Thursday Roll Call
Good Morning IL -
Time to Rise & Shine! I'm already at work, have been since 4a. It's going to be another long day with us being so short staffed. I bet you can guess what I'm going to be doing today.. Work, Work and more Work.
I'm with Dee, this year is going to be home made gifts for the holidays. I think they are more personal anyway and come from the heart. I'm thinking for my parents and Calvin’s.. some sort of picture frame with our immediate family photos.
I was forced to do a scrap booking page for a friend and it actually turned out really nice. I wish I had more time for things like that but life is way too busy for me right now. I don't have the down time needed to fool around with scrapbooking. Maybe when I retire or in another life. LOL
Time for a moment of gratitude... What are you grateful for today? I'm grateful for a loving, understanding husband, two beautiful daughters and two adorable grandbabies that melt my heart. I have to add in my three, four legged fur babies that always love me unconditionally.
Have a great day everyone!

Yeah, Yeah I am up 
. Little chilly willy this morning. I kept pulling the blankies back up. It has been nice to sleep with the window open except we get so much highway noise for the I-290 behind us. 
The dust from the roadway is worse so the window will not be open too much longer.
Need to get moving soon as I have a conference to go to at Naperville PD. One of the other records girl and I will be there. We both have decided to leave slightly early to beat the traffic as we both live in Itasca and there really isn't an easy way to get to and from due to roads and construction.

Hey there! I have missed chatting with you. This is just a quick drive by, have a doc appointment this morning, and it is over an hour drive away. I am hoping I can get DH to drive by the craft store so I can get started on a few things while I am down and out. Things are so bad here, once I recover, I need to find a job.
I am so grateful for Bill, my mom, my nieces and nephews, and all 6 of my fabulous dogs!
Blessings,
Dee

Good Morning Christina
It is a brisk morning today! It would have been a nice day to stay in
and snuggle with my kitties however since it is a weekday, that means going to work. Saturday will be here in another 48 hours and I can do that then!
Today I am grateful for my family, having a job, and being able to meet my current needs. The economy is so scary! You just wonder how much worse it will get before it starts to improve.
I get to help stimulate the economy today or tomorrow. I cam home last night, put food waste in my garbage disposal only to discover, it will not work. It is old enough, that it is time for a new disposal. Even water is not going down on that side of the sink.
It is around 15 years old so I guess I can pronounce it dead. Lisa, that will mean I probably will get time off work as I wait for a plumber to come. That will cost me even more money as it will be without pay. Ouch! But with cat food still stuck down there (could not get it all out) I hope they can come today.
So, I hope we haven't gone from car gremlins to household appliance gremlins. Watch out for those gremlins. This is your friendly gremlin alert.
Have a good day.

Good Morning Christina and my IL family,
I hate mornings when Tyler is SLOW moving...I am always having to keep on top of him to get him out of here on time! It's one of those days. Well he's gone now, but it was!
Today I have a 1pm meeting with the unemployment people, they want to see my paperwork that I am really going to school! Then hopefully they will clear my checks to be released and some money will be coming in. Other than that, more of the same today around here.
I am grateful for my health, my kids, my furbabies and that I got gas for $3.09 yesterday....
.

Hello everyone 
I'm at work. I'm still waiting to make my appointments for my stress test and pulse-ox machine. For the first time I have to wait for them to call me. I can't call for an appointment. I would like to get it done tomorrow before I go to Champaign. We shall see. I have nothing to but work to do today.
I am thankful for my wonderful daughter, who has never caused me one moment of trouble. I am thankful for my job, even though I relentlessly complain about it. I am thankful for my health, though it could be better(I'm working on that) I'm thankful for all of my wonderful friends that support me through anything (divorce, WLS, life). I'm thankful for all of my OH friends.
Christina what a good idea. Now I'm in a good mood.

Good Morning Christina and the rest of my IL family, Not much going on here today other then taking some curtains back to Shopko I got the wrong size the other day, I sure hope they have the longer one in the same color. Well the living room is done and looks great, now we are working on the Dinning room and I sure am liking the colors, when we get that room done I will take some pic of it,

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.
Hmmm, what am I grateful for............my wonderful husband of 43 years, even if I do get narly at him sometimes. My girls and thier families, we are all very close. My job, and the support I have had from my co workers and bosses. The right to pick and choose what I want to do, how I want to spend my time off, spend my money. I am grateful that I am alive and healthy.
I am heading for work in a few, then to pick up my DGD. She wanted to come to visit.
This weekend we will be celebrating my youngest daughters 40th birthday with a bbq/ halloween get together. Also working on the apartment kitchen.
Hubby just asked me to stop at the apartment on my way to work, so I need to get going.
Hugs

Good morning Christina and Illinois!
It's a chilly one out there today. I hope all of you on your way to work and getting the kids off to school keep warm.
I had my 6 month nutrition class and doctor visit yesterday. Also got another fill...this one feels different. I hope it helps as I'm tired of being on this plateau. Two months of fighting the same four pounds is enough! I'm still following the rules and exercising. I was glad to meet Theresa at the meeting yesterday.
The things I'm grateful for: husband, children and their spouses, my grandchildren. My husbands job so that we have a home, bills are paid,and food to eat, clothes to wear, my doctor, my 65 pound weight loss, and just as important to me is my friends here on OH. I wish you all a blessed day!
