Saturday Roll Call
Good Morning,
Well, today is August 1. Where did June and July go? Not sure where you are, but here in Streator the high school starts on the 11th of August, the grade schools go back on the 17th, I think.Whatever happened to school starting the day after Labor day?
Welcome to all the new members we have gotten in the last few weeks. And a big welcome back to all that hadn't posted in a while. We welcome all with arms wide opened.
My agenda for today is boring. I have to go to the store and post office. Maybe get to the farmers market. I also would like to get outside and do a few things .
What are you doing? Whatever it is, take some time for yourself. Summer will be over before we know it.
Stay safe.
Hugs,
LISA

Good morning Lisa and the rest of Illinois!
I just spent the last 2 hours trying to get my home computer updated and optimized. How boring.
I am thinking about cleaning and redecorating my bedroom. Not sure if I actually WILL do it, but it needs to be done. Might be a nice surprise for Todd when he gets home.
The roofers finally started yesterday and a small part of the roof has been replaced. I think this will be a long job.
Liv and I saw the new "Harry Potter" movie last night and she wound up coming in to sleep with me in the middle of the night. She is fine this morning. I understand the mixed reviews for the movie. Tomorrow, we have seats for "The King & I" at the playhouse.
It is pretty cold and dreary here. Probably a factor in not feeling motivated.
Have a lovely day all!

Hi Lisa and Dawn,
I have been reading posts from the last week or so, trying to catch up. I've been so busy with starting work again, going to physical therapy, etc, I haven't had time to even look at my computer!
My exciting thing for this week is that I finally got to have my appointment with my surgeon. Yay! Now my documentation goes to insurance. I'm calling the insurance contact at the surgeons office late next week to check on things. I don't want my stuff just sitting around!
I'm starting to realize just how different things will be post-op. I've been paying more attention to my food choices and how much I eat. Not necessarily eating less, but noticing what I'm doing. I have been adding a lot more vegies to our dinner, like salad and green beans rather than salad and rice, for example. My daughter is a carb-a-holic at the age of 6 so it sure won't hurt her to have fewer simple carbs replaced with complex carbs from vegies. She and my husband are in for some shocks as well, since I do the cooking and meal planning.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend. I get to spend the late afternoon and evening kid and husband free, indulging in my scrapbooking hobby at a local store with my sister and mom. Can't wait!

Good Afternoon Lisa and Illinois
I was up and out of the house early this morning as I had to teach a Bad Check class today. I am back home again and trying to stay awake. I think I am going to be asleep at the computer soon so a nap may be in order.
Class was great. I still have to do laundry and grocery shopping this weekend.
Yesterday was a really good workout at physical therapy. They pushed me pretty hard. They had one machine I really liked so I am going to see if it is in the YMCA. It was easy for me to use but it was still a good workout.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Its Nancy... Im so honored that you wished me happy birthday.. Thank you for the good wishes....
I cant wait.. I actually leave Chicago at midnight.. My original plan was to sleep today but, do you think I could sleep???? NOT AT ALL!!. I hope I pass out on the plane. I can't wait to get there. The BIKE part Im still not to sure about.. But, a year ago I couldnt have even entertained the idea. But, I going ready or not. The friend who organized this trip says its an easy route and he (all 10 pounds of him) rides it all the time. If I survive it I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
Thanks again Nancy..

Hi guys.....just relaxing today. I'm trying to do something productive everyday. The weight is at a total stand still:( I am very frustrated! Even exercising and weight lifting, I'm still not losing! I have Maddie all ready for school. We are just going to do something fun to decorate her paint shirt. Something different to do. So how has everyone been enjoying there summer? I'm going to try and post more often. I've been a lurker lately. I'm still sitting on the fence if I should go back to work or not. Well....I hope everyone enjoys the nice weekend and be safe!
