Tuesday WLS Express

Okay Gina I'll join the reunion!! You are an inspiration to all!! Doing half marathons and all.

OK, JACK-now I may just FAINT!! Honestly-I didnt even really count YOU amongst the lurkers..lol..I almost texted you and David today, to ask y'all to climb aboard (the TRAIN, the TRAIN..stay focused here, brother)--and here you already are-without me having to ask--as always, you can still read my mind!! Hugs to Ginny, and PLEASE post again-you wanna talk INSPIRATION??? Look in the MIRROR!!!

Sounds like plans to me!!! What days will you be here? We need to plan a get-together.

You're coming to our area???!! How exciting! Be sure to let us know the dates so we can plan something! I'd be glad to head it up.

Right here, of course~!!! Had my post all typed up.. hit submit.. and the damn laptop locked up!@!!.. grrr.. well i went to sleep for the night about 615ish.. and woke up about 645 ish lol.  was up, just didnt have the laptop around.. for once lol.  Now you know.. my husband so rarely asks me for anything... so if he asks me to be a cheerleader.. im there!!! Of course there's what.. 13,000 folks signed up for the 1/2 marathon alone.. so how he thinks  he's gonna see me at the finish line i have no idea, but i will be there, posters in hand!!!

Mom left for beaumont late yesterday morning and got home before dark... Sent her with food of course lol.  she was glad i did when she got home as it was heat and eat type stuff so she had good homeade food for dinner and could just chill once she got home.  She will be back here in a few weeks, dropping off her dogs then flying out of DFW to spend christmas with my neices in orlando.

Looking forward to seeing GINA and CORBIN at the finish line on sunday!!!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!

LIZ-I'll be the one on the stretcher, holding up the white flag-you won't be able to miss ME! Corbin will probably be wearing his signature, camo Under Armour again--he loves that stuff-and it DOES make him stick out in a crowd-the leggings look like his legs have total camo tatooing...gruesome

lol oh yes, im quite familiar with the camo under armour lol.  Cant miss it!!!! Its not my favorite of Corbin's outfit.. but he does stand out in a crowd lol. 

LIZ-I'd say he WANTS to stand out in a crowd, but I happen to know he just LOVES that damn camo....period His happiest find to would be to find a pink camo get up-for his his mama-if you see one-do NOT tell him..please

oh trust me, I WONT!! I hate that stuff...i dont wanna be seen with that stuff either lol. Hell next thing i know.. he would want me to wear it too lol

Okay - you all talked me into it !!    I'll be at that finish line too........hopefully NOT on crutches or a stretcher........still waiting to hear from the doc's office today......played telephone tag all day with the nurse - its worse than a case of the "he said, she said" scenarios !! 
I need to know where to go and where to be and when ...........  LIZ,  Gina - wanna chime in here...

I decided to QUIT taking the pain meds and ibuprofen yesterday morning -  7am was my last dose.  I did sleep okay last night.......not too much  pain........  I'm working on more liquids and water today........I'm really swelling -  I feel like a sloshing watermelon when I walk from ankles up to knees.   The calfs of my legs are so HARD - they just plain HURT !!!   No they are NOT warm.  I'm watching that..........I'm making myself get up and walk away from my desk every hour or 1.5 hours to work the stiffness out of the left knee. 

I decided that the weight gain is the reason for me knees hurting.....when I was 220 - 200 I didn't hurt......now I'm 265 again...  one of the many co-morbities has shown back up....DAMN that ****** me off........but I'm to blame..........so far - I cant see that the synvisc cortisone series has helped me at all !!  I was hoping to get some relief from those instead of the other corttisone shots.......this synvisc is suppose to take up to 6-8 weeks for the full effects to be felt and/or can last up to 18 months -  So now I'm just waiting. 

I can't wait to see Danni and the familiy !! How exciting.

I just got called from the Childrens Miracle Network Radiothon that KVIL does every year - last year - I said that I wanted to be down there having fun and helping out where I could.
So - I'll be there on 12-10-11 from 745am - 4pm  -  doing administrative work -  they are NOT having a whole lot of luck finding admin support - doing "data entry" and in what they call gift processing where they enter the data into their computer system.  DUH !!  that is my life -  I told her I'm not opposed to answering phones but asked if there was something else that I could assist in......she came up with that.......I told her that I'm hers all day !!    You all wanna help?  The contact person is  Barbara Heller [email protected]  how fun if we could get several of us together .....can I just say  "party" time...???  

Then on 12-17-11 I'm volunteering at the North Texas Food Bank from 9-noon - something that has really hit my heart thru this past year is all the hungry folks out there because of the economy...

Not much else going on in my world.   we got an email at work from our team leader that kinda pissed alot of us off this morning in so many ways - but it will be okay.
gotta get back to work !!  (((((Huggs))))))))))
