Wednesday Roll Call

We're almost to the weekend!  I'm happy today.  I had a little weight gain the other day, not sure why, but it's gone.  I need to loose 3 pounds over this next week or the doctor wants me back in the office.  So now I'm back on my way.  Work has been busy and my senior team member is going on vacation so I need him to complete several tasks before he goes.  He keeps getting pulled into other things and that makes it hard.  He's my best employee, but he's still only one man.  Hopefully, I can keep him focused today and send him off on a clean vacation!  Have a great day everybody!  Paul

Good morning Paul and all Illinois friends, Good luck on the 3lbs Paul, I am sure you will do just fine.  I am just getting ready for work as usual.  I can't believe its already July!  Anyone have plans for the 4th?  We are just hanging out at home.  Have a great day! Michelle

Good morning!

You all are up early today! This is my early day too! I'm also glad it's Wednesday and am looking forward to the weekend. We don't have any major plans. The Rockford fireworks are some of he best in the state we have heard, so we may go watch them. Otherwise, it will be a quiet weekend.

Take care!

Good Morning everyone! Nothing going on here, as usual! lol Just trying to figure out what to do with the boys today. We were planning to take them to the pool tonight, but we have a very good chance of rain, so I think they will be extremely disappointed I am going to try to make up for it during the day.... Hope everyone has a great day! I can't believe it's Wednesday already!

Good morning Paul and the rest of my IL family, for me today going with HD to his Dr. appt. and maybe make another blanket, I got one done yesterday and I did get the back proch cleanned, other then that not much going on, Paul I am sure you will get the 3 lbs off with no problems, How is your daughter? Hope she is feeling better now. Hope everyone has  great day.

good morning everyone!  good luck paul on your 3 lbs. you can do it!  my sitter is on vacation for the next two weeks so i am home with the kids during the day and then i run out and do some evening therapy sessions when my husband gets home from work.  i am steady on the weight loss but slowing down.  i have another fill coming up next week.  my husband started his 2 week protein diet yesterday and is getting ready for surgery on july 15th.  hope all is well!

Good Morning Paul and everyone,  Paul, do you know how amazing you are?  I read what you were telling Janet yesterday, and I was almost in tears myself.That was a great mitzvah. The lapband does that. You may gain a couple of #s, and then its gone.  Today I need to run through the house, and pay bills, and maybe go to Kmart for a couple of flowers. I need to fisish up some cleaning of the yard, that will be done either today or tomorrow.. we are having a family get together for the 4th. None of the kids have been here swimming this summer yet, so its a great day for that. The water is only 80, and I prefer it in the 90s. But the GD won't mind a bit.  Its Hump day, so the weekend will be here shortly. Have a good one. Hugs

Good morning Paul and my Illinois family! Paul..don't worry those 3 pounds will come off. How is your daughter feeling? Janet..I hope its nothing serious with Jim. Karey...the 15th will be here before Mike knows it. Is your kitchen complete? Lisa..have fun doing errands. My plans for the 4th are dependant on whether my son closes on his house. If he closes tomorrow we will be helping him clean and will cookout there. So I may not be on too often this week-end. I may just lurk for a few days. Update on my BIL...It appears the cancer was contained in the tumor and hadn't spread. Thank God!  He still needs to have the bone biopsy done to see what is going on there. Will keep you informed. Thanks for the prayers and good vibes! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Good morning Paul and the rest of Illinois! I hope Merideth is better today, tummy problems are no fun.  I have to say.....You win the "Cheerleader" award!!!!  Were you a motivational speaker in a former life?  Your responses to both Janet and Monica brought tears to my weepy eyes too.  Thank you for the wonderful thoughts, as we can all apply them to ourselves.  Tell Liz that I say she is a VERY LUCKY woman. Today is my last day before vacation, so although it is Wednesday for you all, it is Friday for me!  The bad news is that we have nothing packed, so we will be doing that all evening.  We are hoping to leave about 5 am tomorrow morning.  (Well.......Todd is hoping to leave by then.   With 2 teen-agers, we will see.......) That is about the gist of it for me. I will miss you all so stay out of trouble and keep each other company!

Thank you for the warm and fuzzy compliment.  I have done some motivational speaking, but the trueth is that I was a song writer for years and I just know how to put mushy words together.  I'm not really as wonderful a person as I pretend to be!  But that said, I really do believe that you and all the other wonderful folks on this board are very very special and truely the strongest of the strong.  You've done what few others have been able to do!  And on top of that, you come here and bring others along to success.  I would never have accomplished anything with my body if it weren't for your blessed support.  I will not let you or anyone else on this board discount those miracles.  I'm just a traveler who gently tries to fan the flames.  But you are the fire that changes the world, my world!  This is bigger than our shrinking waste lines, it's our lives!  When I say I love you all, I don't mean it in a light manner!  Paul
