Good morning gals! Rough day and all night last night. I was cramping a lot and nothing helped. I came downstairs about 2 and took Advil and put a heating pad on my back and one on my front and the pain finally went away. This will be a discussion I will have with my doctor for sure to find out why I am still having all of this and I am almost 56. Want to make sure nothing is amiss so to speak.
Susan: We can't wait to go to the movie, but have to go towards the end of the week. I already bought our tickets for a 11:15 pm show on Friday night. We will still have to be there 90 minutes early to get in line, but you do what you have to do! They sold tickets to the midnight Wed show a couple weeks ago so you couldn't go to that one if you wanted to. I posted the fudgesicle ice cream recipe on our recipe thread. They said the white chocolate pudding is a huge hit. yum! Fortune gets a treat everytime he goes out to go to the bathroom. We started it to train him, but it has become a "anytime I go I get a treat" so now if he goes on the puppy pads, he goes to the door to be let out, goes out and wants right back in then goes to the closet where we have the treats and sits and waits for us to get him one. It is pretty funny actually and you can tell when he has gone on puppy pads because he comes racing into the living room like his tail is on fire.
Jean: Thomas is all that and a mile more. As smart as he is, he could be an obnoxious little thing, but they have brought him up well and he is sweet and smart and funny and delightful. I would even like him if he were someone elses grandson!
Though, I think I am glad he is mine!
The ice cream turned out grand and I put aside a container to take to Thomas on Monday. We had a treat after dinner last night, but this stuff is 6 pt per 1/2 c serving so it sure isn't something we would eat very often. I am going to get some puddings at the commissary tomorrow and try a couple different types. As it is only 1 pt a serving it will be fun to have a bunch different kinds of ice cream that aren't
fattening to have. I mean, any of the WW or Skinny Cow's are at least 2 pt apiece.
Well, I have done nothing, the laundry has stopped so it needs to go into the dryer.
Hope you all have a grand weekend. As I said, shopping is in ours!

I get so tired of that and it seems to be happening in all of our local stores. I bought another kind so hope he likes them. He eats Science Diet dry food and gets about 1/3 of a can of Fancy Feast wet food for breakfast every morning. He knows which cupboard has what in it! You have probably said, but do you do breathing treatments at home? You mentioned the respiratory tech for this afternoon and that made me think of it. MIL had to do those after she was in the hospital the first time.
Our last movie starts around 9 pm; we usually go to the early show at 7. 
Thank you for finding the recipe thread as I was looking for it and didn't see it. I had a recipe from a WW leader's newsletter to post. I haven't tried it but it sounded good. We have a very obnoxious boy that goes to our church. His parents are both professors and he appears to be very articulate and smart beyond his age. When they do the children's sermon he is always the one waving his hand and blurting out answers w/o giving the other kids a chance. He wears his hair quite long and could be mistaken for a girl -- he has a little sister so I don't know why they don't cut his hair! 
Let us know how the ice cream recipes turn out. Do you cook your mixture?
from Iowa!
Finally Friday
