Sunday morning!

Good morning all! Hope you all have been enjoying your weekend so far. I got my freezer done yesterday. Today, it's writing my report..or at least, starting it, and grocery shopping. I know. Oh fun! LOL! I put some new pics of my sister & I in my picture trails in the friends & family section. I never know if I should put her there or in my WLS section. Cindy will be 3 yrs post-op in November (and has been at goal for awhile now). You all have an enjoyable day today! Hey Dawn...how'd the swimming go the other day? You didn't get burned again, did you??? Sherri

(Yawn) It is rare I would sleep in til 8, but since I didn't get to bed until 3:30, I think not getting up at 6 is excuseable. Got the car out of the shop yesterday, only to find that I now have no tail lights or interior lights. Nice! So hubby and my brother spent hours finding the short and fixing it. Now everything but the AC and radio (it was stolen) works.... for now (knocks on wood!). Got my bathing suit all fixed up and you can't even see it! Thanks for the advice! And Sherri, I've been putting nail polish on runs in panty hose since I started wearing them, does that make ME old? Hehehe. I gained two pounds but I know its due to my monthly, and I can FEEL the water weight gain in my legs. Somedays (or some weeks rather) it just doesn't pay to be a woman. Anyone heard from Dan, Angie, or Deb...? Haven't seen those folks in a bit.

Have you young ones not learned from us 'oldies'???? Pantyhose are out! Tans and the 'natural look' are in!! Unless they are fishnet , pantyhose should be reserved for those special occations to where a skirt is required wear (umm...weddings, funerals, or job interviews) and pantyhose only worn when absolutely you have to! lol No Darrah, you aren't 'old'...yet! But your Mamma taught you well! Glad you got your suit fixed up! Don't you just hate it when someone 'fixes' something to only break something else?!?! Have a good day today! Sherri

Good Morning, I have a sore thoath all week end and my voice is going in/out too. But,feeling a lot better today, I have so much to do before going to the consultation with my surgeon on Wed. Everything seems to happening so fast , which gives me a . I hope everyone has a wonderful day . I haven't found a pair of pantyhose that fit me since I quit shopping with Lane B's catalog LOL. I don't remember how pairs I ruined. LOTS, I know that. Take Care and have a super day. Hugs,Gail

Morning All! We are off to the Racetrack today to watch kart racing...it is going to be a hot one and I have my sunscreen packed in the cooler along with lots of fruit2Ofor me and water and lemonaid for Jon. This will be the first race in a long time that we can literally jus****ch...we always have so much to do with our own races with Jon being the race director it will fun to just sit and watch for a change. I am already looking forward to coming home and taking a cool shower! lol Darrah, I am so glad your suit came out good! You have fun in that! Don't feel bad about the weight....I am holding for my monthly too and I hate the way it just won't budge the scales...lol Ah...the joys of womanhood! I am still thrilled to be in the 200 category even if only by one pound. My own personal goal was to end up weighing 250 so I am getting closer all the time. I will alow my weight to go lower as it sees fit but I will be contented with 250. With my height and large build I know when I was 217 and got married the first time I was sooooo skinny. Well you all have a fabulous day and stay cool! HUGS! Marianne

Good morning everyone, lets see yesterday, I laid out in the sun for almost 2 hours got just enough sun, Last week it felt so good with the sun and a cool brezze I got to burnt and peeled. But stayed just long enough, I am back to work thankfully, being off for over 4 months has killed me. I will never get out of this and I owe so many people money back. My work let me come back with to lighter weight job for 2 months they never ever let anyone do that I can only left 30 pounds right now. The whole factory is pissed. At first I was upset because everyone was mad, but I thought no one even gave me a dime to help me out so they could kiss my a$$ I have two kids to support and the ones that were bi###ing were the ones that are married and have a second income. I am doing better. I still have some problems but am doing better. I go back in Sept 6th and if not healed the doctor is going to cut the one little peace of mesh netting she can see and then I should close up compleatly. And then just then I might have my life back Of course well still have to wait. Well know today for the rest of my weekend, oh I forgot I went fishing last night to, the first time this year. But I didn't catch anything. For today I am going to clean house. LOL Lisa B

Hey Everyone, Just got back from church, ate, & now checking in. LIFE has been pretty stressful the past week.Between my sis-in-law having ovarian cancer, & my youngest daughter's troubles, it has really been a rough week for me. Thank goodness I can't eat over every little thing ,like the past!!! We leave for Wisc. Wed. for a wedding & a family gathering. BOY AM I READY TO GET AWAY! I know, we just got back~ one of the joys of retirement! Darrah, I hope you get lots of enjoyment with your new suit! Oh, & nailpolish works great for so many things! Lisa, So glad to hear you are back to work. Don't worry about what others think,just take care of you & your boys. I have been praying for you .Man, I envy anyone who can get sun. My skin is so easily burnt, & after 3 pre-cancer removals this summer, I'm staying in the shade. Maybe we will see each other at SG in F-fort?! Marieanne, Enjoy the races! We go with our daughter, her hubby & grandson to IRP every yr. to the drags in Sept. Oh, & I'm a nut over Nascar & demo. derbys too.- Love it!!! Sherri, I am thinking of you gal. I know everything is going to go great. Just think of all the walking you'll be able to do-PAIN FREE!!!! Don't be surprised if I call you one day just to chat, ok? Everybody have a great day, (((Hugs))) Ellen

Ellen, You are welcome to call me anytime girl! I'll post on here when I'll be off. During that time, I can use lots of calls to chat! It'll keep me from going stir ! Right now, I'd be happy to be pain free when I am being still. My feet (yep, both of them) ache when I lay in bed in the mornings. I get up at 6 on the weekends because they wake me up. Walking makes the bunion worse but just being awake is enough to make that platar fashia well known (that's the ligament that runs from your big toe to your heal...at the arch of your foot). Being off of them completely is the surest way to heal that. Physical Therapy is suppose to help (3 weeks of it didn't). I've given the surgeon a thumbs up to inject both with a steroid while he has me out (doing the bunion surgery). Steroid injections are suppose to help, but I refuse to let him do it while I'm awake & alert. Had a steroid injection once in my thumb. It hurt like hell and I ended up having to have surgery anyway cause it didn't do any good. So...to have it done in the bottom of my feet...in the joints for the toes...???? Nope, not while I'm awake to feel it! Let me know if you need my numbers. While I'm recouping, my house # would probably be better than my cell #. Before that...cell would be best. Sherri
