Hi & good morning everyone,
Hump Day indeed.
How's everyone doing?
Slow start for me this morning. Still feel somewhat sleepy. I'll be getting some bottled Starbucks 9.5 oz. coffee soon to get my day jumpstarted and my batteries charged for the day.
Today I might go up to the Dollar Tree store to get a few things. Also I'm giving myself a day off to do some reading, and I'm waiting for a package today from FedEx with a cell phone accessory that I ordered from my cell phone company that I ordered at the end of last week.
Tonight is game night for me, which I'll be following my team on the internet because I don't have CSN-CH. Let's go Blackhawks!!!
Have a great day everyone.
P.S. Today makes 11 months ago that I had my Decompression Surgery (Chiari Malformation Type 1). I can't believe it's been 1 year already. Where di the time go?

Hello everyone
I had chicken last night too. But tonight is a beef night. I am making a homemade hamburger helper...with a side salad. And tomorrow I will be having a rotisserie chicken because I will be busy making goodies for work. We are having a Valentines party. Work is becoming a little more fun now that the bah hum bugs are gone.
I am actually looking forward to Valentines Day. Maybe that is why my week seems to be going by so slowly.
I was thinking about having us joining Planet Fitness...but I wanted to wait till after the New Years rush was over.
Well I better get going all. Have a good day.
Good Morning,
Sharon, your dinner last night sounds great. Hubert is like G, a good steak dinner, maybe with a lobster thrown in, and he is in heaven.
I am probably one of the few that still makes a big Sunday dinner. That is one thing my mother did, and I do it to. Plus, some type of dessert. We have also gotten into the habit of having a hot drink after dinner each night. Hubert wants hot chocolate,and I like a good cup of tea.
Crystal, Hubert pays the bills, I pay for our evenings out and gas for both cars. Also, I try to have the money to go on our trips. Right now I am saving for our next cruise. I also pay for my own medical insurance, So, it is devided. He never saids anything about what I spend on me.
Dawn, the weight will come off. I am still 57/60 #s from goal too.
We had a nice evening in Bloomington last night. Another concert for Morgan. She is turning into a very confident young adult.
Have a great day,
Hugs,
Hi Chickas and Jason!
Hump Day. We can all see the finish line.......
I am going to the pool early and cleaning the church today. Not much more is planned except buying one of those 400 million $ jackpot lottery tickets. If I win, we all go to Australia!
Yesterday I did much better on the "life change". For dinner, decided on chicken instead of steak and it was yummy. G enjoyed his steak and loved his gifts. I got him some chocolate covered strawberries, cigars and this tequila he has been talking about for months. He is so easy to please.
I am working tomorrow and of course like every Thursday the temp is supposed to drop. The upside i dont have to get up earlier to do my hair since it will be under a hat all day. Stay warm and safe.
Enjoy this day the Lord has made.
Hugs,
Sharon
Sharon, we will not run in to any sharks! Neither one of us do water activities much. Me--maybe a hot tub, no sharks there! We found a button store and a yarn store in Sydney!

Hello everyone
I am having a long dragging day....it's one of those days that won't end. At least it's almost over.
I brought up the spending thing yesterday because although I am not a big spender. I mean after I finish paying off a loan in April I am debt free. Greg is saver and although I share a lot of his beliefs in money I also believe with some things you get what you pay for and I would rather spend money on something good quality and have it last awhile, rather pay rock- bottom prices on junk. Like furniture...I have good furniture. Or gym shoes (I always get a good shoe so I won't have trouble with my joints). So I think that might be where we will butt heads a little. But he doesn't seem to mind spending on vacations or evenings out...because he says he wants to get out and live. Which is funny because that is where I always scrimped and saved...hahaha!!! We will definitely have to compromise. Well a good sign is he doesn't seem to think me going to get my hair done every other month is a big deal. When we were doing a preliminary budget for when we have our house I added that in and he didn't say anything. I mean he was married before so I guess he does know women have "expenses"...LOL!!!!
Today I am making cilantro lime chicken....with pasta on the side (I don't like rice). I have to go to Walgreens again. My doctor didn't approve my RX because I had to make an appointment with him. I hate when they do that. Can they warn you??? Instead they hold your medicine hostage!!! So I have to go again today to get it.
My daughter has about $15K of debt and that was with scholarships and working part time. But I could only help her so much she had to finance most of it herself. I did the little things like keep her on my cell phone package till she graduated and carried her insurance for her.
Anyway....back to the grind. Have a good day all.
Hi My Dear Ones,
I am better today, yesterday I did laundry like I planned, but about 10a the sugar withdrawals started derailing me. I just kept drinking water and stayed on target. With lots of prayer, I stayed on track and went to bed early. I even missed my meeting, but felt so much better this am. We will see what the day brings. I am also fasting eggs, gluten, corn, soy, dairy, and sugar/sweeteners and peanuts.
Today is food shopping day. I am also taking my daughter and grandbabies to Kohls to return some things and exchange. It is G's birthday so I am planning on getting home early so I can make his steak dinner that he requested. I love easy peasy and I will also be able to have that.
Wow, Dawn. You are doing so well with the bike. I started my journey with exercise first and I think it is a great way to start our bodies and minds on the new lifestyle we need to be healthy. I will start praying for your journey to fitness and good health. Yes, Michael left Columbia with minimal debt. He has been out of school for 18 months and has no debt. His tuition was 68K per year and he funded most of it with grants and scholarships. He was as excited about the $500.00 grants as the $5000.00 ones. He said he treated it like a part-time job he did from his desk at home. He kept an excel spread sheet and said every year got easier because he just reapplied for the ones he previously got. I know he got some from weird places like Subway and Walmart. They are everywhere and so many go untouched.
Connie looks like she is having an amazing time in Australia.
Where is Carla?????
Hugs to my friends today as we go through this day. Hey March is only 18 days away and 26 days to Daylight savings time!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs
Sharon
