Hey Mercee welcome back. I guess we were to few so they're expanding the sight with all sugar programs on here. We even have a new name Sugar Shakers. Hope you stick around.
Meowee- Good luck today....
Went shopping and got some veggies to make a veggie soup tomorrow. We also got a sub sandwich. Mine was turkey breast on whole wheat with lots of veggies. I know not quite legal but pretty good and oh so tasty for an occasional treat. But I've had to many starches today. I won't make that mistake tomorrow.
Very muggy and overcast today -- and I ache in a lot of places -- but things have been so changeable lately, who knows what the afternoon may bring. A good rain would be very welcome since it appears there are still some little hot spots in the firea area -- and they found the ignition point. It appears to be 'careless camper' syndrome. Will people never learn?
Spent 90 minutes in the waiting room for my 15 minute appointment with the gyn yesterday. At least he changed the picture on the ceiling over the examining table since the last time I was there. Two of the cutest little chocolate lab puppies you'd ever want to see. One bit of good news, his scale weighed me 1 pound lighter than my own. Always a pleasant and totally unexpected surprise; especially since it was 4 pm and fully clothed vs first thing in the morning and fully unclothed.
Nothing too much on my agenda . . . hopefully I'll find time for some new information posting . . . hope everybody else has a great Wednesday . . . see you later.
Afternoon all. I've been busy this morning. Got a pot of vegetable beef soup going in the crockpot and a load of wash in. I went over to the campground and walked while I was out. Thats three days now and I'm so pleased with myself. The lady that helps me with housework has lost allot weight and looks great. When I asked her what she did to lose it she said You're not going to like this but I walked. And thats how she lost it. So that kind of gave me inspiration. Plus I'm trying to get veggies in alot more to my eating habits. Well better go do some more stuff.
meowee- Glad you got your appointment done. I'm always glad when those are over. I'm next. We were overcast today to but now the sun is coming out in full force.
I am back and everything is over so I should have more time to post on a daily basis. The golf tournament went well and we raised over $17,000 on the silent auction so we should make our goal of a donation of $75,000 I hope.
Eating is so-so. I am walking pretty much every morning, Rudy has come to expect it now and makes me get up. 3 weeks until vacation. I doubt I will make my goal, but I am trying.
I have missed everyone. I am anxious to try out the other threads, they look interesting. Thanks Meowee.
Chris, Hope you and your DD are getting better.
Ellen, so sorry to hear about Tom's job. Poor buy. Hope things turn around for you.
Toni, glad you are hanging in there.
I know there are others I am missing but for some reason it takes forever to go between pages so I can't go any further and I can't remember what I have read. So I will start tomorrow on replies.
I have bunco tonight but first I'm getting my nails done and a pedicure.
Hi again . . . just wanted to let you know I started a new thread -- but not the one I've been talking about for a few days (hey, I will get back in that mood again soon).
Looks like a busy day for me . . . the Bengal Twins have to go to the vet for their annual shots. It will probably take two of us an hour to get them caged up. Then they will screach and complain the whole time. When they get back home again, they will disappear from sight for at least two days and it will take about 3 months before I can get near them again -- they are definitely not the most tractable cats I've ever had, but are they ever great grudge holders. No idea where they are right now -- haven't seen either one since I brought the cage in from the garage.
After that, it's the normal afternoon of shopping with my friend LouLou -- well, it is, if we've got any energy left. To top it off, it's cold and very overcast . . . difficult to believe it's only two days until Summer is officially here . . . I'm still waiting for Spring.
Anyway . . . hope you all have great days planned . . . keep things moving and shaking, gang . . .
I didn't get home until after midnight last night so I am dragging today. Was going to skip my walk this morning, but Rudy had other ideas. he kept jumping back and forth over me until I finally got up. It was late so we had to shorten it. We will get a good one in when I get home.
Meowee, have fun shopping today. We didn't have much of a spring either. It went from really cold to really hot. But this week it is quite pleasant, with low humidity.
Toni, I just can't seem to do soup in the summer. Good for you getting your walk in. Are you walking alone or do you have a buddy this time?
My oldest boss (86) fell in the shower yesterday and had to have brain surgery to release the bleeding on his brain. Surprisingly he is doing very well. He will have to go to a nursing home for rehab but I fully expect to see him coming in the door in about a month. He is one tough bird. Until recently he was still coming in every day and staying until 4:00 or so. He has been going down sicne his wife died 4 years ago. Work is all he really has. It seems my prayer list grows every day.
Good Morning all..... Just up having coffee and a bowl of oatmeal. Its beautiful out today. Don't know yet what I'm going to do. I'm sure sore from walking. I've tried to keep busy this week.
Meowee-Don't envy you taking your cats to the vet. Hope you have a great shopping trip and buy something summery.....
Hi Solly we were posting at the same time. Sorry about your boss. Hope he recovers well. Good for Rudy getting you up for a walk. I'm walking alone. And this is my first time outside walking in years. Think tomorrow it will be my treadmill. But I wanted to get four days in a week at the campground. Have a good day at work.
Hey guys! I'm back from vacation and boy does it SHOW,lol. Up several. I ended up going just hogwild! So now it's back to shaking some sugar,lol. I've been pretty stressed with my job and have made the decision to start looking for another. You would think that I would stay with banking but I gave my resume to a gym for the management position. Who knows? We'll see. It will actually be a pay cut from where I'm at..but I'm really thinking I will like it and work my way up. As for Boogie..he's doing pretty good. No more episodes so far. We go back to the cardiologist in August. Oh, I guess I'll get back on track with posting my menu's:
BF: NSA oatmeal and cantaloupe with a couple strawberries
Snack: 2 tbsp natural PB
Lunch: A legal Smart Ones(beef and brocolli), and a SF yogurt
Supper: Grilled chicken, green beans, and another veggie
Man, I hope I can take this weight off in another week! So easy to put on and heck to take off.
It seems we are missing lots of members. Where has everyone gone? Got in a short walk last night, it was threatening rain but we beat it. Of course Rudy got me up and out this morning. I was sure sleeping soundly and did not want to go.
I'm really sleepy now and don't know why, I fell asleep on the couch around 8:30 and DH woke me up to got ot bed at 9:30 and I slept thru the night which is very unusual. So I should be rested and ready to go, but I can't keep my eye open. Maybe a few cups of coffee will help. Guess I will have to have regular instead of my decaf. No plans for tonight. My DD is in a wedding in Lexington tomorrow night, so we will drive down there to that and back home.
Toni,Do you have a MP3 player? It really helps pass the time when I walk alone. I talk to Rudy but he doesn't talk back.
Laurie, glad you had a nice vacation. Where did you go? It is hard to be good on vacation. It will come off quickly. Glad Boogie is doing ok. Good luck on your job hunt. My DD gave her notice yesterday. She gave them 33 days notice and will come back and work a concert they are having. So they should appreciate that.
Meowee, hope your mood improves. Smile, it makes you happy.
Off to get my day started. It seems so funny not having so much to do. I acutally like being busy. Have a great weekend. Talk to you Monday.
Good Morning!
I haven't posted in a few days, just been "busy as a cat in a round house looking for a corner" so to speak. Workmen in the back yard working on the gazebo, and company in the house ! I did have a stroke of good luck, I had hired my son to clean the sides of the road on our street and it was going to take a week or better. Yesterday the county came out with a huge mower and they are cutting in a day what would have taken a week! Son was very happy! LOL There is plenty of other work for him and not near so hot or hard!
Solly~~I have a cat that walks with me! He looks just like the cat I use here and he is more like a dog than a cat. I walk a cul-de-sac that goes uphill and this cat will walk on the road and back with me just like he is on a leash! He even uses the pet door....I haven't had a litter box in my house in over 3 yrs! I love that! Unless I leash my dogs they are off and into the woods every time! Hope your boss is recovering quickly!
Meowee~~~Here is some happy sunshine for you to help you feel better! I have days like you and I tell my hubby I am not "fit company for human or beast". I hope it passes quickly!
HeartMom~~So glad your back and I hope vacation was all you wanted it to be. Hope the job comes open for you that you want.
Toni~~I think you are walking alot more than I am!
BS this morning was up....190! I ate 1/2 of a Reeses' Cup last night...I never eat candy! Weight is stuck so I am going smaller portions once again to get it to budge at least! I have a ton to do so I have to get started....Hope everyone has a good day!
