WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY
Good morning everyone....im in a better mood this morning since i dont have to go to work today . I sound lazy dont I ??? just getting very tired of working and not getting to do anything i like to do. After i get all the insurance paid for this year and taxes paid for the year i am going to quit i think ....i told Joe it is no longer fun ...at least quit till next year sometime or the other. Will see. I know i will have to take a long leave to be able to spend the winter in AZ anyway ...Hope to be able to leave like the next day or so after Christmas . would go before but since George is here and Michele. and they both enjoy Christmas last year so much with the family i want to do it again...George said it was so much fun and didnt know why his Grandma and Grandpa in Tex had never done it. He said it was like after he and Patrick got about 12 they just quit and would give them some money and say Merry Christmas and that was it.
Well it is suppose to be 100 again today the only thing that might make it feel less is the fact that it is suppose to be cloudy today....wi**** would rain...we could use more ...when it is so hot like it has been then it could rain at least every other day as far as the plants go. I have a beautiful second crop of green beans all blooming really good. hopefully i will get to put more of them up in the freezer with this crop...i have two rows of them planted ...the last ones i had only about 5 plants and we ate them a lot and gave some away to the neighbor and still put up some in the freezer. but would like lots more of them. Most people love green beans and they taste just about as good frozen as they do fresh...George said he always thought green beans tasted nasty until he ate my fresh ones , he said those things out of cans from stores dont taste nothing like that. lol by cooking fresh veggies for him i have gotten him to change his mind about veggies and is eating a lot of them ....so he isnt just eating meat and potatoes...and bread.
Well cant stay too long this morning , i need to get outside and get started on a couple of things before it gets too hot. I have meds to call into pharmacy for refills and need to call Joes doctor to get him sit up with more shots for his back. wish we could afford them for my back ....even with medicare and the insurance we have too it still leaves a couple of hundred we have to come up with for each shot every time. ..cant get ahead for falling behind lol
whoops i need to get the trash out to the curb this morning , they will be here in about 30 minutes. got to go love you all you all that posted yesterday i posted after you while ago....sorry i didnt get to it last night was just too too tired

Some areas close to us got rain last night but we didn't. Another 100 degree day today.
Jan, I used to love green beans but not so much since WLS. Growing up I never had green beans from a can. My mother canned many quarts every summer. She froze some when we first got a freezer but we didn't like them. I still don't like them. It's the only frozen vegetable I won't eat. I hope to get some fresh beans this weekend.
I got a recipe for a Yellow Squash casserole I want to try. The Black-Eyed Pea restaurant had a Yellow Squash dish I loved. I got the recipe and it was loaded with fat and sugar so I used less fat and Splenda and it tasted really good.
Someone on the BE board wrote about the fact that after 2 years RNY patients no longer have the malabsorption problem so that's why a lot of people gain weight. I thought we always would have that problem. If that's the case, why do we need to take certain vitamins and protein supplements? Just wondering if you agree with that.
My son and his girlfriend met with her mother last night to go over their budget. Her mother had agreed to help them financially until he gets back to work. His short term disability payments aren't very much. Barb was in the hospital twice for a week and had no sick leave so no pay. Greg was really dreading meeting with her. He feels badly that he spent money on alcohol and now his pay is reduced. But, it turned out Barb has 13 credit cards, all pretty much maxxed out. The CC payments come out of her checking account and are over $900 a month so she hasn't been able to pay the house payment. Her mother told her she should never have kept Greg in the dark about the finances and she better get her head on straight and change her ways.
Try to keep cool!!

Hey Jan and All,
My oldest grandson Shayne had his tonsils and adnoids out yesterday. So I'm down here by St Lo at thier house. he's doin ok. Turns out his tonsils were very very large due to a birth defect. and he never has been able to breath thru his nose and has had a speach problem. This should fix both.
Have to go home today tho cuz my husbands oldest brother and his wife and his Mom are coming to our house for the weekend. Will be there sometime Fri. He's so excited,this is the first time since we moved to MO. that any of his family has come to visit.So I need to get home and make sure the house is up to the MIL coming!LOL
You guys all talk about eating all the fresh veggies out of the garden,that's something I have never liked.That's one of my biggest diet problems, don't like many veggies.I like tomatoes,carrots(raw),celery and broccoli(raw). that's about all.Don't even reqally like green beans out of the can but I will force myself to eat them once in a while.LOL
Ok gotta go. Got to get stuff packed up and get on the road. It's about a three hour drive. Then gotta do some grocery shopping when I get home. Can't have company come and not have anything for them to eat.LOL. Take care all, Love, Tammy
