Monday!!!

Good morning Hoosiers. I hope everyone has a great day. I hope its not as humid as everyones been telling me its gonna be. Im still having the hot flashes. Im so looking forward to being cold all the time....or at least thats what ppl keep telling me. I too havent heard from Dan. I hope hes ok. I emailed him yesterday and didnt get a responce. I hope hes just out having fun. I have a busy day planned today. Im getting my hair cut and colored (not sure what color yet with me u never know) at 11 am and then I have my aqua therapy this afternoon and after that Im gonna get a pedicure. Got to have those toes looking all pretty for surgery....lol Im watching Msnbs right now about all the pervs...Its so sick. Guess I need to get to bed when it goes off at 5 am or I'll never be up in time to get my hair done. Ohh by the way. Im having killer pain the last few days in all my joints and Im not supposed to take motrin. I tried tylenol twice yesterday and it just didnt cut it. Does anyone have any ideas ...Im thinking about trying ice packs today and see if that helps when I get up. Mariah

morning.....dan i bet is busy with those grandbabies... on those pain meds gal, i do remember those days i had to stop my pain meds 2 weeks before, and i was about ready to have to take them, but i did not, and i have not needed them since... i need to break down and get a hair cut as well.....

You know I haven't had a bad summer... I am not cold...often because everyone else is sooo HOTI have been comfortable excpt at work I have had to wear a jacket or a long sleave shirt because of the airconditioning.. and we are really saving by not turning the air conditioner on all the time here at home.. Remember only paint your fingernails with a light color... the thing they measure your oxygen level cant read thru dark polish.. at least that is what they told me in my education meeting.. (I chose to go with french tips). Actually sitting with a heat paid helps my joints the best. About Dan... I am concerned too... Not seeing him on here does bother me and asumeing he is with the grand kids don't cut it because he would at least get on here and brag about them... I DO Hope it is not his knee... Mine has been locking up on me and the Dr says it is not supposed to happen... Best of luck honey with surgery coming up... Linda

Good morning to you all, I had a great weekend. We finally got our deck finished, it turned out really nice. We had lunch and dinner on it. It was a great weekend to sit on the deck and just enjoy the nice breeze. Today will be a busy day for me. I have to go to The Heart Center today my mom is having surgery today. She is having a difbulitor(sp) put in. I am also working a half day. Well hope everyone has a great day and evening. Good luck on your surgery. Bonnie PS Oh I am down 33 lbs woo hoo and it feels so great!!!!!

Good morning all! I had my first physical therapy for my feet. Oh boy! I am to knock off as much walking as possible including my regular on-the-job walking!! And absolutely NO walking beyond what I have to do for work or getting groceries. Now...you all know me. This is going to be a royal pain in the badonkadonk! I'm use to getting at least 5 miles a day...and that IS a cut back from 10 miles a day! Now I am to do less than 2?!?! I am to do these 5 foot/leg exercises twice a day and THAT'S IT. So..no more strenth exercises for at least 3 weeks. Oh..and put my feet on ice for 10 minutes every 2 hours INCLUDING WHILE I'M AT WORK...in a lab???? We did the ice thing during PT and man did it hurt! You know the saying 'when it rains, it pours'? Well...had problems with my badonkadonk while in Vegas (again!) so gotta call my protologist & get in to see him. He said at my last visit that he'd be doing a clip-clip-clip (there's 3 blood vessels they clip) surgery the next time I had a flare up so we'll see. After I get my appointment with him, I then have to call the shop. Came home and my truck had no air!!! I'm alot colder blooded than before but when it's 80+, I need a little bit of cool air in a stuffy hot vehicle! On the plus side, now that it's summer, and they have the air REALLY cranked up at work, they finally got the deflectors up on the air units by my desk. Yeah!! I can type without gloves on!! You all have a great day! Sherri

Good morning everyone! Wow Sherri! Sounds like it really DID hit the fan for you! Sure hope things get to feeling better for you soon hun! I started my day out by sleeping until 10am!!! I NEVER sleep like that. But, I've been working pretty hard the last week, and on top of my nasty fall, and the sudden sharp increase of bedroom activities for me and hubby (!)- I'm beat! So I start getting laundry rounded up, and I came across a pair of hubby's shorts that I've always loved. THey are just olive cargo shorts, but they are so soft! So in a moment of dillusion, I decided to try them on and see how close I'm getting to wearing his shorts. I'm happily wearing them right now, and sitting in them without fears of ripping the badonkadonk out of them! A true WOW moment!

Thanks Darrah! My badonkadonk is feeling better this afternoon so I didn't make that appointment. My truck goes in the shop Wed. night for the air. And let's see....with doing only the walking that I absolutely had to do in order to do my job, I still walked 5 miles today. I tried, but I gotta be able to walk to my vehicle at the end of the day. And the PT wants it under 2 miles for an entire day??? I bet you felt all rested up when you woke up. Here's a weight loss fact for you...people who get 8 hours of sleep (as opposed to less than that as most get) lose weight quicker! So think of it as you getting some fat-burning done! Not to mention, that extra 'horizontal arobics' doesn't hurt anything either So..guess your hubby lost his shorts, huh? LOL! Was gonna say something but guess I better not...hahaha!! I'll let you guess on what that might be. Sherri

Good Afternoon! Mariah you have to post pictures of your new hair!! I always play with mine. I want to grow mine out long. I think the biotin will help. Been a busy morning at work. I am trying to get a head of the game so that my absence won't impact too many people. However people are wanting me for projects and I keep having to turn them down. Well I better get back to work! Everyone have a great day!! Sam

Ohhh girl I'll have Andy take pics when he gets home tomorrow. Its really different. I dont know if I can get a copy of the before pics that Dr. C's office took but I had really long blonde hair....its been blonde since spring. Today she cut over 7 inches off of it and I went dk brown. Its darker than my own natural...dk blonder or light brown. Its so different. I cant wait to lose some wt and with the new do all the neighbors will think Andys having an affair with some new woman....lol If you have any new magizines laying around the pic I took in was of a girl with dk brown hair in a pantene add. She has this retro Jackie O but softer curls kind of look. Just picture that great hair. I got it colored so I wouldnt have to worry about dk roots if I was recouperating very long. Always prepared for complications. Just home none arrise. Going a little later this afternoon for my pedicure. I hope you are having a good day. Seems like u are all packed and ready to go. I havent put one thing in a suitcase yet. I did get all the laundry done yesterday. Today Im emptying the fridge. I do liquids tomorrow. Getting most all the CRAP out of the house now. Mariah

I bet you look hot!!! I hope you have no need to prepare for complications. Be sure to post some pics. Did you get my email? Carmen I love getting my feet done you lucky bum!!
