Morning, Sitting here in my Motel 8 room sharing a 1/4 of a bagel with hubby. I'm all showered and dressed and packed, just waiting to go meet up with cousins before we hit the road home. The wedding was really nice and the reception was fun. They had these little things called Tooters. They are shots of I'm guessing Vodka. Different flavors and I had to try all of them to decide which one I liked the best. They all tasted nasty but it took me 8 to finally figure that one out. So far no hang over this morning. I have a Doc appointment tomorrow and I can just see the look on his face. It ain't gonna be good. But I do have a new resolve. My niece in Calif. is getting married next Sept. That and with Haydee's wedding coming up will give me the incentive to get my ass in gear. Ok, time to check out of the hotel. I'll see ya all later today.

Hi, Up and trying to get my butt moving. We'll be leaving about 8:30 to head south. It's about a 3 hour drive for us. Wish me luck with the wedding cake. Jenn good luck with the 1 pound but no matter what, you have done awesome. Kat, how is your SIL doing? Is she having any more problems with her eating and her fills? Everyone have a great weekend and I'll check in when we get to the hotel.

Home from work. The sun finally came out after several days of hiding. So I fired up the grill and cooked some hamburgers. Yummy, yummy. The rest of the night belongs to laundry and a few things around the house. Have a good one.

Getting ready to call it quits for the day. Did a little bit better on my eating today. I still suck at this though. Sleep tight everyone.

Roller Coaster ride here today. My younger sisters BFF in the whole wide world and who is also like a Sister to both of us has a husband that is on the Liver Transplant list. Last night Hubby woke me up and sayed that they had a call that a liver was available and for them to start getting ready. As luck would have it they were already in the St. Louis area for a Doc appointment. So my Sis and I were getting packed and ready to drive to St. Louis when we got the call that the liver was a no go. They had him in the OR ready to be put out when they told him. Luckily we hadn't left yet but they had to call home and have their son put on Amtrack. So they are waiting for him to arrive before they head home. What a horrible nightmare for them. I'm all stressed out and just sick to my tummy about it. Not just for them but also that someone had just lost their life. To families going thru so much. Please keep all of them in your prayers. Janie, I hadn't called you yet to tell you we were coming. I was going to kind of wait till we got checked in to the hotel and than see what my time line was. Didn't know if we would be able to meet up real quick.

Home from our hospital shift and boy was it a wild one. My feet are killing me right now. Good thing I have this Band, otherwise I would weigh 600 pounds right now.

Did you get your e-mail from TracyKs? Poor girl.

Morning Girls. I hope everyone has a great day. I'm off to work.

Jenn, That is so awesome. I admire your strength. Home from work and very tired. I actually got in the pool today and did exercises. It felt so good. I'm glad I enoyed it because it's only going to be in the 70's the rest of the week. I miss summer already.

Laura, I never had any and yet they are back. Hubby and I should be enjoying peace and quiet in his retirement days and yet we have a housefull. Enjoy him and don't wish it away.

I'm up and that's about it. I went to bed a little earlier than usual and slept, just not a solid sleep. So it will be a draggy day for me. Oh well. Kat, I'll post the recipe later tonight. It's a very easy make. Have a great day everyone.

I love going to Fair's. We go alot. I made a chicken burrito casserole for dinner tonight and the guys raved over it. I did think it was pretty good. Not diet food but still good. Took my nephew to his NA meeting and I sat in the parking lot and did my Bible class homework. It was nice and peaceful there and I could concentrate. Got almost all of it done. Semi-busy day tomorrow. Hopefully it will get warm enough to get in the pool for a little while. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Welcome back Pam. I loved going camping, just can't talk hubby into it. He's motel kid of guy. My Aunt and cousin came over to go swimming. They had a great time. I just found it still too cool to get it. The pool temp was 85 degrees but the outside temp is 77. Just a little too cool for me. I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open.

A day at the Fair.

Morning Girls. We got home around midnight and went straight to bed. It was a long day.We had a blast, just the two of us. It was nice for a change. Anyway, the concert started at 7:30 and was over with at 10:30. It was so much fun. We had a group of good people around us. As I was walking around the Fair grounds one thing kept coming to my mind. I'm so glad I'm not the sideshow attraction anymore. One more reason to love my band. Now, hopefully for some swim time today, if the pool will heat up enough.

Morning Girls. Another absolutely beautiful day here again today and I'm really glad. We are headed to the State Fair in a couple of hours. It's only supposed to get up to 79 degrees so that will make it a real nice time for us. And yes, I'm going to share a funnel cake with hubby. I'm keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. It seems like there is a lot of struggling going on and I'm praying that God will show the way and make it a smooth path for all. Hugs to all.

Morning. Up and getting ready to take my nephew to court. He goes before the judge today about his ticket. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we did our homework and he is all ready. Than it's come home and change clothes and go finish cutting grass at the church. Should only take us about 4 hours. We have the weather on our side. It's only supposed to get up to 79 today. I'm one happy girl. Everyone have a great day. Mkae wise choices and drink your water.

The weather here is beautiful and the report is that we won't see 90 degrees till next Tuesday. I wish I could share this with all of you. What a great day to be outside. Speaking of being outside. Hubby and I just got back from cutting grass at the church. We'll head back there tomorrow to finish cutting. With all the rain we have gotten in the last week the grass is overgrown. Great exercise. Not sure what to fix for dinner, might just fix me a bowl of oatmeal and fix the hubby a sandwich.

Laura, I'm so sorry for all that you are going thru. What a mess. I'm wishing you luck on getting it all taken care of. TRACYS BACK. WOOT-WOOT Janie, cool air is coming your way. It's 75 degrees here right now and absolutely beautiful out. Just like a spring day. Hubby and I are off to go cut grass at the church.

Good morning. Up and at it. I have to take my Sis to her Doc appointment and than grocery shopping. It's only supposed to get to 80 degrees today. We had a storm go thru last night and it brought a cold front with it. So the low 80's for the next 4-5 days and nothing but sunshine. I'm very happy about this since we are going to the State Fair this weekend and seeing Brooks and Dunn. I'm ready. I haven't gotten on the scale yet this morning. I need to go do this. Keeping my fingers crossed. I've been working real hard on this the last few days. Keeping my mind busy on other stuff besides food. Realizing that just becasue I want to eat doesn't mean I need to eat. Huge difference there. It's CTCD, so everyone try real hard. Have a good one.

Laura, How did your appointment with the fill Doc go today? I called AT&T around noon to report some problems we were having with our phone and they attempted to fix it thru the line but eventually decided they had to send some one out. So around 3pm here he comes. Turns out he had to redo all of the phone lines and all of the u-verse lines. And he also installed all new u-verse boxes and DVR. He was a real delightful guy and turns out he knows my cousin real well from AT&T. He also noticed that the other guy had not hook my TV up to HD. Heck, I didn't even know my tv had HD. WOW, it's amazing to watch tv now. So, needless to say, we didn't make it to the hospital tonight. We stayed home and actually watched tv while it is storming out. We can do that know with fiber-optic. No more worrying about loosing tv when it rains or snows. Off to bed, see ya all in the morning.

Michelle, I'm just an eater. It doesn't matter the situation, I eat. But I have noticed lately with all the stress that I have caught myself standing in the kitchen with the cupboards open looking for anything I can just snack on. Right now my will power is knowing that I have a weigh-in in 2 weeks. I guess just knowing that I don't want to disappoint my Doc, keeps me focused. Hang in there. You'll figure it out. But you do need to put yourself first, I'm finding that out dealing with an addict in my house. Keep your chin up.

Michelle, Keeping all of you in my prayers. Stay strong. Jane, I get up at 4:30 to start to get ready for work. I have to be there and up and running by 6am. Otherwise I would still be snoring in bed. Think I'll take a quick nap before I head into the hospital to work.

Wednesday morning and I'm up again, dragging my fanny but not too bad. I have a little bit of running around to do after I get off work, than I'll come home and rest for a little before we go to do our hospital shift. Everyone have a great day.

Welcome back Judy and Jenn, we missed you guys. I'm home from work, not really busy tonight but I got a lot of cleaning done. Nothing to eat till after I give blood tomorrow morning. I'm supposed to go every 3 months but i forgot to go last month. Oh well. Good news is Hubby won't have surgery. The Doc said he would rather try PT on him first. So that was good news. Now 4 weeks 3 times a week he has to go to the Therapist. Watching my favorite show right now. "Unwrapped".
