WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY
Dreary day…sort of cool too. …Had my hair cut and colored today, and Joe got his cut too.
After wards went to Nixa and met up with Sugar for a few minutes and ate lunch. Well Joe and I sort of ate around on our lunch…I couldn’t eat much and Joe didn’t eat much. I think the pain he is in is affecting him, He hasn’t been eating a lot here at the house either. Do you think the not eating much is contagious. Lol
After lunch we went to get a what arch that was advertised on Craigs list. In good shape…will be very pretty , now to just decide where to put it. Darn. Need more of them lol
My granddaughter that lives in
Also told her to write down colors she likes and if she knows of some flowers write them down and if she doesn’t know will go to one of the big nurserys over there and we will walk all around and she can write down what she likes. Lol
She said and from all of that you can design something? Can pretty well. I wish I could afford one of the new 3 d landscaping softwares….when I got my first computer I bought one but it sure wasn’t user friendly. And wasn’t real looking eithere.
I want one that you can put in a picture of the house and then measurements of the yard and where the big trees are ,fences, sidewalks, etc etc. you get the picture. Anyway you can design it and then see it from all angles is super but those cost an arm and a leg and maybe one of the other one too. Lol
Cant afford it that I know so will just have to draw it out on paper….how boreing.
Time consuming too.
Cause you want to draw a couple of blueprints so they will have a choice.
Well watched biggest loser , dancing with the stars and NCIS tonight. Nothing else on due to the political debates.
Well im coming up blank about what to write so will get off here . We need new phones but have a little over a week till we needed
Joe and I both are needing new phone but we cant get the cheaper ones that are on sale till the 20th of Oct that is when our program dies out. Just doesn’t seem right if you have a program that you are using that you cant buy the special phones any time and not have to wait till it is time.
Hey does anyone out therer know….i know that I can have them transfer all my number I have in my old phone to my new phone on a computer but can I have ALSO them all transferred to Joes phone???? Or will they be gone completely off the old phone when we download them to my new phone.
Oh I got a couple of emails today from different people about my theory about protein and the mal absorbtion,,,,said it wasn’t right according to their dietitian…like I said it is my theory and that is all theirs is too. I have talked to so many different ones at least 15 or 20 and each one has a different idea about it. , So I will just go on my assumption it works for me. And continue to do like I have been doing all along. Lol not trying to make any one else do what I do, or not anymore , I just put my ideas out there , and you are welcome to put yours on here too. ….or your dietitian or doctors or anything.
BARBARA S:::::: well you got lots of attention,,,lol with the male belly dancers. Lol
Cant believe you didn’t take a picture. Girl you losing your grip.
I always wanted to learn to knit or crochet butcould never sit still long enough.
Usually a lot of busy work and cant sit still that long.
SUZIE:::::: see both the girls are doing great, no need to worry….Janet is up there with Renee and Lou…so they will be fine. She will watch over them for sure.
SUGAR::::: thanks for praying for Michele,,,,,she needs all she can get. She is really trying.
She said that she has decided that she is going to be happy. Not going to let this life like this with out it.
I meant to ask you today has Rachele found anyone to pick up the boys yet?
I have been keeping her and the boys in my prayers.
Don’t worry about the messages. Just forget it , it is ok and all is all right .
You looked so cute today. Always so neat and polished , then there is me in my jeans and shirt. And tennis shoes . poor ole me lol I love it, you know I bet if I won a huge big lottery I still would dress the same way .
JEANINE::::::lol so true about guys and cleaning house. Joe does a really good job but not like a woman tho. They forget those little nooks and crannies.
Joe did a lot of it tho for me when I was fat cause I couldn’t do but just a little here and there.
Oh I just know those swollen legs have to hurt don’t they? Wont it be great when you can get enough weight off so your legs might not swell like that ?
Just keep praying for my daughter cause im really convinced that since I ask for help in praying for her that you all have made the difference….sometimes I felt like I my prayers weren’t getting too far. .and she has changed a lot in the last month. so who ever of you has a fast track into heaven with your voice please keep it up. Ok ?
No sorry the trailer isnt very big so don’t think I could even get Lalya or Rianne in there. And they are really really tiny girls.
Maybe one day you and you hubby can get a trike and ride with us . that would be fun .
Hmmm I didn’t see that mask you are talking about , the one I used was the nose pillows one. And it was really comfortable…to me anyway. But yes I do sleep on my side most of the time. Will have to ask for the one you say is good ???? do you know the name of it?
But anyway I loved it and thought it was great.
DEB::::::: sorry you are still having problems ,,,since nothing will stay down except liquids? You might possible have a stricture. That isnt hard to fix it is done in the doctors office and just requires stretching the opening so you can eat something. You need to call your doctor and make an appointment . really. Today.
Take care sweetie. And call your doctor today!!!!!!
DEBBIE D::::::so you think he will really go to Midwestern huh? I thought you didn’t want him too….did you change your mind???
That program they have for the first year college students sounds really neat…
About going overseas for the second semester. Wow.
Lol where did you get that I wont have to have the c-pap machine??? I must have been sleepier than I thought I was. ..no I do have to have it I said that I slept like a baby with it and anything that will let me sleep like that I love for sure.
Will be fun to go shopping with you again.
SHERR:::::: is the sickness you have right now have anything to do with the pain you were talking about ….maybe you need to call and tell them it is an emergency and that you need to see someone ASAP…
Take care of yourself and get well soon. ok?
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BLESS

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY
JAN COOK


Have everyone in my prayers. Hope Andy gets to come home tomorrow. Looking forward to meet up with everyone next month.
I guess we are even, you can't sit still long enough to knit and I don't like to work outside. I get so mad when I baby plants and they die anyway. Seems you never get done either. LOL I have knitted both grandaughters scarfs within the last week and today started a sweater coat for the youngest grandaughter. I will post pictures of it if it turns out. I have never attempted anything that big in knitting before so I am not too confident yet. The yarn she choose is mulicolored and I keep thinking of Dolly Parton's song "The coat of many colors". I told her about the song today and she said "That's why I like the yarn because it has all my favorite colors". Can't argue with that.
Well need to close. Time to go to bed.

Bec.....you are such a BIG HEARTED WOMAN!!!!!!!
You know what sissy, no matter what you wear, your the best sissy around and I love you. If those clothes make you feel like you...that is all that matters and there is absolutely nothing wrong with jeans and a T! It just so happens, I like other things more than jeans and T's....but it doesnt make me any more polished! lol...polished??? ME?? That stuck me as funny. Anyway I wish we lived closer so we could meet once a month at least...Is it about 1/2 way out to that gas station on 65? Do they serve lunch at all? Maybe we could start setting a date to meet there...I think it is about 1/2 way for me from Clever. Anyway think about it!
Chelle has yet to find anyone to watch the boys and I have know idea what she is going to do this next week while Im gone....but I suppose she will figure something out. I keep praying for a particular person down around the school to be revealed to her...anyway, God has a plan.
Michele has the right attitude...she has to detetmine to be happy. So proud of the effort she is making. Is the truck fixed yet? Joe seemed so stressed about that.
Shiela, how sweet of the girls to stop off to help you out. Wish you were closer and we could all pitch in. We sure will be praying for great news at the bone Dr. I wont have a pc while on my trip so I will call sis and get the low down maybe on Monday.
I am hoping to hear some news about the girls ....Lou and Renee and how they are doing today.
Bec, you sounded like you were on cloud 9 from the girls being there with you. Cant wait for my turn some day!
Jeanine, I hate hearing that your legs hurt you so bad. I wish you could come up and go to one of my Sr adult parties...plan a trip sometime! I will let you know and you can come visit. My "JOY" (just older youth) members are the best bunch in the world.
Deb D. did you get my note about figuring out a place for us all to go eat while up there visiting when Bec comes. You know the area so it just makes since. I am praying for your son's decision and that God blesses it and opens all the doors if that is where he is supposed to be. Ive never been to a Super Summer but our kids that come back from them always are so on fire...
Well guys have a great day and may God give you the desires of your heart.
GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR
I wish I knew what the heck was going on inside me as well....LOL...
Everyday is a weird day for me, I guess I am just glad I wake up to find out the new "quirk" each day.
Lips are less swollen today, right cheek is pretty swollen....who KNOWS....
I am unsure if the swelling incident and the stomach issues are related, and as sweet as my 89 year old hometown doctor is, and he is quite GOOD, I don't know if even he could link the two together. I am going to watch it, and if it swells again, get my butt to Columbia's E.R. I just don't have the $$$$ to make two or more trips up there, and as sad as it seems, it's reality.
I love you and appreciate all the kindness you always afford me.
Sherr
I have been depressed for the past few days and I don't know why really? I used to suffer from major depression, was on meds, have been hospitalized for it, went to years of therapy. I haven't taken medication since my wls in Jan. crushing those pills were so nasty just stopped taking them all together felt like I didn't need them. I haven't been to therapy since my surgery and since I moved to Wichita. I have been in contact with my therapist and she wants to do what she calls e-counseling/phone or email so I guess I will do that cause I feel like I am in need of some help. I don't want to start over with another therapist in Wichita it's too hard and besides the one I had in KC was the best and she is a Christian counselor. I'm having problems with feelings of being really fat still, exercising excessively and several times a day, weighing myself several times a day, and not eating in fear of weight regain. The excessive skin I have is making me crazy I just want it gone it really depresses me and I don't know why? I think I need some professional help with this I know how fast things can sprial out of control.
Today I just felt like staying in bed and not getting up but I knew I couldn't do that today. I don't want to get so depressed again like in the past where my bed was where I spent most of my days.
I think I'm on another stall again and it's just crazy making for me. I keep going from 194-196 then back down to 195 then up to 198 and then back down never getting back under 195. It doesn't seem to matter what I do with exercising I can't get under 195.
I'm wanting to have a garage sale this Sat. not sure I can put it all together by then? I have tons of plus size clothing from 1x-4x and I want to sell them so that I can buy me some clothes that fit for winter. I have a friend in Topeka that I took pics of some things her size and emailed them to her she picked what she wanted which was everything I showed her and she is going to send me a check for them and postage. I have a lot of nice things name brand things form Catherines, Dillards, and Lane Bryant some still with tags or hardly worn. So far I have made $100 and that's before my garage sale and I still have tons of things left!
Well, guess I should go I have to go to the school and work at noon so I have to get ready and also get some house work done before I go.
Take care and have a wonderful day.....
How is everyone on this beautiful bright sunshiny COLD morning? BRRRRRRRRR.
Barbara, Bet ya had a great time belly dancers thing, I have always wanted to go see male strippers though, But for some reason Gail dosen't like the idea.


Sugar. Hope your friend is doing better today and that the Lord has gave her some peace and comfort to help her through all she is dealing with. I pray he touches the daughter to help here deal with whatever it is that is making her feel that there is noway out,. No matter how alone we may feel sometimes ,We are never really alone, God is always there if we just reach out to him.I pray that you have comfort and peace today to help you throug this also,
Bec- I bet you were really excited to see the girls yesterday, and they were truely blessed to be able to be with you . Hope your pain is getting better and soon you'll be out shopping for those pigs feet.

Jeanie- Hope your swelling has gone down and you are not hurting as bad. Hopefully soon those swelling days will be a thing of the past.Your in my prayers,
Jan- I am going to call a Dr in Kirksville this morning that Shannon and Natalie both told me about, I have medicade and i is hard to find Drs who accept it, But she has had the bypass and knows what its about ,So she would be really good to have if They will accept my insurance, Still eating soup, But at least it's something, But the kicker is i am only eating soup ,drinking fluids and my weight is going nowhere , matter of fact i've gained 4 lbs? Now how in the world is that even possible, I just ordered a thing of very cherry nectar protein, so hopefully it comes quickly, I know i need the protein to lose the weight but the nectar is only kind i can stand, And i got it pretty cheap. Plus i called an 800 number last night they are sending me free samples . So lets all do a Cherry nectar dance and pray it gets here quick. Or gail will be replacing the window in the bathroom, Because scales will be going out into the yard LOL. WOW fed ex guy just came left me a pkg it had a free bottle of fresh start liquid wild berry protein in it. says 42 gms , guess i can ad it to a 20 oz bottle of water get it realy cold anbd sip on it all day, I love free stuff LOL.
I have 2 containers of lean dessert protein powder if anyone wants them, One is banana pudding flavor ,other is choc coconut candy bar flavor. Both have been opened but only used about 3 times. 20 gms of protein per scoop. If you want them let me know ,send me yur name and address, i'll send em to ya. I mixed them with milk. The banana one is thick when mixed it kinda sets up like pudding.
I ordered Gail's runway lights this morning, So he will be happy lil camper tonight. 30 years of marraige and was together 2 years before that, And I love this man more and more each day. Usually it is if mamas happy everyones happy, but in my case if Gail's happy then i'm happy.
Nikki's i school . so it's me and the poochie pups, Gonna wax the hardwood floors today, Do the walking thing, and pick up a thousand walnuts outtta the yard LOL. Just picked up a bunch last Sunday, But they are really starting to fall now and they are not lawn mower friendly LOL. THe Pecans still aren't falling yet but i'm sure it will be soon. But at least i dont gotta worry about them, The pastors wife is gonna come get a bunch and a neighbor wants some too, And the rest the squirrels can have LOL. I might get enough to make a few pies and a few walnuts to use for fudge, But that'll be it for me LOL.
Janet... Hey there , Hope you are doing ok and that the butt is doing better. Did you get yur butt pillow yet? Renee and Lou are very lucky to have had you with them yesterday, I wish i had of known you when i had mine, I would of made Gail drive down to get you Just so i could of had you with me LOL.
