whats new??? thursday May 1st
Happy May Day Jan and everyone....... 
Today is a gloomy, cloudy day here in MN....no sunshine for us. The temps are supposed to reach 62 degrees but it is just 49 right
now. The weatherman is also saying rain showers off and on throughout the day. Sure wish we could have a few days in a row of nice weather!!
Called my daughter this morning to wish her a happy birthday. I still have laryngitis and couldn't sing the usual silly birthday song.
She said, mom you have never missed singing to me on my birthday. She still wants me to sing to her when my voice comes back. They never outgrow the need! What a sweetheart!!
My wonderful cleaning fairy just got here.....not alot of cleaning to do because I was gone most of the week. Dusting is endless of course. There is plenty of laundry too.
I need to wrap this up and get on with my work day. I wish everyone a nice day!!
Hugs and love......connie d

Can't believe it's May already....where did April go???
Rode the recumbent bike this morning and actually got up to 10 MPH for a minute...worked up a "sweat"! Today is monthly weigh-in day and it wasn't good -- only lost a lb. last month. Measured however, and finally got waist measurement down an inch and another inch off hips.
Did a HALT paper and taped it to my kitchen cupboard regarding things I've been eating that I shouldn't!!! That's more than likely the reason for not losing -- and
my daily calories are running at around 1400, instead of 1000 to 1200. Got to stop and step back and get on the right track .... go****'s easy to get side-tracked. My goal by my 1 yr surgery anniversary is 100 lbs. lost -- hey I've only got 17 to go and I KNOW I CAN DO IT!!!!
Got my bills all paid for the month and in the mail. Should be outside working on my gardens, but it's so chilly I just don't feel like it. Three piano students this afternoon and our monthly Ladies Aid meeting at church is a nite meeting
so have to go there at 7 pm (the rest are all afternoon meetings which everyone prefers).
Guess I've rattled on long enough....hope everyone has a blessed day.

Done! Your Ticker:
Pat.......good for you on that recumbent bike...way to go!!! 
I know I can't believe that it is May already. I think it is because the weather has been so nasty. It hardly feels like spring around here. Snowed last weekend ..again!!!! 
Hey....one pound is better then non!! You know what you need to do and you seem to be heading back in the right direction. Yes it would be easy to go back the other way. This really is a lifetime commitment!!
You WILL make it to your 100 pound goal....you can do it I know you can!!! Keep up the great job working that tool !!
Hugs dear friend.......connie d

Happy May Day All!
Jan nice of you to start us up today. . .
We had a tease of spring last week and now it's back to chilly mornings, but soon enought it will be too hot, so I'll enjoy the fact that I saw some sunshine today, though by the time I leave here, it will be cloudy and possibly drizzling, which means more chill to the air, ooh well, the rain does keep everything green and growing. . .
Nothing too much happening here at work, at least not for the moment, perhaps things will pick up a little later, but my work day is half over and then I'm outta here for my 3-day weekend. Tonight will I will meet up with my friend, Owen at Starbucks and we will go to an AA meeting, after which I will go home, watch a little television and go to sleep. Hoping to see Tony tomorrow, but it all depends on whether a ship is coming in and what time, otherwise, I have my meeting with my PT at 9 and I will follow that with my cardio workout, anyway that's tomorrow and today is where we're at. . .
Have a great day and prayers and positive thoughts are being made for all. . .
Hugs, Laureen

Hi All,
I'm writing in purple because it's
Paint the Town Purple Day!!!!!
I brought lots of purple ribbon and at lunchtime I will be putting bows up all over the trees in front of our school. I'm very active in Relay for Life. I was active before I was diagnosed.... but it is even more important now. The Relay is this weekend and our school carnival is Friday night, so I will be on overdrive from now until Monday. Happy Purple Thursday to all of you!

Julia, I just called my cousins wife to let her know that I am walking on her team for Relay For Life. She is putting a team together because my cousin John is being treated for pancreatic cancer. I talked to him this morning and he is going into the hospital tomorrow because he is losing blood so he needs transfusions. I would appreciate any prayers anyone can say for him.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Well....I read all of your posts, as usual, and feel so much a part of your lives......good, bad and in between. I find myself nodding, and grinning, and feeling sad as I read...........sometimes knowing exactly what you are experiencing, and sometimes just feeling badly for things gone wrong temporarily.
This morning is glorious on Maui! For the past two days we have had a BIG south swell that is giving us 15 foot surf out front. The surfer dudes and dudettes have come out of the woodwork and there must be 200 of them out there flying across the waves. My neighbors and I all sit out on our lanais and just oooh and aaaah, and you can feel the excitement. Local TV stations have their cameramen out with the monster lenses catching the action up close and personal.
I'm one week from my trip to California, and I'm do daily organizing and chores to make my departure smooth and easy....hopefully. My son and DIL are moving this Friday into their new home, so when I get there next week...it will be bedlam. I arrive Friday....Sunday is Mother's Day party at DIL's parents home, and MONDAY IS BABY'S ARRIVAL DAY (DIL is being induced on the 12th). My life will suddenly go from peaceful and serene to wild and crazy. I hope I don't lose any weight during this visit, but I fear I will. I forget to eat when I'm so busy with kids, chores, visiting, etc. etc. I'm taking along protein powder and protein bars to at least get down when food isn't readily available.
So for now.....here comes a big hug of thankfulness for all of you. The strength and supportiveness in here is beyond awesome....and I think some of us would be lost without it. Count me among those!!
Have a wonderful day....and I hope something magical happens to you today.
