Monday Musings- What's Happening?
Good morning sweet sistas!
It's a beautiful morning here at Hilltop. Hubby let me sleep in a bit, so we're getting a late start to our day. He made grits, fried eggs, and bacon for breakfast. Not exactly diet food, huh? I had a small portion of the grits, one egg, and no bacon. Go me!
As you might have deduced, he's moving around quite well today. Slow steps, but no crutches at all. I just keep telling him to THINK about each step and to remember not to pivot on his knee. Don't want to undo all the good that was done during surgery. He's always a push-the-envelope type of guy.
Great news from the scale this morning! I passed the 80 lb gone mark today! 194.6! Woo hoo! Now I can set my sights on getting under the 190 lb mark.
I got a really good coupon from Land's End and I used it yesterday. I love Land's End pants. I can get them in tall and you just can't hardly wear them out. I like to shop their Overstock pages, and yesterday's coupon was for 20% off sale prices, too. I am buying them in size Large, which is a size 14-16. Amazing to me! Last year this time I was buying size 3X!
Well, hubby says we have to get started, so I'd better close. Wanted to write something to each of you, but I'll just tell you that I'm reading all your posts and sending {{{hugs}}} and prayers to each of you!
Love you all!

Yay to you Vickie, it is wonderful to shop these days isn't it? ;)
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Hi Trish and my OFF family:
Glad your Eagles won; my Bears won too, but I didn't get to see it. I saw the highlights this morning ... Devin Hester ran back a kickoff for a touchdown. And then there was the NLCS (baseball) last night.
Got up early for my cleaning lady this morning; place looks and smells so much better. I had to run out to make some change. I wanted to get zucchini that was on sale but it was really puny looking. So I got some Splenda instead. I had to spend more, but I needed to get it anyway. Need to take a nap this afternoon or I won't make it through to midnight.
Well, have a good day.

Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't been here much but I did just read all of your posts for the last 4 days. I had to give myself a swift kick in the pants last night. I've been ignoring almost every thing else for the love of facebook games. I realized last evening that it was to the point of not taking time to fix proper meals. I went and stocked up on healthy foods last night.
It's difficult since I do not have the internet at my friends house where I am sitting for 3 lovely ladies. 40 pound gentle Chuey, 25 pound Puff and 15 pound Bridget. Such sweeties. I've fallen hard for Chuey. The are all wonderful.
Marj took her laptop with her and even when I connect to her router, it says I'm not connected. Does anyone know what to do to get me on-line (using my sissy's laptop.)
It would stop me wasting time and gas running back and forth between houses. I am very thankful for the money I'm getting. Last year I did one dog for 10 days just for love of my friend, but this year is 16 days and 3 dogs. I need the money so bad. Medical bills have overwhelmed me.
Will keep in better touch. Mag

Mag-
If you have Windows XP or Windows 7 on the laptop click on the start button in the lower left corner. You should see an icon called Connect to... Click on that and it should recognize the houses router. You will have to opt to connect to that router. Then it should work.
Hope this helps.
