Wednesday Roll Call

Good morning Nancy and the rest of my IL family, for me today taking the dogs to the vet for their last kennel cough  shot, going to get some dog food and that is about it. Yesterday I did get some weeding done before it got warm out but today I am not moving too fast. lol.
Hope everyone has a good day,

Hi everybody!  Today I decided to play hooky from work so I'm moving a little slower!  I need to do a major rebuild of our pool filter and I won't get a chance any other time before we go on vacation.  Not much going on other than that.  Good to have you back Dee.  I've been there with the back problems and I know they're no fun.  I hope you are out of all that soon.  Paul

Good morning Nancy and the rest of Illinois!

I am working today and glad to report that I got up at 3:45 for a date with my exercise bike.  I have been slacking a bit since my trip to New Orleans when I broke my toe on the train.  It was kind of uncomfortable to exercise, and I was also kind of experimenting to see what a break would do to my famous stall.  I started back with the bike last week, so let's see if THAT fools my body........

I am looking forward to Saturday and seeing those of you that can make it out my way.  It really is a fun-packed day, from 6:30 am to 2 am on Sunday.  Something for everyone, that's for sure. 

Even if I am busy with something downtown, you are all free to gather at my house......David calls it "home base" for the festival.

Not too much else exciting going on here.......

Everyone have a lovely day and stay comfortable!

Good morning Nancy, Lisa and all you other early risers!!! LOL...This is early for me now...since I am retired I find myself wanting to sleep longer in the mornings, no need to rush off to work.  I'm usually up by 7 or so but need  2 cups of coffee before I'm awake.  I used to always be up at 5 and raring to go.  I think I'll set the alarm and try to imitate Dawn by scheduling exercise in...maybe that wll get my notor going.  

Welcome back Dee!!!!  glad your back is better...I can surley understand. I have an unstable fracture at L5- S1 and 2 bad disks, that I need to have surgery on but not until I can lose some weight. 

Paul sounds like you won;t have too much fun today playing hooky since you are doing pool maintenance and repair.  unless you can get a swim in afterwards.

Jill and Janet  enjoy the day!  Me I have some last minute stuff to do taday to get ready for my company. so a quick look at the boards and then I'm off....Hugs Paulette

Good morning Nancy, you early bird you, and the rest of my Illinois family,

I've been up since 6:30 but have not had time to get on the computer. They are sealcoating the parking lot today and I've been running around trying to get the residents to move their cars. No one seems to pay attention to the notices that are posted.

Today I'm going to the gym...laundry...and going crazy...sounds like a typical day for me.

Karey's husband had lapband surgery yesterday and is doing well. Welcome to the "Band"wagon Mike! Hope you have a quick recovery.

Welcome back Dee...hope your back gets better quickly...chasing 3 toddlers will really help with the weight loss. Having 2 of my grandkids (3 1/2 and 2) are a handful. When they are all together (another 3 and a 1) I go crazy...but they are soo much fun. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I hope everyone has the most awesome day ever!

Good morning Illinois!
I am off today to get my daughters yard mowed while she and her hubby are at work! Hes a little to large to be out in this heat and she has to work today until dark. The city of Peoria does not like tall grass, so I will help them out! Its not a real large yard so it should only take 1 hr.
Then going to have a weenie roast with the 2 grandsons.

I got most of the important gardens weeded the pool almost ungreen so when I get home I will finish the pool! We need it since its hot!
Well have a great day and stay cool!

Hello Everyone!

I am SO not going to complain about the heat after the winter we just had.  BUT...I ventured out at like 7ish last night, the sun was starting to go down, to take the dogs for a stroll around the municipal bldg. grounds in Schaumburg, and MAN!!!!!  It' was still above 80° and the humidity was ridiculous.  But we did it and so did a bunch of other people in the neighborhood. 

Today looks to be the same so we'll just do the after work short walk.

I just lost my lunch...ate too fast...cubed chicken breast.  I told my co-worker who had gastric bypass years ago, over e-mail, and he said "Way to go".  lol.  I needed a laugh.  Things have been kind of tense in the office.  Which is why...well you know.

Getting a haircut tomorrow, I so badly need a trim but also want to grow it out more.  Maybe do a couple highlights to break up the color, right now it's a solid medium brown.   Trying to cut corners with stuff like salon appts...

Well my lunchtime is over here @ work, so gotta go!

Have a great day everybody!

I can't believe it after all the insurance company made me go thru with having my gallbladder out before the bypass, and now having 2 separate surgeries, but in the end all that matters to me is IM APPROVED!!!

Just waiting now for the scheduler at the Kane center to call me back with a date and off we go!!

Today is a VERY GOOD day!!!

Tomorrow will start the nervousness, but for Today.........hip hip hooraaayyy!!
Eileen

Hey Eileen, Congrats an the approval!

Good news Eileen!  If you don't hear from the scheduler in the next day or so, don't be afraid to call back and ask.  They get really busy sometimes  Seriously.

Best wishes,

Mary
