Monday WLS express
Good Morning Riders and Chosen Family!
What a wonderful day! Hey, I still have my hubby with me and if that isn't enough to start me in a more positive direction, I don't know what is!!! Thanks for all the prayers and chicken swingin! Didn't have a chance to get on here, but I know most of you are on FaceBook and I tried to update there.
I think this was the proverbial "wake-up call" that Bill may have needed. I know I have seen a huge difference in attitude since Thursday when all this happened! It scared the Bujeebers out of us both! He is going to have to be more religious about taking his meds as they did find that his Aorta was very dilated when they did the CT scan on him. That means his BP has to remain in control or it could tear and he would bleed to death! I know from what I wistnessed on Thursday that he is not ready for that to happen anytime soon and neither am I!!!!!!
So positive it is and even though I know I will have Negative Nellie moments, I'm gonna try so hard to quash them and choke Nellie out!!! I want to renew my relationship with Bill and enjoy all that life has to offer us!!!!
Saying prayers for all those in need, both spoken and unspoken! Big gigantic hugs to all my family!

"Livin' Large, But Not Morbidly Obese!"
Wow - where was this cold air when we were hunting this weekend?! This really makes it feels like hunting weather.
King got his first buck yesterday. Didn't quite drop him like a rock, but he didn't give much of a fight and I was able to track him down in the woods (NSV!!) Drop it off at the processor in Early and were on the road home by 9:30am. The processor guy cut the antlers off and sent them home with us. It's nothing that fabulous to have mounted, but King wanted them from his first buck. So they are in the backyard to "dry" ... apparently the neighborhood feral cat(s) decided they'd like to help them "dry" about 3am and I had to go out and run them off and rescue the antlers. Looked like they were headed over the fence with them! LOL
Week two of unemployment is shaping up to be a busy one. Need to get the necessary job searches done, try and get the rest of the cruise wardrobe ready. I need to get out my capri's and try them on since I've lost more weight since July. I absolutely have to get King on board for shopping one night this week or he'll be sitting around the ship in his boxers, and that won't be pretty!
Hoping all goes well for Dana today and all her problems are resolved with her surgery!
Cheers!

Good morning everyone,
I woke up with a headache yesterday but it seems to be better today. So much for weaning off the Topamax the rest of the way. Doesn't help that we had a big front come through yesterday which is a big trigger for me. I felt bad cuz Matt had to clean the garage all by himself. Well, not to bad, I hate cleaning the garage. I leave in ONE WEEK to head to Chicago to see my boy graduate from bootcamp. I'm so excited. He made his final call on Saturday, which I almost missed. He called the ex and then tried me again and I was clutching the phone then. He had a weigh in and is up to 111 lbs. He gained 5 lbs. Woohoo. That's huge for him.
I'm going to have to run to the store today. We are out of Milkbones so the dogs aren't very happy this morning. My dad started the ritual, considers it the morning toothbrush. Now my dogs expect it and I'm out.
Saying prayers for all of you. Have a great day everyone.
Morning
I'm in a really good mood today, which surprising since its that time of the month. It must because hubby finely comes home on Saturday, he has been gone pretty much since Aug. He has been home like only 2 weeks of that time. Today I'm going to call the plastic surgeon and set my Jan date, I could have it in Dec but then Target wouldn't be very happy with me lol.
Everyone have a great day and try to stay warm

Grrr....still a bit on the crabby side this morning. Last night I went to SBUX and got my big ol' Venti cups refilled with their wonderful black tea. I always get one extra to put in the fridge so the first thing I get when I wake up is my SBUX tea without having to leave the house. I put that one in the fridge, put my other one on the center island in the kitchen. (can you tell where this is going???) Hubby (aka King Klutz) knocks it over because he was acting like a dork. I'm watching from half way across the room as he body slams my cup into the side of the island (his hands were holding a to-go box that he was using to load up to take for his lunch today), which results in the cup slamming into the electrical outlet face plate, breaking it in two places, the cup hitting the floor, lid popping off, TEA GOING EVERYWHERE. I just wanted to CRY right there. 
INSTANT SILENCE. My middle daughter watched the whole thing and afterwards was like, "mom, I can't believe he didn't even say he was sorry as that was TOTALLY his fault". I said, "you are right, but if I even remotely mention that, his comment will be, "the tea shouldn't have been on the island". I pouted the remainder of the evening! He did ask, although in a VERY sarcastic way, at 9:55, "do you want me to go get you another tea"? I just looked at him as I knew he was saying it being a smart a$$ and said, "no, that's ok, easy come, easy go, it's only MONEY"! He's an accountant so HATES to waste even a penny! Now I know where my oldest gets her "nothing is my fault" attitude!!! Grrrr!!!!!!!!
For all you cold drink SBUX fans....TOMORROW Starbucks will bring out their holiday collection of the grande and venti sized double insulated cups with a candy cane striped straw! Supposedly each store should get about 24 of them. I will be getting a couple to replace the couple BROKEN ones I have got! Those double insulated cups are AMAZING!!!! Virtually non-sweating and it really keeps drinks cold for a long time! I think the 3-4 stores that I go to all the time, the managers have said, "come early, they will not last long"!!! When they came out in the summer, most stores had them like two HOURS!!! YIKES!!!
