Suziecat

TracyK, sounds like my house. I no sooner get home and they all act like the world came to an end while I was gone and they didn't know how to stick their heads up their ass. I can cater to them 24 hours and than have one milli-second of my own and they are lost. Right now hubby is asleep in our room and sister is asleep downstairs. You'd think I was having it good. Well, it's really hard to type with a cat nipping at my elbow. Always someone wanting me. Good Grief. House is quite so I mopped the kitchen and dining room. I need to run the sweeper but will wait. Trying to get as much done as I can. Dancing with the Stars is on tonight and I'm watching it come hell or high water.

I actually stopped on the way home and bought a pair of jeans. Yes, me buying jeans. Now I have to take them back. I tried on wranglers and than I ended up grabbing a pair of Lee's. Got home and they are too long. It was a good try though. I got signed up for the walk and I think I'll put up a jar at work and collect donations. I'm looking forward to it. Tracy, I never did get around to asking you about your Mom the other night. Thanks for filling us in. Prayers to both of you. That extra shirt from the other night got put in the mail today. I hope the new girl likes it, I'll let her know soon that it is on it's way. I had one bite of Jane's brownies than cut the rest up and told hubby to hide his stash and gave the rest to my Sis. They were so good and I could have eaten the whole pan. I felt the best thing to do was out of sight- out of mind. :cry_smile: Great, now my tummy is growling. Kind of muggy here today so I turned the air-conditioner back on.

Up early for my morning shift. Yuck, hope she finds someone soon. I don't like getting up this early. Have a great day and I'll check in later.

Got the work done that I wanted to get done and now it's wind-down time. 4:30am comes awfully early. Janie called earlier and told me she still couldn't get on-line. She is having major computer issues. She said to tell you all "Hello" and that she is doing fine. She misses Tracy and I already. You're right, when we are not all here it just doesn't seem right. I hope all is ok with Haydee and her family. Are any of you up to sponsoring TracyinKs and I in the "Walk from Obesity"? We'll take any donations we can get. The walk is October 4th. (B-day reminder). I can send you the link if you are interested. Have a great evening.

TracyinKS, I went to Malley's website and signed up for the "Walk for Obesity". Now I just need to make sure that I get that day off work. I also went to his chatroom and put in a plea for everyone to sign-up. I hope we get a good showing for this.

Good Morning Girls. Kat, Kat, Kat. We were so relieved to have heard from you last night. We knew you were doing good but to just hear from you was what we needed. I'm still keeping you in my prayers and hoping you recover very fast. Laura, What are we gonna do with you? It sucks that you are going thru this ordeal. You should still be on cloud nine and enjoying the changes you and your body will be going thru. Take good care of yourself. Everyone, I'm not sure about Tracy and Jane but I had a wonderful time last night. You don't need to worry, even though it was an all-you-can-eat italian restaurant, we didn't eat all that we could. It just looked like it. We sampled everything and enjoyed it. At one point I thought Jane was trying to pick up on our waiter, just my imagination or hopeful thinking. There were quite a few construction workers staying at the hotel????? I'm hoping that this is just the beginning of us getting together more often. I guess I need to start getting my butt up to Leavenworth more often. Maybe a couple of trips to St Louis would do me some good. I'll post the pics when I get my sis to download them. Speaking of pics, Pam those were great. Such a cute couple. Loks like everyone had a great time. P.S. Susanne looked really good, sunshine does her well. I'm gonna have a lazy day today. Althought there are a few laundry things I want to do. Thinking about washing pillows and hanging outside to dry. Other than that, just taking it easy. Everyone have a great day. Hugs

Judy, Judy, Judy,,,,,,,, I got in the pool today. I came home from work and I was sitting there staring at it and just couldn't help myself anymore. I went and put my bathing suit on and got in. It was a little cool-84 degrees, b ut felt wonderful. I had about 15 minutes before my nephew showed up and I had to get out so they could take the steps out. That was so much fun. Now I'm sitting here all showered and cleaned. Think I'll doze a little in the chair till it's time to head out. I'm so excited. Everyone have a great evening and I'll post pics later. Hugs.

Tonight it was gravy. Gravy on the meatloaf, gravy on the mashed potatoes, gravy on the biscuits, green beans, apple pie and vanilla ice cream. And it all was wonderful. Than we took doggie for a walk. Normally we have ketchup but with it being hubby's b-day I got the gravy. I like ketchup when I make meatloaf sandwiches. Yummy. Gina, Peyton is so cute, love those ears.

Today is Hubby's birthday. He wants meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I already have it made, I just need to put it in the oven. I'm so happy about Kat. Everyone have a great evening.

I was in the grocery store picking out soups when my cell phone beeped me with a message. That was wonderful news about Kat. I'm so happy for her and Rick. TracyinKS, what's going on? I know at the moment that the chocolate frosty seems like it will take care of everything but it win't so just put it down becaus e I guarantee you that after you eat it you will hate yourself for it. Get some gum or lifesavers. I can hardly wait till tomorow evening. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to wear. I will be bringing my camera also. This is going to be so much fun. I have to work in the morning than we are going to close the pool. I'm so sad but the water temp is 68 degrees. Here's for an early warm spring. Pam, that sounds so lovely. Can't wait to see the pics. I miss the sounds and the smell of the ocean. I don't miss the sand in my food though. Have a great time. Tracy, Hope Macy gets to feeling better soon. Have a great evening.

Judy, Thanks for the phone call, several times while I was talking to you I thought I was talking to my Aunt. You sound alot like her and I could hear in your voice the kindness that she has in hers. Thank You for keeping me in the loop. Getting ready for my 6am - 1pm shift today. Sure hope they find a replacement soon. I'm pooped. Everyone have a great day. Hugs, Suzanne.

Got home from our hospital shift. We were really busy tonight. We enjoy going so much but we are very tired by the time we get home. Didn't get to take doggie walking today so don't know if the Hawk was waiting for us. Kat, You have all my prayers going with you. I will be keeping you in my mind till I hear from one of the Vi's. TracyinKS, you have my cell #. I will be busy mowing grass at the church all day tomorrow, so just send me a text and I will get back with you as soon as I can. Is Robby coming Saturday? Hope so, I would like to meet him. Dr. Oz says there is no exercise pill. #@%& *&^% $%#@ Weather has been beautiful here but we are going to close the pool this weekend. I'm so sad, my tan is already fading. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an early spring. So Saturday night we aren't pigging out???????? All right, I guess. No really, that's good. I still need to keep on track. I'm so looking forward to a great evening. Jane, don't forget to bring Cross Stitch I gave you. I will help you with it. I'll bring some of my stuff to show you. Have a great one and am sending Purple Power to all my girls that need it.

Got home from my evening shift and fixed me a salad. It was delicious. I have to work at 6am and than have an appointment to get a oil change and tire rotation. Than a few free hours and than our shift at the hospital. Went to my weigh in this morning and lost. Not much but it was a loss. I'll work a little better on it this week. I have been really good at exercising, it's just the snacking that I've done to much of. Today was so beautiful and after my running around this morning I came home and told ubby I was going to take doggie for a walk. He decided to join me and off we went. We ended up walking thru a new sub-division that they have put the roads in and the electrical. There are four new gorgeous homes there. Anyway we were just walking along and hubby told me to keep an eye on doggie, I was thinking that there was a stray dog hanging around and he said "no, look up". Sure enough, circleing overhead was a hawk. I reeled doggie in and had him about 5 feet in front of me. We watched the hawk and he just circled. Finally after about a minute he took off. He was either eye-balling doggie or he was telling us that we were in his territory and we need to leave. Not sure I will take that route again. So, is this one big orgy we are having. One big love-fest. My hubby knows that I talk to you everyday and he knows almost as much about you all as I do. I tell him alot. Anyway, he would never think that I would put you guys before him but he also knows that I need to do what I can to help ease my weight loss. You guys are instrumental in this journey I am taking. I trust all of you to guide me and to listen to my good times and my bad times. Thank you for being there when I need you. Jenn, I'm still motivated and execising like crazy. I plan to keep going as long as my feet keep me going. Have a great evening. Big Hugs to all of you.

Kat, That's amazing. I never would have thought that that could happen. How weird. It does give you something to think about though. Boy, I'm not sure I could give up my band but I'm not in your position. Good Luck through all of this. I will keep you in my prayers. Getting ready to call it quits. I'm pooped. This getting up at 4:30am is for the birds. I hope they hire someone soon to take this morning shift. I want to ge back to my old shift. Have a great evening and I'll talk at ya tomorrow.

6 days till I meet up with Jane and Tracy and Robby. :tt1:

Afternoon Everyone. Hey HH. Good to hear from you. I've been busy as a dog today. Started work at 6 am. and than went to Sister's to help her with some Insurance stuff. Came home and started in mowing the grass, than put chemicals in the pool. I varnished a shelf that I had stained yesterday, took doggie for a small walk. came back and switched my summer flags to Autumn flags than went and swept the pool. And just a few other little things inbetween. Tracy, That's funny about packing the clothes. I probably would have done the same thing. Hope you have power when you get home. Kat, My Doc said that if you had a slipped band that you wouldn't even be able to swallow your spit. Keeping my fingers crossed all works out for you. We have had the most beautiful day here today. If no one got out to enjoy it I feel sorry for them. I know that with all that has gone on in the last few days with the hurricane that I don't have anything to complain about but we had 3 days of rain. Rain and more rain. Somewhere over 6 inches. So this morning when the Sun came out you should have seen my happy dance. I was ready to take off and walk forever. It's so pretty here. Everyone have a great evening.

Good Morning. So glad to hear the good news about out Texas Gals. Hope the news remains good. Waiting to see what Tracy finds when she gets home. It has finally stopped raining. We've gotten around 6 inches in the last 3 days. You should see the mushrooms in our front yard. It's gonna take a few days for the yard to dry up enough so we can cut it and this is also our week to cut the grass at the Church. Yesterday I spent almost all day sewing. I'm just about finished with my Aunt's Christmas present. I have a few more projects to go and I'm done than. I also decided to make a breakfast casserole and it is now in the oven cooking. House smells wonderful. Here it is. Cook up 2lbs of suasage and drain well. Take flour tortillas and fill each one with a spoonfull of suasage. Sprinkle with cheese and roll up not to too tight. Place in a casserole dish. Scramble 8 eggs with milk and pour over tortillas. Sprinkle a little more cheese and cover with foil. Leave in refridgerator over night. Next morning heat oven to 350 and than bake for 45 mins, approx. Remove foil. Sprinkle with a little more cheese and bake for another 5 mins. Pretty good stuff, You'll like it. Tracy, Sorry I missed the meeting. I'm gonna work on getting my shift changed so I don't have to work those Saturdays. I am looking forward to seeing you and Robby and Jane next weekend. Everyone have a great day. Hugs to all.

Terry, So good to hear from you. Hopeing that you stay safe till Ike is gone. I'm keeping all of you in my prayers. Pam, That is awful. Your poor friends. Rain, Rain, Rain and Rain somemore. We aren't getting pelted like Texas but it has rained for 2 straight days now and it's still supposed to rain all day today and into tomorrow. It's so humid and sticky. I'm up early because I have to work this morning. I don't have to go in till 8am so that's good. No 6am like rest of the week. Big Texas hug to all my Girls down south. Hang tough.

Rain, rain, rain and more rain. But I'm not going to complain. I'm going to put all my energy into praying that my "T" Vi's are safe. I'm so scared for all of you and hope you all stay safe. We got the garage done and I vaccummed out my car. Went to my staff meeting and than the grocery store. Just laying around catching up on some show I hav recorded. 9 more days till the meet-up with Jane and Tracy.

Good Morning. It's overcast and threatening to rain. They are calling for it for the next five days or so. Kat, that was the saddest story till I got to the end. What a lovely story and I wish them all the luck in the world. I will keep them in my prayers. TracyinKS, that just cracked me up. I didn't think people washed their kids mouths out with soap any more. I remember when my Mom couldn't find the liquid dish soap, she would take a bar of soap and scrape it across out teeth. OMG. Trying to get out from between your teeth was awful. Thanks for bringing back the memories. LOL. Hubby and I are going to work in the garage today. We need to make a spot for the pool equipment. It's the stuff we can't store outside for the winter. It's days like today that make things hard for me. I don't have enough stuff to keep me busy around the house here to keep me away from the kitchen. When I'm at work there is no food. So Thursdays are a struggle for me. I just need to keep an eye on myself and when I feel pulled to the refridgerator I need to turn around and go find some sewing or something to do. Keeping my Texas Gal's in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to all.

Just got home from our shift at the hospital. We had so much fun tonight. Not overly busy and everyone was relaxed and in good moods. Lots of luaghs tonight. Tomorrow is my day off but I have a staff meeting right in the middle of the day. Oh well, at least I get paid for it. About my new pic. We are doing this thing at work were we take peoples pictures and than we put them on a card and they fill out something interesting about themselves. We than hang the cards up on the wall for everyone to read. Some of them are pretty interesting and I am finding out things I did not know about some of the girls. Well one of them said that if they were getting their picture taken that I should have mine taken also. So I gave her the camera and that picture is what you see. She did a pretty good job, the only thing is there some glare on my glasses. Otherwise I like the pic. Doing pretty good on my eating. Seems like this fill I got Monday is really working right now. I'm able to eat but I have noticed that it doesn't hardly take much to get me full. My problem is with the drinking right now. I'm just not getting in what I should. TracyK, We have room here for all of you. Kat, you ae wearing my out. Laura, maybe you could put together a tea party for the get-together. 10 days till I get to see Jane and Tracy. Have a good one.

I've never seen "The Notebook". I've had people tell me about it. Baby Boom, American President and Dave are all ones I love to watch over and over.

Hey Terry, Sending you lots of hugs. Hang in there.

Jane, that is too funny. That happens to Hubby all the time. I rub it into him. Home from work and fixed hubby's dinner. I ate about 5 crackers and a few bites of his dinner. Going to bed here pretty soon, I have to get up early tomorrow. Long day ahead of me. Have a great evening.

"Do Not seek the treasure" That is from one of my all time favorite movies. Oh, Brother. Where art thou. Love, Love, Love, that movie. George Clooney was a hoot.
