****Sunday Roll Call***

Hi all. We came home from Williamsburg a day early. I was just not feeling well and decided it would be better to be home in my own bed. Still have no voice, it seems to be freaking jason out a bit. I need to be careful and get it back, my whole job is talking. Going to try and get the tree up today and then relax. The cats seem to be pretty happy we are home.

It's been quite  a while since I posted.  Life has been so busy and full.
Thanksgiving was very nice a lot easier than I thought it would be...I
am about 5-6 months out.  72 pounds down.
I still have trouble wrapping my head around it some days, but I feel fantastic.

I hopw you all had a nice thanksgiving!

Good Morning Trish & PA:

Today Gene and I are heading to the thrift store. I need some long warm workout pants, Gene needs some belts.

Then home to maybe make my sweet potatoe pie, been thinking of making it this long weekend just have not had the energy to make the crust.

Also need to do some reading for my class that starts tomorrow night.

Hope everyone has a great day....

Okay Ida I just tried to PM you what Thrift store do you go to? I see you live in Phila. Share the wealth.

Linda,
2nd Avenue up by the Franklin Mills Mall. I got 6 pairs of work out (gym) pants for the gym, 1 cute denim shirt, and a pair of dress pants for Gene it all came to $10.00.

The cheapest I could find the gym pants in the regular stores was $12.99 a pair so I'm really happy with my purchases.

Oh I've been there try the Goodwill stores there's one in Bensalem and one in Warminster/Warrington on Street Road and they are ok. Then there is one called Bryn Athyn which is off of Tomlinson Rd not a whole lot of clothes but its a hit or miss and some of the things are really neat. Someone told me Goodwill up in Lancaster is awesome but I went to the Morgantown one on saturday and eh so so one day I will make a day of going to Lancaster which is further up I guess.  I love the thrift shops.

Thanks, when I need some more clothes I'll have to check them out. From going through this with Gene I know not to go crazy buying clothes and I'm still shopping in all my clothes that I have stored upstairs from 3 years ago. It's amazing that I am now in my fat clothes from 2006, and now they are my thinner clothes....

I just realized that we live not far at all from each other and you mentioned that Gene sees clients on wednesday nites so why don't you touch base with me and I can swing on by and come get you? Its not a problem at all. I can't pm you so maybe if you want you can me and I can give you my phone numbers.

Thank you. That would be nice to have someone to ride to the support group with. I've sent you a friend request that way we will be able to PM each other.

Good morning Trish and PA today has me glad to have my house back as Heather had a whole gaggle of girls over from thurs-sat and I was so glad to see them go.  Not that I mind but I want my house back! I took tydenol pm and it threw me for a loop and I felt really sleepy in the am and hung over.  I take Lunesta3 and it works great.  Today I was up early trying to figure out how the heck I had so much laundry to do I swear that its the rabbit breeding syndrome! I can't believe so much clothes gets worn.  I am going to take my flannel lined jeans for a "test ride" today I so hate the cold weather!  I am still waiting to get cardio clearance for my shoulder surgery so I may as well keep riding just not galloping all over the world since once I have my surgery I won't be able to ride for awhile.  I have actually gotten caught up on my ironing as of last night.  Yes you heard me right I still iron I like the crisp look you get from doing that.  I grew up as an ironer. New word.  No I don't do my sheets and underwear.  So I am grabbing Heather and taking her to breakfast and going riding today and stopping by Walmart later on.  I swear if I didn't go to Walmart at least twice a week they would send out a scouting party with a limo for me. Everyone have a great day.
