KATHY!! What would you tell me if I said that??? I say you probably ought to go to the doctor...unless you haven't eaten anything today, and that would explain it. Have you eaten???

could you be dehydrated? have you been out in that heat?

Ooh, that's a good one! Good thinking Sandra.

No heat to speak of -- well, not directly out in it. I've had 3 bottles of water today, plus an extra glass. I had chicken, grapes and something else for lunch (memory is gone, I guess). We had Mexican food for dinner. I started feeling bad after that. I'm wondering if my blood pressure medicine needs to be adjusted. It almost seems like either my blood sugar or blood pressure just bottomed out.

I guess we'll see how it is in the morning. I still don't feel well.

Kathy please be careful! Maybe something is screwy with your meds.

Okay kathy - definitely a visit to the dr in the morning is in order if you don't feel any better - DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200 - GO DIRECLTY TO DR'S OFFICE - not good to be fainting - luckily you were able to catch yourself and did not get hurt.!

I am also so very sorry to hear about your uncle - your mom must be so upset - and understandably so - but it's obvious you can't be with her - and she must know you are with her in spirit at this very difficult time!

Vickie - how was your visit with your gr? Hope she is doing okay and was happy with the lovely presents you got her!

Niki - glad you like the tape - I just realized I have one of the (easy?) WATP somewhere downstairs? I think I like it cuz it's like a 20 min one and good when you want to do at least a little something.

Melissa - good luck with your 'chores' tomorrow - I'm sure you'll get some good activity points despite not having your walk tonight!

So how's the database coming along Froufie? Well I'm glad you asked - IT'S PURE AND UTTER GARBAGE - I can't understand how a consultant could let this product leave their place and actually give it to us to 'play' with! Obviously NO QUALITY ASSURANCE going on at that place. My staff member was fooling around with it - and reported back to me and there are so many glitches and problems that we are fed up.

So when the head consultant showed up this pm well I just told him how I felt - no more mrs nice guy - I said the next thing we get BETTER BE WORKING - AND GUESS WHAT YOUR PEOPLE ARE DOING THE QA - WE HAVE ALREADY WASTED 2 DAYS ON THIS - AND ARE NOT IMPRESSED. We expect to be given a final ALMOST PERFECT product that works! So computer developer will be in on Monday - as will consultant and we are to get a status report by end of day ....harumphhfffff!

That and finding out that a very expensive report we had done that cost around $20K was not really necessary really made my day!

Off to the gym after work - a bit of a feeding frenzy when I got home and had to even munch on popcorn as I was still in an eating mood. Hope all that salt does not affect me too badly - drank lots of water today tho!

LAUGH OF THE DAY!:
Dh went to pick up our new patio set at sears (even took the seats out of the van!). So it's 9 pm - warm and balmy night and he and I are in the driveway unloading the van and getting the stuff into the garage (patio not ready yet)...anyhow - I notice lots of those pesky mosquitoes buzzing around and I am trying to swat them away with one hand - and remove bubble wrap from chairs with the other. I feel several bites of course - give up and go in the house.

Now where was the frouf bitten you might ask! Well on her juicy bum of course! I have 3 HUMONGOUS BITES ON MY BEHIND - and they are itching like crazy - dh volunteered to spray some anti-itch stuff on them (well gee thanks!)....and I am just hoping I can sleep tonight. ....and there are a couple on my arm as well - guess I looked like a pretty good meal to those hungry mosquitoes!

Off to the gym in the morning (have to get weighed and measured) and nail appt at 11 am!

Nitey night

Frouf

Hey everyone, this is my first time posting in the chat thread :)

I have my nephew's first birthday party today at 11:30 , then i have to go set up for my sister in law's stag and doe that is tonight.. so i have a full day today!
Hoping to sneak some alone time with my hubby.. i get to see him for maybe an hour a day since he's been put on afternoon shift at work. I am in school from 8:30-1.. mon-friday.. i leave home at 7:30 and am home just in time to drive him to work.. and when he get's home i'm fast asleep. It really sucks!

I'm really hoping there is some healthy foods to eat at the party (parties!).. i know that my brother is having BBQ.. so i'll do my best to be good!

hope you all have a fantastic day!

Jenn

Hi Jenn,:welcome: You'll like it here.

Kathy, so sorry about your uncle. I do hope that you get to doctor today, and that all is well. You push yourself so hard.

Sandra, looks like we're all getting the heat now. It's going to be cloudy all day, but sunny tomorrow. We're going to be leaving for our "overnight" trip soon.

Melissa, sounds like everything is understood now. Our cycles go a little hairy when we play with nature. It's only a matter of time. My kids get their house August 1st. The only fly in the oinment is they haven't sold their's yet. I think they are going to rent it out on a monthly basis to a coleague who will keep it up and show it for them. They are going to leave most of their furniture there, and live as Steve says "bare bones" here for a while.

Frouf, when I hear your work stories, and know why I am so content away from the office. I used to bring my stresses home and it drove me crazy. Hope you enjoy sil's pool this weekend.

Vickie, how did yesterday go? Hope you find time to relax today.

Time to see what I want to wear tonight. If the weather is stinky, we'll go to the mall in Watertown.....

Good morning. I just talked to my mom and she said he's still hanging in there but it sounds like every breath his last one. He's to that "gasping" point. They sent him home (home being a nursing home as of last weekend) from the hospital and said there's no need to be there. There is a lot of family down there since all other aunts, uncles, and cousins live there. His wife died about five years ago and he has one child who is 40 but has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair, and lives in an assisted living place. I'm not sure what all is going to happen; two of my cousins have been handling his accounts and paperwork when needed. Thanks for all the good wishes.

I thought I felt a little better this morning, but my headache is back. No, make that my headacheS are back, one being 6 feet tall and annoying as all get-out. I felt so much better when he was gone; now this morning he has done nothing but yell at me and be rude. I'm about to tell him to jump in the lake. Now won't 11 hours in the truck next weekend be a real hoot? He'd better unbunch his panties PDQ and start being nice.

Welcome, Jenn! I hope you have a great day today and that the food doesn't present much of a problem. BBQ seems to be one of the things I don't overeat on; it would be a perfect thing to keep me on the straight and narrow. Have fun tonight too.

Saundra, are you out of town right now? Enjoy your time away if so. I hope the kids sell their other house soon though. I didn't know it wasn't sold yet! Yikes, how scary that could be -- but thankfully it looks like they have a plan.

Frouf, I just had to laugh out loud at the mosquitos stinging you on the tushie! Your account of it was just hilarious and the whole time I was picturing it. Now you know you'll be scratching there for a few days -- which could lead to some interesting (and uncomfortable?) moments at the office next week! :lol: Good luck with the database issues too.

Vickie, how's your gf doing? I hope much better; hopefully the antibiotics and other things are kicking in by now. How soon before another chemo treatment?

I guess I should go try to do a few things. Judd was thinking I wanted to go into work early this morning and so I think that was one thing that ticked him off, when I said I wasn't ready to go. Actually he was sitting in the truck waiting for me.

Barking dogs -- better go check on things.

Hope you don't mind a newbie joining :)

I'm starting the core plan today, and so far so good! (Fruit for breakfast! :lol: )

Hi Chicks! Yesterday was a horrible strain. GF is NOT doing well. They don't know what to do for her. I'm about to call her now. Yesterday was hard. I succumbed to stress eating when I got home. Cheese pizza was the best I could be. I'm on the phone with GF now. I've got a million things to do today. I'll try to be back later. Light and love to you all. Thanks for all the prayers.

Hi everyone, we got a lot moved yesterday in the pouring rain. Everytime we were ready for another load it would start raining. Nothing was damaged though. I don't have much furniture left to move but a ton of boxes and I still have some packing to do. We both have to work tonight and tomorrow night so I won't get much done until Monday afternoon.
:welcome2: to Jenn and MrsQue, you will enjoy it here. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
I better go find some lunch and maybe pack a few boxes for a little while. I plan on just doing nothing for a couple of hours before I have to go to work.
I may not be able to post again until Monday depending on how tired I am after work tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone.

i got up and went to water aerobics this am. that makes 5 times this week. it's soooo addicting. there are no classes tomorrow. they do have a yoga class. i may try it if it looks like i can fit it in since it's right after lunch. i'm not sure i can swing it. we'll see.

there's a children's only archery tournament at the club range this afternoon. we're going over with our tent awning so they can use it for the registration area. also, curtis is taking extra arrows for the kiddos.

frouf, sorry about the bum bites. i hope you're not scratching in public. well, i know you're not. you must be liking the gym as much as i'm liking water aerobics. i think we found our exercise that's perfect for us, don't you?

jenn, i'm glad you decided to post here. what is a stagg and doe party? i've never heard of it.

saundra, it's hot here again. it sounds like you and bernie have a fun trip planned. do you live close to watertown?

kathy, take that 6 ft headache down a notch or two. i know you can do it.

welcome, mrsq. it's good to have you here. i had a banana for bfast this am. what fruit did you have?

vickie, i was worrying about you and your gf. i am so glad you're able to be with her.

paula, i hope the rain stops and you can finish moving. i know you're ready to be settling in your new home.

just had the tortilla-crusted tilapia for lunch. it was delicious!! i nuked a little spreadable apricot fruit in water and drizzled it over the top. curtis loved it. i highly recommend it.

Kathy - hope BOTH your headaches are under control by now! Glad to hear your uncles is surrounded by family and friends tho it must be difficult for all!

Vickie - I sure hope they can do something to help your gf. I am so sure your visit and support are a godsend. Don't worry about the stress eating too much - it is certainly understandable. Just make sure you get your healthy fruits and veggies in as well!

Welcome Jenn and Mrs Que - hope you like it here. Go check out the Coreporate Profile board and let us know all about you too! Jenn - good luck with your 'events' today - I'm sure you can find something that would be okay to eat! Have fun.

Sandra - go ahead and try the yoga - you never know - you might like it too!

Saundra - hope you missed the rain and are enjoying yourself at your weekend destination.

I almost slept in this morning (9:20) then decided I should go to the gym before my manicure (11 am) - needed to get weighed/meausre - and work out too of course!

I am very proud to report that I am officially down 9 lbs and lost 11 inches! Isn't that amazing? (okay probably some room for error in measuring). Body fat down 5% as well. I am very pleased with my results and hope to continue this downward trend!

And yes kathy - my bitten bum was fine until I started exercising - then the itching began but I dared not scratch - what would the other ladies think? ha ha ha :D. Maybe time for dh to do some more spraying? LOL

My nails are now a lovely deep pink color - but the problem is I did let myself get too hungry (should have brought a snack for between gym and manicure), got groceries on the way home - and then had to inhale food quickly (some veggies/dip, 2 slices dark rye, and a lf lean cuisine microwave pizza). Now I am full and happy!

We were planning to go out to the garden centre soon but it is now POURING BUCKETS - it has been supremely hot and humid all day - gray - but you sure wouldn't want to be outside now! At least the plants are getting watered! (more like drowned).

Might go have a nap given the gloomy weather and time running out to really do anything? Not sure if we will even make it to sil's pool this weekend as dh has a gig tomorrow afternoon around 4 pm!

Will check in later!
