WHAT'S NEW FOR SATURDAY!!!
Just getting ready to head out to meet the other WLS folks for Saturday coffee! I'm doing ok, but am constipated, which I hate.
I'm helping give a shower for a friend's daughter - first grandbaby there! It will be fun, but i've still lots to do. Last night we went to a benefit for my sister's co-worker who has aggressive breast cancer. Amie is very young (in her 20s) and is expecting a baby and her young husband changed jobs and won't cover her with new insurance as it is a "pre-existing" condition. SAD. But the benefit was fun and upbeat and I'm sure raised a lot of money. Michael donated a pendant for the silent auction.
Have a good day/weekend, everyone.

Good morning all,
Here I si****ching Tom do the Saturday chores, trying very hard to keep my mouth shut. He's a doll to do the work but not quite my method. Boy, I'm a control freak.
Although I feel much better, he is insisting I take it easy. Any sudden moves and I am reminded to STOP or my back gives a jolt of pain.
Almost a week of not exercising and I feel like my belly is hanging to the floor. Food intake has been way down and the scales frightens me. After WLS we eat enough or gain weight.
Susan, regular people wouldn't worry at all about 5 lbs. To us, it is as bad as gaining 200 lbs.
Kisses to all
Annette

Good Morning, All
I'm up, semi-functional, trying to talk myself into getting showered and dressed. At least I know I will get dressed today. I have a deadline. Going to lunch and shopping with my niece. Gonna go look around and hopefully start with the Christmas thing.
Bah, Humbug! I'd much rather my kids spent an extra few days with me than bought stuff. The gift of time is infinitely more precious.
Janet, up to your elbows in guacamole is not a pretty picture to imagine....
I hope you're feeling better, by the way.... I hesitate to call during the day, because I know you're working from home, and of course, I'm working evenings. Ain't life grand? I miss you.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I'm headed out to enjoy some of our unseasonably warm Fall weather.

Good Saturday morning one and all. Nice to see Janet here starting us off.
A beautiful day outside. Jaret's first birthday party is today. Get to see everyone. Except maybe Eddie. His flag football team has a make-up game today. His parents are letting him decide whether he goes to the game or his cousin's birthday party.
Tomorrow Eddie has a playoff game. How his team does today will change what time they play tomorrow.
Macon is settling in real good now. Last night for the first time, he got up on the sofa and laid there all night. He realizes now that we allow that in our house. This is also the first greyhound we have had that plays with toys. So some new stuff for us. The first two were retired racedogs, so they never did learn to play with stuff. Pride just likes to run.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning, Janet and thanks for starting us out this morning. I hope that all my OFF siblings have a great Saturday.
Nothing much is happening here. I think that for most of the day we might just stay home and become couch potatoes. Now I just wish that there was something good on television to watch. Of course we can't have it all, can we?
The sun is out and shinning brightly. I love that and it makes for a perfect day. I think that it is just suppose to get in to the 50's today so we can't have sun and warmth I thinkin'. I know last night we went out to Walgreen's and Wally's and I told Bill that it is time for my jacket to be put up in the closet for the winter and my winter coat to come out more often...like all the time now. ha ha I use to love winter but not anymore. I just get to darn cold now! I never thought that would happen.
I am hoping that I will be able to pack some stuff for the big move that is coming this spring. I just can't wait until that time comes. I get so darn depressed living here anymore. Reba has certainly put a damper on my life now. Why do I allow her to live inside my head is beyond me. I just want to stop that but I am not sure how to do it.
I am going to go now. I am sending love and hugs to you all and prayers are being said for everyone too. Have a great day and don't forget to smile. It makes everyone happier!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Today seems to be a blah day. Got up at 7, fed the dogs, laid on the couch and fell back to sleep for two hours. Watched a couple of infomercials. Almost bought the body slimmers they were advertising. When I decided to buy them, the infomercial was off, so now I have to wait for it to come back on. I know some people use Spanx, but it's really expensive. Does anyone here have a recommendation?
My breeder friend, the one I got my initial Norfolk Terrier from has run into trouble. She gave one of her female dogs away with the understanding that she could breed her. Well, she bred her, and the ***** had three puppies 5 days ago. One of the puppies had a cleft palate and didn't make it. This morning the momma dog had a heart attack (the vet thinks) and died. Now my friend is left with trying to bottle feed these two puppies to keep them alive, and she's got to tell the people that the momma died. What a horrible thing to happen. She seems to have a black cloud over her head these days. Nothing is going her way. I feel so badly for her, but there really isn't anything I can do to help. I feel like I should do something but don't know what. Then I got an e-mail from another friend and their beagle died last night, she was only 9. Too much sadness these days.
Well, I'm going to do the dishes now and put some calico beans into a container to freeze them. I had some for breakfast and they were yummy. Dinner at my cousin's tonight and then downstate tomorrow.
Catch y'all later in the week.

Aloha you cute little redhead!
Believe it or not, I do come in and read every day, but most days get busy and time flies before I have a chance to post. So many of you are dealing with medical issues, family issues, money issues, and just life' challenges. Me, too! I so hope that everyone works through their "stuff" and comes back with good news.
It's 6:30 a.m. on Maui, and not quite light yet......but Haleakela, the volcano is outlined in black, and the ocean is silver. It will soon be sunrise and golden everything. I love this time of morning, and usually have somewhere I have to be so I can't go out on the lanai and just be still and grateful.
My weight still puzzles me. Susan, I hear how you feel about gaining 5 lbs. Even though I know I'm skinny, when I got up to 167 I started to think "oh no....I'm on my way back up!" Then, sort of without thinking about it.....the scale moves back down to 156, and it seems like I have to eat regularly to keep it there. Do not want to get back down to 153....my lowest. Even I could see my bones and it wasn't attractive.
Marti.....keep up the great work on purification. You already sound better....different, and I'm happy for you.
Annette......I'm always worried about you. Life has given you more than your share of challenges, and you are such a trooper. Please take special good care of yourself.
Margo.....I hope you are safely traveling and that your home sells soon.
Janet.......Whenever I go into Starbucks, I think of you!! I haven't gotten the lingo yet.....I still ask for a small coffee in a tall cup so I can add lots of half n half!!
OK...now it's time to get going. Just wanted to come in a cuddle with you all for a few minutes. I don't like being out of touch. What bunch of kooky, wonderful people!!
Aloha nui loa,

Good Morning Janet! And what would Thanksgiving be without "dysfunctional".... it would be just any other day! We will be getting lots of family company so things will be hopping at my house this year. Luckily I have the week off work to prepare for the festivities! Good luck on yours Janet!
I'm off to a play this morning- something about Frank Sinatra music- "Christmas My Way", I think. I'll get home at about 5:30, and will just barely have time to get to a retirement dinner at 6:00 in the next town. Livin' La Vida Loca! After the retirement I have to get my puppy fix... every day I just swoon over my new Grand Dog! She is a love! And she sure knows Grandma! (I'm afraid of how I will be with a real baby! Lord have mercy!)
Last night I was heating something up in the microwave and when I grabbed the cup I burned the heck out of my index finger. The mug must have been unevenly heated and it was unbelievably hot just at the handle. I didn't want to drop it so I burned myself even more. Now I have blisters up and down that finger. It hurt so much that I thought it would keep me up last night, but it didn't. I feel really sorry for burn victims- I got a tiny taste of what that must feel like.
Happy Day to you all!
