Happy Mahvelous Monday!! This driving the train is kinda easy! I am up this early beacaus I slept in curlres,yes I am old school, and my neck said I was done!

Spent yesterday rearranging all the furniture in the house! After being stuck in this house 3.5 out of the last 5 months I was tired of it! It actually looks bigger and brighter. It was a little to bright so Lil Stevie had to put her shades back on! Grandson Jonathan needed some spending money so we put him to work pruning bushes cleaning the patio hauling stuff to the attic and other handymanactivities. He is such a great kid!

Today Mom and I go to dallas for folow up with Neuro . She is also taking me to my belated B-day lunch. We are going to Cafe Pacific at Highland Park!!! Oh La La, very fancy!! I already googled the menu and think i will have the shrimp salad...yummers!!

Now on to SMET or So Much Easier To...

1) Buy a bathing suit
2) Get into the attic
3) Fit on a gurney in an ambulance
4) for friends to get their arms all the way around me!!
5) get sent home from work for dressing TOO sexy(that was awesomeness!!!)
6) squat down and get back up!

Now...yall get out there and make it a great day

Meggie

P.S. Tonight like every Monaday night is Originals at The original Mexican Eats Cafe on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth! My friends Jeff Posey and Jim Eagle plus a visiting singer/songwriter perform in the Cantina!!No cover, great menu the work for tips. Show is from 7-9 and it is gret fun!! come on out!!

Good Morning Train!

WOOOHOOOO for MONDAY and great workouts that are DONE!  I did an hour on the recumbent bike, (because I too was awake earlier than normal) my thighs are tired and achy which is a good sign that maybe I need to make it an hour from now on, either that or crank the tension another notch... decisions, decisions, LOL

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

I was singing along at the top of my lungs on the way to work this morning to Tommy James and the Shondells'  Draggin' The Line.....


Making a living the old, hard way
Taking and giving my day by day
I dig the snow and the rain and the bright sunshine
I'm draggin' the line (draggin' the line)

My dog Sam eats purple flowers
We ain't got much, but what we've got's ours
We dig snow and the rain and the bright sunshine
Draggin' the line (draggin the line)

I feel fine
I'm talking about peace of mind
I'm gonna take my time
I'm getting to good times
Draggin' the line (draggin the line)

Loving a free and feeling spirit
Hugging a tree when you get near it
Digging the snow and the rain and the bright sunshine
I'm draggin' the line (draggin the line)
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)

I feel fine
I'm talking about peace of mind
I'm gonna take my time
I'm getting to good times
Draggin' the line (draggin the line)


Ya'll have a great day my friends!

GOOD MORNING! Meggie- you're up so early girl! I am glad you're feeling better but please don't overdo it. It was so good to see your tiny self Saturday.

I don't want to work today! I have a meeting ALLLL day. Yuck. We didn't get home until after 10pm last night. It was a long day but good and fun. Parents are here from PA- I'm so excited. They got here yesterday and are staying with my sister in FW. We all went to Saltgrass last night. It was good.

Please pray for my neice Emily today. She is having yet another surgery on her ears-tubes back in (3rd time) plus her adnoids are coming out.

I hope everyone has a great day today.

Good morning Meggie.  I agree with Alissa.  Don't over do it.  BTW... curlers aren't the best when you have a history of daily migraines.  LOL..  Don't pu****

I had a fun weekend.  I found out that I still had it.  It is always nice to see guys tripping over their feet to look/speak to you.  I made my new friend jealous.  Yeah... that feels soooo good.  LOL.  Did I mention I am enjoying the single life for now??  I did have to delete a bunch of not needed friends off my facebook page at the end of the night.  LOL  Alissa, glad you got a laugh.  It was fun.

My Monday SMET

Getting up off the floor
Putting on a pair of jeans
Walking more than 10 feet
Playing with the kids.

Prayers for all that need them.  You guys have a wonderful week.

Happy Monday all!  I had a super weekend and it helped get me energized and ready for the week.  Saturday I met up with some of the Collin Cty group at IKEA.  We had a great time chatting for a couple of hours and got to see some faces that have been MIA for a while.  It was great reconnecting with people.  We wandered around the baby area there for a bit, and I found an awesome deal on a wardrobe for the nursery.

Then Sat night we went to see fireworks at the Highland Village Red, White and Blue festival.  We waited till about 8:30 to get there so the heat wouldn't be so bad and it was great.  Fun sitting around chatting and laughing with friends and then one of the best fireworks shows I've ever seen.  Woohoo!!  Yesterday we had a energizing message at church at were introduced to a bunch of projects, etc that we'll be doing over the summer.  FYI- If you have a girl or boy scout that wants to work on their Religious Badge this summer, we're going to be offering the classes to do that.  If you want info send me a PM and I'll send out the link.

We went over and visited with my in-laws for a while after church.  It's really good seeing FIL getting around as well as he is.  He's doing all his exercises and walking with a walker, but doing much better than expected.  After that we came home and got busy on the nursery.  We finished clearing out the stuff that goes in the storage closet, then assembled the wardrobe and arranged furniture.  There are pictures on FB is you want to see them.  Jeff kept getting a far away look while we were setting things up and said that it's really making it all real for him now.  Big grin on my part!!

Ok, time to go earn my keep so HP won't lay me off (hopefully).  Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Good morning fellow riders.........

Not much to say thismorning.   I'm at ease.....at awe........and head it just spinning from a wonderful but yet very emotional weekend.........but that is a good thing.......

My eats are hopefully back in control.   I'm down 3 lbs........I went over that magical point last week and was really bummed out about it..........but after many discussions with a friend realized what I needed to do and where I needed to start and feel good about that........whoo hoo.............setting goals, small ones and will get back to 199 - no time frame set on that yet - but I WILL DO THIS...........

gonna be a busy week - My team leader from Houston is in our office this week...so not much sneaking on here......cuz she sits kinda right behind me...........

Now on to SMET or So Much Easier To
Drive a car.........without the stomach steering
tie my shoes.........
many other personal things that I will not mention on here but were major for me....
sit in a seat in a team leaders office/space without sqeeeeezzzzzing in......


Meggie:  5) get sent home from work for dressing TOO sexy(that was awesomeness!!!)
You didn't get fired did you?
