3 THINGS FOR MONDAY!!!
Animals, please!!! Line up two by two - in alphabetical order, please!!!!! No, NO, zebras at the end!!!! 
Today, I'm grateful for:
1. That I have a short work week. You KNOW it's bad when I'm looking forward to being off for a dental visit on Friday!!! LOL!!!
2. My Dad's bday is this week. Thank God that, despite his best intentions, it seems as if he'll live to see 67 on Wednesday!!! You'd never know to look at him how bad his health really is!
3. My family. Even though family dinners are sometimes "challenging," I'm very lucky to have them. So many people have no one - I couldn't exist were it not for my family.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning Tia, I wish the rain would go away. I left Wed. to go camping and just got home last night had a nice time and went to Apple Blossom Fest.. Sat did some shopping and just hung out when it didn't rain. Glad for your short week sorry about the dentist.. Happy Bday to your dad.. I hope you do something special for him...Family is great but at times a very big challenge too....I hope you have a great day too. I saw the pictures from the brunch and I loved them. Your shirt was beautiful. I would love to get one....Today I am thankful for...
1) Camping for a week even with rain.
2) Filing out all my paper from Dr. Li's office...
3) Mothers day coming and I will be taking mom camping...

Mom I hope you rest in Peace knowing that you were loved and will be missed. Keep love alive in your
heart as I know I will. You are now an 
and I know you will be looking down on us from above......... I am OK.......
I know we will appreciate all of this rain later in the summer. But I agree, right now, it is a bit of a downer.
As usual the weekend was too short.
Today, I am grateful for...
1 - A good time with family on Sunday. It was just a pleasant time. I finally got a decent picture of me and my twin nephews. They are at that gawky, awkward stage and don't always cooperate too well. I will attach the pic below.
2 - Being able to buy a Sag Harbor Skirt off the rack, for $9 on Saturday. I went into Ross to get a gift card, and decided to go looking around. I had never shopped there in the past because there was never anything I could wear. Even after all of this time, I am amazed when I realize that I have so many more options when it comes to shopping. This will never get old! P.S. I am wearing the skirt in the pic (not that you can see a lot of it!)
3 - All of my family and friends.
That's a great pic of you and the boys! They're handsome men in training!! And YOU - O M G, check out those clavicle bones!!! I love the skirt, too - you just GLOW.
I'm so glad you had that WOW moment shopping for clothes - it's good to treat yourself - you are worth it!!
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Tia

Glad you had a nice time camping, despite the rain! The blouse you mentioned was a bday gift from my Mom - very colorful!
Remember to keep copies of all the paperwork you submit.
Your son should be very proud of himself!! To get a bonus in today's economy is definitely a bonus!
Have a great day!

Good morning everyone!!!
Today I am grateful for:
1. my family
2. my friends
3. that I am 9 days away from my GYN appt. that will lead to another appointment
that will put an end to these miserable days every month I know I know TMI
But it is something I am grateful for so it made the list !!!!!
4. That we managed to find the drivers to work the weekend and did not
have any complaints about lack of drivers!!!!!
5. Edited to add this one : I made it to the MAC both Saturday and Sunday!!!
I hadn't been there in a week and a half so I was really missing it!
Hey Darla!
Sorry you had to work over the weekend! So did I, and in a perverse way, I think I would've gotten more done at the office. It's too easy to get distracted at home. Plus, Happy HATES when I type - she's constantly bringing me her dumbbell for me to throw and when I don't, she barks LOUDLY at me!! LOL!!!
Good for you for making it to the MAC despite everything!!
Hugs,
T
1. Friends and family
2. My 2.2 pound weight loss this week.
3 water aerobics.
4. Yard sale to raise money for my team - Friends Celebrating Life, walking in June for the Race for the Cure. ( I will post more about that in the coming days)
Everyone have a good day.
Whom ever said that people who have WLS are taking the easy way out, have never had this experience. This is a journey and a major challenge. Step by step I am striving to make it as a loser!!
