ALL ABOARD !!!

Good morning, family! I've been up an hour or so..but not sure my BRAIN is functioning on all cylinders yet..feels like it is covering in a thick layer of fog..or snot..now..how's THAT for a visual, to have with your breakfast????

Same ole same planned for my world today..Wednesday is busiest work day of the week, and I'm working extra hard to "tie up strings" and train other people...The hardest part is that, I don't really KNOW what all I DO, cuz I do lots of "fill in the blanks" stuff, from intake to nursing to clerical to QA to Medicare Compliance to running out, at a moment's notice for death pronouncements-things not everyone can just up and do ( like a non-nurse can't do an admission/death, etc). Over time, I've just "picked up" responsiblities, and do them kinda automatically (the "Rainman" in me), so probably nobody will know WHAT I did (includng ME****il next week, when I'm not there, to DO them..lol..The people I CARE about can have my number on speed dial, and I will encourage them to call me..the STOOPID peeeps can just figure it out...hmmm..Passive/Agressive much??..YEPPERS

Hoping to call a special peep and go see her new house this evening, but don't want to JINX myself, by saying it outloud (you know who you are, MEGGIE...lol)..everytime we try to plan something, all crap breaks loose...

What's on YOUR agenda today? Hope you find a WOOHOO in your Wednesday!!

LOVE Y'ALL !!!!!!!!

Morning! I am awake and up in time to actually post, which is good. I got up to watch Biggest Loser since I fell asleep watching it and wouldn't you know it, the DVR froze 1/2 way through. They had just started their workouts and Conda was pulling the new car. So, I had to read the recap online to learn about the last part. This isn't the first time the DVR has done this. And its the 3rd week in a row that it did it on BL. Maybe it doesn't like that show?!

Today will be out in the field mostly- we're doing some accessibility testing at an employers to see if the software they use can be accommodated. I say we, but I actually bring in a specialist- I just sit there and look pretty. lol. Then I'm going to Denton to set up a computer system-that I know how to do.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day today!

 Good Morning my TMB Friends,

I agree with Phyllis....it is a BEAUTIFUL morning !!!   Life is good right now.   My WOO HOO for today is when I hopped on the scale this AM a number ( Lower one ) was looking up at me !!  WOO HOO !!!  I am thrilled that even at almost 7 yrs. post op I can still loose weight.    I am hoping that it continues to go downward......I am not happy with the numbers I've been seeing lately.    Last night I went to Teen Challenge Tuesday night chapel in Azle and they have 2 new guys that I had to break in with my "everything cookieis".   LOL    They loved them.    Next thursday I will be headed to San Antonio for their Teen Challenge banquet there and get to spend all day next friday with my son at Sea World.   Fun fun.....lol  I HATE Sea World.   LOL   Oh well....it is worth the sacrifice to make him happy and I can think of ALL the exercise I will be getting there.    Not much going on in my world right now.  I think my hubby will be happy if I quit going to the baby section in the stores.    He KNOWS how much I already LOVE this little granddaughter and she isn't going to be here for 3 more months or so.   LOL    Poor little spoiled child already.   LOL   Hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the day today.  I am about to go out and pull a stupid vine out of my flowerbed.   I wish I knew how to get rid of it...it came up last summer and totally covered and killed most of my plants.    It is back with a vingence this year.   UGH.....have a blessed and safe day today.   Love ya'll !!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

I feel for you....one year I had a flower bed and a vine grew up so I figured I'd get the trowel thing out after it and dig it up at the roots...I got down past the water line (about 6 feet under ground) and STILL hadn't reached anything but vine and leaves so I cut it where it was at, put all the dirt back, packed it back down and watched it take over my garden within a few weeks. My green thumb applies to weeds only.

Good luck!

TRACEY-you dug a hole "6 feet under ground" ?????

Hmmmmm..sooooo...if, for instance...just a RHETORICAL QUESTION...if someone was to ACCIDENTIALLY meet an unfortunate end...and I needed to....ummmm..hide the evidence...err...I mean the body....I could call my fave horticulturist/BFF, and she could "dig for a weed root"...that HAPPENED to require a hole SIX FEET DEEP ????

I knew there a reason fate brought us together...

Now..off, to finish hot glue-ing off the rest of my fingerprints..

I now have access to tractors and about 18 acres of woods...just sayin'.....   I think the woods may need some "sprucing up" now and then- you know, with various plants and such, that HAVE to be planted 6 feet deep.

Dear OH/TMB/WLS Express Pals,

What's on my agenda??  Work, work and more work at the office.  I'm swamped and feeling a little stressed.   Thank goodness, for OH and my WLS support friends.  I need all the resources available to help me with my WLS journey.

Looking for my WOOHOO, this Wednesday..

Lisa
