***Super Saturday Roll Call***
Good Morning PA and Everyone,
It is the weekend, and for many of us it's a three day weekend.
I am up, and heading to pick up my nephew to take him to work at WalMart. He pushed the shopping carts at the one by Neshaminy Mall. Then, I am heading to work at the hospital for today. After that, I am hoping to get my butt to an AA meeting.
I hope everyone has a terrific day.
My prayers are with Lisa H as she grieves her father's passing.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good Morning PA,
Today I will be continuing to sip and walk. Not sure if Gene will join me for my walk today or not we'll see. I am still working on the second phase of this the full liquids. On Monday I will be starting the pureed stage.
Later this morning we are going out to look at cars. I had my mind set on the Camaro, until I sat in it. Very unsafe vehicle for me. I'm short and I had to sit right up on the steering wheel to see out the windshield. I loved my old Camaro, but looks like there will not be one in my future. So today we'll be looking at a Mustang, Rav 4, and some other vehicles.
That should give me a good bit of walking about the car dealers
That's my exciting day. Up early again today can't seem to be able to sleep much past 6am these days.
Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Good Morning PA,
I was suppose to run the Tea Burner 5K with my niece this morning but I don't feel well enough to run. So, instead we are going to my other niece's soccer game and then to a fall festival. Should be a fun and relaxing kind of day. Then I am coming home. If my damn port doesn't stop burning I might remove it myself and save Dr. Brader the trouble.
Lisa - thinking of you and your family.
Liz and company... have a great time today!!

Good Morning Trish, PA peeps,
Prayers to Lisa H and her family as they go through the grieving process
and prayers for the other Lisa an her little angel and family for Hailey to soon be released home.
I'm up showered, coffee pot on and in a short while Tony will be here and then we are headed to the soccer field to meet up with my son and his family to watch my almost 4 yo grandson play soccer, it should be fun and this will be Tony's first time meeting them, that should be interesting seeing as my son thinks he is my dad these days (lol). . . but I think Tony shall pass the test with flying colors. After that Tony and I will probably head to lunch, hang out some and then he has to go up to the port for work and I will go find something additional to gift my grandson tomorrow at his party, I already got him these cool remote cars that I saw on HSN a few months ago, figured he and his sister (dad & mom) can have fun with those, then this evening is my women's AA meeting. . .
Well folks have a great day, hope everyone attending Liz' has a wonderful time, I'll be looking for the recipes.
Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning to my wonderful support system
I am up early so I can go with my sister and my step mom and cousin over to the funeral home to make the arrangements. This is a business transaction so I will be ok. There will be nobody there saying nice things about my dad and how much he'll be missed and all those things that people always say when you are grieving.
After that, the family will talk about what we need to pick up for the luncheon we will have after the internment. We are going to have it at the synagogue instead of back at my place because there is much more room there. So, the first shiva service will also be at the synagogue.
Then, my sister will head back home to Delaware for a few days to take care of a few things she needs to do at home. She will come back Monday night and stay with me until shiva is over on Thursday night/ Friday morning.
This afternoon, I MAY still head to Liz's. I'm not sure yet. I'll see how I feel. You guys are my support system and that is what I need. It will depend on what family comes in today and what not.
Siehara has an overnight play date tonight. I left it up to her if she still wanted to have it and she does, so that will be good for her. I am not sure what I will do at that point because the original reason for the playdate was for me to go to karaoke. I am definitely not going to do that. Maybe I'll drive up to my dad's house and be with family. That's probably what I'll do.
Today will be ok. Every day will get easier, especially once we get past the funeral.
Thank you all again and again for all your support during this time.

Lisa,
If you are going to Liz's I will see you there. I hope everything goes well today and I am so sorry for your loss.
Liz,
Hubby is at class...and 19 year old not home...thank goodness I had a plan B....see this is how I never get to make it to the cooking class. He will be home around noon then I'll grab his GPS, meet my friend then we will be on our way. After your house we are going to HomeGoods. I LOVE that place and there are none here in Reading.
I'm drinking my coffee and watching cartoons with the little ones. I was hoping to sleep in today but of course the only days I CAN sleep in is Mon-Fri when I CAN'T...if you know what I mean. My eyes were wide open at 6am and the kids woke up at 7am. Oh well...at least they are being good....so far.
Have a great weekend and I will finally get to meet some of you today at Liz's.

Morning! I finally slept well last night. I was in a just horrible mood early in the evening so I finally just said F it and went to bed around 9:30. I was not fit to be around humans, LOL
Today once hubby leaves the house (He's leaving earlier than me...him and a friend are going over Liz's house to continue working on their new patio) I am gonna go in to hyper speed and attempt to decorate most of the inside of the house for Halloween. He doesn't know I'm doing this and we've never done much for the holiday, even though it's his favorite, so I hope he likes what I do.
After that it will be headed to Wegmans for a few quick items and then over to Liz's for a great afternoon. Probably won't be there till about one or two depending on how fast I get up the Halloween stuff.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
