STIR IT UP!

It's been awfully slow in here lately!  I know, I know.... it's summer, so many of us are outside enjoying the brief respite from our Minnesota Winters.  As we should be.

But chime in here, people - what's on your agenda for the rest of the summer?  How do you plan to enjoy your time???

Me?  ValleyFair this Friday, surgery next Tuesday (NOT FUN!), then 4 weeks off to recover.  I know my kidlets want to go to the Zoo again, but other than that I'm just going to relax, load some more music on my Sony, maybe watch some chick flicks that no one else in the family cares to see, and do as much walking/biking as I am able to!  (Might even try biking with the Hazelnut on her leash?!)

How 'bout YOU?? 

Darla,

Yep, were pretty booked.....This weekend were going to a friends place and swimming, maybe to another friends place for fish dinner.

Marty and I are going to see Hairball the 29th and then going camping the30th-2nd up past Duluth.  And then school starts....

Plus both you & Carol are having surgery next week, so I'm here if you guys need anything....:)

Kelly

You are too sweet, Kelly...  Rich told me about next Thursday - I sure hope to be up to you guys JOINING us, not just dropping something off!!!

You might have to keep your eyes shut, tho...  

We have had all of our sumer fun.....camping at Goseberry Falls, Wolf Ridge, Cabins a few times, boats, hikes.....the whole nine yards for MN summer fun!   Now we are taking it easy.  I need this as it really helps me focus on my planning for healthy food choices!!!  THAT feels so good!  :O)

Sounds like you've had a great summer so far, LJ!  I miss your smiling face!!!  (Isn't Wolf Ridge awesome??!??)

Nothing exciting for me.  I meet with my beading group about once a week, but other than that I'm spending my time job hunting.  I need something like YESTERDAY!
Wish I could so ValleyFair, but no $$ right now.  I've also gotta put some more stuff on my iPOD.

Good thoughts being sent your way for your surgery next week!

What about all your performances, Nancy?  You seem to have been pretty busy with that!!

And thanks for the good thoughts, I'll take 'em all!!!

Yeah, theatre kept me busy the first part of the summer.  We finished that show, though, so now I'm kinda just hangin' around!  ;)  

I did start volunteering for an organization called the Tiny Wish Foundation (www.tinywishes.org).  It's something I can do from home.  I'm helping to update their online bookstore.  It's already on my resume, too. 

Other than that, I'm on the net every day looking for job opportunities.  I need something YESTERDAY!

I'm doing everything to get prepared for the surgery date I hope I get soon.  I have jumped through all my hoops now, and they are just waiting for some paperwork to come in, then get approval from insurance, and then get my date!  Wow!

Last night I went to the support group from the clinic.  It was interesting.  This week I am going to listen to live music with husband and friend from work tomorrow.  This Sunday a friend is coming to visit from SE Minnesota and staying overnight.  I have Mondays off right now. 

The last weekend of the month my spouse and I are heading up to Bemidji for a few days to visit relatives and enjoy the area.

Here's hoping you have your approval and surgery date to share with us SOON, Mary!!!  WOO HOO!!!

And GOOD MOVE starting with support before your WLS - be sure to keep it up, it makes a HUGE difference!
