Wednesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

At work yesterday there was a network outage effecting 1/3 of everyone in the company.  I wasn't effected but as it turned out some of the people that were effected (including my boss) ended up congregating at my desk and we were joking around.  Then my boss and I played a joke on a project manager and we hid his coffee and laptop.  He just left everything sitting across from my desk.  And my boss asked who's stuff is this...and I told her.  And I said wouldn't be funny if we took it...and she was already thinking it.  We hid his coffee in his mailbox and his laptop under my desk.  Hahaha...it was so funny.  He was blaming everyone but me.  Apparently, I look very innocent...because he never suspected me.  So I was just sitting there working while he was looking for his stuff.  I IMed, my boss to let her know what was going on.  Oh...ya we had fun!!! 

Today will be work of course and then after work I am going out to eat with an old friend.  I haven't seen him in forever because he moved to Las Vegas.  We used to work together a long time ago.  Oh we had so much fun back then...he was around when I got divorced and he really kept things cheerful and funny for me.  He sat by me (on the other side of my wall) at work and sometimes we would play "cubicle volleyball"...basically we had a ball we hit back and forth.  But we kept a running score.  It was like 2803 to 3149....hahaha he was better than me.   He is in town for a few days.  So it will be nice to see him again.

What are you guys doing today???

So it's time for me to go...see you all later...bye

 

Good Morning,

Major question! What do you drink on days when you can't have coffee, tea, juice, milk  or cream? Can I use Crystal Light???

Today is the last day of my protein shakes. They haven't been to bad since I started freezing at least one per day for "ice cream". Between shakes, broth and jello, with popcycles thrown in for snacks, it hasn't been to bad.

Yesterday, nothing was happening, so I stayed in all day. I did make some beef and noodles for the hubby. Then, I had a bit of the broth. Today, is bed changing, and a few other things i want and need to get done. Then we have to go to Menards, again.

This is for Sharon, just read this. Homemade shampoo. Baking soda mixed with water. then rinse with vinigar.

Hugs,

LISA

Lisa,

I think Crystal light would be fine.  You should not have a problem drinking this. 

Hi Lisa,

I lived on Vitamin Water Lemonade Sugar free for the fist 2 months after surgery when i couldn't drink caffeine. It saved me. I used to buy it on sale whenever i saw it. I also dran****d Passion Tazo Tea without syrup at Starbucks. At home i sipped peppermint tea when I wanted something hot. I also made a large vat of beef stock before the surgery. I froze it into individual containers and sipped that when i wanted something warm.

I think I must have read the same article on home-made shampoo the other day. I am going to try it. So far have not gone down that road. I do use vinegar for  everything tho.

Hugs,

Sharon

Good Morning Everyone!

Crystal, I miss those fun days at work.  I wish we had that here.  Have a ball with your friend tonight.  If he has not seen you for awhile, then he will be in for the shock of a lifetime when he sees how much weight you have lost and what a beautiful person that you are!    It would be fun to see the expression on his face.  He will not recognize you!

Today is the same old thing.  Work and home.  And Rain.  We are under a flood watch.  I am so glad that I am up from the river.  I never have to worry about flooding.  However, my home sits above a former mine so I imagine there is water running below it.  I just dont think about that.    I have mine insurance in case my house ever sinks into the ground.  I once asked my insurance man just what all it covers because they always tell you you have your land if you lose your house but if your house is in the ground, you no longer have the land either.  He just gave me a blank look.    I have since found out that it covers the property as well. 

Randy, your surgery is coming up fast as well.  I cannot imagine surgery on my adominal walls.  The pain is going to be unbelievable.  I can only think it would be like the back surgery.  Be sure to get some good narcotics for the recovery period.  I would want my DRUGS!  My back surgeon did not believe in narcotic pain relief so I finally went to my regular doctor and got some after my back surgery.  I could have kissed him! 

Everyone have a great day!

 

PostgreSQL Meetup tonight.  U of Toronto coding class and maybe some bill paying between now and then.

Hi folks!

We went out to breakfast this morning. It was fun to catch up with friends. Knitting later today. I'm almost finished with a very complicated shawl. I'll post a pic after I fini**** Hope to be home before the hail which is forecast. If we get four inches of rain in the net few days it will be flooding everywhere.  I'm glad my house is up high. For the water to get to my house all of west Rockford would be under water out to WInnebago. Not going to happen.

Not much else going on here.

Hi My Cheeky Monkeys,

It is day 3 of this cleanse and I am beginning to feel normal again. The shock on my body from not having caffeine surprised me. I had no idea i was so addicted. I can take the headaches. It is the fatigue that is difficult. But i have lost 6.2 lbs so I am not going to stop.

I had to go to the grocery store early this morning and was surprised at how cold it was. Yuck.

Crystal it will be fun to see an old friend. He will be shocked at your size. I love when that happens.

Have a great day everybody!

Hugs,

Sharon

Sharon and nancy. Actually he's seen my pictures on Facebook so it won't be that big of a surprise. And I actually find that I get very uncomfortable when people make a big deal about my weight loss. It embarrasses me when they go on about it. I know they are just being nice and I need to learn to accept a compliment but still doesn't change the fact I get red in the face!!! Hahaha!!!
