There were lots of ladybugs in the windowsill when I washed them yesterday. Finally done with the windows. We went to Home Depot and got tile, paint, and ordered carpeting, which will take one month to get done-hoping for it done before the party-oh well. I am drinking black coffee because of the blood test. Then a good breakfast. It's is raining terribly here-Candice-boohoo for both our teams yesterday. You never know in these playoffs. My right leg hurts but I ate ice cream last night and I get pains from milk products. Have a great day. Mima

Ally, our paper had that article. Have saved it to reread it at a more concentrated moment.

Had another good day today. Waked in blustery wind today in the park and had done pool yesterday. May not be losing weight but am changing lots of bad habits for good ones.

Have some business to tend up in the mountains so we're making it an outing tomorrow with a good lunch and lots of peeking at all the colored trees - not even at peak here yet. Late this year but that's ok as long as I get to enjoy them.

That sounds like fun Anagram. I love looking at the leaves and ours are peak. Supposed to walk with my aunt today but I don't feel like going out-it takes 45 minutes to get there. I had to go out yesterday and the day before and tomorrow, Enough whining!!!! Ally-tell me to shut up. Well the Red Sox won but the poor Cubs didn't. My son wanted the Marlins sop he can go to the World series. Bye for now. Mima

I've got a bug ... and not a lady bug either! It's a killer bug! Jenna caught a cold while we were on vacation and got so hoarse for a couple of days she could barely talk and I'm sure I got it from her - little bugger was in my face every minute of every day. Paula said she thought she was getting it before she left for Nashville yesterday, she already had the headache and scratchy throat. Hubby came home last night and said his head felt 'funny' so looks like we will all have it. I've had it all week and I have had Ross every day this week plus last night and tonight, too ... school is on 2 wk. break and since Paula is out of town for 2 days his Dad can't handle 2 kids (wimp). I started out with a headache, then my eyes and nose started running, then all of a sudden I just couldn't talk - almost completely lost my voice, then just started hurting all over (more than usual), ran a slight temp and just feel generally miserable (more than usual)! :p

Meme, my daughter had that a couple of weeks ago. She was the Maid of Honor in a wedding and could not talk. Someone else had to read her speech for her. She had a terrible cough, headache and fever as well. Ashley had something similar and of course, her hubby got it as well.

I hardly ever get sick. The last time was about 4 years ago. I got a whopper of a cold. My husband rarely gets sick either.

You guys are so good at walking and being good.

Hey There
 

Meme- What a finish for your vacation!!! Get well soon. It looks like you will be caregiver even if you are sick...I haven't been really sick for a long time. I hope to hold out till at least we get thew flu shots. You can still get sick though ,just not as much..
Happy ...I read somewhere that after a certain age we don't catch things as quick. Of course if I do it is always a dusey.I am not out in the field of working people as often and that has a lot to do with it. When I worked I was sick all the time.Of course in the medical field you are exposed to just about everything...
I lost another 1 1/2 lbs...
Hello everybody...Joanne

Sorry about you being sick, Meme-when I taught little kids, I was sick all the time. I didn't feel well yesterday-achy and stuffy. The manicurist was sick when I had my nails done and I didn't go for a walk with my aunt. Still feel funny today. Course I was up til 12:30 watching the game and totally bummed out becauise they lost-as the headlines said, Damn Yankees. Son has tickets to game in FL, maybe he won't go now. I know how you feel Candice. Bye for now Mima

feeling crudlike myself this morning. Not sick - just crudlike and I didn't sleep well last night either. Pulling myself together and going to pool though.

Got this on another thread. Have had it before and maybe you've all seen it. But it helped put some sun back in our gray and rainy day here (bad news about death of a friend's wife and really bad health of another) so here it goes:

Hi Fibrogals.

Hope you are all doing well.

Anagram and Meme - I hope you both feel better. Those colds can be so miserable.

Mima - Hope you are not getting sick.

Joanne - You ae doing GREAT on your weightloss program. Good going.

Hi Ally and Candice hope you have a good day.

Go play with the kitten for awhile. This is cute.

Go to this site (link is below) to see something great!

If you tease the cat with the mouse pointer on her chest or stomach she will purr,
she will meow also, by rubbing her forehead with the pointer.

If you make a slow circle around her body, not only will her head/eyes follow the cursor, but toward the top, her paw will go up, and when in front of her paws at the bottom, her foot comes out like she wants to play with your mouse pointer.

Hey There
 

I got out and walked at the beach for 40 min. (over 2 miles)today. Hope to keep it up
I checked back and find that I have lost about 10 lbs since I dropped the carbs.
Happy- My sister sent me the cat . It is really cute. I think I will send it to my daughter.
Mima- Not you too. All you guys are getting sick!That will never do.
Anagram- Feel better soon..
Hello all...Joanne

Still feel icky and didn't go to TOPS yesterday. 10 lbs Joanne-awesome-are you eating any carbs now? Brad did his bllod sugar today and it was 91-we are going to be cutting back on carbs because of his diabetes and he thought it was a little high the other day. Sorry Anagram. The older we get, the more bad news we hear. My sister-in-laws father is doing much better. that's good new-A while back they ghad to bring him back 4 times-he now has a pacemaker. Boy, they have wonderful things out there. Hi to all. Mima

Hey There
 

Mima- With the exception of a half banana or apple a couple times a week and a couple pieces of cake that was sugar free and low cal I have avoided the carbs. I like them so much I am afraid to start eating them . I want to get below my goal before I do.If your Brad has sugar problems he should concider not eating carbs. They just turn into surgar.
I walked for 40 min. yesterday. We drove out to the beach and I just walked the circle of the parking lot. There are a number of people who do that..It is a nice place to do that.
You must visit Tarpon Springs sometime .It is a nice place with a lot of history.
Hope you feel better soon.......Joanne

Hi Guys. In my neighborhood, they let you throw out large household items once a year and that would be this weekend. As I sit here there are trucks and vans of "pickers" driving up and down the street going through my junk. NO one seems to want my kid's bunk beds. They are very beat. But everyone looks at them.
Just thinking that my weight is in my waist. That is new. I went to a shower today feeling fat. These are my exinlaws who I stay in contact with but only see once in a great while. They say I look the same...but I feel fatter. It is in my waist and chest. Makes me feel stuffed!!

You got it Ally-that's where it goes. I am almost to goal and I still have 2 tummies. Exercise is supposed to help. I am glad that the Yankees lost last night. Maybe they will lose in Game 7. Brad thinks that the Red Sox and the Cubs should have their own playoff. That would be great. they both deserved to win. Right Candice. My daughet is coming over to go to church with me today. Then for lunch. I am feeling better but stuffy. Could have been sinus because I didn't sneeze. We went for Chinese and I has some Hot and sour soup. Good medicine for sinuses. It's supposed to be wet snow here. Haha!! Mima
