Good morning. Fun about Christie-Not!!! Hope she is better soon, Had my nails done in a new place and she didn't have any dryer-just sprayed them so of course I hit one of them, Went for a walk before I drove home-won't go back there again.
Today is the shower, Suzanne got a trial hairdo yesterday and said it was awesome. But she washed it out because she doesn't want anyone to see it. Mike and his family will be here next Sat night. We will sleep in the camper. And the weather should coperate. It's getting warmer.
Can't go to church so I can watch the FL one on the net, and the tonight is Singspiration at church-love that. Bye for now Mima
Good morning Did you get your taxes done Meme? Suzanne's shower was very nice -lots of people cancelled but it was more intimate. And she got some lovely things-on to the countdown.
Mike will be here Sat night til Wed. Brad is putting in a shower-no more cimbing in and out of the tub and it will be great for Al. Borrowing a chair from Brad's aunt.
Rheumo today and Massage yesterday, I sure wish I could find something that would keep my back ok, Physical therapy. ?? I had a relaxation tape where you tightened your muscles-that sure helps but it broke. I sa one but not sure unless I hear it.
Brad is going to work today and he has liability insyurance. Mima
Glad the shower went ok, and next the big day! Not far away now.
A shower will be nice. I LOVE a bath, but it causes me way to much fatigue, so I stick to a quick shower (not too hot). Try to do that exercise on your own. Lay in a quiet place, flex each muscle from your toes up. It is a Yoga exercise, and it really does work. Visualize yourself somewhere peaceful. I hope you find the answer for your back.
Tammy - good for you getting into exercise. You may not show a weight loss, because muscle weighs more than fat, as you know. Just keep it up. Teas are such fun. When I was a kid, we would go to the Strawberry Tea at our Church. 3 of us girls would empty the sugar bowl (sugar cubes) and get a refill. We had such fun, but our Moms used to give us heck about the sugar.
Joanne - this little dog seems to be a lot of work. They are good company but lots of trouble in between. They are like little children, then teenagers.
Meme - nice to know you are still around, just being your busy self.
Ladies, my hair LOVES humidity. It is thick and when it is humid, it behaves wonderfully. Also, living in Alberta, I have dry skin, and as soon as I get somewhere humid, my skin is perfect. No cream necessary. It is the REST of my body that doesn't like humidity and it causes me great pain. So, I guess I am stuck with the dry air, but less pain. I have to pay $66.00 in taxes - not too bad. This is because I do not pay taxes when I receive my Canada Pension. I paid enough at work to cover most of it, and when I am NOT working it won't be an issue. Hubby got lots back, so that was good.
Mima, will you be posting pictures of the wedding?? Sure hope so. I'm with you about the back. Mine has been feeling pretty good until part way through the class on Monday.
Anne, I have a Yoga cd, but I have never tried it. Maybe it's time. LOL to the sugar cubes!!! I used to like those too!
I am going to be serving on another Emmaus Team! It starts April 24 and ends the 27th. One of the team members pulled out, and my pastor asked me on Sunday morning. I have to give a talk this time, but it is a talk that I gave a few years ago. I am so glad that I didn't have to write a new one that quickly. I changed a few things in this one (A Life in Piety), and it is good to go!!
Hi ladies-I will post a wedding pic or 2. We have a new grandchild-Rebekah Lynn-she is so beautiful. 7:13. Glad the hospital is close by=although I guess she will be going home today.
I lost 3 lbs-It's nice knowing there is an end to this but I can't go back to eating so much sugar.
No news from the tenant-our fear is that he is using his electric heater which we asked that he put in the garage, He will run out of oil and we are not putting anymore in.
We have a shower but it's in the whirlpool bath tub and lousy.
Went to doc and showed him my xrays-he wants a copy of the MRI which they will send. He's sending me to a doc who will see if I need something in my shoes to help my back, He says I have spurs on my spine-maybe surgery, I wouldn't mind that=better than living with my back pain-no wonder I can't get releif. I had a tape with that tensing and releasing but I wore it out, Loved to hear my former yoga teacher's soothing voice.
It's going to be warm the rest of the week. Mimahave fun at work, Anne-boy you are busy Tammy and Joanne-all of you-hey Meme!!!!
Mima, good for you on the 3 pounds!! I would say those spurs would be causing the problem. It would be nice to have that taken care of.
Today after the aerobics class the instructor took anyone who wanted to do it to her office to weigh. I thought I'd do it. I was up 2 pounds from where I was 2 weeks ago when I did the original weigh in! I was bummed. I have been journaling everything, and I've stayed within the calorie limits that she set for me. She told me not to worry because she is sure that I'm toning up, and the weight will start dropping. I sure hope so!!
If you are doing all that exercise. it must be muscle.I agree that you are toning.All I have been doing is walking-I miss the flat surfaces in FL. But the weather has been beautiful.
Wow-the tenant is packing. The boxes are missing from the garage. I hope it's not the weekend we are gone so we can be sure of what he takes. He hasn't pd for the stove and frig totally. We don't want him to take them. We need a guard posted.
I ordered a tape for relaxation from Amazon, My back hasn't been too bad.
Mike will arrive Sat night. Not 100% sure of the sleeping arrangements, Brad thinks it's too cold in the camper but I don't . We have heat in there.
Got the pew bows yesterday at the Dollar Store-44 of them!! What a deal-2/1.
Hope your washing the dog is coming to an end, Joanne, Hi Meme, Anne I know you are working. I hope I can work in May, My stash is getting low. Mima
Mima- I wish the washing of the dog was coming to an end. Yesterday the yeast rash seemed worse. We have 4 more days of antibiotics and then if it doesn't go away back to the vet. This has been so expensive.. So far almost 300 dollars.
Tammy- I journal every day too.. I shot myself in the foot the other day.. You know those Keebler cookies on TV with all the choc. well I ate 5 then I looked at the cal count. Almost 500 cal.!!!!If the scale gives me 1/2 lb tonight I will be surprised.I told the hubby we won't buy those again..Eleni calls me skinny well it won't be for long at this pace.. Skinny I'm not ,just trying to be..When I was young 120 was fat to me..
It has been cool here the past few days. It is supposed to warm up today. I am wearing a sweater. The hubby turned off the heat because someone said it was going to warm up..My toes are icecubes..
Meme- Happy, Hello.
Joanne
Hi-We have had some beautiful weather. And some more to come. We will try to sleep in our camper because we run out of beds here. It's only for 4 nights. They are in NY and Mike and Al went to the ballgame last night and Al and her mom will go see Rent. She is such a Broadway girl, Evan said there were ducks-they were actually pigeons. he's a Florida boy.
Oh that vet bill. Hope it's over for you soon.
The bride is exhausted. They have so much to do. Today Jim has to do a 10 mile hike carrying 50 lbs. I guess he is exhausted but at least he's home and today is his last day of training. God bless our soldiers..
I may take a ride to Angela's with some soup. Maybe I can help a little?? Brett took vacation days.
We did a big shopping last night. Gotta put it away, Bye for now. Mima
Joanne, journaling has really helped me see what I'm eating. I made a pie today. Really hard to do. I bought a shortbread crust, made sugar-free, fat-free lemon pudding to put in it, and I bought sugar free cool-whip. Bob thought it was great! Then I told him that everything but the crust was sugar free. He was impressed. I'll get him changed over yet! Those Keebler cookies do sound good though!! I agree with Eleni!! You look great! Just stay out of those cookies. lol
Mima, isn't it nice getting those bargains?? It has been beautiful here today. Up to 76 and sunshine!! We did feel the earthquake that happened in Illinois this morning. I thought Bob was getting out of bed because it was moving, but he didn't know what it was either. Later in the morning there must have been some aftershocks because we felt it again while I was standing in the kitchen.
Tim and I met partway for both of us and had lunch yesterday. We had talked on the phone several times, but we wanted to chat in person. He's having some concerns about being an RA again next year, thinking about his internship in 1 1/2 years, girlfriend (they are so cute together!!), talked about our trip to Disney that's coming up, and lots of other things. He and Bob can talk about some things, but then there are things that he is more comfortable talking about with me.
Sounds like the relationship I have with my older son-we were alone for many years. Yeah for those sugar free pies. I am going to ,make one with chocolate.
The sleeping arrangements are going to be tricky for 2 nights. Hope it's not too cold in the camper.
Latest wedding challenge-seating. I have to figure out tables of 10. One thing I realized was that the number of people cannot be divide equally and Sue and Jim divided theirs equally so I am left with the uneven number.have to work with that.
PTL-Josh says he will be out by the end of the month. He's gone on a business trip. We get along fine as long as we let go of the money aspect, All we can do is to be wiser next time. With the cost of oil, it's hard to figure out the rent. We have until June-Brad wants to do a couple of things before we rent out again-after the wedding.
Going to be gorgeous here again. We are taking Brad's brither and wife out for Chines-he came to the house a lot while we were gone. I need to be careful. Fruit!!!!
Bye for now-going to try to put a round peg into a square hole-the seating. Mima
Tammy- I want to lose another 8-10 lbs.. It is hard when you get down to my weight.. I seem to stay where I am no matter what I do..I need to do more walking but it is hard . my knee has bewen bothering me , I go for a xray monday and then the Dr. will inject it again.. I hate those injections . They make me feel awful for several days and retain fluid.So the weight goes up!!!I make pies on holidays. I will be doing that next week as it is Greek Easter nxt sunday..There will be 8 of us if our son decides to come.Lots of cooking. Eleni is making the salad..
Mima- Stars for you on planning a wedding..I hope to never have to do that again..I went and rented some cots once when I didn't have enough beds for company. It worked out fine..
Hello everybody .. Joanne
Mima, my hubby worked 2nd shift from the time Tim was born until he was in high school, so we had many evenings and lots of weekends when it was just us. I was his scout leader, one of his ball coaches, and whatever else was necessary. Bob mentioned that a strawberry pie sounded good, so I'll have to do some searching for a sugar free recipe for that. Good luck getting the people seated at the tables!!
Joanne, 8-10 pounds is ok then. I thought you looked great!! I haven't had any knee injections since last spring. The left one is bothering me again, but I'm putting it off as long as I can. All the exercise probably isn't doing it much good. Maybe I'll stop in for Greek Easter!! Wish I could!
Hello Everybody- Greek Easter and then I will rest for a few months.. I am always glad to get Holidays behind me.. lots of work..I am giving christie another bath today. her rash looks good so maybe I can put the flea med on her . It is warm down here and the fleas are going to find her. I say one yesterday but in her thick coat it got away from me..I am sure there are more.
I have to go to Walmart and grocery store. That will take up a good part of the afternoon..
Joanne
I wrote a nice long post yesterday and lost it.
Mike and Al have gone out-he's going to golf with his father and she's going along for the golf cart ride/
Taking my best friend out for her 60th birthday tomorrow.
Nice and quiet here-Mima
And nice weather.
