Monday Roll Call
Good morning Carla. Sorry to hear about your major stomach issues. Prayers coming your way 
.
Dee, I pray that your infection is clearing up and that you feel better soon.
Carol, I'm with you on this weather. Yuk, I want to be a dormant bear until April.
Christmas is not a word for me right now.... Got to get through Halloween and Thanksgiving. Too soon!
My best friend lost her father on Saturday. The same day that is her husband's birthday. She lost her mom 6 months ago. Tomorrow's the wake. My heart goes out to her. I'll be there for her tomorrow and she if she needs any help with her father's house.
Today's a busy day at work. I need to start packing for my trip to LA on Friday. YAY... Something good on the horizon.
No more slimming or
episodes for me. Finally! I know that wasn't good for my esophagus either. I haven't had heartburn since WLS and then it happened with the band. No more of that either!
We gotta live our lives to the fullest as we don't know how much time we have. I regret all the time I wasted in my youth and early adulthood. That's why I'm playing catch-up!
Wishing all my friends here a wonderful Monday.
Anyone up to coordinate a get together before Thanksgiving? I sure would love to have another meet and greet before winter sets in!
Hugs,
Lucy

Good morning everyone!
Kay and I just returned from Seattle where I attended the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association annual conference and Kay "did Seattle" including a "coffee crawl". She knows a lot about coffee now. the convention was great an it was fun to see the friends I have made over the years and catch up with the new advances in health care.
It was a shock to come home to the wind! Good grief! It was cool in Seattle, but sunny the whole time and no wind. We went on a harbor cruise Saturday night whi*****luded a dinner dance--quite a change from the weather we found at O'Hare! Oh well, it is that time of year. Drag out the coats!
Have a great day!

Good Morning IL family,
It's cold here today and I just hate this. At least the sun is out, they said it was supposed to be cloudy all day.
I had a busy weekend, but mostly yesterday. I started to get my stairway and hall ready to paint. I filled all the holes and sanded and then got 3 walls done with Kilz2, to cover all the old spots and the paint sample colors that were on there. I have decided that I am also going to be redoing my bathroom downstairs too. lol the only person who helped me at all yesterday was Jacob. Mike didn't even offer and I didn't ask. Things are not good around here, but it's too depressing to talk about now.
Today nothing is planned other than taking Tyler to the Ortho because 2 of his wires popped out of his braces and that's it!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and stays warm!

Christina, thank you for that offer. I might just take you up on it. Football is over and wrestling practice starts tomorrow, but I don't know how long Tyler will be there. I will find out and see if there's an evening we can meet up. I really need to get out! PM your phone number please...thanks!

Good Morning! I hope everyone has pulled out the thermal long underwear to wear today, as it is a cold one. Well, I am off of work till Thursday part of the 10 day unpaid furlough the company has asked all US employees to take. I am an hourly employee and I can not afford to take all the days off at the holidays, so I have spread them out over the next several months and exchanged some of those days with vacation time I had left on the books.
I am currently sitting in a hotel room in Greenfield Indiana (east of Indianapolis) drinking a protein shake and decaf coffee. My mother is flying into Indy this morning for my sisters 39thbirthday. i have not seen either of them for almost 5 years. My stepdad is also coming and I have not seen him in about 15 years. Most times he is not able to come with mom when she visits, so I am spending some time with them. I guess I will break the news of the surgery to them. They do not know, my sister thinks that I have just dieted and exercised to loose 95 lbs in the last 10 months. I have not seen either one of them for over 4 years. I hope to have pictures to post soon.

Good morning Carla and the rest of Illinois!
I would give my eye teeth to be on St. Pete Beach right now..............please enjoy the great weather and I hope you feel better soon.
Today is my 2 year surgiversary! My, how time flies. Although I never reached goal and am still very confused by my nutritionist, I would not go back to where I was 2-3 years ago. If I could just figure out how to lose these last 25-30 pounds, I would be perfectly happy. I AM happy, don't get me wrong, but I just can't understand how I can eat so much less, so much healthier, exercise so much more, and nothing changes. The "starvation mode" excuse does not cut it. There is no way my body has been in starvation mode for 14 months.
Besides that, I am back at work this morning waiting for my aunt to call to tell me when I need to take her to turn in her paperwork for the new apartment. This will be a very good thing for her.
When at the eye doctor the other day, I found out that my eyes are getting older. I could actually use bi-focals. For me, this is a hard thing as I have always had perfect eyesight. I really need help when reading, but could also use a little bit of help with distance. I need to decide whether to get glasses just for reading, or for all the time. I suppose I will have to go and try on a bunch and see what I can live with. I guess it happens to everyone when they get older and I am grateful that I have managed this long (I will be 47 next month.....).
I go two kinds of hot sauce and a bunch of pesto made over the weekend. Now, I just have to figure out how to grate the horseradish so that I can make some of that.
I hope everyone has a lovely day and can stay warm.

I'm so not ready for this cold weather. I need to get my butt in gear and get plastic on the windows.
good morning Carla and everyone in Illinois land.
I am at work, thank goodness we are slow today. Nothing much going on in my world this week. How is everyone else. It looks like everyone has an agenda for today.
Yesterday I finished some projects that needed to be done. nothing exciting.
This morning, I went to the local hospital to have blood drawn. It is dark and cold at 6 am.Atleast it is bright and sunny now, even it is cold and still windy.
have work to do,
Hugs to everyone.
