HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!! What's new today on this beautiful Thursday...
Sorry Connie, not sure what is going on with my phone. Your post wasn't there when i wrote mine. Then i hit the post button and yours appeared.
Si i wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving.
I celebrated with about 50 people from my mom and dad's side of the family. We went to a restaurant in Decatur IN. It was such fun as it was the first time some folks had seen me in over two years (135 lbs ago) or 7 months (75 lbs ago). Boy were they surprised as all but a few had no idea i had WLS. What fun. I put a slew of pics on Facebook.
Claire and i went to Bob Evans and had turkey dinner yesterday. I of course brought home left overs. I had gone grocery shopping and bought wild salmon for grilled salmon salads tonight.
I am two lbs from my next intermittent goal, 250 lbs. I see my WLS on Monday. Hopefully all will be on target. I want to get down at least 50 more lbs. So as a friend always say, Onward and Downward. .
Blessings,
Francine
Hi Fran and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

HI Fran....I went to FB to find you. I am not getting any of your posts????? I answered a few now. I wonder what that is about. I don't get Vickie's very often and not all Judy's etc....I thought everyone has been ignoring me. I just go to people's timelines now and then to see what is going on.
HUGS....you look fabulous...love too....connie d
Hi gang!
I am hiding out in my room for just a minute. I am exhausted! I have eaten so much rich food all day long, I feel miserable. Ugh. WHY did I do it?
Chris and her family arrived late. It didn't matter. We all slept late around here too. But what was funny was the way Christie fussed about my plan to have ham sandwiches and snacks; she INSISTED that we HAD TO HAVE cornbread dressing and green bean casserole and sweet potatoes! I mean, to the point that it was almost a family conflict for the past week. Well, they got here late and she did haul all the ingredients to make all that stuff to my house, but by then Carrie and I had already fixed all the snack-y type foods that I had planned to serve. So she sat down, fixed her plate, and then took a 2 hour nap! LOL! I don't care--she could have cooked if she wanted to. But we didn't need it, we didn't eat it, and we did try to tell her so beforehand.
Then someone left their chair pulled out from the table and Maybelle got up on the table and had a ball! She ate from almost every dish! Bad puppy!
Mike and I got up in the attic and got all my Christmas stuff down. Bless his heart! I promised him that we will not have to do that again if we get the new house. We'll have a barn to store it all in. No more attics!
Oh, and today we found out that his sister and her husband ARE coming here for Christmas, so now I will have all of Mike's family here for Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day. Wow. That's 12 people. My little tiny kitchen is going to really be put to the test.
Connie, I am so thankful that Amanda and Tyler were not hurt! I don't really know what blac**** is, except I've heard of it and I know it is dangerous. Judy, I'm so glad you got to see your son. Eileen, I'm sorry you had a headache today. It probably did have something to do with donating blood. Francine, girl, you are lookin' GOOD in your pictures on FB!
I've got to go. My family has found me. Sigh. No rest for Mimi! LOL!
Love you all!
Vickie
Hi Vickie....I am glad you found a few minutes to post. I knew you were going to be busy!!!
12 people for Christmas Eve/Day....WOW!! Did anyone even ask you if it was okay? Not like you aren't busy or anything...LOL!!!
That silly Maybelle....she must have run and hid when she was found!! Hope you were able to salvage some of the food.
I had a very long, sad and lonely day. This time of year is always hard for me. I try to ignore it but it keeps coming back. I am trying to stay together until Amanda and Tyler make it here. Too much on my mind. Being stuck in my apartment for so long hasn't helped. I am going to try to go to lunch tomorrow. Physically I am getting stronger. I thought I was doing great with my balance...nope I fell twice today....I am okay....it just scared me!! I don't dare tell anyone here I fell!!! I could lose my apartment!! I was using my cane and not my walker...I know better....I am as bad as Butch!!
I am just going to go to bed now...it is late for me!! I was filling out the miles of paperwork needed for my new doctor next week. It is the same clinic....everything is already in the computer....no....they want it written too. A total waste of my time!
Good night...I love you.....HUGS....connie d
