Hello Everyone!

Boy...alot happens when I'm not looking.

Welcome Lake Girl and Angie! Y'all come back now...ya hear?

I think it took me 15 minutes just to catch up on posts.

I am still prepping for the craft show this weekend. I will be selling book marks, zipper pulls, elastic and wire bracelets and will take orders for Mother's bracelets.

I went off my progestrone today with only three days to go. I'm not sleeping at night and had to stay home this morning from work and get some shut eye.

I am feeling that negative yuk today. It makes me just want to stay away from everyone and shut myself up all alone. UGH!

Anyway, sorry I haven't been current with posting, my computer is being fixed (more memory, new hard drive). I don't always like to go on DH's computer to play.

Well, back to work and I hope to peek in again soon.

Would someone PM me please. I've changed my email address and want to see if it's working. Thanks.

Hello I am soooooo far behind. I am sorry so much has gone on. We are trying to be there for my husbands Mom (her husband just died) And of course I have been spending alot of time with my Mom. She is having surgery on OCT 7th Please keep her in your prayers that she even makes it through the surgery. She has such low blood pressure that she is at risk of not waking up. We will find out then what stage her cancer has spread to. I am doing better now I was such a mess as many of you know what stress does to IBS I almost had to be put in the hospital. Well I have got to run I will try to get on when I get home and catch up.

Thank you Mitchy for your PM/Hug. I did need it. I just feel like I put up a shell around me and I want to keep DH out.

Sami- I know the feeling of being so far behind in posting. Prayers are for you and your family.

My BIL is in Ann Arbor today and the University receiving another "treatment" for severe depression. My sister and I are doing a 24-hour water fast for his healing and for my DH (issues). I'm praying into these situations with the faith and hope of healing. Keep them in your prayers today. Thanks!

I actually went to curves Monday and I'm going again tonight after work. I will ask my daughter to bring her camera to the craft show Saturday so she can take pics of the event and then I can post them. I spend 4 hours working on zipper pulls and chain book marks. AND...another night of weird sleep.

Well, I have nothing to do here at work today, so I am inventing things. I will have another day like this on Friday. UGH!

Have a super blessed day all

Mkay, sorry to hear that things are not going well. Sending (((()))) your way. How are you doing with your eating? I am doing terrible, it is like once I cheated I just cannot get back to program again, I have one day great and then one stinks. I am going on strict again today as I failed at it the other day. It will help when my kids get out cuz they keep junk around and when I get in a mood I know where to look for it. Would love to see some of your work, of special interest to me are the zipper pulls and the mother's necklace. Maybe I could order some from you. PM and let me know. Also I was wondering if you could take an over the counter progesterone or maybe a cream. WalMart has one called estroplus which is the cheap version of Estroven.

Sami: I am so sorry about your fil and now your mom's upcoming surgery and battle with cancer. Also sorry that your IBS is in such a flare.

Figures the kids left for the day and I have a ton of errands to do in town. I could have been home alone all day. Tomorrow I am home all day but so are they. Cannot wait until they get moved out and I get my house to myself.

Took dad to see his surgeon yesterday and they took out the staples, he said he is doing wonderfully, and that a lot of people are not even out of ICU yet and here he has been home for a week. He doesn't have to go back for six months now then they will do an ultrasound to check everything out.

Sorry, I haven't been around much but too much going on and I haven't had time to get on the computer much and I felt guilty about just posting and not reading what was up with everyone.

Gary, busy as usual. With doing dog and cat rescue like I do it is so nice to hear someone saying my dogs are doing naughty things but I love them. We hear so much of "Mikey peed on the couch and it cost $3,000 so he has to find a new home." In my head I am thinking nasty words for that person but we have to be nice until we get our hands on the dog. Plus it is thankless work because people who only have a pet or two think we are crazy cuz we have so many animals around here and the people who abuse and mistreat just don't understand all the time and money we spend on them. But I have to admit if Bruce doesn't quit stealing things from the house to chew up in the yard I am gonna.....

Mitchy: So glad that you are enjoying the exercise and that you are feeling good.

Sunny, I truly enjoy all of your graphics.

Well, off to work and errands. Everyone have a peaceful day today.

I am thankful today for warmth. I've been so cold today at work, I actually had on my shirt and two sweaters. Now that I've been out thrift shopping at lunch in the heat and warm car...I feel much better now.

Bunna-
Well, I have been into the Hershey's Kisses...love them AND M&M Peanuts...like them just as much. BUT...Yesterday and today I will have done ok, especially today since I'm fasting and boy oh boy am I wanting a pizza . It is so very hard to get back on track. I got out my SB cookbook and picked out some recipes to cook, but first of all I have to get the food to cook it. Not this week.

Well, time for me to get back jack...to work that is. Hugs and Thanks!

Mitchy- Way cool about feeling great! Where are you and John going for dinner. Gee, DH and I haven't been out to dinner in a long time. Have fun and don't forget that cologne.

Eau de..........?

HI GALS

Warm here today so I am making a pasta salad for dinner...cheese tortellini, salami, artichoke hearts, black olives, zucchini, roasted red bell peppers with a red wine vinegar, fresh basil, garlic, salt and pepper dressing.

Gotta take the nephew to tennis practice...he better be on time! Monday I told him, "we are leaving in 10 minutes..be ready." WELL! a friend of his came to the door 5 minutes later (keep in mind Ron didn't make a move from the TV when I told him it was almost time to go)...and Ron "COULDN'T WAIT" to show his buddy the new "SHOCKING STAPLER" he got at Harbor Days at the harbor on Sunday....of course this is a side issue with me...WHAT IN THE HECK ARE YOU WASTING YOUR ALLOWANCE ON KNUCKLEHEAD?...did ya save any? waddaya mean NO!!? ya big goofball ...back to story...I headed to the truck and yelled at him that if he was in it when it left the driveway I would take him to tennis...he made in...of course no shoes on, racquet out of the bag, and buddy standing at the door wondering what in the heck just happened...warned him that I wouldn't remind him today--he just better be ready if he wants to go!

Wonder what you can get for a knucklehead nephew, 1 sparkle/shadow chasing dog and 1 RAIDER blanket chewin'..DIGGIN' dog? ...just wondering

SUNNYD Hey girl..Winslow is a tight end...with a BIG mouth..BUT! if he ends up half as good as his dad was he will really help you guys out when he heals...looks like he loses a big signing bonus though...serves him right for holding out "with ATTITUDE!"...Sometimes I don't get the Sunday paper..keep in mind we take 3 papers daily...the local, LA TIMES and the SAN DIEGO UNION...READ until thursday if we got a lot going on. Enjoy the "JOE" time
