Good morning, my TMB Family!

If I let "Rainy days and Mondays get me down" I'd really get a double whammy today, wouldn't I ? I've been humming that song all morning...we used to sing it, on the school bus, when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade...those "older" 5th grade boys were SOOOOO "cute" and "groovy"...awwwww...sure made me swoon then...

It's just me and my niece, Brynleigh, home today. She'll be 5 months old tomorrow, and already thinks her GiGi is the funniest tall peep, on the planet. Is there anything better than a truly happy baby, who is honestly happy to see your face? I wasn't sure she even know who I AM, but she hasn't seen me since Thursday, and when her mama pulled the canopy off her carseat this morning, and Brynleigh saw my face, she squealed and tried to jump out of that carseat-she KNEW where she was--y'all KNOW GiGi ate that up! She still at that age where she pretty much stays where I put her, so the plan is to do some "domestic duties" today. I love to "clean inside", while God "cleans outside"....Here is a pic of Brynleigh, wearing my first attempt at bow making. I think I got a little carried away...

Went to extended family reunion this weekend. Lots of "wow moments" and lots of SILENT "I'm so glad YOU got old and ugly" moments...the later were for older 2nd cousins who were "oohh la la" and always skinny, better dressed, married better, etc than the rest of us...Haven't seen a lot of people in decades, so they didn't even know WHO I was...LOVED it...I'm still poor..but I am in better health and was nicer than ANY of those old snobs!! AND--I got to see ELVIS--IN PERSON--and they did NOT..lol,,REVENGE is SWEET !!!

But...the ummm...NICE cousin here ate ten kajillion calories this weekend, and has to totally up her protein/fluids/exercise this week, and keep her head in the game, because I KNOW where even 2 days of craziness can lead me. I have done it TOO many times. I was in the car the majority of yesterday, so couldn't do a whole lot, but TODAY is TODAY!!

Here's hoping for a GREAT, HEALTHY week for ALL of us !!

Good Monday Everyone,

Hope your ready to begin a amazing week.    We ALL have so very much to be grateful for every day of our life....whether we realize it or not.   Everyday is a gift to us from God and we should be happy about it and not waste that day.    We are not guaranteed anything in this life.   Today I am so grateful for every new day I am blessed with.     Today will be a better day than yesterday,   I am SO grateful for my WLS.   Even though I am not where I would like to be weight wise ( number on the scale ) at least I am NOT where I was 9 yrs ago.    Grateful for all the people in my life who encouragement me daily and help me to make good choice for my life.    Grateful for all the good things and the not so good things also....those not so good things teach me very valuable lessons that I need in my life.    Grateful for my family, friends, Obesity Help and support groups which IMHO are SO very important in our journey to better health and a healthier weight.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed and safe day !!!

Trying to be positive here!  Need a rain day at work so I can do some letter writing I'd like to get done.  Looks like I'll get my chance today.

Keep the umbrellas handy!

Yay for Friday!! Cheer season is kicking my butt right now, but it will be over in a month so I think I can make it.

My Auburn Tigers are going for our 5th win tomorrow which is amazing since we only won 3 games all of last year. Next weekend is the big game against A&M and Bill and I are going. So excited. It will be my 5th SEC stadium and our goal is to get to all of them.

Except being super busy, all is well here!!

Good morning everyone.  Well I missed checking in yesterday.  Work was busy.  Today is starting out slow.  Hope it picks up soon.  Hate to think that this day will last for ever! Got my car out of the shop last night $845. after a 15% discount!    Cooling fans and connectors had to be replaced.  I knew something was going to go wrong, we only have 4 payments left !  Going to meet friends for dinner tonight.  Still no plans for this weekend while DH is out of town.  Might just stay home and watch football all weekend.  Hope everyone else has a great weekend planned.  Enjoy !!
