Got up late this morning and just got finished with breakfast and cleaning up. Darn I have to eat earlier. Wish I would have had what Crystle had for breakfast instead of oatmeal. LOL. Its beautiful out today and we'd better enjoy because we've got a good chance of snow this week end.

Crystle- You're doing good. Your food sounds wonderful. Keep up the good work.

Solly- Have a great afternoon with that grandbaby. And hope your weather isn't to bad this week end.

mercee- What a nice walk you had.

By for now.

Ellen 03-19-2010 02:47 PM

Good afternoon everyone! I am still waiting on the medical equipment folks to call me and tell me they got the stupid software fixed. I tried calling, but got the lady's answering message. I am assuming she was with a patient. Its VERY frustrating. All I want to know is if the therapy is working.

I just finished lunch- eggplant and onion sauteed in olive oil. I want to go down and make another pan of it cause it was SO good.

An elementary school friend of mine called me today from Arizona. We are friends on Facebook and she was having trouble with her computer and needed help. I have not talked to her in probably 40 years. Crazy! I got her through the computer problems, so that was nice.

The weather is beautiful, but I feel very unmotivated to get out and do anything. I took an Advil PM late last night because I could not fall asleep. I was trying to NOT take one...but it makes me groggy in the morning if I even just take one. I so want to not use anything....I had a more restless night last night and I am just sick and tired of obsessing over my sleep. I just want to lay down and sleep, and forget about all the details. You know? Life goes on....and I will deal with it. Soon, I won't be whining anymore as I will be used to the new 'normal'. sigh...

Tonight we are going to some friends house for a game night. We played this one game with them in a group a few weeks ago and it was SO much fun. Its called Telestrations and is a written/drawn version of the old kids game, Telephone. It was hilarious! We are going to play that tonight, among other things.

I hope we will get together with BOTH grandkids and their parents tomorrow for dinner. Should be fun. Next weekend, I am keeping the baby for my daughter and her husband to go camping. My mother in law is coming for the weekend too, so that ought to be fun.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! :wave:

Good morning
 
I am so sleepy still this morning. Have you ever gotten up just because it is time? I did but I did not get enough sleep. Maybe a cup of coffee will dust away the yawns and blinking eyes. :dizzy:

Hope ya'll have a super weekend. Storms are on the way here so we'll probably just have a lazy Saturday.

((Everybody))

Be back later.

God bless,
Crystle

Ellen's Day
 
Happy Happy birthday...((hugzz)) :carrot::carrot::carrot: May you have the very best birthday full of hugs and smiles.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Toni48 03-20-2010 11:08 AM

Happy Birthday Ellen........ Hope you have a great day.

Ellen 03-20-2010 11:35 AM

Thanks, Crystle and Toni! Tom got called in to work, so I was feeling sorry for myself and stopped at Starbucks for cappuccino. Then I ate potato chips for breakfast. :o I need to go find something healthy, cause now I am starving!

The weather is gorgeous and my daughter is supposed to come over and we are going to go for a picnic for lunch. Tonight, we are going out to dinner with both the daughters, sons in law and grandkids. :)

:wave:

Toni48 03-20-2010 01:06 PM

My sister is coming to town today and we're going to have lunch with my niece. Hope I can find something healthy to eat. But this is rural America lots of fried foods. Anyway looking forward to it.

Ellen- Sorry Tom had to go to work. But sounds like you're going to have a nice day anyway.

Crystle- We're waiting for the rain here, its on its way. Hope you got woke up.

CountryMom4Him 03-20-2010 01:37 PM

Jammie Day
 
Good afternoon. I am finally wide awake..LOL Sitting here in my jammies. It is yucky and rainy outside so I made it jammie day. Just gonna do the things us mom's have to do and play the rest of the day away. :dizzy:

Ellen...cappuccino sounds yummy. So do the chips. ;) Sorry your hubby had to go to work on your special day. There should be a no work on b-day rule. Oh well, they don't let me make the rules. ((hugzz)) I'm so happy you are going to spend some time with your girls.

Toni...we are rural also. It is so hard to find something healthy to eat. Even the healthy things get cooked in a way that make them a caloric nightmare. :) Hope you find something that you can enjoy and not have to worry about.

Everybody((hugzz))

God bless,
Crystle

Ellen 03-21-2010 12:34 PM

Good morning! Well, afternoon actually...but lets not be too picky here.

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I was trying to alternate the face masks I have for my cpap but that obviously is not going to work. I finally got up around 2:15, and switched back to the new one and fell asleep right away and stayed that way pretty much until 10am!

I just finished breakfast...an organic brown rice cake with organic breakfast sausage and Vegennaise. I don't really like the Vegannaise, but I use it since I can't have eggs and sometimes you just HAVE to have some mayonnaise...you know?

I am beginning to feel more alive in the mornings. Last night, I skipped the Advil PM, but took regular ibuprofen when I got up to switch out my cpap mask. I just wake up with aches and pains all the time....the ibuprofen helps.

Dinner last night was a riot. Kaeleb crawled all over the floor, under the table. That was when he was not kneeling next to Bella's high chair. Bella is a very happy little girl and every time her eyes lit on Kaeleb she laughed, and smacked him on the head! My daughter, and their husbands kept switching chairs and the poor waitress was terribly confused. (I think she was new) She was a good sport though...and when I told her I could not have eggs or gluten, she got the manager to help her know which dishes were ok. He went and got me the gluten free menu! Awesome! Too bad I can't have eggs, since there was a bunch of great stuff on the GF menu....but it worked out. I got a broiled mahi mahi steak, little new potatoes and fresh steamed veggies, with a salad with oil and vinegar. It was superb. Then since it was my birthday, they brought out a piece of chocolate cake/pie. I ate some of the whipped cream and passed the plate around for everyone to have a bite. My one daughter gave me a copy of Susan Boyle's CD, which I was excited to get. I will rip it to MP3 and put it on my MP3 player to listen to when I walk. Oh, and I went for a walk yesterday in the BEAUTIFUL weather. After dinner, my grandson and his parents came over here and they put him to bed here so they could go meet friends for a drink. They were planning on taking pictures to send to a friend who just went to teach in Korea for a year. They always went to a certain bar for her birthday, which was Friday...so it was her birthday drink in abstentia... kind of.

The weather is not as pretty as yesterday. Its cloudy and rainy. Hopefully we will get some more of the pretty stuff tomorrow!

:wave: Off to do some chores!

Toni48 03-21-2010 01:52 PM

Good afternoon. Slept in late this morning to and fell back asleep in the recliner. Just had breakfast/lunch. It was an Amy's organic enchilada. Its rainy and ugly here. Had a great visit with my sister and niece along with a lunch I could of done better at.

Ellen- Sounds like you had such a nice birthday. It will be so nice when you get the mask thing settled. I can't imagine the trouble you're having with them.

Crystle- Hope we have a nice sunny day tomorrow. Brrr its cold.

CountryMom4Him 03-22-2010 10:00 AM

Good morning
 
So glad that blustery cold wind from yesterday is over. After all the warm weather it felt especially cold. Eating is not good. I had the munchies all weekend. No major no-no's just a lot of snacking. Hopefully today will be better.

((Everybody))

Gonna start my day and pop in later. Praying the is the start of a GREAT week for all.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Solly 03-22-2010 10:12 AM

Good morning ladies. Is it Friday yet? I'm getting to the point I don't want to come to work and I can't retire. What to do???

We walked for about 50 mintues on Friday. On Saturday we went to a makeup party and I brought him home with me so my DD could go to the bookstore. I fed him and took him for another walk to the pond, about a mile.
I will be glad when basketball is over so I can get out of the house. I will also be glad that this will be our last fish fry. Get away from all that fried food. We willb e in Gatlinburg for Easter. This will be a frist. I always have all my family for EAster. My DD booked it for her and a friend not realizing it was Easter weekend. The friend backed out and they can't get their money back so we are going with them mainly so I don't have to spend Easter without them.

It is a rainy day today. I hope to get to the gym tonight. I have paid for 8 training sessions that I need to start on. I was too tired to get up and get on the treadmill this morning, so that will have to be tonight. My left hip and leg are killing me. It is hard to walk. Don't know if it is coming from my back or if it is my syatic (sp) nerve. I really need to sit in the hot tub a couple nights. Maybe the rain will stop and I can do it tonight.

Crystle,are those your grandbabies? The little girl looks just like you. How adorable they both are. You will find you can do more exercise as the days pass. You will get stronger and stronger.

Ellen, I always laugh when you say your MIL is coming. Maybe with the baby there it will be a better visit. Happy belated birthday. :balloons: Hope you had a nice dinner with the family. Your dinner sounded halarious. Kids just make life fun.

Mercee, good job on your walk. This weather is crazy. I can't wait for it to warm up so we can walk outside all the time.

Toni, OK send me some nice weather. This rain needs to go. I will say, my grass sure is getting greener. DH will be cutting in a week or so. Hope you have a great day.

OK, I have lots to do that I don't want to do, but I beetter do. So I am off. Have a great day.

Ellen 03-22-2010 12:39 PM

Hello Buster buddies. I am feeling kind of down today. I had lunch plans, but my friend backed out on me by sending me a text to tell me she was too tired. I have been listening to the album CD my daughter gave me for my birthday- Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream- which is beautiful but the music is melancholy which is not helping my mood. Lots of things going on, and I usually can just shove them down, but today it is not working.

Slept very well last night. Once I get the cpap comfy, I really do like it. Its great to sleep and not wake up with your heart racing, feeling like something is terribly wrong.

I went to water aerobics this morning. We actually had snow flurries this morning! Crazy! It was so cold going from the car to the aquatic center...but at least the pool water was warm this morning.

Off to do something productive and try and shake off this melancholy...

:wave:

Toni48 03-22-2010 01:30 PM

Howdy all.... I'm so boring today. LOL Can't think of a thing to say. Do you get on here and have a day like that? I'm loving the sun being out today. But its a trick, I went outside to let the dog out and it was cold. Not like yesterday but a chill in the air. Had my oatmeal this morning and took out chicken breasts to thaw for tonight. I'm going to make kale to and have no idea how to cook it. But I just have to try it.

Crystle- Hope you are having a good day. Your grandbabies are so adorable. And you can really tell who they belong to....

Solly- Oh my gosh your Easter trip sounds like so much fun. What a nice way to spend it. Hope your leg gets better and its not that nerve. That would be so nice to have a trainer.

Ellen- Sorry you're down today. Some times we have to just go with it. Your granddaughter on facebook is a doll. Glad you got a good nights sleep.

Well guess I ought to get up and get busy, be back later...

CountryMom4Him 03-22-2010 04:43 PM

Good afternoon
 
Howdy ya'll. I have been beyond busy this morning and afternoon. Finally taking a little break. Had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch on wheat. It was yummy.

Email Tip:
Wear Clothes That Fit
It's hard to feel good about yourself when you don't look good. One way to maintain your self-confidence is by taking care of your appearance. Instead of wearing clothes that are too big or too small, find articles that fit good enough to be flattering. Don't wear clothes that are two sizes too big or one size too small. If you're unsure of what size you should be wearing, consult with a sales associate for assistance. She can likely make a recommendation or take your measurements.



Toni...When I cook kale I just cook it like spinach. Wash it...wash it..wash it so there will be no grit. Then I make little stacks and just cut it into thick slices and saute in olive oil with salt, pepper and garlic. I also like to add onions. If I do that I start them before the kale. Thank you about my grand babies. My son called me at 12:30 last night to tell me I'm gonna be a grand ma again. I"m so excited for him.

Solly...Yes, my grand babies. :) They are getting so big. Britt said little man is eating everything in sight and beginning to roll over both directions. He has always been really strong at standing and sitting but a little lazy with the rolling. :dizzy: You are doing great with your walking. Praying your leg feels better soon and that you have a blast on your Easter trip.

Ellen...((hugzz)) Sorry that things are pressing in on you. I pray that God takes that burden or burdens and cast them as far was the east is from the west and his peace that passed understanding floods you with and extra portion of joy. Hang in there. Great about sleeping so well.

((Everybody))

God bless,
Crystle
