Thursday's what's new revue
i bought a dell at walmart- was reasonable- i also got a mini mouse cuz i cannot do the laptop mouse (it's a brain thing!!)--i think carla has an acer- and our IT guys at work got us acer monitors-only thing i don't like about my dell is no cd thingy--
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.

Today I should be packing for 10 days downstate, but here I sit, on OH. Hot Chai Protein tea for me this morning. I will be taking this downstate with me too. It's great in the morning.
I already went on line to hold my mail, but I'm worried I'll get something in the mail regarding my new GM Retiree Benefits. I understand that they're making us all have BlueCross/BlueShield PPO now, with a $5,000 yearly deductible, and it's going to cost me DOUBLE of what I'm paying now per month! I guess I should be greatful that I have healthcare of some sort. Never in a million years did I ever fathom that GM would go bankrupt and cheat us retirees out of our due benefits. Life is a crap shoot I guess. But now, I've got my health!
I have a lump on the bottom in the middle of my left foot. It's growing and now hurts me when I walk. I think when I take hubby in for his foot surgery next Friday I'll pull off my shoe and sock and have the doc take a look. The surgeon is like a brother to me, he and his wife lived across the street from me for 20+ years, and I was the first person to change his son's diaper. In fact if he was home alone and his son pooped, I was called to the rescue and changed the poopy diaper! I love this man. Hopefully he won't think I'm crazy (he already knows that) for whipping my foot in his face!
Hope the shower goes well on Sunday. The kids already have everything I've bought for Joshua. I'm not giving them anything at the shower. I'm waiting to see what they get and what they need and then I'll buy them something big. The stroller they want is $250 so that may be the purchase. Just talked to hubby, he says we should get the stroller and the monitors (with video). I guess for my first grand, nothing's too good.
Well, I guess I'm rambling. TTYL

Good morning Margo and OFF friends,
I've been working a couple of hours, but I did sleep in this morning a little extra. It felt so good. I can't imagine sleeping in until 8 or 9 a.m. since we're in bed early and hubby's alarm goes off at 3:50 a.m.
Not too much news here to share. I'm finally getting in my protein requirement thanks to a wonderful new friend I met and shared a ride with this past weekend going to the NY conference. I'm using Max Protein and DiVinci syrups, Banana, Coconut, and Pineapple, to make a protein pina colada. It's delicious. (Sorry if I've mentioned this before - mind just isn't as sharp as it used to be - lol). I'm going to try the DiVinci syrups today with Walmart protein to see if I can taste a difference. The Max Protein is a little pricey, so I may as well compare before making the investment.
Have a wonderful day everyone!

tooth is still hurting me and the vicodin has helped some. can't wait til tomorrow and i see the dr again. supposed to open it up and airate it?? not sure what that means but right now my tooth feels like it is expanding??? all i know is it hurts!!!

have a great day and know my prayers and thoughts are with those that need them!!!

Morning Margo & Margaret & the rest of you OFFr's,
Last night I watched the WS and it was an awesome game if you are a Phillies fan, due to logistics I am rooting for the Phils, though I am in truth a METS fan.
Today I have my 2 year post-op visit and it will be good to see my surgeon and find out the results of my labs after that I will be going to my AA meeting.
People in my office are getting sick, kind of glad I sit all by myself at the end of the hall and I keep packets of disinfectant wipes handy, though my housemate is also sick, sheesh! But I refuse to get sick and if attitude helps at all, I won't get sick, I've been very healthy since surgery.
Well folks that's about all I got, except to wish you all a wonderful day and as always, the strength to get through any life situation you are presently experiencing.
Hugs, Laureen

Good Morning OFF family,

Did spin class last night after work, only did one class, was going to stay for the 2nd class but Becky kicked butt big time...love going to classes with a trainer that pushes ya!
It's almost payday Friday. Looking forward to my weekend off and not working. The grand kids are going trick or treating Saturday as the Statue of Liberty for Rozi and Remi is going to be a lion. Kids get so excited about Halloween and I want to bottle up that energy!! We live in the country on 10 acres and don't get any kids...that's good cuz I don't want any candy hanging around...Halloween candy is the debil!!!

Good morning Margo & all. Well they are finally cutting our trees! Our pines are very old & are falling down. I can't believe how they do it. In only a few minutes he has a huge path. I love the machine they use. Asked DH if I could have one. He almost passed out!
Today is jus****ching the guys work & making dreamcatchers. Talked to my son last night. He said to wait on sending packages for a week. A friend of his & I each send one a week. He shares with all his soldiers & right now they have a lot. So I froze his cookies & will make banana muffins next week. Well that about all for today. Take care of yourselves.
Judy I hope the pain goes away soon.

good morning offers......just cleaning house today since it is pouring here with lots of heavy rain and wind...temps are pretty good but it feels colder since the wind is blowing so hard,
Im getting things cleaned and ready for my total knee surgery on Tuesday...yuck i cant believe i am going to put myself thru that much pain again. but i will , i will i will do my exercises no matter how much they hurt....i have to be able to walk and dig and climb and ride the motorcycle without so much pain that i have now. the right knee is good now...i had surgery on it two years ago and it is fine so i know this one will be too , just have to do all the exercises and in early days use that automatic knee bender torturer thingy .lol
all of you that pray please remember me next tuesday morning ....and those that dont send me good vibes ok?
wonder why we have the need to really clean house before surgery? is it that if we dont make it we dont want people coming in saying stuff about us ? lol I would rather think that im being resoureful in the fact that i wont be able to do it later so at least it will be clean for awhile. Joe is very good about cleaning and cooking and helping me do all the things i need to do...so dont know why i worry about it.
Hope i am well enough and able to meet up with George on the 29th of November for dinner in Branson ....talk to you all later.
