3 THINGS FOR MONDAY
Today, I'm grateful for:
1. I got to spend some quality time with some of my fave ladies on Saturday - Mom, K and Boxer. We had a blast!!!! It never fails to remind me what's important in my life!
2. The Ravens played yesterday. I'm all for what the team does for the city/State, although I hate to break it to some people, there ARE more important things in life!! However, I've discovered that game time is the best time to be out in the stores!!! There are only 1/4 of the idiots out there for about four hours!! Woo-hoo!!!
3. Short week!! We're heading - at least I hope we're still heading - to the beach this weekend. And although the weather looks stinky, away is away and a bad day at the beach is better than a good day at work!!!
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning sweetie!!! Glad you had a fun weekend. My saturday was sooo filled, I thought it was the whole weekend, what a thrill to wake up yesterday and know I STILL had another day. Despite my thoughts of going to Arundel Mills, I ended up just hanging out yesterday afternoon. We had ordered a couple of music DVD's from Amazon that came the other day, so we popped those in and watched them instead of football .. lol. .. I did catch a part of the 1st half of the Ravens game and we watched the end of the Giants/Skins game .. GO GIANTS !!! (I'm not much of a DC/Baltimore fan here .. guess even after 20 plus years old habits die hard).
For me today ...
1) it's a short week .. I've got today and tomorrow in the office, Wednesday I will be in and out of the office (have a meeting mid day in Baltimore) .. and then Wednesday night (weather permitting) we are off to Gettysburg for 5 days. I am looking forward to the getting away part. The weather is not looking promising, but I'm sure there will be things to do. Either Thurs or Friday we are going to ride to Hershey to the RV show (and NO .. we are not buying .. unless someone wants to give us a brand new one even trade for Freddy !!!) and there's an auction of fire truck stuff that Mr Mo wants to go to on Saturday.
2) Friends that make me laugh and that love me unconditionally .. no matter what ..
3) My furry kids .. they seem to love me unconditionally too !!!
4) my old standby .. being happy with myself and my life ..
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
Today, I'm grateful...
1. For being able to spend time with Tia and her mom and getting to know K a bit better. Geriatric Bingo was fun, even if the little old ladies won everything! LOL!
2. For having the restraint to drag out Book 3 of the Twilight series out until Book 4 comes in the mail. I can't NOT have something to read so if I finish Book 3, I'll end up starting something else in the meantime.
3. For having a fairly relaxing day at home yesterday. And for having gotten a couple of meals for the week cooked yesterday - Crockpot Italian Stew w/Quinoa and a big pot of Chili. I also made the most delish baked pork chops for dinner last night.
Have a great day all!

Tia - glad you found some time for the board this morning
Today I am grateful that
1. The RAVENS WON yesterday: they had me worried there for a bit.!
2. My RNY: without it Saturday would not have been possible ( see yesterdays post)
3. That I got to see the Ravens game yesterday: I came into work 4 hours but left
intime to get home and watch the game !
4. That some of my friends get to go to the beach this weekend: I will be here slaving
away but I'm glad for those who do get to go.
Have a great day all
Good Morning to all of you, Tia glad you had a nice weekend with Mom, K and Boxer. Sounds like you had a good time. I hope you all do get to the beach you and I are on the same page about going to the beach no matter what the weather is...I hope you all can go... I have three things for this Monday...
I am thankful for...
1) Time spent with my 2 son's and friends this weekend camping. We made stepping stones and I won bingo twice. Had great crabs too.
2) Mom went home yesterday even though to a hospital bed. She is home and I am hoping she will make more progress there. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers...
3) Friends who accept me for who I am a really care about me. Friends that are here on OH and the support and care we all try to share...
Have a great day and remember be good to each other....

Of course we are and I cannot wait until Thursday.
I have so much to be grateful for today
1. Major one..........My son came and told his father and I that he was still drinking and that he could not stop as much as he has tried. This morning he signed up for a 28 day program which I am so very proud of him for doing.
2. That I got my butt to church yesterday to thank God for all the things he has done for me and the tears flowed while I sang His praise.
3. A couple of years ago when I first began going to this church I was in a terrible place in my life. My son had just separated from his wife and children and could not stay sober. My other son and his wife were trying so hard to get pregnant thinking it was never going to happen. And then there was the very overweight me that could not lose weight no matter how hard I tried. My life was miserable and I was very depressed.
4. I am so grateful that we all have come so far from that time in my life.
5. You guys........I love you all!
1. Other driver admitted fault in the accident and the check is in the mail.
2. Ravens won!
3. Although I didn'****ch the game yesterday, I was at church for an installation ceremony of a dear former boss of mine who became the official pastor of the church. Towards the end of the ceremony, he had a few things to say, thanking everyone and yada yada, then he said, Ravens 38 Chiefs 24. Whoot Whoot!
4. I had a wonderful weekend - it seemed like a dream and I felt like I would be going to back to work at JCPenneys that evening, or that morning, I kept feeling like I had to be somewhere doing something LOL.
5. I have a great weekend coming up this weekend. A few friends of mine are heading up to DE for one of our friend's birthday celebration. Whenever we get together, we have lots of fun. SMILES
6. I'm inching closer to being a member of the Century club.
Next!
