So i thought that i would get on here today.That way i can continue to do the things i need to get done ...Yesterday I started cleaning the house and kept getting stopped . either byh the phone or someone in the neighborhood...but i got a lot accomplished any way....cleaned the bedroom from top to bottom,  love my tall ceili,ngs until i try to clean the cobwebs down . Even cleaned and straightened the closet and sock and underwear drawers...so Joe has lots of new rags and we have gotten rid of a lot of things we dont need or what eve. , ususally take all left over clothes to the goodwill or some such place but a lot of this wasnt any good for any thing .., just old t shirts and stuff like that. .

Im having a problem of snacking lately....will be ok for several days and then one day it will just hit me and i snack likke ton and want to eat anything.  so far havent gain any weight from it but i know i will if it keeps it up

Oh was meaning to tell all of you , Last week i got a phone call fr Vesta....do some of you remember her from here....anyway she called me and told me  her husband had passed away...dont remember if i told you all this or not???

Well coffee is ready going to make me a protein coffee and get busy working....got the tree put together last night and part of the lights on. will get the rest of them on and the other things on ...
funny how something so pretty can take so long to do. lol 

will try to get on here later today and see what you all are doing with your long vacation   day....

Shelly~We all need support, I lost my husband a little over a month after I had surgery, we were together 35 years and I get where you made some bad choices. I had quit smoking for 4 years and since I couldn't choose food, I chose cigarettes. The surgery was a gift from God, and I have been able to go on with my life. That said, it hasn't been easy. I'm six+ months out now and going through some very difficult changes, the temptations are sometimes really hard, but I am so grateful that I had my surgery, and will never be angry that I can no longer eat. Hang in there and post on this board all you need to, there are a lot of good people here, we have all gone through some kind of difficulty, and some of us are good at "TOUGH LOVE", and the Love part will be behind what ever advice is given.

I have learned to surrender my problems to God, even when I don't think I am worthy of his Love and help he sends me the strength through his Spirit to get through what ever comes my way.

You can PM me if you like. Would like to hear from you.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!  I baked a ham that I got from QVC.  I don't usually buy their food items because they are too pricey, but this Smithfield ham was a good deal.  It's delicious.  I've got Corn Pudding in the slow cooker and a fruit salad chilling to take to Barbie's this evening.  No other cooking for me this day.  Sunday we're going to my niece's for dinner and I'm taking dessert.  One will be made with Splenda.

I've enjoyed my week and haven't done much.  I did make a quilt for the little girl I adopted at church.  I've read and knitted a lot. 

Greg is still here and is wanting to stay.  Barbara will not be happy.  She wants him home with her.  He went to AA twice this week and likes the group.  Thank you God!!!  He plans to go again Monday.  Tuesday evening he has a court date so can't go.  He wants to find a job even if it's part time and find some place to volunteer.

Want to wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving ....hope you all have a wonderful time.  dont know if there is anyone else working today but i am....sometimes i feel like the only person in the world that works on Holidays and week ends.

I think i am doing all of my Christmas shopping online this year....i can get the things i want at Black
Friday prices now without having to get out in the cold and rain and running everywhere. I have done the early bird shopping before and it is lots of fun but i dont feel like getting up that early tomorrow on my day off. lol so will instead sit inside and let my fingers do my walking ....as always i am having a hard time thinking of something really good for Joe...
I told him what i wanted and so now have a new camera and printer lol ...didnt want to wait till Christmas to get them lol

Well im going to get off here and go and make Joe a Pecan pie for his dinner tonight ...i told him the only thing is i dont want it sitting around so that i try to nibble on it. i know those nibbles turn into bites and bites turn into a whole piece of pie before you know it. and that stuff is deadly lol sure is good but so not what i want to put into my body....

How much rain did you all get last night? it is still raining here off and on.....big hard downpours.. Joe woke up when i went to bed last night and said is that the wind blowing that hard and i told him no that is nothing but rain coming down. on our metal roof it was really really loud....

Have a great day today what ever you are doing and will check in with you all when i get back home tonight....

Jeanie how long will you have  to go to school. i meant to ask you that last week and forgot....i hope that being on the road will be as much enjoyment as you are thinking it will be.   Wishing you the very very best. I think you deserve it ...
