Whats New Wednesday, Hump Day!!!
Congratulations on the accomplishment, Vera! Way to go....
Off this morning to take hubby for follow-up visit to the Pulmonary doctor. He's doing so much better I hope to get good reports from the doctor. Work was crazy yesterday after being away for 4 days. 273 e-mails..... I can't believe that people had that much going on but apparently I was missed. Yippee... I'll go into work later today if hubby isn't too tired to be by himself after a trip to the doctor.
I wish everyone joy and happiness..... and heat..... and warmth that comes in a variety of ways.
Hugs,
Kathi
congrats vera! whooo hooooooooooooooooo
had a serious talk with my son this morning-they really had no plans to go back after any of the things they left behind so-i will dispose of them in my own way!
went for plasma last nite and stopped at a new a (to us) mexican restaurant-very good pulled pork tostadas-a nice full plate for $5.00
i am so glad that i stayed home yesterday and watched the inaugural stuff... i missed teh balls tho and am sure i am gonna be fine without them! i, too, am in awe when i can speak about where i was and what i was doing as jeannie spoke-tho i also have to add JFK's funeral procession to that list...that was a somber time spent with my adopted mom- one of teh few good memories of her...those of us who attended the dallas gtg with janet were given the wonderful opportunity to tour dealy plaza and the museum at the book repository site...how stabbing the sound of that bullet in the headphones ...wow....ok- c/s!
tonite, we are picking up some vintage 1940 mint condition books being given to us...am so excited to see them-will report more detail ....
well-off to the mines...and refill my coffee cup!
hugs and prayers...................
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Well, it's warmer today but not sunny ... I guess it's a trade-off. It's 22 but feels like 10, the weather channel says. I have PT this morning at 11, so I have a little bit of time left to relax before I have to get ready. I'm going shopping after that. I took my shower before so I can warm up before I leave.
Talked to Carla this morning ... she has had a migraine headache for a week and is miserable. She say****he good news is, she is able to get her Starbucks ... the hospital sells Starbucks, so her hubby is bringing some up to her (she says if he doesn't, she makes him go back downstairs to get some). I can't imagine Carla going a day without her Starbucks!
Later today, I'm meeting Nan Horten and her family for dinner at the local Culver's ... my cat sitter Jeanine (where Diva now lives in the cat rescue shelter) is having a fundraiser for her rescue, Reuben's Room, there. Part of the evening's proceeds will go to the rescue, and shelter volunteers will serve dinner (if you have never been to a Culver's, it's a fast-food place, better than McDonald's, etc., you place your order up front, and then they bring it your table. They're known for Butter Burgers and frozen custard, but they also have good salads and really good chili, better than Wendy's.)
Also talked to Joyce Stewart yesterday, she say****oo. Her knee is mending from the 'scope. She starts PT today, too. This sounds kinda like a hospital report here, doesn't it?
Vera, congrats on losing 50 pounds forever. Feels great, doesn't it? I like to think of 180 pounds lost as a whole person ... yours is a small child. And you will lose more, too. Prayers, too, for your hubby's job prospects. This is a tough economy.
Well, that's all for now. Have a good day.
morning vera and OFF family...

Good morning (I still have 5 minutes left!) Vera and my OFF family.
I have been to Wal Mart shopping and got everything put away. I had $5 worth of coupons to use and remembered them after everything was done. I asked the cashier what to do and she told me to go the service counter and I did and they gave me my $5. I was relieved about that. I told her if it was for just a bit of money I would have forgot it but $5 is a lot to me.
The sun is out this today and it is still cold. It is 17 out and we are having high hopes that it get to the 30's tomorrow like they are saying. It has been a long time since we saw that temperature. I am keeping my fingers crossed for that to happen. It is suppose to be warmer for a couple of days and then it is going to get cold again. Down to 1 at times but at least it is above and not below zero. If you can't be happy with what you have find some things that you don't have to be happy about.
I got 12 cans of Slim Fast low carb shakes for me. I signed up at Slim Fast.com and joined it and they send you coupons. They come in handy too. The low carb is never on sale and it costs a bit more than the other kinds but it only has 1 gram of sugar and 20 grams of protein and the other has 18 grams of sugar and only 15 grams of protein. I couldn't tolerate the 18 grams of sugar. I can eat sugar unfortunately but if it gets to high I just get sick to my stomach. I avoid it and with good reason. No one likes to be sick. ha ha
I am finding myself working on getting back on track. It is so hard at times once you get off the track. I have heard people say that this wls is the easier and softer way but boy they haven't walked in our shoes. They may think so but they are dead wrong on that one. You have to watch things so closely and I really think that once you have wls you just drop the weight and never have to do anything about it. I think they believe it is like magic. HA! Little do they know. But I can say at least the tool that we have been given works if we work it. That is the key words........IF WE WORK IT. I thank God every day for the gift that was given to me. I need to be ever mindful of the fact that I have to work it. So far things are going well. I can relate to the fact that before I never let myself get hungry. Now it isn't so bad and it is normal to get hungry when it is time to eat. So maybe there is hope for me and my strange mind after all! ha ha
I better get going. I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers and special thoughts for all. I am having a bout of my CRS and can't remember anything that was posted. Know that I am with everyone in spirit and pray for each and everyone for their needs.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
This kitty (Pespsi) was so very special and such a joy. I had a rough day and evening, but I know she is in kitty heaven with her sissy. I have been doing a lot of cleaning trying to keep busy.
She was a love baby and a lap kitty. I have not told my son yet. She was really HIS kitty but he agreed to leave her with me due to her age. I got her (and her sister) 16 years ago July 4th, when they were only 7 weeks old. The tuxedo cat (Patches) was my girl and the other kitten (Pepsi) ab****ely ADORED my son. He would carry her around his neck and she would sleep on his head! haha!
I lost Patches 3 years ago September. It was heartbreaking but Pepsi and I consoled each other and bonded. Losing this little one is especially difficult. She was my last pet. There will be no more.
My condolences to those of you who have also lost a beloved furry friend. (((((( hugs ))))))
I'M AT GOAL!
