WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY

Well we are still in Texas, will leave here tomorow around noon sometime and go to Colfax ,La for the weekend and then home on Monday.  I am hoping to see two of my grandsons today that live down here in Houston, I have been calling and there is a message machine on and they havent returned my call so i dont know if they are not home or just not returning my call. They are 18 and 20 so it is possible they just dont have time i guess. Sure hope i get to see them before leaving here at least for a few minutes.  Yesterday was a great day. Sunny and 65 degrees but windy Went shopping and found some really good bargains and some cute things.  Today other than trying to get hold of the g=kids will be spent relaxing and not doing much.  My sister teaches aerobics classes at a gym a few days a week and i have been going with her to them , cant keep up but i try lol. She is in great physical shape . At least she has given me a lot of pointers to help build my muscles back up some.  I thnk i am beginning to be ready to get back home, Dont know why with it still being winter but i guess i have been gone long enough to really miss my little house, my dog and my grandbabies up there.  TAMMY: glad you survived the wind and stuff, have you gotten snow ?   Wanted to tell you i love your new picture, you are such a pretty pretty girl and you are looking great.  Tell Janet in your next conversation with her that i love her and wish she could use Mikes computer to at least post once in a while and let us all know how she is doing.  TRACI: whew sounds like your family has been all under the weather but sure glad it looks like the tide has turned for you now.  I know your new support group will be great.  CONNIE: You sound like you are doing great with your weight loss. Cant wait to see you at the next meeting.  Did it snow in Springfield yesterday?  DEBBIE: so glad that you are doing better and not in pain anymore. Things can happen after this surgery that no one thinks about ,cant it? Everyone should be aware that pain should be checked out, not that all pain is caused by the surgery but check it out anyway.  Well who won the B-ball game? I know you all had fun watching it anyway.  NUTTI: that is great that you have found a job and are working and like it. Makes you appreciate work some better doesnt it after all this time off because you couldnt work.  Hope all is going well with you and would love to see you at a meeting in Springfield again.  BELANNA: So glad that everything is going well with you, weight, boyfriend, divorce, and work.  What is your job, do you travel a lot?  Would be great to see you in Springfield sometime soon.  Really be carefull with meats since they are such a dense protein, especially beef , to me it just gets biggere and bigger the more i chew it lol  CHIPSTER: great to hear from you and thanks for the well wishes.  Hope all is going well for you .  Well I am going to get off here and go back to bed for a little while and wait for all the others to get up I think. Well maybe not my brother in law just got up lol. So will go get dressed i guess instead.  Love and hugs to all and God Bless.

Morning everyone! Snow is coming to southern portions of MO later today/tonight and tomorrow morning.  Are ya'll ready?!!  I'm just expecting my kiddos will be off school tomorrow, so I'm heading out to the grocery store this morning to prepare for the traditional storm French Toast Party (ya know, when you go before a storm to buy eggs, bread and milk - I guess everyone is having French Toast parties ) and get my weekly grocery shopping done today. Jan:  I too would be ready to be back home.  You've been gone a while!  I'm a homebody anyway and not much for travelling.  I'd miss my dogs and my daily routine too much.  I'm not sure how I'll handle going to Branson for a whole week when we go the end of June.  This is the first time we'll be doing this.  The kids are excited though.  Well,  time to get the kids up and ready for school.  Have a great day everyone!!

I hope everyone is feeling better today it has been a rough week for some, but it will get better. you all are in my prayers, love ya all....vesta

Hey OH Board, No, Jan it didn't snow yesterday , but it sure is today. We have about 5 plus inches coming starting about 2pm. I too have done shopping yesterday for the snow and I even bought my 8 year old the snow boots and snow pants cuz he loves to get out in the snow and play.The big kids do to ,but they're too cool to wear heavy coats and all the trimmings. I remember when I was too cool to wear coats too. Silly isn't it ? I'm at 200 lbs. today, so 1 more pound !!! Then 65 lbs. to go. Praise God ,but this has been an easy road for me as far as the eating and getting fluids in. As soon as I got it figured out ( a schedule ) it's been fine. I love the "hunt" for sugar free this and sugar free that. I so wish everyone could have it easy. Don't get me wrong I've had a few problems ,but nothing serious. LANA: So glad to hear from you. Glad to hear you'll be getting that sling off soon.We've sure missed you on here.As we have Jan and Janet.I'm looking forward to our next meeting. Well , I'm gonna get to the gym before the snow falls.Everyone be safe and I'm praying for Bev and the ones who are having surgeries soon. Take care and God bless. Connie

Jan, First I have to say I love you guys and gals.  You make me feel like family. My housemates Mother passed last week and this week we have been dealing with the wake and funeral and then in the middle of her Mother's funeral they annoucnce her Uncle Jim passed.  It's been a sad week.  They both fought cancer, her lung and him pancreus(sic).  She was unexpected and he has suffered for 2 years.  So we are both exhausted. My job.  I am PC Support for ADP the Payroll Company, in other words I am a Help Desk Tech.  The cool thing about my job is I work remotely from home, for the PennJersey Region.  Which is where I worked before I moved here.  I telecommute.  I have worked for them for 22 years.  Great company and fantastic benefits.  I work on EST, so I work 8-4:30 here.  It's a great job and I love my boss.

I am being very carful with meats.  I love soups, cheese and carnation instant breakfast drink (sugar free of course!). Hope you are all having fun!

Jan: Wow, 65 degree weather sounds great to me!  Glad to hear you're having a good time and find lots of bargains.  Kansas State WON the game last night agains Kansas University.  First time in over 25 years so it was GREAT!!   I think Bev came home yesterday.  She told me Dr. H had released her.  I tried calling her a couple times on her cell phone, left one voice message.  Hopefully, she'll feel like joining us again soon. I have been up since around 6am.  I actually made chili and have it in the crockpot.  My oldest son, Luke, told me last night he missed my cooking.  It has been a week since I last cooked anything.  I decided chili would be easy and good for a snowy evening.  I am feeling better.  Right now I am really tired.  Will slow down for the rest of today and this evening.  I go back to see Dr. H next Tuesday.  Hope everyone is having a good Thursday and remember, be safe out there! Love, Debbie D.

Happy Birthday Jan my Angel hope u have many more to come
