Sunday Roll Call

Good day to all in Illinois. Dave and I have some lawn care to take care of today. We will tag team with the mower and the blower. That way it will get done faster and we will not be too tired. Hopefully whatever weather is lurking on the western horizon will stay away until we are done.

What is happening on your home front?

Hello everyone

I had a relaxing day yesterday.  I basically did nothing all day .  I'm telling you those migraines really wipe me out and this one lasted longer than usual so I was extra tender.

Today I think I will get off my butt and take a walk.  I am going to go to the Farmers Market today.  Also, there is a parade today so I will watch the parade.  It's nostalgic for me because my Amanda was in the marching band for 4 years.  So I watch remembering the good ole' days.  MY Amanda will be setting the wedding date.  It is tentatively set for June 25th 2011.  She is getting married in the University gardens and she wants the garden to be at full bloom.  So I guess right now the garden is looking great.  Her colors will be mint green and brown.  I'm excited!!!

Well I will be going to enjoy my day...you enjoy your day too. 

Crystal, I know what you mean about a head ache or a migrane that whips you out the next day, been there done that. Though I do not get migranes, I do get a nasty head ache sometimes.

Are the gardens that Amanda is getting married in at the U of I's Extension grounds where they do the experimental gardening etc. I follow the extension office, website and also get daily FB updates from them.

Good Morning All,

Yesterday turned into a lazy day for me too. I did get the wall in  the rec/living room painted and everything back in place, but that was it.

I also walked up to the farmers market, to find no farmers.

Today, I am hoping to get a few things done, but, at the moment. every joint in my bady is saying we are going to control you today. We shall see who wins this battle.

Have a great Fathers Day.

Huggers,
LISA

Sometimes lazy days are just what the doctor ordered. I know what you mean about the body aches as I am sure that tomorrow I will feel it. I picked up all the twigs for Dave before he mowed the middle back (by the 3 season room) yard and the front. Sometimes it is better to get moving and it helps your muscle aches get over the internal brusing faster, at least it does for me.

Today's my birthday!!! The big 60. I still feel like I'm 25 -- except for my knees and hips :> July 20 is the surgery date I got at Alexian. I'm still looking for a loophole, but am 99% at peace with the decision. Sometimes the 1% gets loud. But, I should be able to go to the next meet and greet at Lisa's house about 3.5 wks post op. You guys can hold me up and re-inspire.
Hugs, Mary

Happy birthday!

Mary, what can we do to help you with whatever fears you have or help you over the stumbling block? What is that 1% saying in your head? Tell us so we can relieve whatever it is whispering into your head. We all really want to help.

Come back daily so we can inspire you.

ps, it is Dave's late brother's b-day also and he would have been 60 also.

Mary, stop looking for loopholds and embrace the fact that you have made the best decision that there is. Looking forward to seeing you after the surgery. Monica goes in the 16th for hers.

 Good Afternoon Everyone!

After a busy day yesterday, I have started the day lazy, but I must get my rear in gear soon.  

Yesterday, I was sleeping in and loving it when the phone rang.  It was my hair dresser asking to move my appointment from afternoon to morning, so out of bed I went and off running.  Before I left the house, I called a good friend and arranged to meet her for lunch.  Our lunch ended at 4pm and I headed over to Wally World to do my weekly shopping.  

Last night, I had a group of visitors on my front deck.  I had 5 raccoons!  It was still daylight out and they decided to come and get dinner from my cats food!  I guess, I will have to make sure I only put out enough food to get eaten immediately.  Any other suggestions for getting rid of this group of bandits would be more than welcome.  They are cute but ...... no I am not feeding a group of raccoons!  I have my limits.  

Today, I am messing around on facebook, but I need to get some laundry done and some cleaning as well.  

Mary,  congrats on the surgery date!  

Hope everyone has a great afternoon!
