Morning Again
Been a bit of a busy morning for me. Had to take Michael to school then rush back to be able to get in my walk, which I did in 46:45, not my best time, but not too shabby either. Took Lauren to school and have been on the phone and computer ever since. Can't believe it's almost 11am, and probably, will be Noon before I finish this post.
Seems the scale is on an upward swing today, up 1.5 from yesterday, that means I'll go up a little more before coming back down sometime next week
I submitted the 4 recipes I thought would be good for the agave syrup label. My BBQ SAUCE, FRUIT SMOOTHIE, BRAN MUFFINS & ALMOND GRANOLA, which I must say, the Almond Granola came out soooo good! It's to die for! I had 4 ounces

this morning! Anyhow, I don't think she got my e-mail yet, but I'm hoping they are all okay with her. No price was finalized so I feel this was sent out somewhat blindly, but I hope all will be fine and this will just be the start.
THEN, I was on the phone with FRED, this gentleman that owns this company that has the shirts that I mentioned about 3 weeks ago. He sent me one of the shirts that says
DRIVE WITH CAUTION, YIELD, WALKER IN ROAD Being that I've sold T-shirts in the past, I was quite surprised at the wonderful quality of this shirt! I actually wore a white shirt the other day when I went to walk-something unheard of for me! Anyhow, I called him today to thank him and got into a discussion, blah, blah, blah and the bottom line is, he may be interested in having me rep his line down here in South Florida!!!! Another income possibility!! He's going to get some info down to me ASAP and I"m going to see what I can do with it locally-cross your fingers for me gals!!
Wanted to let you know that I got an e-mail from ANN (AMSER). I think I mentioned her brother and SIL were in a car wreck a few weeks ago and he's been in the hospital due to this. Anyhow, here's her latest e-mail:
Dear friends,
Many of you know about the car wreck my brother, Johnny was in the weekend before Thanksgiving. Well, tomorrow he goes back into the hospital at 5am for surgery on his broken leg and arm. His leg is the biggest concern. There are many fractures in his shin bone, and damaged ligaments going into his knee. His knee is badly damaged. Of course noone knows what the future holds, but the Drs aren't sure how well his leg will recover and function as nornal. They anticipate the surgery lasting anywhere from 8-10 hours. Please, I ask you all to keep him, his wife, Amelia, his son, Chris who has been there with them to give them suppand, the rest of us - his family - AND the doctors etc who will be operating on Johnny, in your prayers. My brother has a long road ahead of him with recovery and rehab. We have truly been saddened by this.
Thank you all for reading this and being such good friends.
All my love,
Ann
She's hoping to be back on the board with us soon
I also heard from QUILTER and she too is hoping to get back with us in the near future
My Mom sent this to me today-too cute not to pass along:
When I'm an old lady, I'll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness... just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they've provided,
Returning each deed. Oh, they'll be so excited!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
I'll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,
And bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes.
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
When they're on the phone and just out of reach,
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach,
Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head,
And when that is done I'll hide under the bed!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I'll not eat my green beans or salad or meat.
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry I'll run... if I'm able!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click,
I'll cross both my eyes just to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud 'til the end of the day!
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan.
"She's so sweet when she's sleeping!"
(When I'm an old lady and live with my kids)
There are a few new features on the board, check out SUZANNE'S STICKY MESSAGE for more details. Also, the direct link to the chat room has been removed, but you can still easily get to the chat room by clicking on CHAT. She's suppose to make it so we won't have to go through the entry room first, but I just checked and so far, that hasn't happened. Just hate going through there-people think we're rude if we don't stop to chat and just use it as an entry for our room.
LAMAP, I commend you for getting in that 3 mile walk despite being overly tired-good for you

LOL! ME stands for Middle Eastern-sorry 'bout that-hope you didn't wrack your brains too much trying to figure that one out.
ZANNE, so glad you liked the MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY thoughts-I love RM's quotes-what insight that man has and boy, does he have a way with words!!! I, like you, seem to find that exercise curbs my appetite for quite a while. I may start out hungry, but when I get back that feeling seems to of disappeared. Yes, it's easier to reply to the board when it's slow-but that isn't always the case, so you do what you can, when you can-we all understand that it's not easy for everyone to come on every day and post a big message like I do-if I had a job, I surely would be able to be on here as much as I am.
CRICKETT, I read the GLUCOSE REVOLUTION LIFE PLAN, the lastest book and found many things confusing. I read everything I can get my hands on but ultimately, it's up to us how to use the information that we read. I've done well with just following Montignac/SB and that's about what I'm going to stay with the rest of my life-as they say, if it ain't broke, why fix it!!!!
Okay, I've GOT to get in the shower, the morning is almost gone!!!
I'll check in later!
