Good morning all.  It is really cold in the mornings now.  It was in the high 30s when I was on my way to the gym.  Because of the cold temps most of the Marines are now wanting to work out indoors vs being out in the cold.  They are sucking up all of the machines and stuff.  They are supposed to be hardcore.   I laugh at myself because it is their gym that I am allowed to use and I get bent if I can't get on my usual machine.  So today it was the stair master instead.  No one likes that machine.  I shouldn't complain, it is a free gym membership. 
I start my part time job today.  I will be working a few evenings and some weekends at Michael's.  I want to save up for surgery on my "bat wings".   So, wish me luck.  I am not sure how it is going to work out getting up at 4 am and then working until 10ish some nights.  I like my sleep. 
Have a good Tuesday and stay warm.

Yo Sandy...call them "angel-wings"....you are an angel...not a bat!!! LOL

Hi OFF family! Happy Tuesday.

It's nothing out of the norm for work today, just busy.
Going to gym with Juli after work and do the therapy pool working with weights and sit-ups. Then on to the hot-tub and sauna for our reward.

Tomorrow I will do 2 hours of spin class. I like both instructors and the hour is over before you know it. My thighs are firming up big time with all the spin classes.

Went for a walk outside during break. It's kinda nice out there! We are not at peak colors yet on the trees but in 2 weeks watch out world!

Good morning, ya'll.

Today I meet with Dr. Awomolo who will be in charge of my chemo.  I am quite anxious to find out EXACTLY what path I will be taking.  I am praying she will agree that there is no reason to begin until I get back from Oregon on November 10th.

I am trying to get my weight up to 155 before the chemo begins.  It is very hard!  I NEVER thought I would say that!  After 2 years of practicing band rules, trying to eat healthy, and limiting calories, it is hard to make this large change.  I want to put the weight back on, but I don't want to do it eating junk.  Plus I have gotten back on my elliptical, which will burn more calories.  I am only able to do about 5 minutes at a time right now, but I do more every day, and I do that 5 minutes 4 times a day.

Everyone have a fantabulous day.

Good luck, Grammylew.  Prayers being uplifted for you!

Debbie

Grammy,

Wishing that you get the news you want!

Have a wonderful day!

Good morning Off
Chilly start to the day here in Michigan but a pretty day,   Guess that means another walk in the woods looking for pretty leaves since I found some more picture frames the girls like to use for their leaf pictures.  They have decided gramma and grampa and aunt carol  need  leaf pictures since Angel Mary liked hers. 
Still have my hopes high that my interview to marrow is the  job I am supposed to have.  I am good with seniors.   I have been offered the same job at the care facility  where my mom is  if only I didn't live 21/2 hrs away.

 Have a good day everyone
prayers going up for everyone!!!

Good morning everyone.  Got back from Chicago last night and still haven't had time to catch up on all of the posts.  I gather that George and Mary lost a beloved pet, and I'm very sorry for the loss.  Lots of us here know that pain and sorrow.
Had a wonderful time in Chicago, did a lot of walking.  The public transportation is great there.  Thank goodness my DIL knew the bus and rail routes so we didn't look so much like tourists.  The graduation was wonderful.  I was bursting with pride.  No one from 'her side' of the family was there to celebrate with her.  What a bunch of deadbeats.  We went to the Cheesecake factory for dinner and dessert afterwards.  The food was outstanding.  I tried a bite of DH chicken marsala and it was to die for.  I also got a piece of cheesecake, low carb made w/splenda.  Of course I didn't eat the whole piece in one sitting, but it was marvelous.  When I figure out how to attach a picture I'll come back and insert one.  I tried cntrl C and Ctrl V but it didn't work.

Jan,

Sounds like you had a wonderful time in Chicago.  Where did your DIL graduate from?  Our daughter graduated from the University of Chicago back in 2007.  She LOVES Chicago.  She just moved to New York to attend Columbia University in their MSW program.  I have a feeling after she graduates in 2011, she'll be moving back to Chicago.  Of course, I'm happy since she's only four hours away from home now - lol - but I'm proud that she has her own wings and independence - so proud - and when our children are healthy and happy, there is nothing more rewarding! 

What part of Chicago did you visit?  When I visited last in August, I stayed in Lincoln Park.  It's a busy, busy city!

Congratulations on your DIL's graduation!  I'm sure you were bursting with pride!!!
