out. Today, I have some house clening to do to get ready for the committee meeting we have tonight.  Liv has softball practice and then they are all going in to the Ice Hogs game.   I need to figure out what's for dinner.    I was going to make a lamb roast, but with the tight schedule, we won't really have time to enjoy it, so I will do it next week. My New Orleans trip has been settled.  My aunt and I will be going down on the train they call the "City of New Orleans" on Friday the 25th.  We will take Mark's ashes down and spread them on Sunday.  I will fly home on Monday and she is going to stay down there for a while with her other family members.  I'm kind of excited, because I always thought it would be kind of cool to travel by train.  The bad news is that I won't be down there long enough to really enjoy the city.  Oh well......maybe another time.

Good Morning All, I just got up and it is 11am or 1130am. It is dreary out and going to rain. It is about 75 here in Florida.  We may go for a ride today. I planted a herb garden last Monday and they are doing great. Not sure why my chives arent coming up yet. Maybe to early. I planted them from seeds. I was going to go to St Augestine today but we havent left yet. Maybe this afternoon as it is only a 3 hour drive. Well see and if we go we will stay overnight somewhere. Hope all is well. Carla

Good morning, or should I say afternoon.  Nothing much going on here.  Have some housecleaning to do, and then I think I will find a movie to watch or sit down with a book.  Same ole same ole going on with me.  Back isn't any better.  Please do know if I don't post everyday, I am thinking about you all. Dee

Hi Illinois! This has been a lazy day of reading and napping for me. I really do enjoy these kinds of days. Yesterday I knit for a couple of hours at the knitting shop which was fun. I was able to find a pattern for a jacket which I will make to take to Europe this summer. Wish I knew exactly which size to make it!

Like Dee said, I read this every day even if I don't post.

Good evening. Lazy Sunday for me, read the newspapers, did some shopping, got in a walk and a hike. Still on purees here and having trouble getting all my protein in.
