It's Saturday
Well I hope that I do not make anyone mad, but I thought that I would start the Saturday thread being I had not seen one when I started this post.
Today is a busy day for me and my kids. I hope for it to be productive too.
I wish everyone a great day and hope that you enjoy this nice weather (better then some have been in the past couple of days).
Have a good day and I am keeping those in my prayers that need it.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

Good Saturday Morning my fellow Hoosier Losers...I am off work today yippeee~~although I am feeling much like I have a head cold coming on. I will go to the Dollar Store in a bit and get me some of their generic benadryl it works the best for me. I am hoping to get in my sewing room today, I want to make me a skirt to wear to church tomorrow or rework a dress I bought the other day at the thrift store. I have to make my own pattern because the store bought patterns confuse the dickens out of me so that might be a hefty goal to make a pattern and a skirt in a day but who knows.
Have any of you started your spring cleaning yet? I so need some ambition to get that done. My house is so short of closet space that I have to purge every few months, which is good but hard for me because I am a saver so I have had to change the way I live.
Peace and Love to you all

33 lbs lost prior to surgery!
good morning all.
Not too much on the agenda for me today. I am going to do some house work and hopefully get in some exercise. I am finally feeling like myself again and getting enough energy to make it thru the day. So woohoo! I am ready for a day of feeling good again.
I hope all of you have fun today in all that you do. I know a lot of people are having egg hunts and things.
Be safe and Happy Saturday!\

Good morning...
Well..I have the Easter baskets all ready for the grandkids tomorrow. Tiffany will be picking me & Bill up ~8. We're going to go to her house to visit with the grandkids for a little bit before she takes us on to the airport. We need to be there ~10.
As for today, I have to pack yet. I don't have a single thing ready but it shouldn't be too hard since we know when we're suppose to be coming back this round. I'll be giving Floyd & Brenda a call in a little bit to see when they'd like for us to bring Lotus over. She & CJ (their dalmation) became buddies when we went up to Mayo last time so this should be a good time for our 'kids'.
Through my reading up on Google, I read on one site to where it is believed that one of the causes for stomach distension is getting too much air into the intestines. It specifically stated straws and 'small openings' as a source for air. I know when we're newbies that we are told not to drink from straws because it could hurt our pouch. When I was a year or so out, I started using a straw again. It didn't give me a tummy ache so I thought I was fine. I also drink water, etc from a pop-top bottle and my hot drinks from a travel cup. I decided to try an experiment starting today of not drinking anything with a straw or small opening. Open top only. Since I've been measuring my belly anyway, we'll see if it makes a difference on the distension. It makes me wonder if that isn't why we aren't seeing more & more ischemic small intestines. Yesterday, I was up to 42"! Ouch!
Well..you all have a good day! I'll be giving Ellen a call a little later. I'll send your love to her.

Hi all. Leigh Ann, why would we get mad if you started the thread? 
First one on, gets the honor! Usually isn't me.... LOL
I have a crappy sinus headache. Darn it, I get sinus infections in the spring and in the fall. I wish my doctor would just let me call in and get a rx for an antibiotic. But noooo, she insists that I come in and pay her the co-pay just to be told what I already know and to be given the rx I always get to clear it up. It happens 2x year, every year like clockwork.
Ok - enough rant!! LOL
Lisa, if you start spring cleaning, you can come do mine for extra exercise! LOL I really need to start - baby steps!!
As the grandkids are older (15, 13, and 10) I didn't do big Easter baskets this year, just some little goodie bags with treats I know they like. I miss them being little.
Have a great Saturday everyone.....

Busy here today, I am getting ready to go to the YMCA to get some workout in. I also have housework and homework to get done. That order may change, just talked to Tracy and asked her to go to the Y with me, so we are planingn going to work out this afternoon.
Right now I am enjoying some peace and quiet, no one home but me and the animals and they are all sleeping.
Everyone have a wonderful Saturday, I am going to get so housework done.
Hugs
Peggy
