Hello Everyone..Please forgive me for not posting earlier.. I have been so busy these last few days..Please let me say again..
A BIG THANK-YOU TO ALL OF YOU..FOR BEING HERE AND HELPING ME THROUGH A LONG HARD JOURNEY..but we made it Thank the Good Lord and now we are going to go and get some much needed time together to relax and just be...We are leaving Saturday really early in the am around 5:00am..I want to be at the motel by 3:00..check in time..
We have been getting our patio ready for all the high winds and rain that is on its way..also..I got a earlier hair appointment for 1:00 pm instead of 3:00....The weather man said the storm will start around 5:00 so I am hoping to be home long before that..
I am praying that Isable does not harm anyone...I just wish she would fizzle out to sea and leave the coast line alone..
I am going to buy a disposible camera and take pictures..I will have them put on a CD so I can show them to all of you when we return..I am so excited..

Rosey..{{{{{{{{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}}}}} ..I know that this is not what Steve wanted to hear or you either..No one wants to go out on retirement like this.. I know that its hard to deal with but I know that both of you will adjust..I will always be here for you to vent and hold your hand too.. I think the trip to see your Mom is wonderful..Like you said its such a relief to make good plans for a change.. I know what you mean there...I hope that you both can feel better about all of this real soon.. I am looking forward to getting on the diet plan and exercising when we get back from the beach.... You have done so good Rosey with your WW durring all these stressful times.. I am so impressed..I know that you will continue giving your best..Thank-you so much for all your support and caring and prayers through all of my stressful times and I will always be here to support you also...God Bless you and yours...

Donna...WAY TO GO ON YOUR 2.5 POUNDS LOSS.. I knew that you would do it Yes Donna I have been up a storm..too.. I am really so thankful we got great news.. I cant tell you the relief we both felt..and now its time to go on with other things and get both of us back in shape..I am really going to get with it when we get home..God Bless you for all of your support and caring and prayers through all of this when you had alot going on with you too sweetie... Just know that I will always be here for you too..I am praying that Isabel doesnt do anything in your area. or anyone else's. I heard on the news that maybe just winds and rain.. like here..so we are keeping a watchful eye on all of this.. I hope that your Bible class was good and I can just picture all of this going on with Elena and a lizard too ..Atleast its now a snake.. I could not handle that one

Dana...That was such a sweet thing to say about my talking to each person....thank you..I dont know any other way
I am glad that Brett.s sugar was down.. Did you get a chance to speak to the nurse??I hope that its stays down for him.. I am sure that the Dr. can ajust his meds to help.. like you said..I cant never understand why they had to make it illegal to pray anywhere if you chose to do so.. I wont get into that..cause I can go on and on...I just think its wrong of the government to do that..I am going to call down to MB and see what is going on before we go..I had planned on doing that but that was great advice.. I cant even think about Christmas shopping yet..You are really organized to do that..Way To Go..and really nows the time to find some really good buys for Christmas..I meant to to tell you that I thought it was so cute of Logan looking at the cheerleaders..They grow up so quick..
As far as WW goes.. If you have a check card from your Bank..you can use that to pay for WW on line. I believe they are running a special for 59.00 that covers membership fee and 3 months of WW..After that its 14.00 per month..Check with Donna..and see.. I know that I am going to try to join on line when we get back..or follow a plan of my own...I know what to do its just doing it. I do understand about the money part..it is so hard when money is tight..Like you said..You can do your own thing and follow points too..I will prob do that too..we can do it together..
I want to Thank you for all your kind support...caring and prayers durring all these stressful times..Enjoy the BD party on Friday..Wave:

Kris..Thank you for all your kind caring support and prayers..and the WaHOOOOOOOOO TOOO... It feels so good to be able to say.....WAHOOOOOOOOOO.

Glen.....I mean Ken....Yes please have that beer and Thank-you for all your kind support and prayers..I will have a toast when we get to the beach..I cant wait..also we are higher than ..We will be on that cloud for sometime..cause its wonderful up there

[dlzbth]

Sometimes I get so involved in the day I forget I should post an entry! I'm so sorry it's taken me all day to post. Rosey, I can only imagine all the paper work you have to fill out and I am glad that you are planning a trip to see your mother for you have been wanting to go as long as I have known you. You need to do this.

Summer, are you ok with the hurricane? I know NC and Virginia have been hit hard and even though it isn't as strong as it was once feared Isabel still was a strong storm. However, I think MB was spared and you should be able to go to your beloved MB on Saturday with no troubles. I haven't spoken to my Dad so I don't know about his house but I don't expect there was anything like NC got. Although his house is near the NC/SC line.

Sheree, your house is really shaping up fast! I can't believe how far along they have come already. When do you expect completion?

Daphne, how is Megan doing? How are YOU doing??

What a great feeling to put on capri pants I just bought in June for our NJ trip to find they are probably a good size too big now! I love this feeling!!

Dana, I meant to answer you with your question on WW online. I don't recall if you can use a check number so they can debit your checking account or not. Some places do that. I'll have to look into that but I paid the same amount that Summer was saying for the three months then 14.95 a month after that. I am just getting into my third month in the next couple of weeks. Although you are really left on your own sorta speak with online, you have all the tools you need. You have your food journal that you record your daily intake and it gives you many recipes and even a menu planner plus you can specialize it for a balanced menu or a low carb whatever your preference. You have a community you can get advice from and you have the points calculator that has many, many different foods that you can just put the name of in it and it gives you the point value of that. OH! And my favorite is the recipie builder where you can put in your favorite recipes and it figures out the point value of that recipe. If you can't afford this right now I will help you all that I can to get you going if you choose to do this. Although I put this expense off so long and when I finally put my money where my mouth was sorta speak I finally got serious. I have a food companion and I have this so together that helps.

I really didn't think I would like the flex point system but it really does give you flexibility you didn't feel like you had before. Although I wish you could carry over your activity points still.

Well, gotta go. One more day then it's finally the weekend. LOL

TTFN!

Donna

[dabrat]

[lakelog]

I was just checking to see if summer posted today. Hopefully she will yet. I know that 17 people were killed from that hurricane and millions without power up that way. Hope she's ok and can drop us a line before heading to MB.

daphne I'm so sorry you are dealing with those migraines. How terrible. Do you have anything prescriptive for them? Hope it's over by now. I miss hearing from you.

Well I need to run and take my bath. I didn't go to the ball game tonight but they will be back home in 2 weeks for homecoming so we'll make it then. I have to take kids to kevin's neice's birthday party tomorrow. She will 4 on the 21st. It's at a place called Kid City which is like a huge indoor playground. It's about 45 minutes from here and DH has to work so I have to go at it alone. I hope I find it and we make it there ok.

They upped brett's insulin but I still dont think it will be enough. He was 367 just prior to supper but of course he hasn't had the new doses yet. His supper dose stayed the same. Hope you all have a great weekend and I hope to post again soon.

[hefty1]

where are the barbie dolls? i guess your out with your ken dolls (husbands) i gained this week.summer post soon please glen

[lakelog]

I guess summer is sunning her self down at the beach by now. I don't recall how long they would be gone but wish them well and hope they have a wonderful rested time.

We went to the party and it went pretty well. It was at Kid City which is a big indoor playground. The twins ate cake but the rest of us haven't and were headed to eat out for supper on the way home and the boys couldn't stop arguing so DH turned the car around. I hope that doesn't mean I have to whip something up again. I cooked lunch. Anyway, nothing is going on here but thought I would check in anyway. Sorry you gained glen but your record will show you will lose a big one this next week.

I forgot to mention yesterday that my mom bought laken a small trampoline and "I've" really enjoyed it already.

[dabrat]

LOL Dana I can just see you jumping on the trampoline! I am feeling better today finally. Megan is doing better as well. I had a gain of 1.4 this week. I knew that I would. It sucked being stuck here at home all week. I hope to post more now that Megan will be back in school Monday and I will be free again. So far Walmart is working for now. I was able to get onto the board to post at least. I will have to see if I am able to post. I was going to go back and read the prior post but don't have the patience for it. So I hope that I don't offend anyone. Have a great day everyone!
Daphne
