It is going to be a beautiful Spring Day, Enjoy it! We wait all winter for spring, and it doesn't stay around that long.
The tree guys are taking down trees for us this morning. Com ed will be here early to drop their lines, then replace them after. I am sure it will be an interesting morning.
I am meeting a friend for lunch and trying to do some housework in between.
Have a great day,
Hugs,
Lisa 
The only thing I have going in the next couple of days, is the yearly stuff that needs to be done. I always plan it for the week after my birthday, then next week, I see my GP. heart Dr. in May.
I too am looking forward to this weekend. It is suppose to be warmer, so maybe we can do some major outside work. I think Morgan is coming up to help.
I am heading for work,

Hello everyone
I started back to the gym yesterday. I did pretty good. I did take it easy.
I am not going to step on the scale till Friday or Saturday because I always eat too much when I am sick. Some people lose their appetites when they get sick but I seem to get voraciously hungry. So I am sure I gained a couple pounds.
We are having Greg's dad over for burgers on the grill tomorrow. He is town for a couple of days.
This weekend is supposed to be really nice outside. I can't wait. I don't have any special plans but I am sure I can figure something out.
Well back to work...Bye
A grill your own steak place. That is interesting. What is the name of this place?
Good Morning.
Just working and trying to spring clean my house and yard. The spring cleaning is getting nowhere, but I am hopeful.
We celebrated my birthday with doing a partial barn quilt run, then going to Davenport to the boat, coming back to Princton and going to a grill your own steak place. One word, Yummy. A nice family day.
7 weeks until cruise time.
Dawn, have a great trip to pick up Liv.
Heading for work.
Hugs,
Lisa
That is SO exciting for them! Congrats to them both! What a relief, not having to work while completing her Masters!
Tell someone that you love them!

Hello everyone
Well I haven't done much of anything for 4 days because I got sick. Yep. Just a cold but it's taking it's time to go away. Of course Greg took good care of me. He does this thing when I get a headache...he massages my head. It feels really good and usually helps the headache die down.
Dawn- gaining weight is one of my fears. I am forever trying to lose. I never did hit my goal weight. I was going to the gym and then I got sick. So now back to the gym. Luckily or unlucky I seem to be gaining and losing the same 5-7lbs. So at least I'm not getting bigger...just staying the same. It just gets really frustrating!!!
Have fun on your trip down to see Liv. Hope everything goes smoothly.
Some news from Amanda and Charles. Charles landed a really nice job, making pretty good money. He will be working with incarcerated youth. Helping them get ready for the job force. He is really excited. Amanda was accepted into the masters program she wanted. She will be starting full time in the fall and quit her job (since Charles has a good job). She says it gives her time to do internships/volunteering so she can do some networking and build up some professional contacts in Washington. That's how most people get jobs in her field.
Well back to work...have a good day all.
Good Monday Morning!
I am sitting here with the sun shining brightly through my window and loving it.
This is the, "Week of the Young Child" and we are celebrating here at work. Lots of fun things planned all week long. Unfortunately, right now, being Monday, we have more kids than usual having a hard time being dropped off. The change in routine after being home over the weekend always makes mornings a little rougher for the little ones.
I have officially gained back to my surgery weight. I will be calling the surgeon this morning to get an appointment. I've started back to riding the stationary bike every morning and tracking my food. Funny thing is, I have been doing this for about 10 days and I actually GAINED a couple pounds. That's ok. I will keep at it. I'm sure my weight is 80% of my pain issues.
Crystal---sorry to hear about the contacts. I hope you find a solution, because once over the initial hump, they are fantastic (at least for me).
I am looking forward to my trip down to get Liv from school. I will be leaving May 7 and we will be driving back Monday or Tuesday the 9 or 10. I got a $53.00 flight on Spirit, so we will see how that goes. I'm always up for an adventure!
That's about it for me. What's happening in your corner of Illinois?
Tell someone that you love them!

I had a partial replacement with Dr Puri and had to have a full replacement 2years later. He is a terrible Doctor and did me a great disservice performing a partial when I needed a full replacement. Shame on Dr Puri!!!
Hello everyone
I had a bad experience with my contacts this weekend. I tried a new brand and they were really bothering me but because we were out I left them in until we got home. My eye looked a bit blood shot and irritated. When I woke up in the morning my eyes were completely red and crusty. I thought I had pink eye!!! I went to the eye doctor and it turns out I had a bad reaction to the new contacts. So no contacts for 4-6 weeks. My eyes still look irritated. You can actually see where the contacts were on my eye ball. There is a circle around my iris!!! Can you believe that!!! Only me...I am so sensitive and allergic to everything!!!
On the good side I tried yoga for the first time and I loved it. It was much harder than I expected. By the end of the hour my leg and arm muscles were screaming. There's also a lot of stretching which felt good. And you know how I have had issues with my hip hurting at night. Last night for the first time since last August I slept the whole night with no hip pain. I slept so good I didn't want to get up this morning!!!
I think yoga is good for my hips!!!
Well...time to get back to work...have a good day all
