Good morning to all - TGIF!  I had decaf tea so far, then for breakfast half of a toasted whole-wheat English muffin with peanut butter and sugar-free jelly and a few fresh strawberries.

)   What is your favorite summer time drink?
Crystal Light lemonade mixed half-and-half with CL Iced Tea

2)   Do you where sleeveless tops  . . even if you have sagging skin on your arms?
No, I would rather hide my unflattering flaws!

3)   I still have body issues even after 4 years . . do you?
Still a work in progress... we shall see

4)   Got anything you want to rave/rant about?
Nah.... it's been a pretty good week

5)   What's up for the weekend?
I'm doing my first 5K tomorrow in Armada to benefit a local 4H club.  My husband and one daughter are running, while my other 2 daughters and I are walking.  Let's cross our fingers for a nice morning with no rain!  Other than that, this is my weekend to work, so 4 hours working on Saturday and a full day on Sunday. 

1)   What is your favorite summer time drink?  I have been drinking crystal light raspberry lemonade with slices of frozen lemons

2)   Do you where sleeveless tops  . . even if you have sagging skin on your arms?  I still where sleeveless even with the bat wings.

3)   I still have body issues even after 4 years . . do you?   Will there ever be a time that I will see a difference from my former self. . .  I still beat myself up because I haven't met my goal and relate everything to that number . . I am trying hard to give praise for the things I have accomplished . . but it is hard.

4)   Got anything you want to rave/rant about?  I lost my Uncle this week, my grandma died when he was 10 so he lived with us when he was growing up, so it is like losing a brother. So many of my cousins missed out on the great man he was because he was mentally challenged and ignorant people are afraid of what they don't understand. . . that was my rant! . . My rave is he will be helping 8 people with his organs, bone and skin donations!

5)   What's up for the weekend?  I actually have off the next 4 days and my son and grand-daughter and dogs will all be gone for the weekend . . HOME ALONE . . YIPPEE!!!  I have tons of cleaning to do and Midland has there antique festival so I will go nose around on Sunday.

Oh man... totally forgot about the Antique Festival. I wish I could go with you but it doesn't look like I'll have time to get over there this weekend.  We need to plan on going to the next one in July.

Kristy,

Sorry to hear about your Uncle.  That's wonderful that he was a donner, so many people will benefit from his unselfishness.

Good Morning Kristy and everyone! 

1)   What is your favorite summer time drink? Crystal Light lemonade with blood orange juice, but since they are only in season a short time my regular fav. is Starbucks iced tea.

2)   Do you where sleeveless tops  . . even if you have sagging skin on your arms? No

3)   I still have body issues even after 4 years . . do you? Yes

4)   Got anything you want to rave/rant about? I hate my boss.  She makes me want to use bad, bad, bad words.  I don't like that she can drive me so crazy but she is evil incarnate.  My rave is my stomach virus.  I have been too sick to eat, so I've lost 3 lbs.  That's kind of twisted, huh?

5)   What's up for the weekend? Same old, same old.  Taking care of stuff around the house and shuttling the kid around.  Maybe catching up on Weeds if I get all of my work done.

Have a good weekend!!!

Good morning!

I'm enjoying some blackberry carbmaster yogurt and fresh blueberries.  yum yum yum!  Working to get a mailing out today and wrapping up a couple smaller projects.  3 of my 4 bosses are out of town today.... so it gives me a chance to get caught up on stuff.

1 -- right now it's Protein Chai Tea over ice.  But once it gets really hot I'll break out my Icy Maker and do slushies made with cherry limeade (or whatever)

2 -- sleeveless for sure!  if they don't like my batwings they don't have to look.  I'm not sacraficing my comfort for vanity. No siree!

3 -- I guess I don't have any more (or less) body issues now than I did before surgery.  They're just different issues. Before it was because I was too fat, now it's cuz I am too wrinkled.  So I guess it's a toss up, huh?

4 -- Rave - next week is the last week of class for the semester and I'm taking the summer off!  I'm so looking forward to the freedom.  (Although I've got so many things I want to get done over the summer that I suspect I'll still be busy like normal... but at least it'll be with stuff I WANT to do instead.)

5 -- School tomorrow like normal.  After class I might need to hit the office for a few hours to deal with some stuff (we'll see).  Sunday is my nephew's graduation, if it doesn't rain I'll do the ceremony... if it rains it gets moved indoors and he only gets a couple tickets for parents.  I'm off work on Monday so I think of it as part of my weekend.  Got 2 doctor appointments and a dentist appointment on Monday, then need to get my hair colored and squeeze in a massage before heading to Flint to speak at the support meeting at Hurley.

Hi everyone - TGIF!!

1)   What is your favorite summer time drink?  I like iced tea or SF Grape koolaid.

2)   Do you where sleeveless tops  . . even if you have sagging skin on your arms?  Yep, I do wear sleeveless tops.

3)   I still have body issues even after 4 years . . do you?  Yep, I do.  I have sagging skin on my thighs and butt  and arms but I have no plans at all for plastics.  In clothes, I can wear a size 2 or 4 in pants and a small top but I still pick out larger sizes when picking out clothes to try on because I don't see myself as small yet. 

4)   Got anything you want to rave/rant about?  Rant...sure do.  Verizon sucks!!  I went to upgrade my son's phone yesterday since he was eligible to upgrade and now, when you upgrade almost ALL their phones REQUIRE a data package!!  So they are forcing people to buy the data package (capability of connecting to internet and email, etc) by requiring it when you upgrade your phone.  Ugh....my parents are on my plan and they'd have no use for that feature at all....wouldn't even know how to use it!!  But if they ever need to replace their phones, when they do, they will be required to put a data package on the plan.  Data packages are $29.99 a month...per phone!!! (they do have one that is $9.99/month...big whoop!)  Ok, thanks for letting me rant.   

5)   What's up for the weekend?  BUSY!!!!!  Tonight is my son's graduation commencement ceremony.  Tomorrow is Steve's son's open house.  Sunday is Steve's son's commencement ceremony!  Hoping for cooperative weather, especially tomorrow!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

we had that same problem with my daughter's Verizon phone. . . she is on our family plan but couldn't afford to pay $25.00 per month for a data plan.... so she bought a pay-as-you-go phone at Target that was branded for Verizon, then switched it over to her old phone number.  It works great, she isn't charged for any data useage and she has a good basic cell phone.  You could  try that if you need to...
