What a weekend!

Hi guys!

This weekend has been a wild one for me!  How was everyone else's?  Did we survive the weekend munchy monsters?  I did mostly until Richard went and got Blizzard's last night!

Dawn, are you better about being the mommy of a five year old?  Just think....August....KINDERGARTEN!!!!

Lee Ann, are you feeling better yet?  How's the kiddos and Mr. B?

Vicki (DS) did you get the last load of stuff from the old house yet?  I saw you were making cheese crisps....is it a good protein recipe?

Vicki (Band) I saw you went shopping this weekend.  Get anything good?

Kelly and Sol, you two getting ready for the big day??

Is Tracy back from Daytona yet??  Did you get hot dog race pictures??

Binky, is your pouchy feeling better yet?

Michelle, Sandi, Dannyell, Sonja and anyone else I missed....I hope all is well for you guys as well!!


I am sitting here sipping my coffee and nursing my aching body from my bonehead accident yesterday.  Nothing is broken, I don't guess (other than my glasses that is), but I'm plenty bruised and sore!  The good news is that the yard once again looks good!  Until we started hauling limbs and brush to the fire pit I didn't realize how much tree damage there actually was!  We started burning around noon yesterday and quit adding to the fire at about 8pm.  When I let the dogs out to feed them this morning I can see the fire pit is still smoldering!

I'm thinking today we will attack the basement and move some furniture around and then this coming week I will do the house things I can do on my own to get ready for our get together!

According to the weather forecast, this coming Saturday will be partly cloudy and in the 50's.  Just right for a bonfire and house party!  I'm now thinking about ordering chicken wings instead of doing the chicken on the grill.  Sound good to you guys?

I'll go back to the other thread and see what some of you were planning on bringing and i'll work up a list!  I can't wait for Saturday!!!  Is anyone on a more specialized diet we need to be mindful of??

OK, time to go fix all the clocks in the house and get some Tylenol in my body.  I also need to go shower and figure out how to fix my new hair so I don't look like a red head q-tip! 

Have a great day everyone!

awww sorry Becka!!!! Get to nursing that bruised body..maybe a nice long hot bath????

What do you want me to bring?? I have an hour and half drive... keep that in mind..lol

How the heck did you crash and burn on the segway????  Yes we went shopping hit several several stores.  Bob got more than I did we are trying to get stuff for Florida.   I purchased a purse and 2 shirts and that was it for me.  Oh and the Dairy Queen and blizzard thing, Bob and I stopped at our Dairy Queen can you believe Dairy Queen was out of ice cream how the hell do you run out of ice cream when that is what the store sells.

Hope you get to feeling better

Vicki

  They ran out of ice cream??? 


OK....picture Becka on Richie's Segway doing the mall cop thing at about 12 miles per hour zooming across the front yard.  One wheel either catches on a mole hole or something and quits spinning.  Becka sails over the handlebars, doing a cartwheel and lands on her head/neck/face area.  It was all very graceful and as I was sailing through the air my only thought was "oooh, this is gonna hurt." 

I broke my glasses and my head, back, ankle hurt now.  Both legs and one hand have various bruises too.  Good news is that the Segway is fine though and it will be there for people to ride this coming weekend ALTHOUGH we will govern it back down to a max speed of 7mph.

Sandi, let me get my head together later today and I'll come up with an idea for the party.  I promise it will be today though so we can all make our plans! 

My weekend was ooooh, so exciting. I went to b'fast with Hubby and son yesterday am came home and cleaned the garage work space with Hub and then he and a friend cut out the friends son's pinewood derby car.  Today he will do two for our son, one for each parent and one for the uncle (b-i-l) that lives here.
Today my school recognized the teachers and staff in a worship service with the congreation.  Oh, and saw a former co-worker there who has had RNY surgery.  She looks great again and is in a size 10, -112 pounds. She had Dr. Geller and is excited for me.

As for if I am ready...
getting there.
started cleaning house. Thankfully mom will be here to help. PHEW!
need a have to have list so I can pack.
I may need to do more lessons as it may not be spring break when I have surgery after all...Ooops.. but I am not switching my date.
Emotionally I am ready. 
Thanks for asking Becka!!!

Becka!  "Oh, this is going to hurt"  TOO FUNNY!!  But, sorry you are sore...I agree with Sandi, go soak in a hot bath. 
Me?!  Ready?!  Heck no!  I WAS super freakin' excited, until I got my packet of info yesterday from Dr. Geller's office.  Then, I started feeling a little over whelmed and nauseous.   I have 2 appointments on the 12th (lab, x-rays and stuff and the pre-op class) and then 2 appointments on the 19th (pulm and cardio).  At which, I'm suppose to bring a copy of the x-rays and EKG fromt he appointment on the 12th.  Then, I was signing my life away with financial stuff, hope you don't die we aren't to blame stuff, and such.  My heart was racing!  I'm sure my blood pressure was up.  But, I keep thinking, I WANT THIS.  I just still can't believe how quickly this is going.  I swear, when I heard I had to do a 6 month diet w/my doctor that seemed like forever.  Now, I'm at the end and boom! boom! boom!  Gonna be done in no time!  Okay, enough freakin' out!
I have had a really nice weekend.  I think the spring like weather has put me in a spring cleaning mood.  I've cleaned my room, the kitchen and bathroom good.  We're getting a new mattress delivered tomorrow.  Can't wait!  Ours KILLS my back. 
I'm looking forward to Becka's get together this coming weekend.  Hope we have a great turn out!

Hi everyone,

This weekend was a slow one for me.  That doesn't happen too often.  I got up yesterday and went and met my church ladies for breakfast.  Then I went to the bank to make a deposit for my son.  In the afternoon, two of my son's friend who I hadn't seen in forever came by and we talked until dinner.  Then I cooked, got on the computer for a while, cleaned the kitchen and went to bed.

Today, I went to church.  Ate lunch at church.  Our women's group and a soup and salad lunch and it was wonderful.  At least, until I got home and started counting calories.  Yuck!!!!

In a few minutes, we are leaving to go to my son's mother-in-law's 50th birthday party at the Mexican restaurant.

That will be two time of Mexican this week and I'm already up on the scales from the last one!!!!

Becka, the dessert I'm bringing is diabetic friendly.  So if anyone needs a diabetic dessert, I'll have one.

I  so did not need a kindergarden reminder. MRS. TALLEY! that was just hateful...  I tried to do too much this weekend and have hurt my right ankle. SO today im doing very little. Tommorrow I have to clean my house and pack. Char's surgery is tuesday and im dreading it bug time..
  So thats where I am.. nothing exciting!!
Dawn

  I'm sorry.....forgive me?

I'll tell ya though...I treaded it for the month before it came....I shed a tear when I put her on the bus but ten minutes later.....I was skipping out to do things for ME! ME! ME!  

In other words....you get over it REALLY quick!

Becka, I am almost ashamed to admit I spent the remainder of my weekend sitting by a roof-top pool, getting sunburned and drinking a mojito....LOL...I justified the mojitos (2) by taking an 18 mile bike ride through the mission trails of Texas.... :o).....naw, not ashamed, just gloating a little!
Hope your Tylenol kicks in and you feel better!  Lee Ann, hope all is well for you too!
