WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY
Had a busy day and another beautiful sunny day with only a sweater on great day, I hate to brag to you all about the beautiful , day it was....got to 65 again. no wind ...lovely day.
\My sister and I went shopping on at the dollar store today. I got several little things that I needed and they had for 1.00 as my grandson from down here told me years ago that he wanted to go to the REAL DOLLAR STORE. Lol
We drove into
Don’t know if we are planning on going to leave for
Wow I think I will keep my mouth shut about you all not posting. Lol
Way to go everyone ....i love it.
BARB S.:::::::::::glad to hear that Baby will get her cast off. That is good.....I hope your dizzy spells stop soon.....be careful. Are you driving yet?
Deb Pooh:::::::: yeah that amount of protein is right for us but the reason that her doctor wants Janet on more is due to the fact the protein makes bones strong and her bones arnt strong....most of it would go to help that....
JANET::::::I hope Darrell didn’t freeze waiting on the bus this morning. Glad he has a place to wait when it is bad.
Don’t we all know how Renee must be struggling with not getting the money they needed...tell her I am praying for her and all those problems...
Also praying for Meg to get them a place to live before the baby comes. Is it a place close to you?
Have you called and made the appointments for your new test or were they doing that for you?
No Rue 21 is really a store that mainly caters to Junior sizes but I found some things that fit this overstuffed cushion I carry around my middle. Lol oh but I have lost 4 pounds since we have been gone
Yes I heard from Glenna and she couldn’t do the meeting so I ask Andy to do it since I knew you were still hurting too bad ....ok ? I hope you get to go , try real hard I will tell Sugar to give you and extra hug from me ok?
Oh yeah too much protein will hurt the liver but evidently yours isn’t being used like it should be so again listen to your doctor and see what she says. Proteins main use to to build bones, nails, hair and skin...so if you are having problems with any of those sometimes more protein than normal will help those problems you more than likely will have to find some ways to get some more protein powder in different forms....ask Peggy for her protein soufflé recipes....they are great and they are a good treat.
SUSIE;;;;;;;; wow that cold huh?????lol
SUGAR:::::: not sure the route we are coming back but will have to come back on highway 10 out of Tucson the same way we went out cause it is winter time and cant go thru mountain of New Mexico in the north because of possible winter storms....too big of a chance. ...
How old is Ember now????? Sugar and I were trying to figure it out is she 13 or 14? My goodness I cant imagine her being that old.
She is a precious girl I know ...
Oh I bet the room will sure be pretty....cant wait to see it....when we get back we will have to watch the weather report and come up and take a couple of days and do your flower bed...ok....if we can get a couple of 60 degree days with no wind and with sun...lol
SUSAN::::: brrr that is too cold to be outside at all. Hope you stayed warm....I tried to mail you some warm weather but I couldn’t get it packaged up right, it kept escaping. Lol
PEGGY ;;;;;;;sure wish you would have been here with us. Was lots of fun....and you could have had a good shopping day for sure. I know I am going to take all of your advice about mailing stuff. I have my eye on something that there is no way to haul it on the bike we are packed to the top now.
POOH BEAR;;;;;;;oh wow I love junk stores too. im not a big fan of the fancy stores but junk stores you can find some really good stuff....
Your right about most babies having jaundice ....some all it takes is laying under a light for a little while and others they have to give some meds to but it usually not too much...
RENEE:::::: im so sorry that your heart is heavy... I know it has to hurt and im praying for you to be able to accept what ever life pitches to you. Maybe Janet will let you share her little one, I know it wont be the same but maybe you can get a little help with the loving ....I know my grandbabies were strung all over the country when they were little and I didn’t get to see them but about once a year...that is hard but I did handle it wasn’t easy and I never had the relationship with mine like other people had with their grandbabies. It is hard long distance. ...but I got thru it. And now I have 2 of my 3 great grandbabies ,near me now....so I have a chance to play with them pretty often....God knows the pain and desires of your heart ....we will all pray that something happens that you can be able to see the baby more than you think you will. Love you and hope you feel better soon.
LANA;;;;;;;;;;YIPPEE HEY GUYS LOOK WHO IS HERE YEA!!!!!!i am so glad to see you back online with us. We have missed you a whole lot .....
Yeah those carbs are boogers when they get hold of you.....when I get to eating too many of them I do about 3 days worth of nothing but protein drinks and nothing else. Sort of cleans the system for me...and gets to not wanting them as much, doesn’t completely get the want tos gone but gets it manageable for me anyway...
What happened to your office walking? I guess it Is like mine it is too cold to do any of that. I have found a new love , just wish I had a place to do it with a group at my home. But you should be able to find a class...ZUMBA oh wow it is fun....especially to a dancer or rather and ex dancer lol
We are so glad that you are back and I know everyone will be glad to see you at the next support meeting, I wont be there but hope you are ....love you girl...
‘
BEC:::::: I sure miss emailing you and everyone else that I normally do daily but I have been running and doing so much that I have lost some weight since we have been gone...
Want you to know that I love you and hope it warms up some there. You should see my warm boots I bought to wear on the bike when it is cold ....suede with fur inside and big enough to put on a big pair of socks with them lol they are warm for sure.
Well im getting off here so I can go pack the suitcases up and get things gathered so we can maybe get out of here by 9 or 10 in the morning.....love all of you and hope we will be past San Antonio tomorrow night....
LOVE AND HUGS
GOD BLESS

Good Morning...
Not a lot going on here today... have some paper work that needs attention so I will work on that and piddle around here after I get my morning routine finished...
I have been using my Gazelle since it has been so cold out and it sure is using "other" muscles... ouch! But I know it is good for me... I should use it at least a couple times a week even if I can get outside.... keep these old bones shaken up ~ha
Mimi ~ glad you found the warm boots... my feet have been freezing since this weather is so frigid... but I have to admit they have not been as bad over all as they was last year... I'm thankful for that. Say congrats on the weight lost I know you are thrilled about that! I'm happy for you!
Glad to hear Misty B made it home safe and sound. Praying she does well.
Also thinking and praying for Tammy~Ammy as she has so much on her plate right now.

I am staying in today and most likely will do nothing. I need to go thru my closet again and thin it out. I get frustrated in the mornings pulling out stuff that I really shouldn't wear anymore.I have a few things that fit but matching up outfits is getting hard. I am trying really hard not to buy or at least spend alot on clothes but I have to dress decent for work. Everytime I buy something I can wear now I get something that is still too small. I figure a time will come when I will fit into it and need it. I can afford to do it at thrift stores. The sadest thing is I have stuff I have never worn that is now too big. I suppose I should learn a lesson from that.
I am really enjoying being away from the tax office this year. I worked as many as 16 hours a day during tax seasons in the past. I think six years was enough for me. I tend to totally change ocupations every five or six years. I get bored and want to try something new. I have been lucky that I am able to do this. I would really like to go back to school and learn something in the medical field. I am not sure how DH will react to the idea of school. He has been resistant in the past. Our youngest is still going, he is in grad school. I think DH would like to not have school bills for awhile.For now I am happy substituting in the classroom. I am getting to know a lot of the kids. They have been noticing my weight and telling me. When I first started subbing some of the elementary kids asked me if I was going to have a baby. That hit a nerve but at least I will never have anyone make that mistake again.
Dh is feeling better,he still has tests to be done and we are waiting on results. Everything is looking ok. Nothing that can't be controlled. The only major issue is the lung thing and we have to just keep an eye on it to see if it grows.I have decided not to panic because they have scared us before and it turned out to be nothing. He is hoping to have the stomach surgery for the reflux. He would have RNY if they would let him. He doesn't weigh enough. He even said he might pay for it if it fixed his diabetes.I don't see that ever happening.No one would do it.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow @ 2.
Good morning Sis and all,
What a morning...lets all be grateful we werent on that plane that ditched into the Hudson river...can you imagine how cold they were? WOW!! And praise the LORD, no one died or was even injured.
Ember is 13 and just the most precious teen you would ever want to meet. Shes beautiful inside and out. We have a little running to do today but she said she would like to just stay inside today...it is sooooooooooo cold and snowing too!
Hey Janet, my goodness girl, you werent really getting enough protien anyway....we need at least 60-80 depending where you are in your loss and your current weight. So eat up! Find ways to sneak extra in to everything you eat or drink...and count every gram...if you like nuts put them in alot of stuff...melt cheese on top of everything..there are ways to get it...you can do it!
Bec, maybe we need a girls day of visiting somewhere...all together. Are you going to try to come to the cof this month? Where along the way between all of us is their a town with alot of flea markets/antique stores???? That might be a fun meeting spot...let me know if you know of something.
Renee, my heart bleeds for you but like Jan said, you will get thru it.
Cor, I would like to find a job that they said just come in whenever you want...a couple days a month might suit me just fine. lol What will you be doing?
Hugs to all and love ya bunches....
GOD is my ROCK! SUGAR
Wow it is so cold. Can't wait till spring arrives.
I got out paper and pen last night and drew out our garden plans , Can't wait to get started. I want a rhubarb patch, But the thought of haveing to fertilize it with cow patties kinda grosses me out LOL.
Called and made appt with child physcologist in Columbia yesterday,For Nikki Poor Child has so much going on in her head and she is so angry, And it is only getting worse. I really don't want her on drugs but if it will help her ,I guess i'll have to accept it. Have i mentioned i can not stand her womb mother. She gave her her christmas present and spelled her name totally wrong. It is spelled Nicholle and her mother spelled it Nicole, How in the hell do you forget how to spell your childs Name. THat woman gets under my skin sooooooooo bad .I just wanna rip her head off and crap down her windpipe.Better stop now before i call her some names that are not very pretty.
Laura is moving so now i'll be here alone to walk and go through my journey, But guess its all in God's plan for me. But i'm still angry.
Baby Hunter came home yesterday, And Nikki is such a proud Aunt, She got to hold him and her eyes just lit up and sparkled so much. He goes back this morning so they can check his jaundice level and his poor lil winkie from his cir****ion yesterday, Poor baby.
He is eating good ,real good matter of fact LOL.
Jan i know they want Janet to get in more protein but i just wanted her to know that anything over 80 grams is really hard on our kidneys.
Thank you all for the lovely comments about hunter, Hope you all have a blessed day filled with good health and happiness.
Love and Hugs Deb
I fixed liver & onions for supper last night and had the left overs tonight with my homemade baked beans. It was as good if not better than last night.
I need to get more splenda and splenda brown sugar blend and doggie treats tomorrow but I am not going to venture out unless I have to. I am on call for the hospital tomorrow from 6am to 2pm. I have to do that once a month. If I don't get called in at least I am making a bit of money anyway.
Jan - keep on having fun and stay safe! Everyone else - have a great weekend!
Hugs - sandy
