Sami- Very sorry to hear about your Mom and the breast cancer. She will be in my prayers.
Everyone- Good afternoon! I am going out to dinner w/family tonight to celebrate Kyle's dedication. I am planning to make a healthy choice....but I have no idea where we are going. I feel a little lacking in motivation at the moment. Hopefully after Kyle's dedication I will be in the right frame of mind. I will report later. :hun: Have an awesome day!!:sunny: Sarah-Rachelle] |
:coffee: Sami I am very sorry to read about your DM having breast cancer..I do pray that it will be very localised still and perhaps she won't have to undergo a full mastectomy...perhaps just a local excision. Be thinking of you all especially this week. I will pray for the consultant to have wisdom up his sleeve and to be discerning as to the needs of mum. God Bless you all RIGHT NOW! as you read this post!!!
Kylesmommy how did the dedication go? Have you got any good pictures of the ceremony? I am God Mother to my friends 2nd son...he will be 9 next Monday! Unfortunately they now live about 4 hrs drive from me whereas they used to live 2 minutes up the road...and I miss them dearly! I remember how special his dedication was....:angel: WEIGH DAY today!!!! I have lost 1lb...yes! 1 WHOLE lb!!! :?: :lol: :lol: :o And no, that is not particularly clever as last weeks weigh in after 3 weeks showed a gain of 6 so I am trying to get rid of that lot before I feel as though I am getting somewhere again... I am not doing terribly well on the MST Continus...pain is builing up between my shoulder blades again and my neck is aching. I know playing the violin for church yesterday hasn't helped a lot! But it was one of the last times our best pianist will play as he and DW are moving a long way away!! It was this splitting pain that landed me in hospital for 10 days last March so I am rather more than a little wary of it... :( Hellos to Sunny, Mitchypoo, On-My-Weigh, Wilma, EZ, MKay and everyone else who hasn't been mentioned!! Sunny I hope you are feeling tons better by now and rid of whatever horrible bug has been plageing you for a few days... MKay how is DF now? Did he get home from the hospital? Mitchypoo..not too long to count now until Doug's visit!! Are you counting the hours yet?? :dizzy: Is Angie-Wangiy MIA??? :lol: :?: Well I suppose I had beeter get something done before the morning has entirely run away from me!! I am seeing my social worker this afternoon...at the end of the week she is off on holiday for 3 weeks to Kenya (again!) so this will be the last meeting for a while... :( Oh I forgot to answer on-my-weigh's question about why I am having physio....a quick resume so as not to use up the entire page with my one post!! I was born with a spinal scoliosis (curvature) and over the years my spine has started to degenerate and I get a whole heap of associated problems like sciatic pain down the backs of my legs and pain and numbness down the front which means that I am hopeless if I have to be on my feet for more than about 10 minutes. Lumbar pain tops up that lot.My physio is very good and we know she can never make anything right so she does pain relief procedures and some very gentle manipulation if I feel deviated to one side on occassion. On Thursday she very gently did some work on my sb pains but I am not sure what happened as I am not usually this worse for days afterwards!!! I forgot to say that the goal weight on my ticker is only an interim goal! When I eventually get there I will set a new target...if I ever get there...I am thinking, not terribly positive at the moment!! Right...I have raked over the sand box! Someone else's turn!!! Keep safe everyone!! God Bless. |
Good morning everyone :coffee: I'm baaaaack! :dance:
Sami, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I haven't seen the details yet but am praying she can have a lumpectomy and that will be the end of it for her. Sending :grouphug: Yeah, I made it back safely. It has been hectic since I got back. :stress: Did bookwork for two days then got the flu (still have it), my uncle passed away on Saturday morning (he had lung cancer.) I will be gone for a couple of days for his funeral, I am hoping the end of the week to give me more time to feel better. Today I have no voice. One of our waitresses who is also a Christian is having problems at home and last week one of our staff caught her and one of our venders in a compromising position while I was gone. I chatted with her about it and she has agreed to counseling to learn how to take care of her needs rather than going from one affair to another. I told her she isn't going to feel good about herself at the end of that trail either. So if you could say a prayer or two for her cuz she is hurting. Basically, her husband is always trying to change her doesn't seem to be able to love her just who he thinks she should be. I will try to catch up a little with the posts but don't know my time frame for anything right now. God bless everyone. |
Hi All!
First things first... (don't I sound stern)
Kylesmommy-If "other people" don't accept you for who you are on the outside...eek...you don't want them for friends anyway! BUT...I just know your light will shine bright...so bright that DH will look at you with so much love and honor he won't know what hit him. ;) Mitchy- Well...what do you think we should do. Probably at least wait until Doug comes in. Ok, when is he coming in? Too fun! Bunna- Helllllooooo! Welcome back. Sometimes I feel like that girl at the restaurant. I don't think DH loves me for who I am and what I'm all about. Lately though, he seems different. I can be me and just not really care what he thinks and I wonder if he can sense that. He is going hunting for his 2-week stint so maybe he's just excited about that. We have been getting along better since the $$ issue. I'm glad you are back. I have gained 6lbs since June and STRUGGLE with the sugar. Flu? Funeral? I'm sorry. I will keep you in my prayers. Teel- DF is home BUT he did ask my DM why he was in the hospital. He thought he had an operation. :( DM has accepted that this is most likely the beginning of the end for DF. I am "babysitting" him tomorrow night while mom plays bingo at the clubhouse there in the trailer park. Sami- boy, if it's not one thing then it's another. I'm sorry about DM. Praying for a positive cat scan result. If you were here, you could come to my spa party next monday. I told the ladies invited that they don't have to spend a dime (it's one of those parties) and that I just want them to relax and enjoy the little perks. Everyone else...WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUU! Later... |
Good Morning!
My computer has been unplugged for the past few days. We have our kitchen almost painted and ready for the cabinet maker to do his thing. It's such a mess around here right now. I've managed to get meals on without my oven at present but will soon be running out of ideas of what to do in my slow cooker or electric frypan.
I am looking forward to the results though and will post pics when I get them. Everyone around here seems to be very busy and doing well. Bunna: I hope you're feeling better soon. My condolences to your family for your loss. Take care of yourself. teel: Way to go on the weight loss. Keep up the good work. Sami: It was so good to hear from you. I miss you!! My prayers are with you and the struggles you face. Just remember that God cares even more than we do. kylesmommy: Just be yourself. Inward beauty shows no matter what you're wearing. I think it's awful that people (especially Christians) judge each other by what they wear and how much money they have. In the end that all disappears - what's left is who you are. mkay: Flowers!! That's great. I don't get them often but when I do they are really special. Enjoy them. Sunny: I'm glad you're feeling better. Take care of yourself. Gary: Where are you? We miss you!! Michele: Hope you're doing well. Looking forward to hearing about your next date. On my weigh: You do have a lovely family. And you know.. some teenagers are actually pretty neat kids. I've raised 2 of them and still get along great with them. Well, gotta go get ready for work. Have a great day! |
Everyone, Good morning! I did pretty well at Kyle's dedication dinner. I ordered a chicken burrito and ate a 1/4 of it...skipped the refried beans, and had a few chips w/salsa, and instead of a margarita I had a regular iced tea. Kyle's dedication went VERY well. I will put up pics soon! He was sooo cute and handsome in his outfit!! And there were lots of other babies there his age. The pastor went around to each family and prayed a special prayer for each child. I teared up a little. I can't believe how much little things tear me up these days!! I can't watch the crime shows I used to be able watch (CSI and ER) because watching kids get hurt (or killed in some episodes) makes me lose it.
Teel, Have you always lived in England? My hubby's side of the family is originally from Suffolk. Sorry to hear you're 4 hrs away from your God Child. We are a 5 day drive from Steve's family who are in Seattle. It bites being so far away from loved ones, especially when we miss out on kids growing up. Mkay & Wilma, Thanks for your thoughts. I agree w/you guys....it is just hard my hubby feels that he must compare ourselves to our church members. I hate feeling like I don't quite measure up in Steve's eyes, although I do know he really loves me. He says he prefers me the way I am (not obsessed w/fashion and material things) I just think he wishes he could provide like other hubbys do. I don't complain about what I don't have, because it's not important and I know it hurts him. I just wish he was able to get past his feelings so we can make some friends at church. I think I may join a women's group or something, so I will at least meet people regardless if he is ready to or not. That would be really good for me. Having no friends where we live isn't fun at all. Once I make friends here, I won't be so homesick for the NW. Need to go to the DR. for Kyle. He has his first illness, and it is getting worse. It's just a bad cold and diarrhea, but again it isn't getting better for him. You guys take care! I will check back soon!! Sarah-Rachelle |
Good Tuesday Afternoon All!
Kylesmommy- I joined in with other women before my DH got interested. He will soon find out that "stuff" is NOT what everyone else is about. Most of us in our life team group have $$ issues but you'd never know it from the outside. We all struggle in some way shape or form. Keep shining!
Mitchy- Snow yet? Were supposed to get some Thursday. When are you going to CA? Wilma- How worth the struggle with no stove it will be when alls said and done with the kitchen. Well all, I "tried" to get on my jeans that I wore comfortably last month and guess what? really tight. That did it for me! I'm doing good today to start things out...I MUST stay focused on cooking and doing it healthy. Today, being November 9 and DH will leave the 13th and return the 18th then leave again the 19th and return the 28th...I should do ok losing at least 7 lbs. The 7 I gained since June. I WILL do it! I will weigh one time a week...Friday's. I want to look sorta sexy when he comes home. Where is everyone? EZ- you haven't been posting for a while. Sunny...c'mon, give us a cute graphic. Back to work! |
Oh, i'm so mad........i lost a post because of something stupid i did......I'll try again.
Doug will be here in 3 1/2 days :love: I'm nervous, anxious, scared to death, excited.......oh if i get through the first meeting. We continue to talk for endless hours, we've learned so much about eachother, i've become emotionally attached to him and i'm so scared that either of us won't like eachother in person, although i'm having a hard time imagining that because he is such a dear man. I sometimes think he's everything i ever asked God for. We'll just have to see what happens. Sami~I'm so sorry about your dear mother, prayers for you and family. I'm so behind, have to catch up on posts, i'm not getting emails of new postings again.....can't figure out why. Tonight is my first support group meeting where me and another girl will be co-facilitating. I'm praying hard that i just do it and can be there and support them and fill their needs. It's like anything else i guess, it'll be awkward and make me nervous until i do it a few times. So you prayer people, i'd love it if you'd pray for us as a group tonight around 7-8:30. Thank you in advance... Sarah-Rachelle~what a kind and considerate wife you are. I think you're idea to find a support group with some other ladies is a great one! It'd be good for you, and maybe it'd be a lead in for you and DH to meet other couples. Bunna's BACK!!! I'm so happy! :cb: Missed you sweets! Woa, what a thing to have to deal with at the restaurant and what a blessing you are to her. I hope she was able to hear you... I'm sorry i haven't posted to all, but i'm think of you....Sunny, Mkay, Teel, and hey, where's our guy Gary?.....Gary, did you watch my poor Vikings get beat last night? |
Oh, Angie, hope you don't mind, but he is kind of "our guy" on the thread....;) Our only guy......unless there's lurkers who haven't posted......

Not Back to Work Yet!
Mitchy- I saw that you were online so I waited a bit to see if you'd post. Yipee...you did. Oh my goodnight...I'm excited for you too. Ok...the usual...what ya wearing, etc. Hair up or down? 3.5 days...will you be posting pics?
I'm afraid I will forget to think of praying for you/friend during support group so I will do so now... Heavenly Father, I thank you for this woman of God. Her heart is where You want it to be...caring for others. I come to you today, praying for her as she leads people tonight. I pray that the Holy Spirit flow in her, around her and that when she speaks, it's You speaking and loving and caring through her. I pray that her and her friend and all in the group remain in Your presence tonight and can feel Your presence and go away from this support group with an entire fresh look. Thank You Jesus for these women of God....In Your name I pray this prayer...Amen and Amen! Hugs and Love going my way to you this night...Mkay |
OH Mkay......you've brought me to tears....you are so dear. Thank you for that lovely.....really lovely prayer.
OK, i'm wearing probably the black outfit i wore for dinner w/Lonnie, the black pants, boots, top and poncho to pick him up at the airport and we're going to dinner after at the same place Lonnie and I went because I like it there. Then Sat. he's taking me to a very nice,swanky steakhouse, a place where he has to wear a suit or dinner jacket. So i think i'm wearing this nice black dress and satiny red/burgundy jacket.....Oh, maybe i'll have to go get another jacket to wear with it, i don't know. Sat. early we're going to a health seminar and the Mall of America, so i'll be comfortable in jeans and sweaters, also to church and Alpha, comfortable. I'm really wanting to look nice for our Sat. dinner. I've never been to this place, but i'm looking forward to it. He sounds so romantic......he seems to think of all the small details men should care about. I'm so looking forward to meeting him. :dance: |
Forgot......hair down (I just had it recolored!) and yes, i'll post pics.....;)

Visit?
I've been on the Amtrak site looking at fares to get to Chicago. Not bad...$25 one way. I can do that. Now to get a date or other location. What a hoot.
Isn't the Mall of America so big it's hard to shop? How have you been feeling? Besides excited. |
Wow, i'd take Amtrak for that rate! I'll have to look into that, thanks for the idea. Sunny, is it an option for you to meet us in Chicago?
Mkay, the MOA is very big, but he wants to see it so he knows if the kids would like it, he wants to do some shopping and we'll have lunch there too, and maybe go to the movies. And besides the migraine yesterday and the trouble i had yesterday with my back, i've felt pretty darn good. |
Me again
I think taking a train and just relaxing would be wonderful. Sit and listen to a CD player, take in the scenery, read...whatever.
I will be thinking of you all weekend while I'm painting my office/computer room at home. :lol: Where's the justice. I have a busy week the first week DH is gone. The second week (Thanksgiving week) I took vacation. I will have nine days (including weekend) NOT thinking about work. :dizzy: I really need to get back to work...shucks! Later! MK |
