It's Thursday, how y'all doing?

Well I am not seeing them EVER  cuddling together as Bandit is so dam jealous!!! Sighs...

Well that just plain sucks!! Genetics huh? Dam!!!

I always said i got my looks from my dad...big fat and ugly...lol but now that I lost my weight and look in the mirror...all I see is my mom looking back at me!!! HUH??????? LOL So I guess I got my height from my dad...mom is just under 5 foot now...dad was 6' 2". I am 5'7". Yet. LOL

So how much weight have you lost total now? If you don't mind my asking.

HUGS

200 pounds.

My Dad was tall, Mom short. By the time I was 10 or 11 I was about the same 5'2" that I am now. So ... I still think I am tall.

CONGRATS!!!! :-)  And I sure pictured you alot taller than 5'2" for some reason!! Hmmm wonder why I thought you were taller??

HUGS

Nettie, the hernias can be genetic. I know my umbilical one was; both my brothers followed me to the operating room for similar hernias. My surgeon (who actually trained my bariatric surgeon) said it is congenital.

I like your nickname, Nettie ... reminds me of my big orange and white sweet cat, Nettie. I miss her.

Matthew reminds me a bit of Sammie, my grand nephew and the son of my niece, Andrea. I swear that boy is going to be a comedian when he grows up. He makes all of us laugh. But Sammie has blue eyes ... he's definitely a Briesch descendant.

Blue eyes don't happen in our family. Such a pretty color.

Those orange cats are special. I know you miss your Nettie.

 Annette,
I have had similar experiences with my Munchkins, and it is so hard to not laugh right at them.  Priceless gems from our Little Angels.

Enjoy when you can.

Hugs,
Trish

Trish,

The Munchkins are our rewards. Every minute with them is perfection.

Good mornin' ya'll.
Eileen, I so hope your headache is better. I hate hearing about all the stress you have at work. Unfortunately, In this economy, folks are stuck with crap jobs since there is nowhere else to go.
Trish, take care of the foot. Healing properly is very important.
Our daughter just had a record breaking open at her new Taco Bell in Dallas, OR. There isn't another TB within 20 miles of this new one, and apparently the folks there love their Bell!! Of course, that meant she had a week of standing on her feet non-stop for 10 to 15 hours a day. She is Director of Operations of this corp. and a franchisee herself. I have been to many of her corp conferences and listened and watched her interact with other owners and DOs. I think she is the only one who started from the ground up (she started there at 16 working the line), and is still willing to 'get her hands dirty' if need be. We are very proud of her!
Yesterday's plan worked like a charm. I intended to sit on my fanny and crochet all day. I fed one grandson breakfast and he took his morning nap. As soon as he left our son came for his lunch and a nap. My DH wanted some talapia we had gotten the day before, so I made that. But the rest of the day was fanny sittin'. Our son, DIL and 2 grandsons get up every morning at 4:30 and go to the gym. Dedication!! The older grandson and son always need a nap. The younger grandson and DIL just go on to work and school. I'm not sure if they get a nap later or not!
Oh, today is senior Toga day at school, so younger grandson came to get one to wear.
Better go. I'm on to more crochet and fanny sittin'. I've done my treadmill. There is no project with a deadline so I can just chillax!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!!

Morning all, sober 354 dyas and so proud of me.
No baby yet, we are all pushing for a speedy delivery.
Cool here, 61. Getting our winter clothes ready for trip north.
Have a happy day. Wonder how George is after the Rangers loss.
