1.)   Do you play any musical instruments? I ussed to. I was a drummer in highschool, I did it for
8 years and by the time I graduated I was lead drum captain and had the ability to play every percuaaion instrument available.. Now it is a rock band thing LOL Can anyone say...red red red blue yellow red LOL
2.)  Do you have any talents/ wish you had a certain talent? I wish I could sing,paint and just be overall talented...I do have a knack for talking to people and getting them to open up easily, I rather enjoy  it too...

3.)  Victories/Struggles this week? did the 5 DPT and failed. Scale said I was down to 124 but now it is back to 127. Still struggling with my knee and headed to see MY pcp this afternoon to talk to him about it.

4.)  Plans for the weekend? HARRY POTTER of course LOL.. Other than that nothing.

Cindy,
I can take over the Just for Fun posts but  dont seem to get as much of a response that you do LOL... I enjoy trying to come up with questions.

Stacey, you have done an awesome job in the past with the questions.   Some weeks we get more responses than others.  Jody has also volunteered to help out..... so maybe you 2 can get together and work a plan out.  I'll rest easy knowing Im leaving it in good hands with you 2   :)     Thanks again!  HUGS!!   Cindy

 wow, what a busy time for you!  even though they are good things, the stress of them can be huge.  take care of yourself during this time, hon.  congratulations on the  grandbaby on the way!  and the new home.  AND, the new size!

1) i dont play any musical instruments, unfortunately.  i had one year of piano as a child and begged to give it up.

2)  i love to sing, and am now in a singing group!  i'm amazed by this because i am very shy.  people always tell me they love my voice after we do a gig, so i'm feeling better about going on stage.

3)  victories...  oh, well i told the woman i volunteer for that i was taking a personal day yesterday!  thats a huge accomplishment for me!     struggles...  my nerves are way up with my surgery only 2 weeks away.  sleeping is difficult and my belly is nervous.

4)  my plans for the weekend are to stock up on things i need for my pre-op diet, stay in the hospital, and my recovery at home.  i'm excited to be having some time with hubby to get all the supplies i need!

hope everyone has a fun weekend!

How exciting Cindy!!  I'll be swinging something for you too!!

1.)   Do you play any musical instruments? No, never really interested in any.

2.)  Do you have any talents/ wish you had a certain talent? I used to oil paint, like Ava I haven't in a long time, maybe someday I will get back to it.  I wish I could learn to sew, hope to take a learn to sew class sometime too.

3.)  Victories/Struggles this week? Victories, I have "almost" completed my first week of new 4-day exercise plan (going to run/walk at lunch).  That is new for me, and I like it.  Struggles, continue to get nighttime munchies, and give in too often.

4.)  Plans for the weekend?  Going to clean house tomorrow, my daughter & I will then stay over my sisters house and going with her to Cape Cod Sunday to spend the day at the beach with my Aunt, cousins, and all their kids.  My daughter is an only child, so this will be a blast for her!

Sounds like you're going to be one busy person the next few months.  Hope all goes well with baby and house.


1.)   Do you play any musical instruments? I have no talent there

2.)  Do you have any talents/ wish you had a certain talent? I like to knit--not to the talent stage yet

I wish I could paint like AVA but that creative side of my brain didn't develop like the analytical side.

3.)  Victories/Struggles this week? Doing great with my exercise/ 
                                                               working on eating less carbs and healthier foods

4.)  Plans for the weekend?  Get my hair highlighted and nails done Saturday
                                                    Have lunch on Sunday with a former co-worker
                                                    Exercise , clean house, laundry and ironing
Pretty much shoots a weekend.  (I usually try to fit in way too much in two days)

Lin - did you ever sell your house in WI?
 

Jody:

We did sell our house.  It was only on the market about 6 weeks.  Someone who had grown up
in our neighborhood was looking to relocate back and they said we had the best house they had seen in the area.  We closed June 1.  DH is renting a cheap basement appt while still working at the U of W.  Not sure yet when he will come out.  We have a home in Wisc Dells we'll keep for now and he goes there on the weekends.

1.)   Do you play any musical instruments?
No, musical talent here.

2.)  Do you have any talents/ wish you had a certain talent?
I don't have any specific artistic talent, but I like to think I'm good with people.

3.)  Victories/Struggles this week?
The candy dish at work has been a struggle this week. I'm trying to pretend it isn't there.  I've done very well with my workouts.  I had a day trip to Houston and didn't eat as well as I hoped.  I need to plan better when the eating schedule isn't up to me.

4.)  Plans for the weekend
This should be a quiet weekend for us.  DH is running a 5K tonight in prep for his November Half Marathon.  We've got plans with friends on Saturday night, but nothing during the day.  Massages Sunday morning and pool time in the afternoon. 

 1.)   Do you play any musical instruments?

I have taken lessons on clarinet and taught myself recorder, piano and guitar. However, I never got very far with any of them. I don't play anything now.

2.)  Do you have any talents/ wish you had a certain talent?

My sense of time is excellent. People ask me what time it is and I always know even if I haven't looked at a clock in a while. Also, I can program computers.

3.)  Victories/Struggles this week?

I'm still trying to get on a regular eating schedule. I find myself  living on protein bars instead of making meals and eating the kinds of snacks I would eat at work. I'm also having issues paying the bills. I didn't get an unemployment check this week but a notice that  they are going to send me a debit card in the next couple of days instead of a check. It will be cool not to have to deposit my check all the time but I need the money TODAY to pay a certain bill. 

4.)  Plans for the weekend?

I'm going up to Santa Rosa for a race. Mandatory meeting on Sat., stay with an OH friend that night, and then race on Sunday.
