MONDAY WHATS HAPPENING!!!!!!!

Well once again it is Monday morning. Seems as if they come around every few days. Lol. Yesterday afternoon and evening we painted inside the trailer some more, we just about have that all done. Have a lot of cutting in to do now . Then we have to finish the cabinets. I'm getting excited about it being finished .Wonder who will be our first guest. Today's plans are ,Joe has a Drs. Appointment at the pain clinic for new pain meds. and then the meeting tonight so not a lot in between. No matter how much I water stuff it doesn't seem to be enough. I have established bushes that sure seem to be getting stressed. I put a drip hose on them at night and it still doesn't seem to be helping much. We really really need some rain. Colette: So sorry about your husband, I know how it is to have a sick husband in the hospital, it takes all your time and energy. Please know that we are all praying for him and for you for strength. Take care of yourself and let us know how he is doing. Melissa. Hey your idea of the phone numbers and checking on one and another is a great one. I am proud to know you as a friend. Are you just now getting to add regular food to your diet ? You said that you could soon add the south beach bars. I was just wondering. I sure wish I lived next door to you and your pool we could exercise together. Cant wait to see you tonight. Love you babe. Wayne: Hope April is better. I don't know what is wrong but will be praying for her never-the-less. We will miss you at the meeting. David: Just know that we are thinking about you and praying for you and hoping that you get better soon. We all love and care for you. Craig: Not long till surgery for you. Only 2weeks wow. It is only 5 weeks till my surgery can you believe it how close it is getting? Sort of getting antsy aren't you? Benny: yes please get that weight going down. That would be really sad and discouraging to say the least to have to reschedule . See you tonight anxious to meet you too. Deanne: Good to see you once again. Glad you are enjoying your vacation with your brother. How is the weight loss going? You really need to get a new picture up .I know you have had to change a lot. I have been wanting to see that movie CLICK too it looks like a really fun movie. Elizabeth: We certainly hope your knee is on the road to being better now. Did you have the new type surgery done that is a small scar on the side of the knee or the one where they have to cut all the way down and over the knee cap? How are you doing with your rehab of it. Can you imagine having both of them done at the same time? My sister had both of hers done that way. She needed both done and she said she was afraid she would be chicken and not have the other one done after the first one and so much pain. Yes I will certainly recommend the Hard Luck Diner to anyone in Branson anymore. To me I am not real crazy about going to Branson but would go over there to eat again. Just mainly for the entertainment. But the food was really good too. Has anyone ever been to Whippersnappers? They have an excellent seafood buffet. All you can eat lobsters on it. Yummy Lana: Glad you got your living room painted. Makes you feel good to have nice clean walls again doesn't it. What color did you paint them? Will be good to see you tonight too. Rachael: I certainly hope the doctors find out what is causing all your pain. We will continue to keep you in prayer. So you think telling your little girl now every day to not be messy will do some good? Lol Good luck. I found that little girls can be just as messy as little boys so don't hold your breath too much. I use to do that when my kids were little , just shut their doors. And tell them if you want to live in that ok but I don't want to look at it. Everyone is still keeping your cousin in prayer for a complete healing. Andrew: we will be glad to see that big bald guy on your message board. They make it sound so easy to put it up . Yet so many people are having a lot of trouble. Sure wish you could come to our meeting in Springfield too but I know it would be a really long way for a lot of people. Maybe some time one of your appointments with Dr. H. will work out to be right time. It is always the 2 Monday of the month and the one in Sedalia is the second Tuesday I think. Brenda: I don't know what is going on with Lia either. I have sent her emails and gotten no answer either. See this is another reason for the system that Melissa talked about. It has been over a month since she has been on and no one knows why. Hope she is ok and just busy or on vacation or something. Carol: are you going to the meeting tonight? Hope to see you there. My husband and I are going to Springfield this afternoon so we will be there already and I will go to the meeting before we come home. I am going to try and get my sister to meet me there too. Hope to see a lot of you tonight. Have a good day LOVE ,JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS JAN

Good Morning Family: How is everyone this cloudy morning?? Well is the rain gonna hit us today or not?? It was sprinkleing while I was in the pool yesterday but nothing bad. Today look like here in Joplin area we could really get the rain we need. I have always loved rainy days. Expecialy when the dark clouds would roll in and it would thunger so hard you could feel the ground tremble. And lighting would flash across the skyes. I could just sit outside for hours and watch it when the weather is like that. I think I missed my calling as a storm chaser. Got alot of errands to do today. So I need to get off my buff and get busy. I thought what I would do is drop you all a email personally about the emergency number. That way you will have my email address and you can send it too me. We will by pass OH all together. I will be seeing some of you at the meeting tonight. Cant wait it will be my first time driving to Springfield without DH driving for me. YEA!!!! Might have to scoop the loop a couple of times. lol I love you all and I feel so totally blessed to have been lead to this board. PLEASE keep Wayne's wife April in your prayers today. She is having surgery on a hernia today. So he wont be at the meeting tonight. God Bless You All Love ALways Melissa

What a wonderful day--lots of clouds and some showers off and on so far. We were really needing the rain and it's doing it just right. It's raining real slow and then it stops and soaks into the ground and then rains again. I love days like this--real lazy days! Just got home from exercising and now it's laundry time. Hope you all have a great meeting tonight--ours in Sedalia is tomorrow night. Drive safely to and from your meeting and God's blessings to each of you... Linda 30 days from today--whoooooooooo hooooooooooo can hardly wait. Saw my pcp Friday and he told me he was glad I'm having the surgery--he's a new dr. for us. He said if I continued like I am now he would give me 3 years to live!!!!!!!! That scared both my husband and I big time. Now I'm really ready for my surgery! Bye-Bye

Good afternoon Jan. Things are great here and hope they are the same with you. How was Joe's appt? Good I hope. Be careful traveling to your meeting tonight. My weight loss continues to go great as far as I know. My brother doesn't have a scale and I really can't weigh on a regular one yet anyhow. But, he has a doctor's appt. tomorrow and I plan on going with and seeing if I can jump on the scale. Never thought I would actually be looking forward to getting on a scale. lol As for the new picture, I think I can change it but it will have to wait until I get home as I have to get a picture off of my computer. Have a great time at your meeting tonight and stay safe. Deanna

Heya everyone It's be such a crazy lazy day here. We've had some nice needed rain, not that much but we'll take every bit we can get. The grass and stuff is so dry. Did a few errands today in the rain...i just love the rain. I remember as a kid playing in the rain, soooo much fun. Im like you Melissa, I love storms. I love watching the clouds roll and the lightning shoot across the sky, my lil chiuahua runs and hides tho lol. Wow, reading from all the posts several of ya are closing in on your surgery dates, thats soooooo I know just a few months away and I'll be right there with ya!!!! Well anyway, just wanted to drop a line quick and say "hi" Hope ya'll have good meetings tonight and tomorrow night. God Bless Ya's Andrew

It was a lazy monday here in Sedalia. We got a much needed rain, I took most of the day off of work as it was a slow day. I came home around 11:00 and took a nap, it seems like I never have energy and just wanna sleep all the time. Hopefully all that will disappear when and "IF" I get to have this surgery. I called and talked to Dena today at Dr. Hornbostles office, I haven't seen her for 21 years when she was the pianist at my high school. I told her how amazing she looks, she lost a lot of weight! The last time I saw her was 21 years ago like I said, and she looks younger now than she did before. I notice that in a lot of the before/after photos how young they look after in compairison to their before photo. I can't wait to have an After

Hi Jan; It's Monday blues for me, but just having one of those days. I always see that you take the time to make the obesity sight apart of your daily routine and always seem cheerful along with a few others as i read down your colum. I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful input and care. I find it very comforting to listen to your words as I read them. Thank you. Tressia Clark
