Good morning.  I am off today and am heading to town for a few groceries and the bank in a bit.  Just hanging at home, doing laundry and chores most of the day.  My office Christmas party's tonight, so that should be fun!

 

Only wet and very cold here, thank heavens no ice.

Topic: FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

 

Good Friday Everyone,

I woke up this AM to a winter wonderland.    Not too thrilled to be perfectly honest.   LOL   Not that I don't love snow...but this is ice and sleet.    It's pretty but I'm not leaving and driving in this mess.    We ALL have something to be grateful for everyday and I know LOTS of kids who is grateful school was canceled due to ice and sleet on the roads.   LOL   Today I am grateful that my son's made it home safely and that my husband also made it home from his job safely too.   Grateful for my warm home and that I don't have to get out and drive in the mess outside.   I am also grateful for my WLS and the fact that even though it's been over 8 yrs....I can still loose weight.    Grateful for my heath and that my vitamin levels are still excellent.   Grateful for my family and friends....my faith and answered prayers.   Grateful that everyday when I wake up that I have a second chance of better eating choices than the day before.   Grateful for OH and all the information here for us to use and given to others in need.    Just grateful also my electricity didn't go off due to the ice storm.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed and safe day.

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Not sure that I can help you since OH revamped their website.   BUT I believe that the OH Support Groups are under the MORE in the solid blue above.   Click on that then on groups...hopefully you will find one in your area.   You can also call some hospitals and see if they do bariatric surgery there and see if they have any "open" support groups that you might be able to attend.   Good luck to you and have a blessed day.

Good morning  

My boss is still in town so I was planning to go into office today but I might change my mind as freezing rain is still falling here. My drive is freeway all the way with plenty of overpasses but more worried about the drive home and other drivers.  I don't want to get stuck out in it.   Guess I will decide in a couple of hours.  

Would like digits on scale to show a lower number but still in my goal range.  

 

Have a great day!

Sounds like your lucky Don.    It looks seriously like a winter wonderland outside of my house.    I'm NOT thrilled although I know every kid in town is thinking it's snow and NO school.   LOL   I will be thrilled when this mess melts.   UGH   Have a blessed day !!

I guess it is all relative.  So far so good for us as far as snow and ice are concerned. Every time I woke up during the night I checked the thermometer and it stayed above freezing.  Jan and I have several bridges to contend with on our ways to work.  Called my dispatcher this morning to see if they had any reports about ice and again so far so good.    Working today and hoping stupid is and stupid does don't run into each other on the roads.  Weather permitting we have a three year olds birthday party to get to tomorrow in Conroe. 

If you don't have to get out today - STAY HOME!

Topic: RE: Cold, cold Thursday WLX - Blankets in the overhead bins!

I will be pulling those blankets out tonight!  I haven't posted in several days, but I'm here...work is busy & I usually only get on OH at work.  So, that being said I haven't had time.  But today seems to be a little quiet around here.  HD has been in NM on business all week, but catching an earlier flight today.  Doesn't want to get stuck at the airport tomorrow!!!  Hope everyone stays safe and warm in the coming days... thinking Chili sounds pretty good for dinner tonight...

Good Morning Don and Saundra,

Brrr....it's COLD !!!   I haven't even been out of my house yet.   What CRAZY weather we are having.   Hopefully the 80* we had yesterday will keep some of the ice they are predicting off the streets.   I have a son taking a test to maybe get into Law School on saturday AM and then saturday is my middle son's 28th birthday.   I would really like to spend sometime with him on his birthday and he not having to be in his apartment by himself on his birthday...that would be NO fun at all.    Not sure if I'm going to get to make it to Azle tonight to Teen Challenge either.    I hate driving on ice especially if it is a choice and not something I have to do.   I guess I will have to decide later on when I hear a updated forcaste.    Hope everyone stays warm and drives carefully if you have to be out on the ice ( if it happens ).

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
