Hi everyone! I hope you all had a nice, OP holiday weekend. Sorry, as usual, for not being around much. My work schedule was hectic this past week, and this was not my weekend to work but it was my holiday to work so I had to go in Sunday night as well. But now I'm off til THURSDAY night.
We're doing a baby shower Friday afternoon for a girl from work. I'm in charge of doing the games with the prizes. Luckily we all agree that we don't want to spend too much time on games so I'll keep that part short. Any ideas for fun, original baby shower games?
I got some TERRIBLE news yesterday....my dad works in a steel plant and took a horrible fall from a high place yest morning and broke his shoulder in FOUR places, broke his wrist, two fingers and bruised some ribs.
My poor daddy has lived alone since the divorce (about 10-12 years ago?) and he doesn't have anyone to take care of him! Luckily (?) he hurt his left side and he is right handed but still. So I'll be spending alot of time with him. He's not able to see the orthopaedic surgeon until tomorrow at 10 am but I imagine some pretty major surgery is in his near future. My poor daddy! He's only 49 years old~can you believe that! (I'm 31-you do the math)
DH loves his new job, but says he misses the people he used to work with. I told him he needs to give these people some time and he'll make new friends. He gets his first paycheck this week so we're excited about that.
Shari, thanks again for starting the new thread, glad you're my right hand! MWAH~
Oh yah and what's up with your neighbors! Geez! I wonder if you could have called someone, your landlord? the police? What a mess, I hope they don't act like this all the time. Did you get your pup yet?
Treighsie--breathe honey, in and out....lol nice and easy. You said it yourself. TOM, damn TOM. Just wait til next week. I'm lucky that's not a problem for me, I get the Depo shot every three months and NONE of that stuff. Though I will tell ya, sometimes I get moody, bloaty etc and think, I bet this is my TOM if I had that. But it's never regular or predictable. Plus you can't stay on that shot for more than a few years, and I'm near that, and DH is up for the big V, just gotta make the appt. Anyhoo....the neighbor's dinner sounded lovely, but isn't that an odd choice to have on Memorial day? I thought everyone was BBQ'ing.
Suz, dahling! How are ya! OH BABY! YES! Size TEN~TEN TEN! You're practically in SINGLE digits! So proud of you! I was happy to see this side of 20s~~~I'm in an 18 shorts, 16 if I don't mind not breathing! And 14-16 tops, and I'm in heaven! Of course I'm coming up out of them now that I'm putting on a bit of wt r/t this ankle, but I'm not too worried.
In fact, I think my ankle is nearly healed! I mean, I know it's NOT, but I can get through my 12 hr shifts with minimal pain and I'm not really taking the good pain pills anymore, just first thing in the morning and I'm good all day. They make me a little hyper (you would think they'd make me sleepy?)

HI Gram, glad you're still with us, I know things have been nuts for you lately. I bet you step on the scale and will be surprised to lose some wt from the worrying and I bet you're not eating or taking care of yourself. Let us know how the gardening is going and how your dad is. What are we going to do with these DADS of ours?
Robin, I feel like I fall all over myself gushing about your wt loss success, but OMG 140s!!!!! I just continue to be AMAZED by you. You never did plateau did you! How has your health been? I remember that little hyster problem you've been putting off, have you been back to your GYN? Sorry about your daughter, obviously I know all about the irritation of crutches! Luckily, since I've been in my boot, I don't need those things, but I HATED them! I hope she's not in too much pain. A little TLC from her mama is just what she needs.
Jeni---I know you're busy! Did you have the holiday off or did you have to work? Did you get to enjoy the family and a nice steak on the grill? My kids are chomping at the bit to SWIM, they ask me every day, it just isn't that warm yet! I know, I know, indoor lessons, but still.
Luja, your husband only turns 50 one time, let it be, you had a good time, you ate a bit, so what! Sounds like you had a nice party for him. Whatta lucky guy.
Hi libchick! Sounds like you are on your way!!! Only five more pounds! Sounds totally doable to me! AWESOME! Get your homework done, young lady!
Hi hunnasgirl! Welcome here! Glad you figured out the weed thing, you'll be hooked soon enough <evil laugh here...mwahh ha ha ha> No strict rules about anything around here, just pop in when you can and keep us updated.
Shelby, WBM5 (<-----GLAD to hear from you again! Hope you are out of that funk and come back soon!), HolyTeror, Sockmonkey, BRANDY- where are you! Off riding your bike?!?!
Well gotta go check on my dad, get stuff together for the shower games, get off this computer but I'm happy to catch up with my dear friends. I hope I didnt' for get any of you....it's not personal, I blame it on the meds. LOL xoxoxo Michelle
W.O.W.'s 4th of July Challenge Week THREE chat thread!
I think this Beck stuff that I'm learning has really helped... and I think I'm going to make it to my July 4 goal!
