It's Sunday - what's going on with you today?
Good Early Day to All!
I'm back and refreshed from vacation, had a wonderful time with Tony, we walked the boardwalk, hung on the beach, sat on our balcony and/or a bench and people watched, ate good food, ate not so good food (though I was mindful of what I took in) and just generally had a nice, much needed, relaxing vacation.
Today, I just kind of took things as they came, cleaned up my emails, made some phone calls, walked a 5k loop around this local park and took the Roxie girl to the dog park where she played nice with the other doggie children. I am bound and determined to lose the weight I put on in the last year, not much, but I want to get back down to the weight I was when I was at my lowest point and than stay there, so I am working some physical activity back into my days, as in measured kinds, not just the regular kind. Ended my night by going to an AA meeting and I'm still up because I was playing with the new camera I bought a while back, trying to figure out how to get the pictures to download and so forth, loaded some on my facebook page and since I was up and it is Sunday, decided to post the thread for this day.
My day today will consist of food preparation for the week ahead and doing some inhouse things, as it is supposed to be rainy all day today, which will be a good excuse to just be indoors and do what needs to be done to prepare for the return to my reality.
I wish you each a day filled with good things and if you are facing serious challenges, or someone near and dear to you is, I wish you peace and strength to get through it.
Hugs, Laureen

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.

Margo,
So glad to see that the weight of the world appears to have lifted off of you and your are making plans for making yourself happy. Congrats on the "new" wheels and hopefully enjoying good miles ahead.
I need to get busy around here, I've been in vacation mode and don't want it to end (lol)!!!
Cyah!

Hi Laureen! I'm glad you had such a great time on your vacation. It sounds like it was just what you needed to recharge your battery. And now Margo is "on wheels"! Yeah!
I went to a play about Maria Callas yesterday- I am too young to have known anything about her and the story was quite interesting- Ari Onassis and all. Hmm- it was R Rated...
Then I came home to our little birthday party for Sookie the Grand Dog. That little cute puppy had her first birthday- I swear she is 85 pounds. She was quite over-stimulated by the abundance of new toys. Laura said she fell asleep as soon as they got home.
Yesterday we hired a friend *****ally needs money to take down the little deck outside our bedroom and remove the spa there. The deck was rotten and unsafe. Underneath we found the cutest little patio. WE were able to keep the gazebo type cover and it is a darling little space for a patio set! I'm hoping that our weather will hold steady until mid October so that we can have an indoor/outdoor party after my "results" come back.
I don't have plans for today. Yesterday tired me out. I'm looking forward to Monday so I can start pushing for MRI results. I need to end this limbo stage I've been in for too long.
Happy Sunday!

Hey Julia,
That is nice that you found something you didn't know was there and it is useful. . . my Roxie slept like a baby last night after having her playtime, which is something she won't get today (outdoor playtime that is). I truly hope that the results you get are nothing but the best news!
Sending good thoughts your way!

Good morning Laureen and everyone....
Laureen...sounds like you had a great vacation....good for you! Glad you are back....we missed you!!
Margo...YAY...you got your Margomobile!!!! That is exciting. Now you will really have your freedom back!
Julia...sounds like you enjoyed the play. I love plays but haven't been to one in a long time. I should do that soon.
As for me...I slept off and on most of yesterday again. My cold seems a bit better today so maybe I will get out of the house for a while.
I wish you all a wonderful day.
Prayers continue for those in need.

Good morning all,
I haven't been around much. Got a head, ear, sinus thingy going on and the movement of the computer screen tips me over. Tomorrow I'll give in and call my doctor for an appointment.
Last night we attended the benefit concert for my cousin who was in the accident. He is an Ithaca College alumni, employee in the music department and well know. The event was HUGE!!! We had to leave during intermission. I couldn't stay any longer.
He is in the hospital in Philly and will be there for a very long time.
The doctors marvel at his progress. They have never successfully reattached a skull to a spine before. Yeah - miraculous.
Back to bed.
kisses

Annette,
Hope you feel better, sounds like you have inner ear stuff going on. . .
Amazing the things that medicine can accomplish and I hope that in time your cousin will make a full recovery. . .
You have a friend here who is just 15 minutes from Philly if you have need a place to stay so you can come and visit. I have empty beds, though Roxie might want to come and visit (lol).
Feel better.
Hugs, Laureen

Good morning one and all,
Laureen, glad you had a nice, restful vacation, it sounds like it was fun.
Margo, way to go with the MargoMobile!! Yayyyyyyy she's truly independant now. Watch out world!
The re-fi on the house is stuck in Hell. This has been a mess. So, because I'm not sure just when we'll get $$, and I can't be rushed and leave clients up in the air about my schedule, I think (for this very moment) that I'll postpone my plastics until January. During all of this I found out my Vitamin K level is below normal, and since it helps with blood clotting, maybe it's best that I do what I can to get that back up anyway. It would be just my luck to bleed out while have plastic surgery...lol It's just the way I roll.
Gary has a photo shoot to do today and I need to get my hiney moving around here. Grocery store, laundry, etc. You know, all the fun "day off" stuff. So....off I go to get the What are you eating thread going and then to the kitchen for bkfst.
Hope you all have a grand day!

Silly me. I was going to post the final edition of the face thingee but I can't remember how... AGAIN. It's on my profile.
I'm done. No more pictures. Just thought you all would like to see what the outcome was in a little over two weeks. I'd do it again. Lifestyle Lift.
Now to find a man that can afford me. I'm broke.
