Good Sunday morning to everyone. We still have one more day to the weekend yippie-skippie. What is on everyone's agenda today  For me the day will just kind of be a layed back day and I will futz around the house. I kind of let the kitchen island get covered in clutter the last few days and it needs attention. It will not take too long. Dave and I also need to do some prelimary planning for our new Off the Wall Bed (Murphy Bed) that we ordered yesterday. We have a few things to do like painting the living room and hallway, figure out what to do with the sound components (we have a record player and a gazzillion vinyls), wall decorations, taking the couch out etc. It was so great to meet all of you yesterday at Lucy's clubhouse. What a great one. I have seen some crummy ones in the past but her's is cared for by her complex. You could see that they take pride in it. (they did have the racks in the fridge backwards and upside down and I flipped them, I am anal about stuff like that). Lucy, thank you so much for putting all the time and effort into yesterday even if we needed to postpone if from last year. I think that is why there was such a great turnout because so many more could come and were relaxed and not rushing around because of the holidays.  Well need to get moving here and face the day. Have a great day all.   & Christine

Good Morning IL family.

Looks like a great time was had by all yesterday at Lucy's.  I am SO happy for you all.  It's probably a good thing that we didn't come,  I have been fighting these horrible lower ab gas pains since last night and they hurt!!  I finally went to the bathroom just a little bit ago, but it's still a little painful yet.  I was up about 4 times last night and I am SO tired today.  I think that I will be going back to sleep here shortly. 

I have also noticed horrible dry mouth overnight as well.  Never during the day, but at night it's so bad that it almost makes me gag....any ideas?

Today I am doing not much, resting, sipping and walking....the story of my life lately!  lol

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Monica

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Good morning Christine, Monica and Janet. Yes, we had a great time! We had enough room to mingle around and talk. Everyone seemed to be comfortable, even the kids. Clean-up was a breeze because everyone was so clean and neat... We didn't even have a liquid spill anywhere! I finally got to meet my naughty partner in crime, Pam! Thanks to everyone for making this party a success! We are a great group of people. Can't wait for the next one. Today I have family obligations. I'm going over to my mom's for celebrating my sister's and stepdad's birthdays. So the day is shot. Tomorrow, it's back to work and being busy. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. The sun is shining and it's going to be a warm day. Hugs, Lucy

Good Morning Christine and the rest of the Illinois Board. I just want to say that I had fun last night, at Lucy's, and cannot wait until we get together again. It is so nice that we all get to know one another and that there aren't any  "strangers"  at our get togethers.  I would like to say Happy Passover to Ronna.  Today I need to run to the store for a few things, I want to make some trail mix or granola today. I find I like to snack on this, it gives a crunch. Plus its whole grain. I also sprinkle it on my cream of wheat in the mornings, again for the crunch.  Then, later today, we will be going to our DDs for our Passover Seder. I know I confuse some people, I am Jewish and my husband is Catholic, so we tend to celebrate both Jewish and Christian Holidays.  I also have to do laundry .  I have to agree with Christine, its time to get moving. Hugs to evryone.

Good Morning Christine and the rest of Illinois! It was so good to see everyone last night, we will have to do it again soon.  Maybe at Glenda's, since she was so nice to offer.  Liv said that she really had a lot of fun and was glad that she was allowed to come.  Thanks again, Lucy. Christine, please send me your recipes from last night.....you know me, I love to collect them all! It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day today.  Is it too soon to plant outdoors?  I am itching to get my gardens going. I will be fairly busy today.  Liv has to be in Juda for a softball camp, the boys will be home around 3, and I am putting a leg of lamb in for dinner.    In addition, I will be getting ready for our sample night at support group tomorrow and putting a few things aside for my New Orleans trip. I also need to get my pictures from last night onto my profile, so I'd better get moving....... Have an awesome day all!

The Swiss Canoe races were a blast to watch or maybe Dave and I were drunk. OH - I guess we were drunk as we found the one and only bar in Rock City beforehand after the pancake breakfast!! LOL   I am not sure if the bouncie person is because we found the one and only bar in Rock City or saw the Swiss Canoe Races!  Dawn explained them to me before we went to The Rock City Days. I did not figue them out until after we saw the races. You have to be there and they are so much fun to watch. I think that I have some pictures also and I will look for them and post them on my profile. They are harder than you think  and you have to be there to experience them (and laugh, HAHA). Chris ps - Dawn - besure to brace the rest of the town that the OH group is coming!!! Hey - we might outnumber the town's citizen's!!!!!

The recipes are on today's recipe of the day thread. Pictures of the tomato spread and the eggs are on my profile. I could not figure out how to add the actual pictures to my post with the recipe. Christine I messed up yesterday and forgot to bring copies of the recipes with.
