Hallo guys!

Sorry for being so scares, I have been very busy at the office lately – New Year!! Haven’t feeling very well lately and went to my GP. He advised me to go on a more balanced diet. I have decided to give the diet that a dietitian worked out for me about 2 years ago another shot. (As long as I am following something and do not let it get out of hand)

Will talk to you guys soon!

Good morning, Chickies. Nice to be back online again. Too bad we lost all the words of wisdom from yesterday - I am sure we were all absolutely scintillating!

Good news at the gynecologist. (Would a female be a galnecologist?) Anyhow, all the tests from my D&C renovation came back clear so I can stop worrying about cancer and a hysterectomy and get on with life. Yes, I was really worried!
The above the waist doc said I'm over the hump with the pneumonia but the asthma is getting worse. So I have two new fancy puffers to take. Pissed me off but my sister has reassured me that even little 2-year-old kids have puffers now so I should feel young. Joan can always think of something good to say!

Glorious snow here this morning! I have a friend coming for coffee soon - JUST coffee - she is a WW - and need to sweep some of the gorgeous white stuff off my side porch. DH has the stove in the back room just purring so it is very cozy here this a.m. Library and banking on the agenda for this afternoon.

Have a good one.

Morning all! and belated Happy Day Ruth! You make me laugh and I love to laugh. so love knowing you!

Woke up full of energy, so complete 360 from yesterday, maybe I am a bit bipolar...anyhow already done the dishes, made bed, lunches and breakfast...and only been out of bed for just under an hour, excellent for me....

Hope you all have a great day and I hope one of these days I can report a weight loss...bye for now. Liz

I'm trying to talk myself into doing a bunch of work around the house, but I'm not listening well. After yesterdays physical therapy, I have decided to cancel any further sessions until I see a doctor on the 23rd. The pain afterwards was excruciating. I'm also getting mighty tired of my whining about this!

We had a difficult start of the day today. A few minutes after leaving, DH phoned me to tell me to call the neighbor. His dog was dead in the road. Poor Jake will never take a dump by my sidewalk again. The neighbor is just plain stupid. He never kept the dog on his property or trained it in any way. It wandered for miles since it wasn't neutered either. I've wanted to slap that man(?) for years but it wouldn't have made a dent in his thick skull.
Poor doggy...hopefully it is in doggy heaven.

God bless!

Hi,

Ruth, that's wonderful news from your doctor about no cancer or hysterectomy. What a relief! The asthma thing's not so good, but at least there's something you can do for it.

Peachie, I'm glad you're in contact with Deb. Please let her know I'm thinking about her and that I'm sure she's on the way to a new and wonderful life.

This won't be too long, because I'm very, very crabby today. PMS at work here, I think. It pissed me off royally when I couldn't get on here last night and this morning when I saw everything I'd posted had disappeared AGAIN. I tend to overreact when I'm PMSing, so I'll lay low until I'm human again.

Have a good one everyone!
Chickadee

Morning Everyone--I took your advice and stayed home today-the voice is coming back, but the darn sinuses are not cooperating. I suppose it is because I waited so long before I went and got some medicine. My DS has a basketball game tonight and I am going to that no matter what--it will be very difficult for me not to be cheering--I guess I will just have to clap extra loud! Haven't eaten anything yet today so I am hoping I make wiser choices as the day goes on.

Peach, thanks again for the updates on Deb--keep em coming.

Ruth, glad you got a good report from the gyno--what a relief for you. The asthma doesn't sound like much fun though.

Hensa, nice to "see" you again--please keep posting. We miss you.

Tippy, sorry to hear that your therapy session didn't go very well--maybe you do need a break. I was also sorry to hear about that poor dog. Breaks your heart!

Liz, could you pack up some of that energy and mail it to me????? Please.

Chickadee, ahhhhh PMS, don't you love it??? My DH and DS try to stay faaaarrrrrr away from me when that is going on.

Jen, I hope that Don is feeling better today. You could send him here and he and I could watch all of my DS's old videos together while we recuperate!

Hope I got everyone--you guys take care!!!

Oh gosh I had some really inspirational post that had gotten lost (he he he) and wel i just do not have it in me for today!! LOL

So Ll in all Ruth I am veryglad that things came out clear! great news.

Peach let us know what is going on with deb

hensa watch the kinds of carbs you eat if you keep them "wet" then you will do better. meaning the vegies and fruit.

Been too busy for word this mring and then there was the backup this morning--only could sit down now. Mire is home with a croupy cough and a ever so no daycare for her. Found out there are 2 other kids in the daycare with the same thing--figures, eh?

Waiting for my contractor to come to give a quote on the kitchen cabinets--some we'll be switching around and others losing althogether. the kitchen is laid out very strangely and I'm trying to open it up more to get a wider feel to the place. Haven't done anymore painting since I was too busy tending to my wee one. Looks like I might not get to it till late in the week.


have a great one veryone--if you get on with all the backups and crashes we've been having lately!

Hi all!

Ruth - Glad everything is well. My DH has asthma and there are puffers all over the hose and cars.

Tippy - Hope Jake is in doggie heaven.

Peach - Any word on Deb?

Hi Hensa! Glad you're back! What kind of plan are you going to be following now? Even if it's not low carb, you'd better not leave us!

Pooky - Daycares are a germ's best friend.

Chicakdee & Annie - Hope you both feel better.

Hi Sue, Liz and all to come.

Have a great day!
Jennifer

Afternoon all,

been away busy and then surgery. All is fine and trying to not visit the fridge much now that I am home for two weeks. Tomorrow if feeling ok, will be painting kitchen. Started this a couple of months ago and then before I knew it Xmas came. (Big Country Kitchen)

Anyhoo, will check to see what I have missed then take a short nap. Have a good day all

Hi!

It sounds like everyone is busy, busy, busy!

Ruth, glad to hear the doctor scare is over! Whew!

Everything here is just peachy. Went to Portland yesterday for a haircut. Met up with my mom and my aunties and we had a great time at the salon and then at lunch. It always makes me feel so cosmopolitan (being the redneck I am at heart) and it definitely helped with the SAHM blues.

Dh isn't crazy about the hair. When he left in June I had long gorgeous hair. Now it's short and messy and he's not very convincing. He's given me the "this is cute, but your long hair was just so beautiful" speech. Guilt? Probably.

Today is DD#2 second birthday. (Happy Birthday, McKayla!) And, she has two down pat. She's too smart for her own good (waaayyyyy too smart) and SO opinionated. Dr. says I need to be consistant and strict with the discipline. But, it's hard to discipline a two year old -- even though she completely understands what's happening, there is just something about her still being my baby. No wonder she's a huge handful!

Went to check out new preschools for DD#1. Found the perfect one. Now, if we could just get our transfer orders from the beautiful Coast Guard, then I could feel secure about enrolling her.

I hope everyone is doing good. I wish I could take time to address each of you, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Have a great evening, Ladies!

Just popping in quickly at the end of the afternoon. I'm sure you're all long gone by now.
I'm busily trying to get our company year end stuff ready for the accountant to do the taxes and it's always a traumatic time for me. No matter how I try to stay organized throughout the year, I always seem to lose something vital.
Ruth so, SO glad the doc's news was good. Now, get yourself healthy, ok? Hope you had a terrific birthday.

Don't have time to write a special note for everyone but I'm thinking about you all.
Yesterday my neighbour said Let's go for a walk at 4. It had been a rare gorgeous day and I'd been for a swim in the A.M. but I thought I could handle a walk too. I barely made it around the block, huffing and puffing and aching in my lower back. I suppose it could have been the unaccustomed cold air but I just know I've let myself get out of shape over the holidays. Time to get back in gear.
Can't wait until my new Ab-Doer arrives. I am definitely going to have a washboard tummy like the gal in the TV commercials rather than my present overrisen bread dough appearance. Yeah RIGHT! Well, I can dream can't I.

And you think nobody reads your posts! Well, I think your dream of a washboard stomach is no sillier than my dream of great legs, instead of these pale stumps I've been "blessed" with! Go for it, and we'll be sexy and muscular together!

Hope everyone had a great day!

I saw that too!!!
