Sunday Roll Call
Good morning and good day to all in Illini Land. One more day of Itasca Fest, boohoo then it is over. It always is so enjoyable for Dave and I because we know so many people in town and for us it is a big social event. We like the people watching also.
Here in a short while we will head off to church then back home. I need to water the planters in the back. We might go to the pool again today before heading over to the fest grounds. That is about it for us. What is going on in your world?

Good Morning,
It is another great day. Yesterday, our dd and her intended decided to surprise us and came swimming with us, and then went for an early dinner. A nice afternoon was had.
I then was able to mostly finish a rug that I have been working on. I just have to now finish the fringe. I wasn't to pleased with the colors of it, and I think that was why it was taking so long, but once I layed it on the floor, the colors were very nice together. I will fini**** this morning.
Plans for today are to clean the living room/rec room carpet. And then to relax. Do I hear the pool calling?
Have a safe and hydrated day. Get out and enjoy the day, summer won't be around forever.

Hello everyone
I have no plans today. I'm not sure what I'll be doing. I know I will walk over to get the Sunday newspaper and to the Farmer's Market. I actually like having nothing planned.
Watched several episodes of Dexter and I'm hooked. Why can't get hooked on something good for me like: excersise or vegetables...
Well have a great day.
Morning Everyone
Not much on my agenda today. I need to go to Wally world to get some food for the week. Right now I am racking my brain for some ideas for lunch. I like things that I can just take out of the fridge at work and eat. I had salad last week. If it is good, I dont mind eating it every day for a week but then I am ready for a change.
I am trying to get myself psyched up to exercise more. Somehow I just cant talk myself into it. I know it is like most things, you got to just go do it but boy I can think of a million and one reasons not to go just do it!
I sure can talk myself out of a lot. Wish I could talk myself out of bad things so easily. Then I would stay out of trouble. But, then, where's the fun.
Have a great day!

Good morning or should I say Good afternoon,
So what shall I do today. Yesterday we finished tearing out the old shower and all the yucky dry wall. Now, to decide on a new shower and tile. I love the shopping part!
Today, I need to get the laundry caught up and my craft area cleaned up. On Thursday I will be going to my first face to face support group in Skokie. One more step will be completed. On monday the 19th, will be the psychological visit I need to have. I just hope I am sane enough!!!
Not trying to make light of the visit. I know this is to make sure I understand the life change I am embarking on.
I recently joined LA fitness and I should go there today. The factor of intimidation is there. Majority of the people there have the "perfect" body at least in my vision. There is a water arobics class I am interested in joining. I think that would be good for me.
Have a great day!

Good Afternoon Illinois!
Mike and his family left this morning
I hate seeing them go home....I miss them already!
Just finished getting all the containers and crafts and what not put away from the reunion yesterday. The turn out was wonderful. 88 people arrived and we had a great time. I am pooped! It has been 3 days of preparation, clean-up and worry.
Now I can relax....no wait...My mother in law is coming to stay for 10 days and when she goes home it will be time to work on her "surprise" 80th birthday party. The fun never seems to stop.
I'm so glad I have the extra energy that I didn't have two years ago...I love my band!
Hope you all have a great day!

Happy Sunday an oh my goodness it's going to be Monday!!
I have been so busy since Friday!! But I had so much fun being busy.
Spent time with my daughter and grandson all weekend, watched major movies, played with two basset hound puppies, went shopping for dresses for the wedding I did find 2 and put those 2 in layaway, Actually I put 3 in layaway, 2 of the same kind, since I don't know what size I will be. Better safe than sorry!
I went down 2 dresses sizes. The size I bought was snug. So I'm hoping that I lose more weight before I have to take it out of layaway so it fits good. Crossing fingers and toes.
You would think that going down 2 dresses sizes would of made me feel good. But not as much as sitting in a booth at Mcdonalds. I have a grandson who likes Mcdonalds for their toys not their food. Luckily his momma makes him eat. Anyway, I fit in a Booth. There wasn't any tables left and my biggest issue is I couldn't sit in the booth. But I was able too, and I had space between table and booth. I was very Happy!
Funny the little things are the things that bothered me the most. Not fitting in a booth!!
I didn't have to feel embarrassed any more.
Any Readers?
"Pray For Silence" it's a Thriller, and I might add VERY GOOD!!, I new I was going to buy it when I read the inside flap. Amish Family is murdered. No suspects. If you like to read. It's amazing.
After coming home with my new book, I found my walking shoes went to the local park here, and walked over 1.5 miles. I don't actually know if I made it 2 miles, because I stopped looking at the signs because I was one POOPED , SWEATY ,EXHAUSTED, was one LIMPED DOG!!!!!!!!!! Once I could breathe again, My daughter called asked if I wanted to bring her a pizza, her dad was out of town said you want to spend the night. We had a Sandra Bullock movie night, and I had my first piece of pizza. An I can honestly say, I wasn't impressed with it. Went to the store, and got some chips and french onion dip. I did eat some of that, bought me some sugar free ice cream. An watched 3 movies last night.
I was told by the dietician, that the good thing about having a gastric bypass is that you can eat
what you want. But the hardest thing is to eat in Moderation.
I have eaten fish, tomatoes.. <~~~very yummy, watermelon, cantelope, grapes, and I bought some peaches but haven't tried them yet. I bought tuna this week. So we will see how that goes.
Well I'm done for now. I have a book calling me.. S... h....a...r...o...nnnnnn
