Yes, Arabella. You were off the track for an instant. But the wolf didn't get you! Put your little red hood back on, gather Grammies' goodies and continue on your way. You are doing great!

I wonder if the phase of the moon has something to do with that...I was not at my most stellar yesterday either!

So, how are you all doing?

K, one good day under my belt...

K, one good day in. Now to get a string of same going. I'm feeling better today, thank goodness. I really want to get to sound yoga and tai chi tonight but I must say a nap is sounding good now, post-lunch.

Ceara, Sir, yes, sir! Did so. You're right - a couple of bad afternoons won't do it, just if I use them as a slippery slope and hop on the flexible flyer. Wheeeeeeee!!!! Nope, just kidding. We all know what's at the bottom of that hill.

Loved the Little Red Riding Hood theme.

I went back through the posts trying to figure out what you were getting stitches out from and the problem from not breathing properly and I can't figure it out! What were the problems and how are you doing?

Kaylets, whew! That's quite a list. Lemmee see...

1. What time did you get up this morning? 4:30

5. What do you usually have for breakfast? Oatmeal made from steel-cut oats, with fruit and yogurt

8. What is your favorite CD at moment? An Alice Coltrane CD.

13. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go? Somewhere with fabulous beaches.

14. Favorite brand of clothing? I really like Eileen Fisher but only have any if i come across it second-hand.

15. Where would you retire? I'll be staying here but probably not retiring. Just writing more things that I want to write myself.

16.What was your most recent memorable birthday? This year was pretty good. We were in Colorado for DH's family reunion. Started the day with a run on mountain trails, followed by yoga class and then a swim and sauna. In the afternoon we took a chairlift up, waaaaaaaay up to the top of a mountain. In the evening we went to a party with lots of fun relatives and dancing.

Hello all!

Honey, its Friday!!!

Yes, Ceara, I can't find it either...Please tell again... why did you need stitches?

WoodNymph..... You've been eating Oatmeal a long time now.... I can only eat it at night....or I am consumed by cravngs for more, more, more....'

But a little bit b/4 bed might be a perfect idea!

Hello to everyone! This post has been open all night so I might have missed someone who posted then....

Here's the Friday thought:

*********
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her

someplace expensive.....so, I took her to a gas station..... and

that's how the fight started....

************************************************** *******

I tried to talk my wife into buyin g a case of Miller Light for

$14.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her

the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream. And

that's how the fight started.

************************************************** *******************

***

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for

Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my

driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and

realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was

very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The

woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my

curly silver hair. S he said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof

enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When

I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the

Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your

pants. You might have gotten disability, too'. And that's how the

fight started.....

************************************************** *******************

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and

I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone

at a nearby table. My wife asked, 'Do you know her?' 'Yes,' I sighed,

'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right

after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been

sober since.' 'My Gawd!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person

could go on celebrating that long?'

And that's how the fight started......

************************************************** ********************

I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road

and slowly the other driver g ot out of his car. You know how

sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem

funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... he was a DWARF!!! He

stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT

HAPPY!!!' So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one

are you?' And that's how the fight started.....

************************************************** *******************

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my

order first. 'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.' He

said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?' 'Nah, she can order for

herself.'

And that's how the fight started......

****************************

Here we go Friday, Here we go!

Friday it is!
And I'm still on the wagon, not down the slippery slope. Huzzah! Got in all my steps, ate lightly and healthfully. Got to tai chi, although skipped sound yoga. Just felt like it would be too much, and, given by how wiped I was when I got home from tai chi, that was a wise decision.

I just got back from WW, where I faced up to the music, to the tune of two pounds. Well, I'm sure they're not real and will be gone soon.

I feel good about having gone instead of lurking at home kidding myself that I'd take the weight off and more and go to WW NEXT week. Not going that route again.

Kaylets, Those were hilarious!

The oatmeal I eat is very chewy, high fiber stuff -- steel cut oats, with no sugar and with a good dollop of yogurt so it's got a little fat and protein included. I find it keeps me satisfied right through to lunch. This week I'm going to focus on chewing it more instead of bolting it down, which would be a good thing too, I'm thinking.

I found a rice blend at our bulk store called "Aztec blend" -- SO good! Various colored rice with red lentils, split peas and a few unidentified items. But lots of color and so chewy and satisfying. I haven't canvassed DH yet to see if he liked it though...

Ha yeah, 'tis Friday in the Palace. Let's make it a good one!

Where beith all mine ly playmates?

Having a good day here -- woods woggle, tai chi class, walking in the unseasonably mild November air.

Kaylets, I've got two good things for your bucket:

I'm back to ticker AND I got in over my 12,500 steps average for October. I should make 10,000 average for the year and then I'll increase for next year.

More goodness: Dinner and a movie tonight -- no cooking and an outing!

I'm a happy Only thing missing is you. C'mon in and post -- you know how I worry!

K, Dollings, let's make this a good one!

i am woefully behind. i think a while back i said i would return with personal responses, and never did. sorry about that! it wasn't because i haven't been thinking about you all, though, and missing you---because i certainly have! lots of ms technical difficulties here. ah well.

andria-i am glad that wringer you were put through by cps is way behind you now. so sorry to hear that you had to go through that at all. must have been wildly stressful.

anagram-glad indeed to hear eye surgery was so successful. your recent hair color change sounded fun. my hair is very dark brown (well, it used to be, anyway before i started coloring it 5 years ago when i began seeing touches of gray.) i am about ready for a color job soon, and always thought it would be fun to go to a bit different shade but don't think i could make too much of a change without it looking odd on me. however, my hair just looks so dull lately--i do need some change---hmm.

kat- glad that sis is doing well. thinking of you!

kaylets-love that idea of a good thing bucket. makes me smile thinking of it.

ceara-you sure have been busy with traveling and showing royal dog. congrats on winning the breed. it must be such a neat atmosphere at dog shows. glad your stiches are out!

arabella-good for you being on proverbial wagon and not down slippery slope, going to ww even on day when didn't think would be a loss, being back at ticker weight, and all the steps you averaged for october. huzzah! have fun at dinner and movie tonight.

so much more to respond to, but just know you are never far from my thoughts, queenlies, even when i can't get in here to post.

i am fine, but on thurs. afternoon, while i was in a store, i fell. what a pain, literally and figuratively. banged up my left leg big time-knee, shin, etc. fortunately, though, no fractures, so i am very grateful. i was embarrassed and in pain, and briefly while still on the floor, was a little worried i wouldn't be able to get up on my own steam (meaning with help, that is.) a very nice(and fortunately, strong-lol) man helped me up, and before that was giving me time to collect myelf, asking if i was ok, needed medical help, wanted him to call someone, etc. i was really glad when, with his kind help, i could get up and out of that store on my own steam. i only live a couple of minutes from this store, so an easy drive. when i got home, though, i started crying. my leg and my pride---both hurting. i always walk with a cane, which i was doing, but it was a good reminder (well, not good---helpful) that i need to use my walker more when i am out and about, and especially on my own with no buddy to hang on to. yesterday, i called doc and she had me come in to check out my leg and have it x-rayed. very glad-- no fracture. the gentleman doing the x-rays was very nice too and gentle with me, plus also strong, helping me on to and off machine, moving my leg, etc. i am not exactly a dainty flower, so i was impressed with how the fellow on thurs was able to hoist me up from the floor as though i were. can you believe it-the nurse at doc's office yesterday had the gall to weigh me before the doc came in! with my leg in bad shape, and it being in the afternoon after i already had breakfast and lunch. i said that was rather cruel and unusual purnishment, was it not, but she didn't seem to have any sense of humor(but was nice, though.) she said i could refuse, if i wanted to. i just smiled and said, it was ok, not to worry. the only good news about that is that i have finally lost a pound after a very, very long time. have stayed op pretty well too. now time to kick things in to higher gear, though. hopefully, this is the last time i fall in public, but definitely want to be lighter if ever such a thing were to happen again.( it had better not, though!!) (my leg or legs just sometimes give out on me because of ms, and i don't have warning.)

well, i sure have blathered on and on. i really am good, though. i have to keep my leg elevated and stay out of mischief for a few days, which i think i can manage. my leg is swollen and hurts like you know what, so not really tempted to make a run for it at this moment, anyway. i had a nice brunch and visit with a couple friends last sunday, and on tues, went to a lovely party at best friend's home. he and his wife are "the hosts with the mosts." well, dear royals, i have missed you lots. hope everyone has a good evening. take care, all.

Happy Sunday, Queenlies!
I got to move my ticker today!!! There's the last of the poundage from last M-Tues gone and an other half-pound for good measure. And I've got to Friday to get more off. This is the MONTH!!!

I got about 17,000 steps yesterday plus tai chi class. By the time we walked home from the movie I was definitely ready to crawl into bed. Dinner was really good -- Caesar salad with a lightish dressing and herb-roasted chicken with mushroom risotto and brocolli. Two nice glasses of Shiraz. A two-inch piece of a skinny whole-wheat baguette slice with herbed butter.

The movie was really good too, funny, thought-provoking and touching. "Ghost Town" -- highly recommended!

Tonight's dinner at SILs -- I'm ready on the food front. Now just have to make sure not to drink too much, which is the challenge there.

WSW, my friend! How lovely to see such a nice long post from you, although I'm very sorry about your fall. You're right -- you need to use your walker more to be safe. I'd almost think it would be worth it to be picked up by a nice, strong man as if I were a dainty thing ... but maybe that's just me.

I loved reading your responses to the questions!

Okey-doke. I must get back into my sneakers and go out for our long Sunday walk. Walkin', walkin', walkin'.

Any more ly folk about?

Let's take this day we've been given and make it work for us!

arabella-congrats on lbs. down, and all those steps yesterday!!!! woo-hoo! i'm with you---this is the month. thanks for starting this thread too. hope dinner tonight at sil's is pleasant.

i am recomitting to my plan with new vim and vigor:
-continue to eat healthfully and daintily
-continue with exercise program
-write down food daily
-continue with daily meditation
-more--and improved-- work on self-esteem
-definitely, have more fun!
-step out of my comfort zone a bit more and expand my horizons

well, for now, i think that seems like a plan i can succeed with. need to go put leg up for a while, and maybe catch up on some letter-writing. hope everyone has a good day in the sunday palace.

Dog Show! Gone all week-end, and am up 1 stinking pound. Off shortly for a walk. It was probably the oatmeal to go bars (2 of them, 200 cal each) while driving and the kahlua and chocolate covered almonds when I got home. The roads were a little dicey. A little stressed, shall we say! I did stop the almond binge though.

wsw, great to see you back....sorry to hear of your mishap. I hope you mend well.

Arabella...good work on the ticker. I've not had alcohol since the last Sunday in September...before last night. Wine sounds good.... You have a couple performances coming up right?

Stitches....I had a mole removed from the center of my back. A new one, irregular edges. Path not back yet...of course. If I'd had a plastic surgeon do it and it was non-cancerous (like you can tell without a biopsy) it would have been a 400 dollar charge. GP's office, 3 stitches and likely a scar...it is in the middle of my back, not my forehead, ....free. The minute a specialist gets you, it becomes cosmetic and you are charged if there is no cancer.

Chest pain. I have been upping my running portions of the woggle, and trying a different form. Well, I was paying so much attention to the form...where my feet fell, where my weight was, body posture etc, that I was really holding my upper torso stiff and could not diaphramatically breathe. So I was chest breathing....for a few days in a row. Those little respiratory muscles up there in your collar bone area cannot lift all that bone so much and they protested....very vocally. I would rather have another child than that pain again. I could not do anything...lift, carry....whatever. I looked like I was going to pass out at work...I was a little grey I guess. And I felt like I would burst into tears at the slightest thing....I don't know how people deal with chronic pain. At least this healed and went away!

So, a new week begins. I must go and wash my dog, and walk and do laundry....etc....so must be off! I will do that quiz thingy later!

Hello all!

Small family issues kept me away.....

WSW! So glad your fall was more embarrassing than anything else.... I am a very clumsy person and always wind up falling in front of an audience of people I am trying to impress...... It makes for a redfaced moment!

Ceara! Thanks for the update... I knew I missed something...and that;s a good tip about the mole... I will remember NOT to go to plastic surgeon.....
And that pound will be gone soon!

WoodNymph! Congrats on your pound down! And good for you taking control at the party!

Terriffic Tuesday Tip---- Your Mom was right, you better take a sweater!

"Are you on a high-speed chase for lower energy bills?
Pullover. Either put one on or take one off, that is. Instead of reaching for the heat or A/C switch, regulate your temp by wearing layers, and get the energy-bill pigs (not to mention CO2 emissions) off your tail.
The Benefits
Bill savings at home. Wearing appropriate clothes avoids indecent exposure to the elements and can save you $250 per year.
Less CO2. Adopting this tip helps avoid 1,000 lb of CO2 person, per year.
Less nagging. Wearing layers when you go to your BFF's or the office means you won't have to ask if you can turn the A/C up or down depending on the outfit you're wearing."

Day of the concert
I would say but in fact is more like it. I did get a good night's sleep last night but I've got some bit of something that makes for fatigue and a little tummy ache. And I guess I've been on the go a lot too. I'll be happy to get through this concert and move on to The Messiah. Next on my big to-do list is learning to read music so I'll be able to practice more effectively when I haven't got a practice CD.

My concert outfit is slightly too big, although wearable. The skirt was a bit snug around the hips last December and I couldn't quite wear the blouse. By spring concert the skirt fit almost properly and the blouse was just wearable. Now they're a little on the floppy side. I may have to shop before The Messiah.

Kaylets, you reminded me of a spectacular fall from my waitressing days. I was coming through the doorway from the kitchen to the dining room with several plates of food, slipped on something and fell, feet first, skirt rucked up and food flying all over. How's that for embarrassing?

Ceara, wow, that sounds like a terrible pain that you wouldn't expect to happen over the course of a few days. Wow -- breathing is so important! I'm still trying to remind myself a few times through the day to take a few deep, slow breaths. Helps everything.

Yes, tonight we've got the Remembrance Day concert and on December 7th we do The Messiah. Practicing for the latter has been such a joy -- I actually started mid-summer.

K, I should get out for my woggle so I can get back.

Let's make this a good one!

Ack - apologizing for the neglect, Royals. Just general business. Lots of family around the area in recent days. Two cousings from MA overnighted with me last night - had a ball and other family members in to see them. They're coming back Friday night on their way back north.

And getting together with some others tomorrow night. Plus bro from Alaska in the area for next few days . Hoping he'll join group tomorow.

I've been holding about the same but noting that I'm feeling a bit more fit (long way to go, of course).

Nope, Kaylets, it was cataract surgery. Second one next week.

Totally sleepless tonight. Think I'm just too revved up. Was very tired this afternoon - didn't sleep but did spend a good while "resting" so I'm up in the middle of the night without even an initial sleep. I'll pay today!

However, the world looks very bright to me so I'm wishing the same to y'all. Sorry for the me, me,me. I did browse posts but am too antsy to sit here much longer (unusual for this slug).

WOO, WOO, WEDNESDAY!!!!
