Hi, Its Monday September 29th!!!!!

Sure, we've thought of that, but our production is so small we can't handle that large scale yet. Maybe in a couple of years, though. 

OT....our son had his second interview w/ BC of AR on Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed!

Let me know cause the company I am working for is aggressively hiring......

We are national and International..

Darlene,
My husband is looking for an accounting job!!!!! Does your company let people work remotely on the puter at home?????

Good morning Carla, Happy New Year!   Good morning to everyone!

Not much going on here, tho I think the sky is finally supposed to clear.  Yesterday Glenn, Sam and I made it to the apple orchard.  It was so fun to go in and smell all the baked apple things, and look thru the jars of homemade jams and butters.  We got a big basket of Macouns, and Sam got some fudge and a 1/2 gallon of cider.  I just enjoyed the smells and the mums and pumpkins, sipped my water and dreamed of the week I get to throw an apple in the food processor - soon I hope.

Glenn and I played cribbage for a while, but we were so bored this weekend.  It rained and rained, and when it was done raining, it rained some more.  There was a small break in that around 2pm, so I put on my sneakers and went out for a walk.  I guess I was out about 30 minutes or so...It was great!  I needed it.  

Later I made meatloaf for my guys for dinner, and pouted as I had my 4oz of Cream of Mushroom soup.  I'm beginning to get sick of the creamed soups.  I think I will just stick to protein drinks today.  The thought of eating what I have on my week 2 list is getting to me, and I don't get back to see my do****il NEXT week, so I don't see the chance to move up to week 3 until the end of week 3.  I swear, I am not obsessed, but the choices I have right now are not doing it for me.......I refuse to be a renegade with the food, tho.  I don't want to mess things up with my new tummy and I am not gonna cheat.  

So, today I have to avoid the raindrops once again, and get to the grocery store for a couple of things.  Sam is home from school tomorrow and Weds for Rosh Hashanah, so I need some things in the house for him.  When I was in school, we had to miss for New Year, but now this town takes the days off.  Go figure.  Anyway, hopefully I will be able to squeeze a walk in this afternoon, if it clears up like they say.

Just re-read this note and boy, my life is as boring as my wkend was. 

Have a great day everyone!

Happy New Year Carla and to any others out there who celebrate the Jewish faith.  Sorry your cakes fell, had that happen a time or two myself.

We didn't get home until 8:00 last night.  We left Eunice about 4, it's a 2 1/2 - 3 hour direct drive, but we took the scenic route and then stopped at Cabela's sporting good.  I was looking for a thermal shirt to take to London in Dec.  Found one!!

Our visit with daughter, SIL, and Gabe went well.  Got there about 9:30 Sat. morning, daughter had a delicious breakfast casserole ready along with fruit and COFFEE!  We cleaned the kitchen, went outside to play with Gabe.  He's a bug hunter .  Oh, the things we do for our grandchildren!  After deciding on a late lunch, we went for a tour of their new home town.  Eunice is a small Cajun town.  In less than an hour we were back at their home, and that included a walk through one of the parks!  After lunch, we went to the main drag to buy our tickets $5.00 each for a live concert of Cajun music.  We toured the Cajun heritage museum and walked around the main street area.  Concert started promptly at 6, ended at 7:30.  Several people danced the Cajun two step and other Cajun dances.  Gabe likes all music, his favorite being Cajun music.  We enjoyed watching him keep rhythm with the music.  After the concert, we went to Bubba Frey's restaurant, a local hang out with live Cajun music.  One of the band members was the over seer from the museum and recognized us.  She mentioned they had visitors from New Orleans and a new family who had just moved to Eunice from Joplin.  She asked Gabe if he'd like to play the triangle with the band for their next song.  He looked at his mom and dad as if to ask if it was OK, and jumped at the chance.  He approached the band, and the lady asked his name.  He told her "Gabe, and I'm six years old."  He seemed to get the beat of the song and hit the triangle at the right times.  When the song ended, he stood up and took a bow!  His violin teacher (in Joplin) taught him to do that for his recitals.  The lady thanked him for "helping" the band.  He told the audience, "I also play the Cajun fiddle and sing a few Cajun songs!  Nothing shy about that boy.  Our meal was great, but the entertainment was even better!  We were some very proud grandparents in the audience!  When we were ready to leave for home yesterday afternoon, Gabe asked if he could pack and come with us.  It broke my heart to tell him he couldn't.  We promised he could come visit in a few weeks and maybe go fishing - we'd talked about it Sat. and again yesterday morning over breakfast.  Hopefully their schedule will allow.  We're trying for late Oct., if not then, we have a cabin rented on the lake for Thanksgiving week and they're trying to join us there.  I can't wait!

Back home and back to the grind - darn!

Prayers and HUGS for all those in need!
Debbie

Your weekend sounds like much fun - when I was a kid, my grandmother was about 2 hours drive, and we went up or she came down once a month.
She was m 'true' friend and even today, 30 years after her death, I still miss her.
We have my son and DIL over with Elizabeth, in my avitar, every Thursday, unless a major problem.  I love cooking for them and playing with her.
37 days to RNY and my new life and I am almost through my pre ops - tomorrow is my pulminary and then just straight blood test, at 30 days pre and visit with my GP so she can fil out some more 'medical history' and then I'm done.
Thanks for listening.

Oh what a perfect time. I smiled reading it..

Debbie,
What a wonderful evening. Thank you for sharing with us.

It is so hard to tell the grands "no" to anything. Sniff sniff.

Hi Carla and all of OFF dom!
Hope all are well today.  I'm writing from work, (NO NO) but doing it anyway.  Not much new with me since last nights post about the long hot soak in the tub!  Oh did it feel great!  I have some horribly boring work ahead of me here at work and am trying to avoid it, but can't too much as it has to be done. knowwhatimean?  LOL
Happy new year to you Carla and all of our Jewish brothers and sisters. 
I'm actually waiting for a telephone call from the medical supply place.  I don't remember if I told you all or not, but the sleep apnea has not gone away.  I got the result last week of the sleep study and still am classified as severe.  Not as bad as it was 3 years ago prior to WLS but still severe enough to need a c-pap at night.  So, just waiting to see when I can get it.  I actually hope it works well this time and I feel more awake during the day!  My sleep doc said that even if I weighed 100# I would still have sleep apnea and she thinks that contributed to the obesity.  It makes sense as people with OSA tend to eat a lot of carbs.  Hmmmm Oh well, have a great Monday all!
