Funny about Llewelyns, there is one about 1/2 a mile from the shop. I have only eaten there a couple of times, never had there Wellington.

I hope you are feeling better both Tracy's!!!!!!

Good Morning Girls.

Up and trying to get ready for work. I usually work only 2 hours but my boss is on vacation, so I'm taking her shift and will end up working 6 1/2 hours. More money for my payheck. lol. And we have our shift at the hospital tonight also. Long day for me.

I posted yesterday but it got lost. Wasn't anything important.

Another cool day here. We turned our AC off last week and it will stay off for a few more days. This just doesn't feel like July.

Everyone have a great day.

Good morning, Violets..

Suzie.. I too had a long post last night that disappeared so I gave up and went to bed. So frustrating!

I'm up and going to get ready to head to Mio for the funeral. More info has surfaced and now the State police say Josh could not have killed himself so they are investigating the cousin. He just finished boot camp. I can't imagine the guilt he is going to deal with the rest of his life and I certainly hope he doesn't become a soldier with all of that on his mind. He's 18 and his life will never be the same.

I'm driving over by myself and just staying for the funeral, not the internment or luncheon.

It's 63 and looks like a funeral day.. dreary and cloudy. I got a little sun yesterday and hope to get some more this afternoon when I get back.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I have my eating under control again.. at least for the last two days. Soup has been my friend. I only pb'd one meal and that was because I ate a couple of crackers before my soup arrived yesterday. Live and learn.

Be good to yourselves, ladies.

Yes Kat, when I was pregnant (both times, actually) I had severe sciatic pain/issues... so it might be that... I seriously think it could be the extra lbs I've packed on this summer... causing the nerve to be pinched... I'm hoping that getting back in the groove w/eating properly & exercise will help. My right hip is a totally different pain to it & has been all year... the kids call it my "old lady hip"... lovely. Getting old sux.

My weight loss goal is a doozy -- to get to -100 (from my original pre-surgery weight) by our Disney trip in September! That leaves me with 30 to go in a little over 2 months! :thumbup:

I second what Judy said above... everyone be good to yourselves today!!

Good Morning~

I am so happy...I slept from 9-7!!! I needed it, but I now have a sore throat. Oh well!

Yesterday we ran around and ended up going to Borders (spent WAY too much $). Now I am excited for relaxing today...reading and chilling!

I am getting my fill back today. I was supposed to last week, but I puked sooo hard the night before (like soooo not a PB) that I cancelled. I have done my best to abuse the open band for two days (i will spare you the details) and am ready for some restriction again. I have no fllight plans anytime soon.

I have not worked out yet. I woke up at 4.30 yest and was ready...but didn't! I know that once I do, I'll feel better...but it wont until I take my fat ass to the gym.

Michelle...hope you feel better soon. My right knee feels your pain.

Judy...love you bunches and do not envy you today!

Tracy...I CAN NOT STAND Natalie or Chonga (Chima...chonga is monkey in spanish)...but Ronnie Ratboy's fall is coming, and I can't wait! I love Jeff, and everyone else can go! I am watching it now, since I passed out at 9 last night!

OK...bbl...xooxxoxo

jane - things are not better. we are kinda in a standoff? I'm not talking to her and she's not talking to me.

tracyk - are you still taking the adipax that the doctor gave you? im assuming that they didn't work to suppress your appetite? I was gonna go ask my GP for some but not if you don't think they work. I need some crack...

[kity 2]

LOL...changa or chonga...this chick looks like a monkey! Thanks Haydee!

[Haydee 2]

ha ha, you're welcome pam.

Today we are taking the FOCCUS test so wish us luck on that. Then we are meeting with a photographer that comes highly recommended.

This weekend we are going to the bridal show that's here in town. I'm gonna get ideas for floral arragements, cakes, linens and other stuff. This time around we are doing everything ourselves so it's a bit more stressfull, LOL.

I think I'm getting sick. Like the flu? I woke up with a sore throat, body aches, slightly feverish. Yuck. I don't want to be sick!

I too like Jeff in BB, I also like Casey, he said something funny once about his kids shoes, and ever since then I liked him??? I don't like Laura the most. I also don't like Chima, R...(the muscle-y one), I think R...(the nerd) was playing the game smart, but I saw a little of the late night thing and he has barricaded himself in him room? Crazy, I thought he was playing kind of good until now. I also like the girl with the tattoos, and sometimes the girl that is in the athletes. I could not believe that about the girl who didn't know time...........Sad..........

I don't like Laura the most. QUOTE]

Skipping, i went.. HUH

Weird, a girl at work had a stroke 2 months ago.. mid-30's, relatively healthy (she drinks a lot though).

This morning one of the sales guys (late 30's, early 40's) also relatively healthy, but he does ultimate fighting (ick).. had a stroke.

This is a high stress job, can ya tell? :/

Good afternoon, Violets..

I'm back from the funeral and am emotionally drained. The service was in the gym and it was packed. There were so many of his classmates there. I got to talk with his stepmom before the service and she was doing well. I did ok until the slide show at the beginning. The very first picture was his Kindergarten pic and it was tears from there on out. There was no minister. His coaches spoke about him as did the principal. They all did a great job and made us laugh and cry. Then his girlfriend got up and she started out really good telling little stories and then she went on and on and on and on.. even to the point of yawning herself several times. She talked for 25 minutes!!!!!! And they were just silly little stories. We all knew she needed to get things said, but it really went on way too long. Finally someone in the audience clapped and that signalled her to stop.

The principal said just the right words. He said Josh was not an A student, but he was a GOOD kid, always smiling, always friendly with everyone. Josh always referred to himself as The Man, The Myth, The Legend. What a goofball. He certainly will be missed. The hardest part was watching all the young men that had been on his baseball, football and wrestling teams sobbing as they went to the casket. You try and protect your children from being hurt, but you can't do anything about this kind of hurt except be there for them.

I'm home now and Bob is still at his meeting. I might try and get a short nap in before he gets home.
