The NIGH****CHMAN - Sunday 7/19
Got some of the stuff done for Mary this weekend. Went to bed a 2AM this morning. Woke up at 7 or so to get ready for church. Not gonna happen. I was so sore. All my joints ached. Seemed like flu symptoms. Took some Tylenol Arthritis (the first OTC medicine I have taken since my surgery in Dec 2007). Fell better now.
Prayer requests are listed below.
Also, please feel free to just visit here. Tell us about how your day went. Your successes. Your failures. Your fun. Whatever. When I post this thread, I do not have access to any chat programs, so this sometimes substitute as that vessel for me.
Continue to keep your thoughts and prayers for the members of our Armed Forces serving around the world, especially during this time of increased awareness. Please thank God for these men and women every day. In addition, please keep the wives and family members in your thoughts.

NO _ I AM NOT A LITTLE RED.........I AM A LOT RED......
Came in from swimming yesterday afternoon......James and I ended up heading out to Grapevine Mills Mall - walked around the complete mall to kill 2 hours of sleep.............I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT FOOD AT THIS TIME.....BUT WITH HIM........WE TEBD TO DO THAT....
WE hit every candy store in the mall........HE BOUGHT - I LOOKED AND WELL - NONE OF ITO LOOKED GOOD TO ME - SO THAT WAS AGOOD THING. We continued to walk around the mall - and hit the Chocolate fudge Factory - something like that and the SMELL of the chocolate just made me sick.............I WANT FOOD...............NOT SWEET STUFF !! LOL That is a good thing - for me at least..... We continued further on around to the mall and by this time - we had about 30 min left to get to the movie "UP" IT WAS GOOD......OKAY GOOD !!
After movie - went to Cozymels and ate...............cheese dip is really too rich for me.......I lost most of my dinner - but I really felt well then.

Just stopping by for a sec - need to get to bed as I have to be at the eye doctor by 10:15 so need to get up at a decent hour. Usually sleep in until 10:30 so need to get some sleep if I have to be up earlier!
Well, another record low weekend (temperature wise) up here. Saturday was just NUTS with it being in the low 60's and damp with rain. Sunday wasn't as bad. I think it actually got up in the low 70's and the wind wasn't blowing and thankfully NO RAIN! YIPPEE!!! We do have a chance for rain almost every day this week though and the temps should rebound back to the lower to mid 80's. I know I'll be back there in that disgusting heat soon enough though so even though it has been chilly up here, I'm enjoying it for another couple of weeks!
Alright, better hang it up for the night. Don't work too hard....
