I finally found my way back. Woke up to thunder and rain this AM, what a wonderful sound. It is suppose to rain more this afternoon. It's 1:30and only 76, it is great!!

LINDA: That F-F-M has sure been hanging around your door. That is great
congratulations on getting another loss. In the end they all add up.

CHERYL: Hang in there, Linda will share the F-F-M with the rest of us soon!Thank you for your thoughts, just what I needed today.Decided to start on some new strengthening exercises. They use the bands instead of weights. Will see if I can get them done at least 3 times a week.

HY: Good luck on your "fun" tests. Those mammo's are just so much fun. I love it when they get you cranked down and then they say "now don't breathe", as if you could if you needed to!

Have to get some work done here so will talk to you later, DONNA

Hi Everyone, Sorry i've been MIA lately, just a lot going on. I'm doing pretty well, and i've been dropping in and reading your posts to keep up. My grandson goes in for surgery tomorrow morning so If you're saying any prayers about that time please include him!

Have a great day everyone, Freda

Hi gals...Just a quick check in since I have been gone all day and I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Hy...Good luck with your test. I hate having mammo's, very uncomfortable. Thank you for your kind words.

Donna...So glad to hear you got some much need rain and cooler temps.

Freda...I'll be saying a prayer for your grandson. Hope his surgery goes well.

Linda...I know that FFM will pass by my house real soon. She has too, I've been soooooo goooood!!

Before I left this morning, I got another row of kids pressed on the quilt and started sewing them down. Hope this row goes a little faster than the last one. See you chickies tomorrow. Cheryl

TGIF Good morning. Just dropping in for a sec,then I better get some work done. Today is our big "sidewalk festival" in town. Unfortunately we have so few retail businesses anymore that it really is a joke. Glad I'm not in retail anymore.

FREDA: Sorry your grandson needs surgery,but I sure will say a prayer for him,hope it goes well. I will say a prayer for you too,it's hard to sit by and watch our loved ones hurt.

CHERYL: Good luck with your row of kids. Quilting sounds like so much fun.

OMG!! I almost forgot to tell you, the F-F-M did stop by,she only took .5 with her but hey that is more than she's taken in a loooong time.Maybe by this time next week I can actually weigh what my tracker says again. Have a great weekend everyone.Keep movin and groovin
DONNA

Hi everybody . . . our weather has taken a turn for the worse . . . hot, humid and about to storm, bigtime, and the forecst is for more of the same until Tuesday. Yuck

HY You definitely have fun with those great tests, girl . . . at least you sound like you are back on the right track now that you've finished with Dr. Duck.

DONNA Glad to hear that your weather has broken and a big YAY on the loss. Nowhere to go but down, girl.

FREDA Definitely wishing you and your family all the best. Hope the grandson's surgery goes smoothly and he recovers very quickly.

CHERYL Good luck sewing those kids . . . glad to hear you can get back into the sewing room without having to hold your breath.

Nothing too much new around here. The nasty weather is playing nasty tricks and threatening my head with another migraine. I've been napping a lot today and so far, so good.

Did you know that you can practice for a mammogram? Lie on your side with your breast just behind the back wheel of the car and have your hubby slowly back over you; then repeat for the other side. The mammogram won't seem nearly so bad.

Have a great evening, gang. See you soon and you all just keep moving and shaking and doing all the right stuff.

Donna...WOOHOO on .5 lbs gone. You'll be at your ticker weight before you know it.

Linda...Sounds like you are having rough weather just like us. We had tornados that touched down near us this afternoon. Lost power for about 3 hours. At least I got some sewing in before it got nasty. Hope that migrain never happen for you. Love your version of a mammo exam. LOL

Freda...Hope your grandson's surgery went well today. Hope you are doing well also, the waiting is always the hardest.

Hy...How did your test go? Did you survive the boob squeeze? You could always try Linda's version. We would probably never complain.

Had to go to town this afternoon and buy a new battery for the riding lawn mower. We just bought a battery for it a month ago. So irritating that it has gone bad. Called the company where we bought it at and they will give us a full refund the next time we go to the big city. Hope you girls have a good weekend. Cheryl

Where is everybody, today? Hi Cheryl.

Another day of talking to myself . . . come out, come out wherever you are, gang.

Hi everybody!

Wow the fairy fat-mother has sure been missing MY house for the past couple of weeks also! Sure hope tomorrow morning is evidence of her visit!!!

Hi Gang...Sorry I was MIA yesterday, just under a lot of stress and in a rotten mood. Took it out by sewing on my quilt and listen to my music. The fairy fat mother paid me a visit, I'm down 1.2lbs. I'm almost into the 20's.
YIPPIE!!!! Got the kids sewed on the bottom boarder this afternoon. Tomorrow I'm going to layout the kids on one side and start sewing them down. Lastnight I kept my fingers busy finishing up a counted cross stitch I have been working on for 2 years. Going to add a quilted boarder before I get it framed.
Well my eyes are pretty tired tonight, I promise Linda I will be here tomorrow.
Hugs to you all!

Cheryl

Hi Everyone, It looks like it's going to rain here today. There goes my plans for walking to the library. I'll have to do some other form of exercise. And it's my weight day also.

I'm sorry to say that I haven't been watching my intake too closely the last few days. I knew I was in for a surprise this morning when I got on the scale. Up 3 lbs! Now, why can't losing be that easy. So, i'm back to my old style of healthy eating and limiting the snacks. It's the stress I know, so hopefully when the stress is over I will be ok again.

Thanks for all the prayers! My grandsons surgery went well. We still have to wait for the biopsy to come back so please keep him in your prayers. Although the surgeon said it looked good.

Take care, freda

Well . . . it's still raining . . . surprise, surprise . . . Gosh I hope it is soon over.

MISTI . . . good luck with the F-F-M, girl. Hopefully she'll visit really soon and take away lots and lots.

CHERYL . . . Yay on the 1.2 pounds gone and congratulations on your extremely constructive day. Glad you put your down mood to such good use.

FREDA . . . So sorry the scale- demon beat the F-F-M to your house. Hang in there, girl, and you'll beat him back into submission really soon.

My sneak-peek at the scale this morning was a big mistake. Let's just say it showed an impossibly high number and whatever caused the strange burp, I hope it has gone again by my official Wednesday Weigh-In. That's what i get for peeking.

Have a great day of moving and shaking, girls. See you later.

Hi Gals, Got up early and gave the house a quick once over before it got hot. Layed out another row of kids and got all the body parts sewed down this afternoon. Tomorrow I hope to get started on sewing down the clothes. Got a big surprise this morning, turned on the computer and all of my bookmarks are gone!!! Do any of you know what would cause that? Good thing I'm in the habit of writting down all my web address in a notebook with passwords. You know, fuzzy brain syndrome. LOL

Misti...Hope the FFM is visiting real soon. She's pretty sneeky.

Linda...Sorry you took a quick peek at the scale, hopefully you have a surprise on Wednesday.

Freda...Sorry the scales are up for you. Won't take you long to loose the 3 lbs. Glad your grandson's surgery went well.

See you chickies tomorrow.

Cheryl

Oh CHERYL Sorry to hear about the little computer glitch. Afraid I can't help you, but I'm only marginally computer-literate myself. Maybe your service provider is making changes? You are lucky you had 'manual back-up'

Have a good day, gang. Hope things are a little cooler wherever you are. Nova Scotia is still very humid and too hot, but the sun is starting to peek through from time to time this morning so I hope the worst is over for a bit.

Keep things moving and shaking gang. See you lighter.

Good Morning all, I'm having such a hard time getting back on the wagon. I'm off to a slow start, but I always have trouble. That's why I could kick myself for falling off! someone reach down here and give me a hand up and a little slap on the head!

Linda, You know you can't junp on that scale early! It's playing tricks on you for going out of turn!

Cheryl, you're smarter than me! I didn't write down my favorites and the last time my computer went down I lost them! Most I could find but there were a couple that are gone forever!

Hope everyone has a good day, Freda
