****Saturday Roll Call****

Good Morning Peeps,
I have been under the weather since returning to work.  My ear does a daily thing of killing me about 1:00 pm.  Something to do with healing, swelling sinuses and pressure.  I just know I want to die a slow death when it happens.  Give me childbirth without anasthesia, and root canal, but don't give me ear pain.  

Saturday has me running to north Jersey for an appointment with the poor sucker who does therapy with me.  He is going to have his hands full this week, because I have not been there in three weeks due to the surgery.

This weekend I must get my grades done for school, so I am going to be busy computing those things.  I also need to make a pot of chili for a cook-off at my church on Sunday.

I hope everyone has a super blessed weekend.

Hugs,
Trish

Good morning!

((((((((((((((Trish)))))))))))))))))) It has to get better!

Today finds me sitting at the computer wearing a pair of size 16 jeans that are now too big!  Last night I went to buy a pink shirt to add to my collection.  I grabbed a 2x & a 1X and my hubby said no.  You will wear it one week and you will realise its too big.  He grabbed a large and said dont try it on.  Just buy it.  I was disapointed.  I wanted to wear it to work today.  Thinking I would be stretching the hell out of it.. I tried it on.  Wouldnt you know... It fit!  I'm not in a plus size shirt!  I might even be ready to try on size 14 jeans!  It's going to be a GOOD day!

I work from 5AM to 1:30PM today.  I'll be in receiving most of the day and playing with the vendors.  Bunch of nice guys that like to tease me.

Hope you all have a great day!

Last night we went to the Crit for Fish Fry and got charged $410 by mistake (new guy).  So he voided it out but it showed up in our account.  So, this morning we go do battle with the bank.  Run some errands.  Get the rest of the wood floor in downstairs and that's about it.

AWESOME DIANE!!! 

I went to the thrift store right before surgery and picked up a couple of dressier items that are smaller than I wear so I have something to wear for synagogue.  I didn't try anything on, and still haven't so I don't know if they will fit or not.  I spent $25 on 2 shirts, 2 skirts, and 2 pairs of nice pants, so if I never get to wear them, so be it.  It was nice just picking up stuff that I thought MIGHT fit as I shrink.

  Since I work from home and am not ready to go back anyway, I will deal with "too big" clothes.  Sweats are my best friend right now since they are not tight on my belly.

Lisa,

It's cool you bought smaller stuff.  I do have a suggestion though.  I have had what I call "missed clothing oppertunities".  I had stuff that when I first put them on were too small.  I kept saying. I'll try later.  When later came and I put them on.....they were too big.  So I ended up not wearing them.  Check your clothes often.    You dont want to miss out wearing something you bought or a favorite smaller shirt.

Its about 6 am and Im so tired!! We ended up in the ER last night with Lola. We were in the mall getting kam his suit for the wedding and all of a sudden she started screaming in pain. Screaming her ear hurt. She has tubes in both ears. I started to get worried about her. She kept screaming no matter what we did. Gave her motrin and it didnt help. she has a low grade fever but has been up and down all night long!! 430 this morning she starts screaming again. We are now on anitbotics, drops and we are piggy backing motrin tylenol to help with the pain and fever.

Liz- If you read this I probably wont be able to make it :( Im sorry. Kelley and I really wanted to come but I dont wanna leave her with my parents. Plus my dad has a sinus infection and im sure two sickies in the house would not be a good thing for nanny to deal with! We all know how men can be when there sick ( sorry guys!)

So today will probably be a laid back day for us. Im starting to feel either really tired or im getting something too.  Hope everyone has a better day than we did night here !!

Sweetie - totally understand!! Take care of that poor little girl! Hope she is feeling better soon!

Good Morning Trish & PA!

Dillinger woke me up at 5:15, think he thought I was supposed to be up for work.  So when I got back inside, I put up a pot of coffee and we are here in the computer room, Dillinger in his spot on the pull out sofa and me in my chair at the computer. 

Last night I stopped at the custard stand and bought him a child's cup of vanilla custard and their skinny stuff for me, also child size, when I first moved down here, I was told that our town had the best custard stand and it was open all year long, I guess I was here a couple of months and one night I took Dillinger for a car ride and we stopped at the stand, where I bought him his own cup, well everyone made a circle around him watching him lick the cup clean, it was very amusing and so a few times a year it is a very special treat I give him and last night as I was coming home from my woman's AA meeting I passed it and thought, yeah, let's give the boy a treat!  He was sooo happy, then he and I laid on the couch enjoying a moment of being with one another while I talked with a friend I made here on OH who lives in Pittsburgh.

Well I'm up and enjoying my coffee, took my vites and after I finish on the boards here, I will take a shower and get dressed as Tony is coming down today to spend time with me and Dillinger, sometimes I think Tony likes the dog more than me (lol).   This afternoon I will be going with my DIL to meet up with my son at the airport and welcome him home for good, then I will be having dinner at my friend Barb's house and chairing her anniversary meeting tonight, so the early part of the day is devoted to my boy and the evening will be social, which is something I really need as I've been housebound with my boy for the last week.  Tomorrow I have no plans other than to spend the day with my boy, though perhaps I will go spend a little time with my son and the grands.

Well folks, have a wonderful Saturday and sending prayers, positive thoughts and hugs your way, Laureen

GM Trish and Pa!  It's a bit brisk out there for the type of weather we had yesterday, no?

Anyway today has me dressing both me and Brian for the memorial service - we should be leaving here somewhere between 8:30 and 9.  And I had a bit of an awkward moment regarding getting dressed.  I pieced together an outfit I had (I don't have many "formal" clothes) including a blazer I had bought at petit sophisticate when Shannon posted about the one store closing.  Is it wrong for me to say I look DAMN good in an outfit I'm wearing to a memorial service?  I don't care if it is.  I do.  The blazer is fitted - something I've never been able to "pull off" before because who wants to show case a round pot belly?  I'm gonna try to convince Brian to take a picture of me in the outfit.  But it's weird asking that - hey - we're going to your Aunt's memorial service but could you take a picture?

Then it will be back to this part of the woods - hopefully being able to stop at Liz's house and enjoy all the wonderful company.  It's been a little while since I've gotten to see everyone and I could use the socialization.

Then it will be home to change into my "party" outfit (I am wearing the oriental dress I wore for my going away party - the same one in my avatar - because it's Brian's favorite outfit on me and he is, afterall, the birthday boy today, so the least I can do is wear a dress he loves to see me in)  I'm excited about that - because I like to get all "womaned up" as I call it once in awhile.

After our "costume changes" we'll be headed out for his big birthday surprise dinner at a favorite restaurant of his.  Ironically enough it is in jersey not far from where the memorial service will be - but anyone's house we would normally hang out in in that area is going to the party - and would have to leave before we did - so how would I kill the time in between them leaving their house and us getting to the restaurant AFTER them??  That is why we are coming home first.  It will be a lot of back and forth and driving - but well worth it to hopefully see a smile on his face tonight.

Have a wonderful day, all.  I'm gonna go get dressed in my "I look good for this memorial service outfit" LOL

I haven't really been able to keep up with Roll Call in quite some time, but I was able to read today and Pam, you really had me laughing :)  I'm paraphrasing here but..."hey, we're going to your Aunt's memorial service, but could you take a picture because let's be honest, I look DAMN good in this outfit!" hehehe -- not at all wrong to think this or say it Pam -- the cir****tances are just funny and the way you worded it was hilarious ;)   Sounds like you have a very busy day and evening.  Hope the day turns out ok, and I hope the surprise birthday dinner is a lot of fun tonight -- I'm sure it will be and I know Brian will smile a while lot when he sees you in that awesome dress!  What kind of food is his favorite restaurant anyway?!

Lisa :)
