WHATS HAPPENING SUNDAY
Oh my lord , I slept till almost 10 am this morning ...and to top it all off I was in bed by 9pm last night. I must have been worn out. Joe got up at five this morning and went to the duck blind with Barney, our friend . you should see this duck blind. You talk about red neck duck blind lol ,....is a floating ramp with wall , roof and shooting porch, inside they have sofas and reg gas cook stove, gas heaters and they go out and cook breakfast out there and then sit out on the shooting porch and wait for the ducks to come in lol
I should have had Joe to take a picture of it. Lol I have laughed my head off . I can just imagine it.....this guy is typital Cajun...funny guy. Tell tales oh wow....
Joe is on his way to Alexandra to have a tire put on the bike right now...Barney rides too so they are off riding to the bike shop but it is too cool for me right now to even think of riding.... Monday when we are suppose to go to
Have done much of nothing today except talk to Susie and talk about flowers, she is a plant nut too . that is how we met talking about flowers.
They have this beautiful old LA house. Close to the levee of the red river. . she has lots of flowers , camellias and lots of other southern flowers all around the house . several big magnolia trees. I would love to come down here in the late spring when things are all in bloom so I could see how things grow and look here I know it is beautiful.
Well Sugar want you to know that I am trying to eat more and not depend on my protein shakes so much. I still am doing my morning one with my coffee but that is the only one I am doing , I feel so stuffed and puffy that I don’t know how I can possible get another bite in my mouth.
ANDREW::::: sounds like you are doing great in running the green house. If you have to turn the third heater on be sure and plug it into the ceiling , instead of the wall if you have all three of them into the wall they will throw a breaker....anyway thank you so very much for caring for the plants.
Oh you know what the juice alone might be too much but mixed with the protein probably has something to do with the fact that it didn’t bother you....something about protein and carbs , seems like I remember that if you are eating one you need to have the other so it doesn’t make you sick....????? anyone remember that?
If it does get down to 17 as a high yeah you may have to leave the heaters on all day long lol that is cold brrrrrrrrrr.
Love you discussions about the bible , I just don’t have time to get in on those but wanted to share a thought with all of you, and any one that grows things can understand this with me. That being up on the mountain tops is wonderful and beautiful ,but it is only in the valleys that we really grow. Nothing grows on the mountain tops above the tree line. It is down in the valley that we learn to florish and grow strong and healthy...that is where the fertilizer and the rich dirt is. Even tho sometimes the valleys feel like they are a hard place to be it is where we learn and grow as a Christian.... so when you get into a valley don’t be upset just know that God is teaching you something and he is with you there all the time.
SUGAR:::::: yes I remember Mc Neeleys and his routine lol was silly , weren’t there little boy the one that said he was ba a tise in the kittens that time? he was so cute. I guess he is a grown kid by now....
The wedding you are doing for the girl sounds really pretty.
I am continuing to read the bible daily but just don’t have a lot of time to get in with the discussions will when we get home...but I am keeping up with the reading.
KAREN:::: LOL yeah I sort of agree and disagree with the concept of eating vs the protein shakes. I know that I have horrible stomach aches if I eat more than one meal a day but then I also know that I need more calories than I get with three protein shakes a day. I love my protein shakes too. I think they taste really good . but I am trying to add more high protein food to my diet all the time and get in more calories that way too. if after trying to eat supper and I cant I will make a protein shake but I do try to eat if I can.
There is just so much meat that I cant stand. And that is so funny cause before surgery I was a big meat eater but now it most of the time tastes fatty tasting . dark and heavy to me....but I guess this surgery is a continual learning process. Take it one day at a time.
SUSAN::::::well hang on girly because after you have the surgery you almost do shed weight as fast as you can shed clothes , certainly as fast as you can find new clothes to fit you to wear lol
Well at least maybe you can take things in to fit you with your new sewing machine. That will help you a lot ...then when you get down to the size you want to be you can make you some new clothes.
POOH BEAR::::::it takes a lot of learning it seems to finally learn to lean on the Lord and quit taking the reins back over to ourselves. So many of us want to say , ok Lord I think I can handle it from here and can do it myself and so he lets us until we have made such a mess of it and we holler back Lord Lord Help Me and he is always there to help pick us back up and stand us up and then we go thru the same thing again and again. I guess it is age that finally we realize what he has been trying to teach us ( not age physical kind , ) but age spiritually age that we finally realize the lesson. Once we realize that we cant do anything without him holding our hand and don’t turn loose, do we grow and mature . so keep holding on girl he wont let go , if anyone lets go it will be you ...you have some great Christians on here to help you if you ask
KAREN;;;;amen and amen
KAREN C:::::: hi sweetie didn’t know you knew about us in MO> lol yeah sure im coming to Washington right now....would love to travel that way late spring but don’t thing right now is the time to do it do you?
I will send pictures when I get time to lol you know how it is on vacation. Cant wait t see you again sometime.
SUSIE:::::: I bet on that beautiful hill you are on when it snows it is a beautiful site. You need to take pictures out that one window looking down that hillside. Christmas card....
Congradulations on making it to onderland....that is great. You are doing wonderful and seems like just yesterday that you were saying that you hadn’t lost anything. Hmmmmmm wonder what happened ? lol keep up the good work ...lol I have to laugh about your machine telling you are obese...i think it is awfully rude don’t you?
PEGGY:::::::wish you were here too. although it isn’t hot weather down here at least it isn’t 17 lol or snowing. Or icy or any of those words like that. It was 59 here today but cloudy by the time I got up they said it was really sunny before that but I didn’t see it lol
Well when I get back home you can come and clean my house if you don’t have enough to do since yours will be spit shined by then lol
JANET:::::: oh my , you know I am praying that you get to go see your doctor this Tuesday, I hope that you will be a candidate for the stimulator. It sounds like it will work we are going to pray that it will and that will help you live life without so much pain.
I know that nauseated feeling is almost worse than the pain in itself ...when I tell someone that the pain feels like that they think I am weird but it does feel like the bones are nauseated .that burning hurt that feels like nausea...hard t explain unless someone has it and knows what you are talking about.
Take care of yourself and know that I am praying for you , as I know others are too. you will get up there to see your doctor on Tuesday .....Tuesday Tuesday that is the day...... please cling to the Lords hand as tightly as you can and hopefully that will take you thru to then. Love you sweetie like so many of us do ....cant wait to see what she will tell you about this . have you researched all of it and gotten stuff printed out to ask her about it and all?

I know stress is affecting me. I started to look at my plate and noticed I am putting more on it than I should. I got lazy and stopped measuring my food. I think I am eating too much. I can eat more than I should be eating. I ate a cup of yogurt this morning. It was watery because I add protein powder and sugar free syrup so its drinkable. I also ate three slices of bacon. I am afraid I am eating way to much for two months out. That may be why I lose slow. I have been so focused on getting all my protein in I stopped measuring. Am I eating to much at one time? I know I can eat a cup or more at one time. Should I be worried? I rarely eat carbs. My diet is mostly protein,only ate bread twice, no starches since I overate mashed potatos at three weeks out.No fruits yet,not a bic fan of them.I do eat some veggies. I think I am gonna call the nut and get an appointment.
I did see a few flakes yesterday but they were small and didn't last long. I keep hoping for a big snow. Just one, I don't need a blizzard just about six inches. Then I want spring back.HAHA.
I wish I never knew I could eat pork skins, I can eat them with no problem and once chewed they take up no space in my pouch. I curse pork skins they are the devil. I know my stress level is causing me to want to munch but how do I stop it?I do not want to mess up and stop losing.
Its funny cause I can eat snack type foods just fine no problems (such as pork rinds which are full of protein and good for you. nuts, sunflower seeds etc but when it comes to sitting down and eating a meal it bothers me and I can't do it very well. It seems I can eat yogurt, cottage cheese, chile, cheese etc fine also..so that is basically my diet. sometimes I worry about it but when I get on and see what other people are eating it is like what I eat so it seems normal. What ever normal is..lol
My new thing is I am tired all the time. This started about 2 weeks ago. I am taking all my vitamins and b complex plus b 12 but I seem to be worn out all the time. I hope it is just my body catching up..will ask about it at my appt in feb..I have to have labs drawn before then so that may tell me something..
Also I am having pain under my left rib area. Has anyone had that. I bent over to put my sock on and felt a very sharp pain in that area. Its been there for a couple of weeks now. pain level comes and goes. some days worse than others. hope it is a pulled muscle. hurts to take a deep breath or if I move wrong. Always something.
Jan I hope you are having a blast. That is so much fun to travel around but I don't know if I would like to be on the back of a bike or trike in the dead of winter. lol..
Well gonna get off here for now..hope everyone has a great day..
Hello, Hope everyone is okay. Sis when are you moving on to Kathy's? The cajun duck blind sounds like a real hoot!
Well Friday we found out at the Sr lunch that the prospective pastor said yes and he would be letting us know when he was going to move, then today at church they announced that on Saturday he sent an email that he had changed his mind and isnt coming after all! WHAT?? Oh my goodness! Well, Ive just decided that God has something wonderful in store for our church so we will just have to wait on HIS timing...God's timing is always perfect right?
Anyway there are alot of dissappointed people right now but when God wants us to have a new pastor it will happen.
I too sis am doing the bible study but didnt post yesterday and probably wont today. When I also have to prepare my ss lesson it is too hard to do both. Anyway I will get back at it and post again tomorrow...God is so good and is still talking to me thru it.
Yes Tyler McNeely is the kat baptizer! lol He was so funny. But how could he be anything but with a mama and daddy like he has. Yes he is grown and out of high school.
How long are you staying out on the little run to Az? Will you be home by the end of Feb or March or what??
Well all, I hope everyone is fine as frog hair...God bless you all!
GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR 
Please send prayers as I finally heard from Stephanie as she emailed me telling me she has skin cancer and will be getting treatment a a naval hospital. I don't know any details yet as what kind or stage etc... but I am so scared. We have gone thru this with Dad and am praying it is not Melanoma.
I am doing ok otherwise. Have started taking B6 25 mg. and it may take up to a month before I can tell if that is working.
We went over to Canton on the Mississippi river to see the Eagles today and some were so big they could carry off a big dog from the looks of them.
Stay safe and stay warm...
Sandy
