Hello all!
Was awoken about 1 or 2 am by smoke detectors blasting.... DS asleep in the living room as a pan burned on the stove.... house was full of smoke... took me a long time to be able to go back to sleep..... This has been a longstanding fear of mine w/ him.... I know DH is waiting for my comments.... House still smells of smoke.... BUT... it is Friday... And I have doubled up some on Black Cohosh and Magnesium... hoping that I will be more comfortable physically as well as mentally.... And because its Friday, here are both Thursday's and Friday's thoughts of the day.... ***** Thought of the day: "Use what talent you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.'' ---Henry VanDyke Question of the day: "What is your favorite song?" *********** "The past does not equal the future. Because you may have failed a moment ago, all day today, or for the last six months, or for the last sixteen years, or for the last fifty years of your life doesn't mean anything. All that matters is what are you going to do now?" ~Tony Robbins ******** Here's a group hug for all of us.... I need one so I am initiating... (((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))) Anagram.... Sending lots and lots of good thoughts about the baby! Kettle is on. |
:welcome: ... ok, I gotta have that sign again!!!! Sorry, I be in brevity mode now as running vastly late!!!! Huzzah to all :queen: s and challengers!!!
Anagramatic, that is indeed worryin' news re thy grandchild, but there's so much they can do these days in these situations. Crossin' fingers and toes but know all will be well with the wee one. Good for you for doin' your walkin' ... yea, Wally World is a veritable walkin' paradise ... I like to walkie about and scope out what I need and then after a good brisk hike, I start shoppin' ... which also burns cals!!! :) Kaylets, that's scary about the fire. I can't tell ya how many times I've done that kind of thing (leavin' a pan on the stove) ... glad you're ok. E!!!! :wave: Great menu. I will post my super simple turkey loaf recipe here soon ... you could use soy. You're doin' great and are gonna ace this challenge!!! My challenge report: 1673 for yesterday, exercise previously posted. Today's X was 25 min weights in the gym (general light workout) and 20 minutes walking, combined indoor track and treadmill. |
Yes, very scary, Kaylets! Methinks DH probably knows what thy comments are/will be. Doubt you need to actually elucidate. Probably has a few of his own too. What are DS's? Is it somehow going to be someone else's fault? Any apology or sense of being responsible?
|
Wee hours again. Went to bed around nine to "get a good nigh's sleep" - awoke at midnight (that's the problem with trying to drink more water". While still awake an hour later I hear a voice on the monitor "are you up?". Well, more or less. So I came, repositioned, Pepsi'd, retucked and here I am almost an hour later, still up. So I 'm here for a palace prowl. And then hopefully back to bed.
Was a tough day. DH b.p. way low - I suspect overmedicated/over dialyzed. Well, not suspect, sure. Steps in place now but I've been mentioning it forever it seems. Nurse came in to take out line for IVs yesterday (yay!!! done!!!) and was able to take b.p. in arm instead of thigh and was much lower. Hoping he'll pick up a bit now from med correction and no more antibiotics. Rainy, rainy, rainy here and through the next few days. No walking until Monday at least. DS staying home this weekend (the fourth time since June 8th - I'd say he's earned it - will come if I change my mind) - DD coming tomorrow w/ princesses for a bit. I have really lost my relaxation techniques - lack of practice I guess. But gonna go try again. |
Huzzah, Anagramatic!!!! I was up at all hours workin' (and now off to do photoshoot) and I empathize with your lack of sleep. It's a pain. Keep trekkin' ... sounds like dh is doin' better and better ... paraphrasing Coue (sp?): Every day in every way he's gettin' better and better.
And so are we all!!! |
The Challenge Manifesto, Or It's Later Than We Think!!!
HERE YE, HERE YE, TWO WEEK HALLOWEEN CHALLENGERS, WE ARE MORE OR LESS SEVEN DAYS (we started on slightly different days, but that's the gist o' it, methinks) INTO THIS AND THE SPIRIT OF PARTICIPATION WAFTIN' THROUGH THESE ANCIENT (ok, not ancient, as we're all so young) ROYAL HALLS HAS BEEN HIGH ALL WEEK AS WE CONTEMPLATE OUR :welcome: BANNER GLOWIN' WITH MAGICKAL NEW SPIRIT, REMINDIN' US THAT THIS, AFTER ALL, IS THE START OF OUR MARCH TOWARDS A WONDERFUL SVELTE BOD TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR!!!!
Let's go, Challengers, let's make this the most dedicated challenge weekend ever. The Towel Boys have laid out the best silver in the GREAT HALL and the amazin' Royal Spa Cook (Hag Elbertine Crone, 100-years-young and still a size 14 packed with GLORIOUS low glycemic muscle), hath laid out a spread o' endless weekend goodies (all calorie free, of course)!!! Come one, come all, report, report, report, let's keep the participation high this weekend so's all our fellow queenlike cronies can bask in our reflected glory ... huzzah!!! No deviations from the program I am testing some Nutri System Nourish program foods I bought off coworker yesterday. These are ostensibly low glycemic but have some ingredients I don't like, however, they are good in a pinch and very appetite suppressing ... some have a bit o' sugar in 'em but they are mostly "legal" on SB ... good for on the go, which is where I need to be!!! Huzzah! |
Forgot my CHALLENGE REPORT: Friday cals 1754, exercise previously reported!!!
DON'T FORGET :nono: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: HALLOWEEN (THEN CHRISTMAS OR WHATEVER FLOATETH THY SPIRITUAL BOATIE, THEN 2006 AND WE WANNA BE AT OUR BEST WHEN THAT HAPPENS, SO NO DEVIATIONS FROM OUR PROGRAM SHOULD BE TOLERATED ... THIS MEANS YOU, AMARANTHA, 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU WANT A DONUT! ~ Signed, Officer Right Eat o' the Universal Dietary Law Consortium Secret Police Force (Our motto: "We KNOW what you're thinkin' o' eatin' and we aren't gonna let ya!!!) |
Ok, I had a Nemo cake!!! Sheesh!!! NOW, I'll go back to bein' sugar free!
I TRIED to resist that Nemo :devil: ... it flew OFF the refrigerated shelf at Walgreen's and landed on my shoulder and proceeded to whisper sweet nothin's in my ear until I was unable to fight anymore. These Nemos are EVIL, :queen: s, please be careful as ye go out 'n about your :queen: ly duties. That is all! |
Well, Empress, I had a great nap this rainy afternoon. Weighed in this a.m. and was happy to see any gain had been only temporary. Nothing more lost yet but at least was still at that nice little number in onederland. Was afraid I had botched that up big time. People all around telling me how much weight I've lost and there's certainly been none recently. Hmmmm! Must be something to wearing clothes too big!
|
HOORAY FOR :queen: ANAGRAMATIC!!!! :cheer: Good work on the great weigh-in, Anagram! And a maintain is a loss in my book. That's great that people around ya are mentionin' the weight loss ... these things really do show in the bod before the scale tells it's tale, so you likely have lost and it'll stablize down even futher soon.
I am just about to take a nap as well, even though there is no rain here ... just endless sun, which is good, as I hate rain! :) Well, actually, it DOES rain in Arizona ... don't wanna mislead anyone thinkin' o' movin' here ... and it's crowded in the metro areas and there's always a thermal inversion and it's verra verra hot in the summer (plus the spring and fall, usually, not this year), so hot you will fry and moan and cry until thy blood thinneth, which takes years, unless you go up north each summer and return in the winter, which lots do, but then they don't really need thin blood. So I wouldna advise movin' here ... I'd advise Minnesota or someplace! :s: I am ramblin' ... let's get this party rockin' ... I saw a post by Punkin on another part o' the forum ... Punkin, art thou here? Sign in, please. I, for one, miss thee. Ok, nappie time. I'll turn the sign back on and leave a light in the window at the top o' the belfry ... there are bats up there, so be careful. :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: :welcome: |
Hmmm, I see I am postin' too much again! :) Sometimes I get a little too enthusiastic about the palace or a challenge or a thread and post too many in a row. Gonna take a little hiatus and save space for others ... still dedicated to this goal, though.

Friday
coffee w/ 1/2 and 1/2
2 eggs, 2 egg whites, scrambled mini. ww bagel w/ lite cream cheese rice and refried beans [at Taco bell] small ww pita [smuggled in] 2 fruit-sweet. ww fig bars [also smuggled] 2 no-sugar oatmeal cookies brown rice w/ veg. chili 2 clementines a few cashews water: 8 glasses calories: 1640 exercise: 2 miles treadmill |
Anagram, are you having trouble sleeping or are you up in the night attending to your DH? Glad to know you're still in 1-der-land!
Amarantha, I'm much relieved we don't have Nemo cakes around here. Altho I was hypnotized by some sugar-free mint milano cookies today--yes, I purchased them but only had 2 but it would've been so easy to triple that! I'm buying an occasional sugar-free thing when I'm feeling nostalgic these days. I don't feel great about the mallitols and splenda and all that, and still much prefer my homemade naturally sweetened stuff though. Went to a vegeatrian restauarant today that serves alot of meat substitutes and I had a "fish" dish today. As a long time vegetarian it was actually a little too much like the real thing---freaky! Not that there's anything wrong with eating meat, it just took me by surprise! I have news! Yesterday I stepped on the scales again and I'd suddenly lost 3 pounds! :D That's how it is with me every time. Nothing and then bam! a few gone all at once. So I'm at 137 now. That would be so cool if I could get back down to 135 by Halloween. Probably a touch unrealistic though. |
A combination of both, Eydie. I'm up now because I heard him on the monitor asking if i was up. Fortunately, I had gone to bed early and had a good six hours sleep in. Came down, got him out of bed, rearranged and back in. Now he's sleeping, I'm not. I'll prowl a bit and then go back to bed but likely won't really sleep. Yesterday it was me. Sometimes, it's his machine. Sometimes I can just hear that he's restless, often he calls out. Isn't really aware of time but I'd rather he calls than have him uncomfortable. Even his in-bed mobility is limited though better than it had been.
Been having a low blood pressure incident (dh) the last several days. Think it may have been a part of a problem. Suspect some overmedication. Long story but it may bring him a bit more back when we get it sorted out. Also being off the strong antibiotics should help. We had a nice day yesterday. No one came except a neighbor who picked up some groceries. Only one medical phone call, etc.I got a good bit of rest (relatively speaking) and then more than six hours of sleep so far. Wow! Congrats on the 3 lbs down! 135.something probably very doable and I think that falls within the Palace rules (or mine anyway). Empress, I had posted (apparently lost) that it's your posting enthusiasm that keepeth me going so please do not hiate from same. I love when you're on your weekend, "I'll do anything to postpone this work", rambles and ruminations. I NEED your SIS BOOM BAH! When you share, a tiny bit comes East and reaches Central PA and I grab as much of it as I can. |
Good morning Royals!
Happy Birthday yesterday to Frogger's DH! We celebrated my own DH's birthday yesterday, too. He's such a practical sort...all he wanted for his birthday was some new work duds (now that he's changed from IT guy to Shipping Foreman at work, the dress shirts/pants just aren't appropriate while crating and shipping!) and wanted me to make his favorite meal. He went in to work some overtime at 7am yesterday, met me at Walmart around 1pm to pick out some work clothes, came grocery shopping and helped me haul in a tonne of groceries (cupboards were BARE), then we had a relaxing dinner and watched a movie. More of same today is on the agenda. Thinking we might venture to the pumpkin farm to pick up some pumpkins for carving if the rain holds off. I needed a break...last week was too busy! I really should get outside and pull up the annuals from the front beds and plant some spring bulbs. Here I go, filling up the day already... I am reading an interesting take on the weight loss/fitness deal and it makes a lot of sense. My daughter went to check out Good Life fitness center and they gave her a book written by the owner during the orientation. It is a very back to basics approach and one that believes you don't have to kill yourself or have all these fancy fitness gadgets to get in shape. 20 minutes, three times a week, and a mixture of cardio and weight training. It is refreshing in the barrage of "latest and greatest, THIS is the answer to your fitness challenges" type promotions to see one that brings it back to simple science. Eydie, congrats on the 3lbs!! |
Yowza, Anagramatic! I posted on here earlier that I really appreciate your words and that I was gonna start a challenge-a-week thread, which I did, but am gonna delete. Doesn't seem like a relevant idea right now. Sendin' good vibes thy way. You are the greatest.
Eydie, congrats on the three pounds! :cheer: Wildfire, sounds like an interestin' book. I know I need lots more than 20 minutes of exercise three times a week to be fit but sounds like it would be good for some. |
Good Morning ladies! DH thanks the ladies here for all the good wishes for his birthday. He had a good one!
I have not been avoiding the forum intentionally. Guess what happend to me? I woke up on Wed. morning, got ready for work and was just about out the door when I felt a rumbly in my tumbly. Long story short, I had food poisoning from the dad blasted pizza that was ordered the night before. I was SO SICK. I thought I was doing so good to when we ordered! I only had 2 slices and really couldn't finish the second one. I was the only one to have mushrooms on mine, so thank goodness baby and DH didn't get sick. All is well now though. And you know what? Even after all that getting rid of the pizza thing, I haven't lost a pound. GO FIGURE! Well, I'll be around catching up on here. (Not at work) No one missed me here. How cute are these? :) :lol: :carrot: I just saw them. Tootles |
Oh my, frogger, that is soooo unfair! :dizzy:
Losing one pound is a must compensation for this kind of thing! Hope you feel better! :) |
Congrats to Eydie on dropping those 3 pounds! Have a :carrot: :cp: ! Frogger...how disappointing! Motor on...see where it got Eydie?
Empress A...are thee sure that thoust should delete said thread? Mayhaps it is a sign from the goddess? My 1 week challenge until Hallowe'en is to walk 5 times the road, drink at least a litre of water/day and to eat in moderation. I'll weigh on the scale Hallowe'en morn. I still haven't braved that demon. Not ready yet. Thus far, Day 1 is good. :) :lol: Walk :) Water :lol: Food Day 1 -- * Day 2 -- Day 3 -- Day 4 -- Day 5 -- Day 6 -- Day 7 -- I'd post this in the challenge section but I'm not sure of its status. Anyway....Arabella, news on the sudden increase? Is it as sudden a decrease? Anagram, glad to hear the good news on DH...recovery takes a long time....as you know. The rest of the Royal Court...You're all doing so well....Wildfire! You go girl! :wave: Ceara |
Urg -- still feeling a little bloated and cold-ridden, still behaving well, so waiting until I feel "normal" to WI. Must admit, that surely freaked me out!
|
Huzzah, Ceara, that's a great challenge! You've set out some great goals!!! Re the challenge section, I just didn't feel enthusiastic about it, I'm weird and moody ... today someone said to me, "You take things so personally!" Yep, how could she tell? :)
I couldn't delete the thread, so if anyone wants ta take it over and make it their challenge home, so be it ... or vice versa! :lol: I don't know where I am with challenges ... started a new journal in the land far far with my plateau bustin' initiative ... I need to bust that s*cker! Is s*cker a swear word? Dunno. NOT having a good workin' experience right now but must go finish! Hi, Wood Nymph!!! |
Good Morning! What a crappy weather day. Pouring rain, chilly and windy. BOOOOO!!! When's it going to stop so that I can decorate for Halloween? :)
Forgot my lunch today...Hopefully there's some good soup across the way. I feel totally drained! I guess it's from being sick. I am in no mood to do anything. I guess it's a good thing that I don't have anything to do here at work. :lol: Still have not heard on the position I interviewed for. I'm so sick of not having work to do. Spending $ on a train ticket (almost $300 a month) to come and sit and pretend to be busy). There's A LOT of things I can do with that $300 a month instead of sitting here letting my but spread from lack of moving. Anway....What a gloomy guss I am today. Maybe I need some coffee. Back later |
hello to all dwellers of the royal palace! i have missed you one and all. i had pneumonia and so have been down for the count for a while, but i'm starting to feel better now. this past year has not been a banner year for me with any weight loss, but even though there is less than a week left in this challenge, i am in! i'm climbing back on the healthier, smaller portions wagon, plus daily exercise, and listening to meditation tapes several times/week minimum. will brave the scale tomorrow to see what damage has been done while i've been sick. well, so good to be back in the palace once again. take care, everyone.
|
So nice to "see" you back, wsw! Hoping you'll be able to stay on the health wagon as well as you do with the diet wagon. Maybe a nice loss will compensate?
|
Good to see Ceara and wsw again! Frogger, 300$ a month just to get there! Ooooh, that would haunt me!

Got in a 25 minute walk while therapist was here. Felt good. She won't be here again until Monday but I hope to get a walk in then too and that will fulfill the only real goal I stated for the challenge. Not that i'm not working on other stuff too but that was my starting point.
tomorrow night is trick or treat nite here but I'm passing this year. Will just leave the lights out. Those who know us will know why, those who don't - well, what can I say? |
Hello all.....
Ever feel really low and miserable and then find out that you've been coming down w/ something ..... what a relief to know I've either got an awful head cold or just a bad fall allergy thingie..... Monday I called out sick feeling draggy and low and by Tuesday, just sitting upright makes my nose run.... I'll spare the details.... And I have dark circles under my eyes that look like I've been in fight.... well, I'm being dramatic, but you get the picture.... Monday night, both DH and I went to bed at about 7 pm and this was after I had taken a nap earlier in the day..... And I slept nearly straight thru.... So why am I suprised today that I am still miserable... My guess is I thought I was a slacker.... Today was a scheduled day off and a day to give a speech which I was not well prepared and it showed..... Also am feeling this cold snap .... have put a 2nd quilt on the bed and have been wearing sweats and sox to bed and to hang out .... there is a frost warning near by but supposed to warm up this weekend.... so.... Guess its time to share how I sat Monday afternoon and emptied a Peanut Butter jar ( about 1/4 full) by dipping slices of apple into it.... took two apples... and by the way... scale says I'm up 2.-3 lbs.... hmmmm so.... I am now officially not feeling guilty that I'm not keeping up w/ everything.... After all... I don't feel so hot.... sorry I've been away so long but I havent been very cheerful.... And now I know why.... ************** Thought of the day: "Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win." --Jonathon Kozol, Author Question of the day : "Can you play your favorite musical instrument? Do you wish you could?" *************** Hope all are well.... WSW, glad to see you're feeling better... I've been worried about you. Anagram... our door too will be dark... Let me go back and see what else has been going on.... |
Sorry thou art under the weather, K!!! Glad you're gettin' a day off ... and there's nothin' wrong with a 1/4 jar o' pb and apple slices (IMO) ... a very healthy low glycemic snack.
Hi, Wsw!!! Sorry thou wast ill also ... glad you are better. :wave: E, you're lookin' good as usual ... I'm journalin' more or less in the land far far and on Fitday PC ... it does help ... I'm gonna do calorie cycling this week and today is the "high" day, though I haven't posted about that yet. Anagramatic: :wave: ditto on the dark door ... I work that night and can't be bothered and I don't approve of kids wanderin' around and gettin' candy from strangers anyhow, even if the parents are with them. Gotta go cover the meeting from h*ck! |
Good Morning Ladies!
It's SO HOT in here (office). They must have the heat cranked up to 90! Weighed in yesterday. Nothing. Not up or down. I again am in a foul mood. :( Heared about the job I interviewed for. The govt. person I would be working under is leaving so the company scratched that position. I am eternally damned to sit here doing nothing forever it seems. :mad: We really need the raise too. I forcasted out to christmas and we WILL NOT have any money for gifts let alone any emergency situation. We *May* just get by with normal expenses. Notice *MAY*. I took this job because of the *advancement* opportunities after just one year (or so they said). As you know, nothing... I'm sorry about the me me me post. I just haven't felt this stuck since the end of that job I had been with for 5 years. |
Log so far....a rough start, but yesterday was a three star day! :lol: - - - - Walk - - - Water - - - Food Day 1 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - -X Day 2 - - - - - X - - - :) - - - - - X Day 3 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - :) Day 4 - - - - :) Day 5 - - - Day 6 - - - Day 7 - - - The job sounds quite frustrating Frogger! There is nothing like feeling underappreciated. I think we have to be responsible for our own self worth...and recognize it. The things that I have been doing for myself over the last while....keeping a positive outlook...this is harder than it sounds. I am consciously banishing negative thoughts all the time...not necessarily about me, but about anything....just call me PollyAnna :lol: Also, taking more time to coddle...having a bath with a book....reading if I feel like it and reading what I want besides the WORK reading. Cleaning a small area a day in this house...I should try that 15 minute rule thing you guys do...Kaylets? Educate me on the method? I've got the eiderdowns on the bed too Kaylets...find myself kicking them off mid-night though. Good job on the walk Anagram...every little bit helps the mental outlook! It is good walking weather here...not too breezy and the sun is shining...beautiful colour on the trees...lots of spiritual food. Gotta go and clean a small area or maybe vacuum...I need to bathe a dog too...hmmmm. Tomorrow is :lol: :) Day...where thee'd be O Punkin O' Friday? Brekkie day too.... Avanti! Hang onto the wagon straps! Pick your colour of seatbelt....mine is purple for the day! Ceara |
I'm in an orange mood today! Soooo pedestrian.
|
Me, too, Anagram! :) Not pedestrian at all! :)
Ceara, that's a great idea about banishing all negative thoughts ... man, that is HARD work. I'm on a secret mission, details in my journal in the land far far. :) Can I mention a product? Probably not, but anyhow I found these whole grain (brown rice), gluten free crackers that are to die for. Their website says they are developing brownies ... dare I hope these will be sugar free? Probably not. Later ... |
Hello all,
Well, its always so much fun be working when you're head is pounding and nose running.... and the antihistamine you're taking is just barely cutting it...... YIKES... I went to the cafeteria promsing myself icecream..... and guess what.... universe took action again and they arent selling it anymoer.... the big open freezer, ...gone.... so I wound up w/ lofat choc milk.... only a pint but it helped... Frogger... try and not let the frustration drag you down... keep looking around... now that you've made a contact w/ HR maybe you can ask them for other openings that may not be on the website yet.....Keep smiling, keep asking around.....especially if you are looking for more to do... what a great interview "I'm looking for more challenges, more growth" As for the holidays, I am going very much w/ things I can put together from things I already have w/ some creativity.... I may spend some $ on postage but will still be way ahead on not spending for the gift too... also am trying to think of thoughtful things to do with the computer... perhaps a favorite song printed out in nice font in a frame so he can enjoy the lyrics w/o the music..... perhaps cute bookmarks w/goofy photos-- quotes.... I would love to make a flag to outside of a bowling ball for dh but not sure if I can do it by hand so that it could resist the weather.... my machine needs work and for sure DH would wonder why suddenly I wanted the machine fixed...... But for sure, I can put together some foot soak salts and whathaveyou that he will use. He has to soak his feet sometimes 2-3 times a week and pretends he doesnt "need" the herbal salts but he didnt argue every time I put them in the water. We found a jar cheap at a yard sale that was scented w/ peppermint and the whole jar is gone now.... and I will try to think of some other ideas for DH too...... still only want to eat, eat, eat... but am trying to remember what the author of " A Million Pieces" ... somebody Frey... (sorry, I just can't remember)... "Hold on"... sooner or later, the feeling will pass... "hold on".... |
Mornin' all! It's F R I D A Y !
Gotta get the guys out and go do my walk...brekkie with the parentals this am. Yesterday was good.... :lol: - - - - Walk - - - Water - - - Food Day 1 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - -X Day 2 - - - - - X - - - :) - - - - - X Day 3 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - :) Day 4 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - :) Day 5 - - - Day 6 - - - Day 7 - - - Kaylets...glad you are starting to feel better....one day at a time. I think our bodies wanna store fat for the winter at this time of the year...hard to fight unconscious impulses. Wsw good to see you on the road to health again. Well this is the color of my seatbelt for the day! Ta! Carpe Diem! Ceara |
Good Morning lasses!
Just wanted to say GOOD JOB :carrot: to ceara on your commitment. You're really sticking to it! Kaylets-I'm not sure if this would work but it's worth a *try* for your DH flag. How about iron on backing? I think it may be called heat transfer or something like that. (I obviously do not know much about sewing!!) It's used on clothing (which would go in the wash and dryer, so I'm sure it would be weather resistant). Couldn't you bond your designs to a base fabric *flag* and go from there? Maybe just a few tacks here and there after that. Or maybe fabric glue or hot glue? (Are these weather resistant?) I hand sew rips and hems, I don't really make anything though so I'm probebly way off on this one! |
Kaylets, I'm having trouble picturing the flag on the outside of a bowling ball, but agree with Frogger that bonding fabric or bonding glue might work.
|
Mornin' all.....brevity mode...I have to work today and the baby needs to go out and play. So...yesterday was good...thanks Frogger for the kind words. I have already marked today's walk even though I've not yet done it...it will happen very soon. :lol: - - - - Walk - - - Water - - - Food Day 1 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - -X Day 2 - - - - - X - - - :) - - - - - X Day 3 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - :) Day 4 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - :) Day 5 - - - - :) - - - :) - - - - :) Day 6 - - - - :) Day 7 - - - We had a frost last night...the grass is crunchy. Going to a fish fry tonight...perch. I hear it is good. I have been going to bed early these past days...am tired and my stomach pooch seems to be swollen...it goes down overnight, but still. I see the Dr. on the 7th. Gotta run....:wave: or walk........ This is my SEATBELT today. Ceara |
THIS IS MY SEAT BELT FOR TODAY - MATCHES MY OUTFIT!
:) :) :) :) Been a tad rough the last day or so so I'm hanging on and double belted. Having a caregiver come in today so I can have an hour or so at the grocery store (& other). Sometimes seems more trouble than it's worth - at least the last time was. But I need the break. A few minutes stopped at a park en route or just a couple of deep breaths between stores should go a long way. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |
