Hi Jenn. Cooked some sausage and fixed one egg to go with it. Good start so far. One step at a time.

Home from my walk. It's only 75 degrees but it is very, very humid and there is absolutely NO breeze out there. So I'm sweating like a pig and smell like one also. (sorry about that.)

We had such a good time yesterday at the party. Her house is about 100 years old and it comes with about 3/4 of an acre. The trees were huge and there was so much shade. We took along our folding chairs and sat outside the whole time. There was a nice gentle breeze and it was just lovely. We got to meet all of her friends and they were great. They acted like the had known us for years. It was great. I have noticed as I get older that I also get more mellow and tolerant. More accepting of things. Not that they don't shock me, I just handle it better. I think hubby is also getting that way too. He did great yesterday and made some new friends. Now it's off to California and on to our tattoed nephew. We haven't seen him in a really long time. A few years ago a couzin of mine said she found him on My Space, so I joined there and went and looked at his profile. Seriously, from his upper neck all the way down, he is tattoed. I know I will never have one bit I am intrigued by them. I'm looking forward to seeing him and checking out the tatts. Today is a lazy day. Will probably spend most of it swimming. I'm gonna go take a walk here soon and get that over with before it gets to hot. Tomorrow is pedicure day, I can't hardly wait. I haven't done any trimming thinking I would just wait. Now I know I really need one because when I walk I can feel them hitting. It's count down time to our trip. The spare room is getting loaded with things that we will be taking out with us. I told my niece last night it is going to look like we are moving in with them, lol. I'm looking forward to this trip. Have a great day and I will check in later.

Hey Jenn, are you still taking the classes for EMT (I think) training?

Hi Judy, thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back and join us every now and then. How's retirement going? And Bob?

Saturday morning and I'm up because it is my day to work. We had some really huge storms last night.No problems here but there were a few houses hit by lightning. Lots of water. Pool is full. We are going to an "Open House" today. A girl we work with moved into a place and she is having all her friends over. We really like her alot, she is very vocal and fun loving. She is also very openly gay, I mean VERY openly. Hubby is worried that he's going to see something that he shouldn't see. I told him that right now she doesn't have a girl friend but that her other friends may be there and to be prepared. I've been around it all my life and it doesn't bother me. He's an old country boy and has only seen stuff on tv. He'll be fine. It's not like they are going to be having sex right in front of us. lol, he's a goof ball. I'm thinking of super glueing my lips together. Do you think that doing that for about 2-3 weeks will get me started back on not shoving things into my mouth? I thought about having my mouth wired shut. But I've heard that people loose teeth that way. Just a thought. Have a good day.

Hey guys, It's raining here now. We really need it though. grass around here is brown. I worked a long shift and then went and got Sis and took her to the grocery store. It was pretty hot out there so I moved her along. Took her home and than came home and put my bathing suit on. Hubby and I got in the pool for about an hour It started to cloud up. I got a call from the second shift girl saying that the owner was there showing the place. We've known for a long time that she has the place on the market. Her and her husband want to move to Colorado. Hope she finds someone soon. Off to go make a pork chop casserole, hubby's favorite. Bye.

I just read on Yahoo that a player from the Philadelphia Eagles got a Lap-Band. First Football player that they know of that has one. He weighs in at 398 and said that after football he doesn't want to be that big and have heart problems and other things.

Michelle, I am keeping your Sis and her kids in my prayers. Good Luck to them.

Tracy, when it rains it pours??????? Poor knee, hope it gets to feeling better fast. And don't stress about the job, it will come when you are really ready for it. I got called into work for the morning. I have to get up at 5:30 to go in and work a 2 hour shift. Oh well, at least I will have the rest of the day off. Hi everyone.

Ok, She's officially a Big Girl now. Good thing- there were no tears. But I wonder how much sugar she had eaten, she was all hyped up. Too excited. It was funny.

Morning Girls. I went to bed at 12:30 and got up at 6am. I'll get my butt moving here soon, have to go catch the School Bus...... Today is Abby's first day in "K". So I'm gonna go pick my nephew up and go over to the Ex's to see Abby off to school. I'll be taking my camera so I will post later. Hubby and I had a great time last night. One of the reasons we went was becasue the temperature has really dropped here alot. We sat with the windows partially opened and it got a little cool. The movie was ok. Lots of explosions and guns going off. No twists or plots, just go in and kill as many as you can and get out alive. But it was just us being together all by ourselves that meant the most. There are actually 2 drive-in movies here. The one we went to has four screens and the other has 2 screens. Not sure how much longer they will be around. 3D is taking over and not sure you get as good of effects from drive-in. Kat, hope Kinsey is feeling better. So you're 50 now. Welcome to my world. Michelle, congrats on the big win. We play that a couple of times a year at church. I really wish I could find a group and play it more often. Tracy, I know you're still waiting for the phone to ring and I hope that it rings soon for you. Hang in there. Your time will come. You still getting in the pool? Terrie. Looks like we will be coming thru there right around the 14th. When we leave my brother's I will give Kat a call and then she can call you. We will be spending the night, so that will give us time to visit. OK, Off to go dry my hair and get ready for the Cheese Wagon, LOL. Have a great day.

Kat, it's so good to have you back. It sounds like you had a wonderful except for the two scary incidents. That is weird about Bob Dylan, wonder if it is true that he wasn't even there. Just glad you guys are home safe. Any problems with the house or the people that were doing crazy things before you left? Yesterday I went to see my Band Doc. I didn't even get to see him. Never did find out why but they rescheduled me for the 29th of Sept. I told them several times that I needed to speak to him about the Hiatal hernia. Well, I did get to see his assistant. She is actually the one that took the 4cc's out of my band 2 months ago. So the first thing they do is put you on the scale. I managed to gain 11 pounds. I was upset about it but not beating myself up. How can you lay in bed for weeks and not snack while watching TV. She told me that typically they see a 40 pound gain in people that went thru what I did. She said I did really good and that it won't take long for me to take that 11 off. She did say that I had been overfilled and she will not allow that to happen again. I did tell her that I felt so much better since the unfill. She gave me a little fill, not sure how much I didn't ask. But I could tell because I wasn't able to eat like crazy since then. She went over the guidelines again and showed me a new thing they have. It's a plate that's smaller than a regular dinner plate. It has these really pretty swirls on it but it also shows your portions. How much protein, veggies and fruit you should be eating at each meal. We actually talked for about 15 minutes. She really knocked me over the head without beating me up. I love it and am going to use what she talked to me about. We left there and went to Chili's to meet up with my friend. We sat there for about an hour and a half chatting and had a really good time. Hubby and I are going to go to the drive-in movies tonight. We are going to go see, yes a hubby movie. The Expandables. That will keep him happy for awhile. Went Bra hunting this morning. I wish that was so much easier to do. Nothing, so tomorrow I will be back at it again. Tomorrow is Abagail's first day at "K". So I am going over there to see her off on her very first Bus ride. She was so excited the other day telling me about going to school. Hope you all have a great day.

:lol:Happy Birthday to You. Happy Birthday to You. :cake:Happy Birthday Dear Kathy, :present:Happy Birthday to You. And Many More.:lol:

Well Tracy, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I called the Docs office first thing this morning because they were wanting to cancel my fill appointment. I told them no that I need to come in. I have an 11:15 appointment but not with the Doc. So i won't be able to talk to him about having the surgery. I'll talk to his nurse though and let her know that I would like to wait till about Oct. Then Hubby and I are driving over to chili's to meet my friend that I only get to see everytime I go to the Docs. She lives out that way. It sounds like she lives in another country when actually she only lives about 40 miles from here. But we always have such a good time and i enjoy our meetings. Yesterday Hubby and I started our new walking regime. The weather has really cooled off here for a few days so it is really nice to get out and walk. Plus I need to build my strength and endurance up for our trip. T&A, (tracy & angela), How long does it take to get from Dallas to your area? I think it is about a 9-10 hour drive from here to Dallas. Trying to figure out if we can do it in one day. Michelle, so glad you are feeling better. Cindy, You all ready for school? Be back after my appointment and lunch.

Tracy, Best of Luck today. I know you will do well. Put your charm on and dazzle them. Don't forget to post when you get home.

That's why I'm excited about the kids going back to school. I now have places to myself. Not that I don't like them. I like to watch a movie with out all the movement or talking. And definitely having to dodge kids at the mall. Tracy, if I have gotten hired with my weight, I know that you will too. Besides, your personality will overshadow your weight. Good Luck. The kids are on their way over to go swimming. I hate that they come so late on Sunday evening, but at least they are coming. Angela and Tracy, are you guys in the Houston area? For some reason I was thinking you guys were in the Dallas area.

Oh Tracy, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Isn't it weird though how that came about?? But I am wishing you luck. Michelle, so sorry about your migraine. I have never had one but I've had a few really bad headaches. I'll keep it right at that. Hope tomorrow brings a better day for you. Angela, That is too funny about you and Tracy running into each other. I'm working really hard at getting our schedule straight and I will let you guys know when and if I am on my way. Jenn, you having a good weekend. How as the concert?? Hubby and I had to run to the pool store, a hose sprung a leak. Came home and did some house and yard work and then got in the pool. Swam for little over an hour. Got out and got ready for church, came home and cooked some burgers on the grill. Now it's chill out time and to bed early. Hey Bethany, Hope your having a good day.

Bethany, that's why you need to come here no matter what. I went and had 4cc's taken out before my surgery and like you said. I found out real quick that the Fat Girl still lives in me. I actually ate a hamburger one day. I haven't had a hamburger since before being banded. But it's like I feel like I need to get in all the junk I can because when I go back for my fill next week, I won't be able to do that. It's a lot harder to do than I lead mysef to believe. I was hoping to have lost 30 pounds by the time we left for our vacation, as it is, I have gained about 7 pounds. I had set that goal back in the winter time knowing that I had time to lose it. Now I hang my head in shame. But I figure I'm still a lot smaller now then when all these people seen me last. Hang in there Bethany. Ok, off to the pool. Be back in a little bit.

Happy Friday the 13th. Home from the gym. I walked on the treadmill and did my stretches. I decided to get on the bike to see how it would feel. Did pretty good so I rode for about a quarter mile, I didn't want to over do it. Feeling pretty good. It's gonna be a hot one here today.We already have done some pool stuff getting it ready for the weekend. I'm gonna use it. Now it is off to take sis to go get her groceries. Have a good one today.

Hey Bethany, How are you doing. Glad to see you stopping by, we've missed you.

Hey Girls. Been sitting here for two days now. My ass is so sore. But I need to get this counted cross stitch done. I should finish up tonight or first thing in the morning. Good thing cause I still need to get in framed before we leave. Good thing is that I have gone thru a lot of movies and can erase them from the DVR. Cindy, do the get detention for being late to class because they had to wait in line for the bathroom? I hope they hurry as fast as they can get to the school finished. Another Hot one here today but they are calling for in the eighties for next week. Looking forward to it. We actually got in the pool last night as the sun was setting. It felt really good with the heat. Have a great day.

:w00t::musical_note:Happy Birthday to Macy:musical_note: And:present: Many:present: More

Tracy, are you asking me about L.A.? I was actually born there and lived there till I was 21 years old. Moved here to MO. and love it. I wouldn't move back for nothing. Hubby and I are going out there for a wedding and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be going. I have no desire to go back there again. I miss alot but this is home now. The movie I watched was called "Duplicity". I wasn't impressed with it. I fell asleep towards the end and woke up in time to watch the last 20 minutes of it. Hubby came out around 12:30 and we went swimming for about an hour. Now I'm gonna sit and sew for awhile. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Home from work, Hobby Lobby, Deals, and the Bank. Got my shoes off, a bowl of hot oatmeal and a movie on the DVR. I'm set.
