Evening girls:cb:

I've been busy since I got home this afternoon, but wanted to say hi to everyone. My question...Is it Friday yet? LOL :lol: Hope everyone had a great day. Will try to post more tomorrow.

:dancer: Deb :dancer:

No Debbie, it isn't Friday yet.........but it's not far!!!!!!

Sherry, how was your bowling last night? Maybe Drew will become a professional bowler and make LOTS of money for his dear ole mother! He must be a chip off the old blockette!! LOL

Shelly, how is that stomach feeling? Have you been to the DR. yet?

Talk to you all later.....
Ramona

Do you remember me telling you about the wedding I was supposed to go to last weekend? Well, I didn't get to go, but I just got an e-mail from my friend. The groom's twin brother, his best friend and 2 other groomsmen were in a wreck on the way home after the wedding. His best friend and one of the other boys were killed. His twin brother has 2 broken legs, broken ribs, and a bad head laceration. The 4th boy is in critical condition.
Just think about everytime those kids look at their wedding pictures.......how sad. The church they were married in on Saturday held the funerals of their friends a few days later.

My life isn't so bad after all........

Oh, Ramona that is so sad it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. That is terrible.

Debbie just one more day.....your just about there.

Sherry your son is a fantastic bowler. Hey you proud mama.

Tonight Larry and I are going out to a theme dinner. It is french cooking. We go to this restaurant about twice a month. Each week they have a different theme. The food is awesome. Gee this isn't going to help my weight but there is tomorrow.
I can't remember if I told you girls about getting a letter this week being sumons for jury duty. I procrastinated about responding to this for a few days. Anyways I called yesterday and requested to be excused because of my heart condition. I got excused, that makes me happy because I really didn't want to do this.
Not much else new around here. Just going to do a little cleanning.
Hope you all have a good day.
Don't forget that is is survivor night for all you survivor fans.

DEE

Howdy :wave:

It's kinda quiet around here! Hope everyone is ok!! :) Probably just very busy.I can relate!!! :lol:

After work today I got my hair frosted & cut.I really like it! I was ready for a new change!!

Debbie,
I'm really looking forward to getting away for 4 days!! But I'm STILL a little scared to fly but I've got to make myself do it!!:D

Debyj,
You must be working hard! I miss your posts!! How is Max?

Gayle,
Where are you???? Are you ok???

Ramona,
That is so sad about the wedding party.My gosh, we never know do we? The couple will surely remember this for the rest of their lives.Bless all the families.:angel:

Dee,
Your evening out with hubby sounded great!!! Did you have fun? I'm glad that you got out of jury duty.I served 3 years ago & it lasted for 5 days!!! It was a rough case too! Thanks for the compliments on the banners.I sure have enjoyed making them!!

Vicki,
Are you ok? I asked in my last post if you were ok.You sounded depressed in your post.I just wanted to make sure that you were ok!!! :grouphug:

Shelley,
Are you off work on Parent/Teacher Conferences? We have one on Monday (7th) and I'm off w/out pay!! It seems like every year they are taking another day from us! :( But after working the ballgame on Sunday, I may be ready for a day off!!

Jennelle,
Hope you are doing ok too.Are you still taking those low-fat/low calorie lunches to work? Have you lost any more weight?

Hope everyone has a great OP weekend!!! :D

Hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear):cool:

Sherry-I am supposed to work on teacher duty days. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't but I still get paid, believe it or not!! Actually, I have never been written up for a sick day, since I am rarely out and I work much more than I am required to. The secretary never writes up abscence forms for me. I know what you mean though. It seems like we get paid less and less, and work more and more!! The day I go to the dr. is a duty day. I will probably just go in to work late.

Ramona-How horrible for the families of the wedding party.

I can't address everybody, I need to get out a jog this morning before it gets too hot.

BTW-Thanks everybody. I am still battling the depression. Yesterday was particularly bad. I had been up all night on the potty, then found out that a co-worker has tumors in her breast, and my mom called to say that my aunt had a stroke and is paralized on her right side. Also, the guy that my DH works with, has a 9 mo old grandchild that is being tested for spinal meningitis. Sometimes things just seem so awful!!

Okay, I'm going out to run off some of this stress and depression.

Love to all of you!

SHELLEY............

Hi girls!
I've been busy! Thanks for asking!! Max is doing just fine!!

Well, the Lord certainly answers prayers!! I have an interview with Vanderbilt hospital next week!! I"m soooo excited! It will be a much shorter drive for me and i can look at all those cute interns!! I'm also hoping for a dayshift position, but that's kinda hard when your a sleep technologist!!

Hope everyone is well!! ---debyj:)

Deby-Good luck!!!

Shelley big hugs to you. Your in my thoughts.
Debyj hope you get that job.
Guess what I woke up to yesterday. Shelley you are not going to believe this. I can't. SNOW about 1 inch and falling. Everything was winter white. The trees branches were all lined with snow. It was pretty but yet on the other hand it was to discustingly early for this. Glad that it has melted already because it will be back.
Have a good day everyone.

DEE

Hi ladies :wave: I'm still here...sunburnt from the football game yesterday. WE BEAT FLORIDA!!!!!! :D Biggest upset in college football this weekend, and I was there!

Anyhow...weight loss....ugh. :rolleyes: I haven't been doing that well food-wise. During PMS week, I crave carbs and sweets really badly...I haven't stepped on the scale yet...probably should, but I'm afraid at what I'll see! :eek: :lol:

On the upside, I must have walked four miles yesterday. We had to park about a mile and half from the stadium and walk, it was so crowded!

Hello Floozies :wave:

I'm off work today because of Teacher/Parent Conferences.I really needed this day after working the Titans game yesterday.I worked my butt off!!

I weighed this morning and was down 1 1/2 lbs.!!! :cb: My weight today is 172.5! The good news is I'm really not trying.Reckon it's "Working" it off???? :lol: On July 29th, my weight was 183...So I've lost 10.5 lbs.!! :dancer: It's coming off REAL SLOW but hey...I'll take it!! :D

Well this past weekend the VOLS won!!! The BRAVES lost & the Titans lost! :( But atleast one of my favorite teams won!!

I've got to get busy.I have a list of things that I would like to get done today.I hope that everyone is ok and that ya'll post soon!!! Guess I'm going to have to come lookin' for ya!! :lol:

Hugs,
Sherry (Sher-Bear):cool:

Hey Sher: I really hoped that if I hid out long enough, you & Deb would be getting airline tickets to Kansas instead of Florida!!! :( BTW: You are doing Super!!!!!!!!!

Shelley: I hope your feeling better!!!!! I suffer from a nervous tummy, I can't count all of the times I am so embarrassed because it decides to go on a rumbling rampage in the middle of a meeting!!!

Dee: Are you ice skating today on your pool???? I dread the thought of Winter here, snow is pretty looking out onto it, but I hate driving in the stuff!!!

Ramona: How are you feeling????? I noticed that you must be busy, not as many postings as usual.

Jen: Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Vickster: How's life?

Deb: Step away from that baby and post soon!!!!! :lol:

Deby: Good luck with the new job prospect!!!

Who did I forget??? I am sure that I did and I apologize!!!!!

Okay, time for me to share why I have not posted...
It has been a super busy three weeks, we had Convention stuff to get ready for a Regional Club convention that we had this past weekend, our three day trip to KC which was a combination of work and fun, then back here only to find out my Daughter procrastinated in getting into a College course, spent two days on the phone taking care of enrollment, book fees, grants and so on. Our parents are all elderly and not in the best of health, so we have been doing several chores, jobs and errands for them as well. The day before our Convention I find out that my friend and fellow club member who is suffering from cancer just found out that the cancer has spread to her brain. She started with breast cancer, then liver and lung cancer. She is taking a combination of radiation every day plus rounds of chemo. The convention ran Thursday through Sunday and it was a very stressful time making sure everything went well, plus the fact of finding out such horrible news. Today I am to be working on the club newsletter, but I'm in a lazy mood, just might not get it done today!!! If you girls have time, will you say a prayer for my friend? She has been through so much over the past few years. Over the past 6 months, she has found out every few weeks that the cancer has spread more and more. This friend also has a Son getting married mid October, she is bound and determined that she will make the trip. It will be in Florida and involves much flying and travel for her.

I hope everyone is doing well, it looks like several of you are busy. I do apologize for not having the chance to post sooner!!!!

Have a great OP day!!!! Love, Gayle

Oh, BTW: My dieting has sucked over the past two weeks. I need to get back on the wagon, but I can't seem to grab ahold of the rails!!!!

Gayle, I'll drive the buckboard up through Kansas. Just grab the rope and pull yourself back on!!! :yes:

Sherry, you are doing great! Keep it up girl!!!!! :goodvibes

I haven't lost any scale weight, but I've been really faithful with my Leslie Sansone tapes and I can sure tell it in the way my clothes fit. :)

You Vols fans, I think your coach summed up everyone's feelings Saturday night: It's a shame either team had to lose. Six overtimes!!! What a ride!:dancer:

Later all,
Ramona

I don't want anyone to say that "I" over work & do too much!! Did you read Gayle's post???????? SLOW DOWN GAYLE!!! Whew........I got tired just reading what you do!!!! Take a "Gayle Day" soon girl!!!! {{{ Hugs }}}

Gayle, Your friend will be in my daily prayers.Bless her heart! I sure hope that she'll be able to travel to witness her Son getting married.It will do them both some good.God Bless her.:angel:

Ramona, Can you believe the VOLS had 6 overtimes!!!!! Wow...what an awsome game!!!!!!! As big as a VOLS fan as I am, I can surely say that BOTH teams deserved to win that game!!

ok now both of you listen: Grab hold of that rope & hold on for dear life!!! You can & WILL lose this battle of this weight!! Ramona...I think its wonderful that you're loosing inches doing the tapes.As long as your clothes are getting bigger, that means it's working!! Don't worry about the weight. Gayle.....Don't gain your weight back! You've came so far & done so good!! Starting tomorrow get right back on plan!! You can do it!!!! :grouphug:

Sherry (Sher-Bear):twirly:

Sherry wow 10.5 lbs gone. Gee I know how hard that battle is! I am so proud of you.
Gayle so sorry to hear about your friend. That is so sad. I will pray for her too.
Ramona can I grab on to that rope too? I have had an eating frenzy for the last 2 weeks. not good certainly didn't lose the weight that I wanted too. I am up a pound. I am surprised that's all but I guess all the walking keeps me in check. I don't know why I am not a little string bean with all the walking that I do. no I know why I love sweets. Oh well on with the battle.
Jennelle that is great that you walked 4 miles. keep it up girl!

DEE

Sherry......do you realize that if you keep losing at the rate you are losing now, by the first of the year you will have lost almost 30 POUNDS? WooHoo, you go girl!

Gayle, I'll be remembering your friend. What a tough time for you both.

Dee, jump on girl. It's going to be a great ride!!!!!!!!

Debbie, don't you dare give up!!! 5 pounds is awesome. You can't judge yourself by others. Just keep doing what you are doing and you and Sherry will be out shopping for new clothes before you know it!!

Oh Gayle, TAKE A BREAK!!!!!

WTG Debbie!!!! :cb: Yeah....another pound gone forever!!! I think 5 lbs. is GREAT!! Don't get discourged...you're doing WONDERFUL!!:dancer:

Hi all.

Hey Sherry & Deb way to go on the weight loss.

I have been depressed lately with my Mom. She is ok physical but having hard time adjusting in her new place of residency.

Dh learning to drive and that is nerve racking to say the least.

Gayle sorry to hear about your friend. Take care

Everyone have a good week.

Vicki,

I hate that you're depressed & that bothers me.Your Mom will do fine as soon as she adjusts.Give her time.It won't be long until she'll be calling you and telling you all the things she's done! :)

Take care sweetie & please know that we're here for you!!! :grouphug:

Love you,
Sherry (Sher-Bear)
