Thursday WLS Express - Chooooo Chooooo

uhuhuhuhuh (clearing throat)....you did mean Tawnya and not Tanya.  Right?  jk  you know I had to yank your chain.  No one else is awake enough for mne to pick on this early in the morning.  lol 

I missed you guys, too!!! 

I hope to see some of you next week at support group...Wednesday 630pm at my house.  Details are posted on the group's board and I'll send out a reminder on Monday. 

Gotta run.  I have a meeting at the office today so I have to actually get out of my PJs before lunch time and put on business atire.  I haven't worn anything but PJs, workout clothes and my swimsuit for months.  I may not remember how to put on heels.  lol

TAWNYA.. Yes, of course I meant you... Do you know I have 5 TONYA'S in my phone. It is a miracle I don't spell their names wrong and call them up wrong..
Gaye it is nice to see you on facebook.
Becky, good job on the scale thing.
I hope Paige is feeling no pain this morning. :)
Alyssa are you back into the routine of things since your family left?
Dani have you planned your next trip back? Is the one where you said you are coming back in September? Is that for us/conference?? 

im working hard on it KB! you have no idea how i wanna be here with my peeps.. yall spoil me lol.  Im heading to katy on friday to take care of  more things, then back on sunday... Love ya girl!

wow... the Jodie Blonde running the train!  How cool.   Seems she didn't take driving lessons from The King. 

Today is Friday Eve and i'm praying a bit less challenging at work than yesterday.  I had good backup with my National Sales guy, but it's still frustrating. Wasn't feeling the best, so that didn't help.

Scale is cooperating a bit and for that I am grateful.  Just gonna keep at it until I feel comfortable . 

Not much else going on.  Want you all to know, especially those peeps feeling like a failure.. please please know, whatEVER you have done to get healthier is SUCCESS.. you still have friends who love you no matter what. 

Okay, time to run out the doore.  Prayers to all in need and blessings to the rest.  Special thoughts for Lynnette and her new job, Cruise director Julie in her interviews this week, Paige in her surgery healing, and for those that I haven't seen post this week and are lurking..  come out and tell us what is hurting..we are here!

Good Morning Jodie and the rest of my TMB Family,

How nice to see a fresh beautiful face driving the train this morning.  Dont worry Jodie it takes a little getting used to but I have faith you can do it.  Its a nice cool morning here and I should get out and walk but it has been so long since I walked and I just dont seem to have the energy to do it.  So for now I will sit here drink my coffee and continue to wake up.  Eric is still sleeping and Mark has gone to work so it is quiet just the way I like it.  I am little worried about Eric.  He is not eating much these days.  Cant help but wonder if it is the ADHD medication he is on.  I may need to call the doctor.  It also could just be a spurt he is going through.  Any thoughts?  Not to much on the agenda for today.  Going to get Erics friend Christian (my 2nd son) this morning so he can spend the night, and then they are both going to his house tomorrow night.  Mark and I are going to formal dinner.  Still not sure what I am going to wear.  I have my formal dress that we just had altered but with the way the weather has been (HOT) I am not sure but I would die in that dress.  Just cause it has a ton of lace underneath and is kind of heavy material.  Oh well.  Eric is up and wants to eat so I better feed him while he is hungry.  Prayers for all in need.  Love you guys.  Michelle

Jodie....you look very fetching in that striped conductors hat! 

I'm up way earlier than normal, too excited to stay in bed any longer. In fact I didn't go to bed until after 2am...just couldn't turn my brain off. I'm seeing the Ins. Coordinator today to see what else I need to do before send everything in for approval. I'm pretty sure I'm finished with the testing but there's probably something niggly that still need to be done. I've got 63 days until the OH thing in Dallas. I just don't see how I can get the surgery and be recovered enough to drive 5-6 hours and all the activity that'll go on there. So more than likely I'll wait until after the conference.  LOL...as if I may even have a choice! I keep seeing Dr. Garth's name as a speaker on ads for conferences all over. I'll be at the mercy of his danged schedule!

I'll keep ya posted!

We WILL figure out how to get you there!!!!  You have to be in Dallas in September.....you just HAVE TO!!!

Good luck today and tell Garth I said HI!!

Good morning all,

Thursday.  Almost to the weekend.  Woohoo.  Yesterday was much better in my animal household.  Clifford the cat is adjusting to H dog and spent more time out of the closet. Mollie seems to have been put in her place a bit by H dog's outburst and was in a pretty good mood last night.  She was prancing down the hall, play with her toys, just in a general good mood.  I think they are all enjoying the nice weather.  None of them were very happy that I had one of my headaches and went to bed early though.  That meant they all had to go to bed early.  Such is life. 

Making plans to go dress shopping on Saturday.  ugh.  I'm trying to keep an open mind.  I have plenty of opinions coming along so that should help. 

Saying prayers for all of you.  Have a great day everyone.

Good morning Train Riders!  Jeff starts his job search in earnest today.  He filled out a bunch of applications for PT jobs yesterday, and signed up with TWC again.  We're not counting on unemployment, so he's going to try to find something PT till he gets a real job.  Today he's going to a Career builder job fair, and hoping that it's better than the last one he went to.  Tomorrow he's attending a computer forensics webinar and I'm hoping he might get some leads on companies to look at for jobs in that field.

After work we're going over to Jeff's parents house to hang out and have dinner with his aunt and cousin.  Should be a nice evening of visiting.  Not much else going on, my arthritis is acting up so I'm achy and not feeling great, but it will pass so I'm not fussing over it. 

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Debbi

Good morning.  Glad to see you driving Jodie...don't run us off the tracks!  I know you're glad you get to stay home for a while. 

Prayers for Dana's sisters surgery today.   Prayers for Paige as she recovers from her surgery.

Today I have to clean the inside of fridge out...a once a year project for me.  I hate doing it, but have to.  I have to get paint off kitchen cabinet knobs that I got on it.  Ben's painting the outside of the back door and hopefully that will wrap up our renovation projects.  I'm tired of being a home renovation person.  I want to be an off in the summer girl again.  I have 2 more weeks of vacation left. 

On Saturday August 1st some of us are going to Win Star casino north of Dallas if anyone wants to go or meet us there.  I know Steph and Clay are going.  I'm taking Ben for his 18th birthday and hopefully a college friend of his.  Any takers?  We will have lunch or dinner w/ Lynnette.  It should be fun.  I can't wait!

Tomorrow Ben and I will go to The Woodlands or to College Station for an outing.  He wants to look for a TV for his dorm room.  He finally had contact w/ his roommate, who is from Liberty Hill near Austin/Georgetown.  The boy played sports, so Ben is happy.

Our Livingston Football player who is playing at Texas A & M this fall, Dustin Harris was the star of the All Star Football game at the TX HS coaches conference.  He got defensive MVP.  I was so proud watching him play.  I have 2 tickets to the first home Aggie game, so I can't wait to see him.  I hope the Aggies let him play that day.  I know his parents are so proud...I need to text his dad and congratulate them.

Have a great Thursday.
