Judy, So pretty. I love the snow. Tonya, Keeping all of you in my prayers. Poor thing. Laura, You are making me look bad with the gift already being sent. My person probably won't get theirs till the 24th. LOL. Off to work. I'm doing most excellent on my eating. You guys would be very proud of me. Have great rest of the day.

Yesterday I started my day at 3:30am. I opened the north store at 6am and left there at 8am. Stopped by Sonic and got a route 44 iced tea with lemon and went and started work at the south store. 8:30 to noon. Went home and read mail and ate a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and pineapple. Took a shower and got dressed to go to our shift at the hospital. But first I had an appointment with the Kidney Doctor at 2:30. Left there and went and worked at the hospital till 8pm. I was extremely tired last night. Wiped out. Kat and Denise, Thank you for the touching words of encoragement. It brought a tear to my eyes, knowing that people do care. I need all the help I can get as this is a lot harder than just having surgery. It's that we have had to learn a whole new life style and those days of old are gone. No more eating the bag of doritos. No more big bowls of ice cream. I know I can still have those things, just in moderation. I will never deprive myself but I'm not going to gorge myself again. Although sometimes I feel like I push the limit with my band sometimes. My younger sis and I are going shopping for most of our Thanksgiving food today. I have a few hours before I have to go into work, so I'm taking this time to get some things ready. Everyone have a great day and HUGS to all of you.

NO Raisins or Oysters in my dressing. YUCK.

Judy, I'm jealous of your snow. Can't wait till we get ours.

Good Evening. I sent all of you an e-mail. Let me know if you didn't recieve it. Sorry it's so long. TracyK, Hope your feeling better. Michelle. I'm very sorry about your friend and her family. Yes, it's a very bad time of the year for them to have to go thru something like that. Have a great evening.

Home from my evening shift. I'll have a super busy day tomorrow. So I'm going to go to bed right after DWTS. The girl that works the second shift the rest of the week called this evening. Sunday night as her husband was leaving work, someone beat the crap out of him and he's in bad shape. They didn't rob him because he still had his wallet on him. He had gashes all over his head and both hands were broke. They did surgery and put pins in his hands. She said that it looked like they tied his hands behind his back because he had red marks around his wrist. He's still unconcius (sp?0). I told her I would take her shifts for her and not to worry about work. She's going to have her hands full. Police still don't know anything yet. Not sure what is going on with the tummy today. I have not eaten very much and really don't feel like having dinner. I had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. A half a grilled cheese and a bowl of soup. And a handful of peanuts for a snack. Just don't feel like having anything. Have a great evening. Bye.

Hubby and I just got back from taking doggie on a walk. We went 1 1/4 around the neighborhood. It's really bitter with the wind blowing so it kept the sweating down. 34 degrees with a wind chill. Feeling a little bit better today. Had a long talk with Hubby and told him what Doc had said. I'm now just waiting on some phone calls. I'll write it all out and send a message to you all. Give me a few days though. I'm still working some stuff out in my head. By Golly, I'll get those scales to move again. Jane, If you leave at 9:00, I'll wait till 9:30. I'm sure my foot is a little heavier than yours. I got a coupon in the mail today for Bath & Body Works to get a free gift. It's good for Nov. 24 - Dec 24. Do you think they might let me use it on the 23rd.? I'll bring it, if they don't I'll just let you keep it. I don't really go near there very often. I can't wait to see the cross stitch. I'm looking forward to starting it also. I just thought it was to pretty. Looking forward to seeing you Sunday. TracyKS, Are you sure you and Robby can't ride with me??? Pam, Hope your feeling better. Terri, Are you doing any better??? Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning. Last night I posted and than I could not get back on. I tried for about an hour and than went to bed.

Home from a very long day and I'm pooped. Doc appointment didn't go to well. Ok, good news is that I didn't gain any. Bad news is that I didn't lose any either. We had a good long talk about what is going on. He has so much faith in me. I'll PM you guys and let you know what we talked about. Hope it does me some good. Than I went and met my friend and we sat at the restuarant for about 4 1/2 hours. They were so nice to let us sit and talk all that time. We enjoyed a really good evening and can't wait till next month. I just took a Benadryl and am headed to bed. Sleep tight and I'll chat with you tomorrow. Hugs.

Looks like I need to go spend the day with Jane and give her a crash course on computer stuff. LOL Up and getting ready to start my long day. I go into work, leave there and go pick Sis up and take her to a Doc appointment. Than take her to the store. Take her home and than I leave to go to KS to my Doc visit. No fill for me today, just need to quit putting things into the abyss. Than over to my friend that lives a few miles from the Doc's office. I'll get home around 7pm tonight. Eveyone have a great day and I'll talk to you later. Be Good.

Terri and Jane, The other night I was watching Ugly Betty and Wilemina was wearing a pair of earrings just like the pair Jane got from Terri.

I just checked another website and it said I burned 522 calories. I like this website better.

Crap, I just spent 45 minutes mowing the yard and came in here and looked up how many calories I burned. 175 calories. That sucks big time. Oh well. I feel better anyway. And most important, the yard looks good. I also put some hamburgers and suasages and hot dogs on the grill. They smell so good right now. Sun is shining and it's 57 degrees out so thought I would do it. Jane. I pay $40 for a haircut alone. Haircut and highlights is $80. I may start driving to you and let you do my hair and save a few bucks. LOL. Kat, I invited my Sis over for Thanksgiving and she is bringing the green bean casserole(easy for her to do). My other sis and her hubby will be here. 5 in all. I didn't invite the kids because the last few years I have and I did alot of cooking and when they came over no one ate. They all claimed they had to eat over at someone else's. So this year I am not asking them over to eat, they can come over to visit though. If they are hungry they can snack here. I need to go burn some more calories. Talk to you later.

Sitting here watching my "loser" team play. I still love them anyway. I'm not making good food choices today. Still can't get my head in the game. It wouldn't be so bad with the bad food choices but I'm eating too many of them. And I have a Doc appointment tomorrow, I'm afraid he is going to be disappointed again in me. I know I am. Sun is shining so when the game is over with I'm going to go cut grass. Get a little exercise with that. Maybe get up the gumption to go for a walk later today. I didn't really put down at the beginning what I wanted form my SS. I like surprises. I went ahead and listed a few things just to make it a little easier for my SS.

I'm up again. That felt good to get another few hours of sleep. Sun is shining now and it's supposed to get up to about 50 degrees today. Lovely. Oops forgot to mention what I like. Well, let's see. I like cats but don't send me anymore. I have 3 already. I love food but that is how I ended up having to get the band. I still love food though. But don't send me any of that either. I'm pretty easy to buy for. I do like floral scents. A nice winter scarf and gloves. A pair of those socky things that have the no-skids on the bottom. Bracelets. I wear them alot. I like the County Time lemonade packets for bottles. Orbit bubble gum. This might be hard to find this time of year but we do have the pool, so a beach towel. Anything from the region you live in, like a t-shirt (3x). I collect spoons. I hope this helps you out. Hopefully later today I will be able to get out and cut the grass. This will be the last time for the year. I need to mulch the leaves while I'm at it. Have great a day.

Movie is over so I'm heading back to bed. Judy, sounds like you had a great time shopping and got some good deals. I need to get around to doing some shopping. Need to find the time first. TracyK. That's a good idea about letting everyone know. I will let everyone know that my gift will not be sent till about the 15th of December. For one thing, I'm not done sewing yet. Off to bed. Everyone have a great day and make good choices.

up and still watching the movie. Getting tired though.

Woke up at 4:30 and decided not ot fight it. I'm watching a movie on LMN. Will probably be headed back to bed soon. Jane, That would be fine. I think Hubby waited at the Appleby's by Best Buy's. We could meet there and than look for another place if you want. Sitting here in the computer room and about an hour ago I saw a tow truck go down our street. About 10 minutes later he came back by with a car behind him. Must be a repo, why else would someone be towing that early in the morning. Be back later.

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my specialty. My family loves when I make them. Super busy day here today but right now I'm sitting in my chair with a fire in the fireplace and my blanket waiting for me to cover up with. It's 32 degrees and we had snow flurries earlier today. I was out running around while it was doing that. Now home safe and warm. I took celexa for about 4 months after my Mom passed away. Just needed a little something to help me thru my sadness and it worked. I started to ween myself off after about 4 months. I'm even thinking I might try going back on them for awhile. Jane, are we set for next weekend?? Meet you around 10:30-11;00 at the same place we met before?? My christams stuff won't go up till about 2 weeks before the holiday. My Father passed away during the holiday and so it doesn't caring the same upbeat feeling for us. We tend to now focus more on that it is Christ's birthday and what that means for us. The commercial part of it just doesn't do it for us anymore. I don't mean to bring anybody down and am sorry for that. It's just that we lost a huge part of our lives. TracyK, What a find. Lucky you. Pam, Get to feeling better soon. Back to my fire, have a great evening.

Good Morning Girls. Sitting here watching the news and they are calling for snow tomorrow. Just slightly, a dusting. Yikes. Terri, Glad to have you back. We missed you. I know what you mean about having your feelings hurt. It's happened to me and I just needed to give myself a kick in the butt and get over it. I tend to hold things in and they sit and fester. I just have to stop being a brat and realize people don't always see things my way. That's what makes us all special. Even you. TracyKS, What did the doc have to say?????? Maybe a day with Jane and Suzie is all you need???????LOL?????? Sure you and Robby can't go with us? Denise, Have a safe weekend and we will miss you. Off to work for 6 hours. I'll be back around noon. Hugs to you all.

Good Morning Girls. Woke up to a beautiful sight. The sun is shining like crazy. I love it. Busy day for me. Sis has a doc appointment than I have a staff meeting than I have to take the car in to have work done on it. While I'm over by the car dealership I plan to get some shopping done also. Than I have my Tai Chi class tonight. When I'm busy like that I find I am at my best on the eating. I'm also doing real good at the nothing to eat till 9am. If I eat to early in the morning it sets up a bad eating patern for me. I feel like there is too much time between meals and than I start to do the snacking. Everyone have a great day and I will check in when I can. Hugs to you all.

Add a string cheese to my list of food.

I thought about writing in a journal this morning. Does that count??? I've had oatmeal and a handful of pretzels so far today. I know tonight I will be having a salad. Hopefully that will be all I shove into the big abyss.

Home and relaxing. Doing some laundry and catching up on some recorded shows. Cold and wet here. I'm ready for the sun to come out tomorrow. Can't hardly wait.

Tracy, You can bring Robby. I was thinking of him last night and remembering you imitating him from when I took him down to brush creek. About him NOT falling in. Too funny. If not, we will miss you.
