Good Morning Illinois Friends,

OMG!!!! I can't believe it, I'm actually up or should I say posting first thing.  I couldn't sleep so I decided to see who else was up on here.  Anyhow, if you haven't seen Theresa's posting about a holiday get together check it out.  I for one would love to meet more fellow Illinoisians, since I wasn't able to go to Paul's cookout.

Well today is like any other day for me....clean house, laundry and look for a job.  I have never had this much trouble finding a job.  Other than that all is is good.  I'm still losing and I couldn't be happier that I had my RNY.  Decided last night to try baked Tilapia again and once again we will have to try that again at another date (I know you know what I mean).  It's funny how one day you can eat something and have absolutely no problem, but eat that same again afew days later and your pouch decides...No I think not!!!!      Wasn't paying attention to the sugar content of a piece of dessert someone wanted me to try, old habits die hard.  I only had probably 5 or 6 small bites, but OMG that was enough to send me reeling.  My heart started racing, had a very hard time focusing, mind fuzzy, stomach cramping and then the crash.  All of a sudden I couldn't keep my eyes open for nothing, I felt terrible, so I went and laid down well I slept for
2-1/2 hours straight.  Woke up feeling like I had been hit by a mack truck, shoot I hadn't felt that rough (after a night of partying) in years.  I mean I've had little mini dumps from sugar but nothing like that.  It scared me and my family, I will just stay completely away from that kind
of stuff.  Supposedly this person had used splenda, but I think she lied.  I've never had a problem with anything made with splenda before.  From now on will only eat what me or my immediate family brings.
 
Ok enough of my chattering!

I do believe our nice weather is slowly withering away.  It's suppose to be a damp/chilly one the next few days.  Everyone have a great day!!

Good Morning Angie and the whole of Illinois.

I am sitting here at the computer looking out of my window, and the sky is red, and getting brighter each second. What is that saying? Red skies at night, sailors delight, red skies at dawn, sailors be warned. I know it is predicted  to be raining later today, and for the next few days, as well as the temp is to drop.

Angie, we all have problems with one food or another. I am like Paul. No corned beef, and almost no beef what so ever. But I can tolerate ground beef. My three favorite meals now are, Salmon, chili, and fish.

This is my last day of work this week. I feel that I have never left the office. It has really been busy, and people have been rude and pushy. I have been working at this job for 17 years, and have never seen so many people that need help. I know its a sign of the times, but please, give us a break.

My weekend is looking busy already. Tomorrow  I will clean and run errands, Sat, I am going to Bloomington to shop with my daughter, and Sunday, do everything that I didn't get done on Friday and Saturday!

have a great day!

Hugs

Hello everyone 

I was so tired yesterday.  I stayed up way too late and only got 3 hours sleep.  I fell asleep last night at 8am  So I got 8 1/2 hours sleep.  I feel well rested today. 

Today I have to do laundry.  Since I live in an apartment I have to go to a laundromat.  I loaded up my car this morning before I went to work.  I will go straight from work to get this done.  I hate doing laundry.  I would love it if I had a washer and dryer. 

I would love to get together and meet everyone. 

I better get going.  Everyone have a nice day.

Morning Angie and Illinois Friends

Well I made it through work yesterday thanks to caffeine.  But by the end of the day I was about asleep at the computer.  It was a loooong day.  So did I go to bed any earlier last night?  Noooo.    You would think I would learn.  This web site is too darn addicting!

Happy Friday eve to everyone!  It is almost the weekend.    Sleep will be #1 on my agenda, then I must tackle some things around the house. 

My mission today is to stay awake through another day of work.  I may be hitting the caffeine again.    I do not drink caffeine so  this is definitely an unusual desperate move to stay awake. 

Have a great day!

Good Morning my IL family
Today I am doing laundry, repotting a plant, going to Borders and also stopping at Linens and Things.  They are going out of business and I want to see if I can find any good deals on anything.  we shall see.
Tonight are Tyler's school conferences, they are an open forum type so it will be interesting.  Today his school is also holing it's primary elections for Student Council Presidents (one for each grade).  There are 4 other kids besides Tyler running.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that he makes it through today's vote. 
Other than that, I want to enjoy this last day of nice weather...they said some snow showers for Friday into Saturday!  I hate winter and cold..lol

Have a great day everyone

Monica

Hey everyone! Looks like the 23rd will work for everyone for a get together. Lets plan aound noon and of course spouses and children are welcome. We have a very large mall within walking distance of the bowling center so if you want to make a full day or weekend of it, it's a great place to Christmas shop! The address is:

Cherry Bowl
7171 Cherryvale Blvd
Rockford, IL  

I love planning parties! As far as the day goes, typical work, kids bowling practice, babysit, take care of mom and get ready for a day in Chicago Friday. Hubby and I are going to IKEA in the afternoon and the on to see the BULLS play at night. He's a big fan and he let's me shop on the way so I don't mind going.

Good morning Angie and the rest of my IL family,
Angie  I am sorry to hear about you sugar dumping. That is awful of the girl to tell you it was made with spenda if it was not, Some  people just don't understand, I too have a (friend) that I don't trust, she would just love to see me get sick so I am very careful when it comes to her,
Yesterday I have my consult with the Plastic Surgeon and it went good, He and his staff are very nice, we talked about all the problems  I wanted taken care of,, took some pictures for the Ins, comp, Now the waits begins,  He did said it could take 6 to 8 weeks to hear back from them,
Today I am off to Janesville to court for my MIL's house , pay on my layaway and go to Joann's and get for stuff to make a baby blanket for a baby shower Sat, and the run by Woodmans,, and all in this nasty wet weather,
Yes it is raining here and windy,
I hope everyone has a good day and stay warm,

      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!
