Good morning Liz!  Just the regular old grind for me today: work and then maybe teaching my homebound student.  She's been in the hospital for a week so if she isn't out I may just have to go there to teach her.
Ben got home last night to study for finals in a quiet house instead of a noisy dorm.  He'll go back Sunday because he has finals next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Prayers for all who need them.

Have a great Wednesday!

Karla

Good morning Train Riders!!  I'm a bit sleepy this morning, but am hoping that it will pass once I start being productive.  Had a great day yesterday, worked in the morning then went out with co-workers for a team building event.  Even had a couple of not quite wow, but happy moments.  First we went to Cici's Pizza, which I have been avoiding even though Jeff loves it.  Not much in the way of low carb stuff there.  However...  They can make crustless pizzas on request!  You tell them what toppings you want, they put them in a tin to go container and cook it.  Very yummy and extremely WLS friendly!  Woohoo, Jeff is happy, Cici's is back on our list of ok restaurants. 

After lunch we headed over to Main Event for bowling.  I used to be on a league with my ex, many many moons ago, never was really good but I did enjoy it.  Needless to say after 3 knee surgeries and being 500lbs I hadn't bowled in a long time.  Well, yesterday I bowled 4 games in 2 hours.  Granted by number 4 I was seriously considering laying down and taking a nap right there, but I didn't hurt myself at all and I bowled for 2 hours!!  Woohoo!

Today looks like it's going to be a very busy day.  I've got to catch up on what I missed yesterday, and I just got my new HP laptop that I have to set up and configure.  I now have two laptops for work, thank goodness my desk is big enough for three computers.  It's kind of a crazy solution, but we have one laptop to connect to the HP network and one to connect to the Bank of America network.  Apparently the IT security people can't play nicely together so we get to juggle two machines to do our work.  Should be interesting getting used to.

Jeff has just under one week left of school this semester and quite a bit of stuff to do.  Say some prayers for him that this week isn't too stressful.  I'm going to be helping him out with putting together his final presentation and the goal is to fini**** up this weekend.  The good news is he'll have a couple of months off before next semester and he just started taking Paxil, so maybe next semester will be a little bit less stressful over all.

Ok, time to get productive.  I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

I haven't been on the train for weeks but thought I'd jump on today.  Miss Gina's making me feel guilty for staying away for so long.  As most of you know from FB, I started a locket/charm business and place my first order today.  Already have orders for 11 lockets and tons of charms.  I know I'm certainly not gonna retire from this but hopefully will make a few extra bucks.  I contacted OH about getting a booth at the conference in November so hopefully I'll be a vendor there and get to meet a lot of you that I don't already know. 

Weight is still great.  I'm almost 3 years out and I'm within ONE pound of my all-time low.  I love that I only weigh once every 2 weeks now.  My scale obsession has finally ended and I now have incorporated what I've learned into my new life.

Better get after those dishes and laundry~obviously my maid overslept.

Hey You Guys!
Crazy morning here in hicksville. I accidentally deposited a check into the wrong bank. This morning I got online and figured it out. On my way to work I stopped at the bank that I deposited it into and then tried to deposit it into the RIGHT bank. Turns out that the right bank's computers are down and they can't do any transactions for the moment. They won't be online until later today. So small town! lol

I stopped at the feed store where I bought Zoey and got her food that they sell and sure enough she ate ALL that was in her bowl. Last night Bailey was walking around with her and her salt wheel. She'd put the salt wheel up to Zoey and her little tongue would just go right back in her mouth but as soon as she'd move it away Zoey would start licking Bailey's hand. It's the craziest thing ever! We have a rabbit that loves to lick!

Still don't know much about the scholarship but the frame with the certificate says its worth a minimum of $1000. Pretty cool!

Gotta get some work done!
Love you guys!
Tracey

OOH! something I actually know something about! 

As long as it's a 2-4 seat ski, pretty much anyone within reason could ride one. I can't speak for standups, as I don't have the upper body strength to ride one personally.

I rode a 3 seat Seadoo GTX DI with a passenger at 260-270 lbs with no problem.

As far as purchasing one (attn Disney Princesses!) , I'd find a nice used one a couple of years old or an older cheap one. that way you're not out much if you decide that it's not going to work for your needs. PM me or email me via facebook and I may have a lead for you on some used ones, as a buddy of mine has a repair shop. Stay AWAY from Sea Doo as they run great until you have a problem, then they suck. I'd recommend Kawasaki or Yamaha.

Morning everyone! Not much for me today except I am thinking that the wrong person went home on DWTS (no joke I do watch it, no not 100% proud of that). I'm also getting the courage up to ask the volunteer coordinator why I was just lowered in volunteer hours. I have been here a year and always done 9 hours twice a week. As some know this was not easy for me at the 1st but now is no problem. She told me at the beginning that she would look for someone to take over at noon, however now that I've done it for a year I don't need that take over. However now she has brought someone in at noon thinking she was 'helping' me. Now yes on one hand I see the 'help' on the other hand I liked seeing that I volunteered 400+ hours last year and don't want to be doing any less now. I know stupid thoughts rushing through my head but geesh. I promise I will hush now.

As for Alissa's question, I don't really look forward to much in the summer time. Even though I have always lived in Texas I have never particuraly liked the heat of the summer. But I've always been an inside kind of a person so I am in love with A/C.

Hmm not a postive post...nono I'm happy today, just things rushing through head.

Have a great day everyone!
