Wake Up Gals and Guys, Its Friday March 3rd

Carla - how is Tevia doing? I think you said he had a boo boo? Annie sends love n' kisses

I slept all night long!! A good sign that I am feeling better or pure exhaustion took over. Nah - I feel almost human today - knock on wood.

Our tubby Isabella expects to have a combing when we are in the bathroom. Yes, an odd habit, but she has us well trained. It is a small wonder that she isn't totally bald with the time we have spent in there this past week. 

I am kind of a quirky person and it drives me nuts to see an open closet door. Annie seems to have discovered that fact and constantly opens Tom's closet door.  The door is at the foot of my bed so in the middle of the night I can see it s-l-o-w-l-y open. None of the other furmonsters have learned how to open the doors. She is a talented girl.

Up early too, seven hours is about my limit and I hit the sack early last nite as I was really tired.

Visited my cousin Judy at the hospital yesterday....she is the one with colon cancer.  She is doing remarkedly well, eating, walking and maybe going home today.  She will be having chemo and radiation soon.

Otherwise, my DS and DIL are leaving this afternoon taking 40 kids from Youth for Christ to New Symrna Beach, Florida for a week.  You just gotta love them for taking this trip on every year.

Work this morning and maybe clean this afternoon, if the spirit moves me.

Rainy here this morning but in the 40's...have daffodils ready to bloom,a sure sign of spring.

Fluffy has learned that door opening trick too, Annette.....aren't they smarties.

Have a blessed Friday my OFF pals,
Pat R.

Oh Annette, I'm so glad to see you're feeling better! Whatever it was, hope it's long, long gone.

It's a good thing you know Annie is the one opening that door. Sounds spooky otherwise!

My days of fearing the scale dropping at one slip up seems to be over. I've gained a mysterious 3 lbs even though I'm so diligent about what I eat. Some would say "what's 3 lbs?" Well, all of us here know the fear of 3 becoming 30. What a bother, and I don't know what to do about it.

Hope you and all my OFFer friends have a wonderful day. Try your best to rest so you'll feel better just in time for the weekend!

Love and hugs

Susan,

Hugs Sweety! I completely understand about the 3 pounds being upsetting. Could you be retaining fluids?

Yeah, we never get over those fears. Probably that's what keeps us on our toes.  PURE FEAR.

Well, it's actually a trend that's been going on for about four or five months.  First it was a fluctuation from 122-124, then 123-125, then 125-127, now it's 126-127. FEAR?? Hell no, it's more like TERROR!!!!
I've gone back through all of my files on Fitday.com and I'm averaging 1300-1450 cals a day, 80-90 grams of protein, and less fat than the Nut wants me at. Heck. Used to be if I skipped a snack I'l lose a lb, now I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing.

I don't have hair to spare or I'd be tearing it out!

Thanks for understanding. You're an

Annette, Annie and Misty must be relatives since she does that too. I hate open closet doors too and she loves to get in my closet. I shut the door and she opens it and then when I tell her to get out so I can close the door she won't do it. So I close the door. The first time I thought that she wouldn't get out but low and behold old Houdini opens the door from the inside too. Go figure. Sometimes they are much to smart. But gotta love 'em!

Brenda,
Maybe we could send them to Carla's Tevia - he could start a harem. No, we couldn't part with our furbrats or inflict BOTH girls on Carla.

Brenda, Diva showed Nettie and Scooter how to open closets and now they all do it. Everytime I take out my suitcase, I have to take off a whole cat from it (all of Nettie) as she likes to lie by it in the closet.

Even with Diva gone, her habits remain!

Good Morning Carla, OFFr's,

I'm up and ready for "work" , though seeing as it's Friday, there are generally no good postings .

Well the bright spot in this otherwise, rainy, grey day is that I am going to see my grandbabies while their parents go to doctor appointments and dentist visits. 

I also plan on doing touch up painting in the new rooms of my home, so that on Sunday when my friend and his brother come over to move the furniture in, all is ready.  Six years after I bought my home, it is now the vision I had for it, just have to wait a little longer for the mater bathroom project to begin, this is all stuff paid for or else I'd be up the creek without the paddle right now, though the landscaping in the backyard will have to wait some, perhaps by fall I will be able to some of that and besides, it takes time to get a "magic garden" to just the way you like it, so it will be a yearly unfolding. . .

Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes and I hope you have a good day, one and all!

Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

Good morning Carla and everyone.....

Annette....I am so glad you are feeling better. You had me worried there for a little while!!

Margo...that cake sounds wonderful. I remember my mother making that cake when I was young. It was always the moistest most delicious cake.Makes me want some now!!

Laureen....good to see you back!!

I know there were others I wanted to reply to but my CRS is getting me today....ugh!

I will be on the road traveling for my job today. I have a few clients to meet up with and do intakes. Friday's are usually my slow day but because I have been so sick all week my routine has had to change.I am not complaining....I am soooo grateful to have my job!!

The sun is trying hard to shine brightly. Hope that means the rest of the snow will melt. I am so sick of looking at it. I want green grass and beautiful trees and flowers.

Hope you all have a really nice day. Hug someone special today!!

Prayers to those in need.

Love and hugs to all....connie d
