Saturday

Good morning all!

I would say 'Dang Dog'..but in truth, when Lotus came to my side of the bed to wake me up, I was already awake. She just 'encouraged' me to get my butt out of bed is all. I had to go potty anyway. So...that was at 3:50. I normally get up at 3:30 for work so that wasn't so ungodly early for me..but earlier than I wanted to get up on my day off! So...Lotus went potty. I went potty. I laid back down....and stared at the ceiling until 5!! Grrr! So..here I am. 6:40 and wide awake. I'm gonna go grocery shopping pretty soon I think. I'd like to get it done before the aisles get too packed with idiots...err....shoppers.

I had my days mixed up yesterday! It's next Thursday that Bill plans for us to go to TGIF's. I had my taste buds all watering for that french onion soup yesterday! LOL! Ah well....I can wait. There wasn't a TGIF's near where we were at. It looks like things are moving right along for Bill to start his computer courses after we get back from Minnesota. He's going for system admininster certification. I think he'll be pretty good at it. It's a work at your own pace and are suppose to be able to be done in 1 year. Knowing Bill? He'll be done by Christmas. Probably Halloween but I'll give him 2 months extra. lol.

Other than getting groceries, I also plan to go get my hair trimmed today. I asked Bill if he'd get the suitcases out of the shed while I'm gone so I can start packing when I get home. I don't want to be rushed next weekend to try to get everything done at the last minute.

Well..have a good day everyone!

Tracy...

Thank you so much for the ecard! It's never to early to wish for a little bit of the Irish luck!

Sherri

I have been up since 5:00. I am off to work in a little while until noon and then I am off for 11 days! Going to play with the grandaughters this afternoon. Then going to bed early so we can be up very early tomorrow to head for Florida. My cruise starts Monday. I hope to be home for Sunday's for bowling for Maggie.

Sherri, I hope to go to dinner with you guys to wish you weel for your trip to Mayo. My sister goes the following week. She is still sick so I hope she improves for her trip.

Everyone have a safe and healthy week. Jana

I'm up and at it early today.  I always get up and fix my husband breakfast since some days he is so busy he doesn't get any lunch and he is a diabetic.  (I send with him protein bars so he doesn't spaz out!)

I'm going to get on the treadmill and try to get an hour in.  Since I got a wrap for my back I can usually go that long but I have to lay down on my back for a while afterwards.  But it is worth it.  It makes me feel so much better!

I've been taken my enzymes (SO expensive I just can't believe it!) with every meal.  I have not had one of my spells since I had the cat scan!    I guess my food wasn't breaking down and trying to pass was so painful.  I'm just glad I haven't had a spell!

I also joined WW to get the last few pounds off.  I think that is helping also.  I'm really watching what I am eating and I'm eating very healthy.   Last week I lost 1.8 lbs!  For someone with only 14 lbs to lose to get to my range midpoint and be 3 1/2 years out from WLS, I think that is pretty good.  But boy is it hard.  18 points is nothing in food (or at least it seems that way!)  But I do eat three good meals a day trying to keep them at 6 points each. Then you have 35 weekly points allowance to use as you see fit.  Wow I try not to use them but it's hard.

Today I'm going to get a roast and take it over to my son & DIL's put in the slow cooker for them.  They work really late and eat supper when they come home.  I asked how I could help them since they have been working lots of long hours and that's what they wanted.  So I guess that's what I'll do!

Even though I don't post a lot, I lurk!  I pray for those who ask for prayer.  I pray from Linda and Mike and all they have been through!  I can't even imagine! 

All, have a good weekend and a wonderful week ahead!   Keep your face to the Son and you won't see the shadows!

Morning all. I woke up this morning with the worst sore throat and head cold I have had in ages. I can't call in either, because I called in a few weeks ago, so I have to go in and suffer.  Oh well, I have already taken my vitamins and now meds to try and break this mess loose.  Hopefully it will soon.  I know that strep throat is running around, so I hope that isn't the case here.

Hope everyone is able to get out and enjoy the warm weather.  It is supposed to be in the mid 70s today! Can't wait for it to STAY like that either!

I talked to Maria C. (pentacostgal_76) yesterday. She is getting along just fine. She feels great, and doesn't know exactly how much weight she has already lost.  She knows that she has already dropped down into some of the size 18 clothes that she had stored from many years ago!  Not bad from size 24 the day of surgery! 

Take care everyone.  Have a great weekend.

Good morning all.

I am slow going this morning.  I worked my tail off here yesterday and then had a rockband evening with the kids.  We played until they were tired and wanted to go to bed.  They were drained from ISTEP testing this week.  So they are still in bed this morning.

We are going to see Daddy today!  I am excited about that.  Haven't seen him in a month and I miss him so much!  We are gonna take him to the park for a picnic lunch I think.  The kids are excited to see his two litters of puppies too.  They are weaning now and will be ready to go to their families soon.   They are the cutest little things.  I am sure Ty will be laying on the floor with puppies all over him when he gets there.  I will have to take some pictures.

So, I am gonna get some fluids in early and set off for my trip to Daddy's house in a bit.

Huge hugs,
Tracy

Love to all have a beautirful day !! Hugs, &  Blessings, Gail

Tracy, Thank you, I loved my e-card !!!! it made my day !! and Scot said "thank-you" too.
Terry, Thank you for the PM I wished you could have seen me smile. I miss love you !!!!!!!!!!!

Today will be a typical Saturday for me.  I will go and watch my granddaughter at gymnastics, it is so funny watching little 3 and 4 years old work the balance beam and bars and flips.  She absolutely loves it.  Then I will babysit my grandkids while my daughter has her hair done.  Then off to the store usually Wally's World.

I will come back take a mini nap and then get ready for girls nite out.  We are going to see a guy that works at my company perform at a cabaret.  We will go to dinner first and then to the show.

I am trying to stay on my diabetic diet, but have been faltering since I know I am having surgery in almost two weeks.  I want one last bite of everything.  My blood sugar is still within range, sp the Metformin must be working.  I am to the point I am sick of food so my mind is on track for the surgery.  Anyone else do th is?

Well, I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful Saturday.

Lisa
