Noelle I used to have my hair red all of hte time. In fact when Joe and I met it was red. I still had it when we got married. I would post some pics but we don't ahve the digital camera anymore. Plus, I am not feeling very into photos right now.
Cherie my brother and sis have natural red hair and I only have hi-lites of it naturally. So, I think when I go a darker red it kicks out those hi-lite and it looks really good. I still freak myself out when I walk past a mirror. I am still not usde to it.
I hope all of you guys have a great night and if I don't catch you over the weekend a good one of those too.
Hey ladies, I am getting ready to out with my high school girlfriends, we're celebrating my best friends b-day tonight. Just dinner and talking story, should be fun. Rick and the guys are upstairs watching a pay-per-view fight: Manny Pacquiao vs. Erik Morales in Las Vegas. This is the 3rd match up these guys have had. Pacquiao is from the same boxing stable as my former neighbor Brian Viloria. I can hear them screaming upstairs, it's crazy loud... i wonder what that means. Anyway, had a fun morning driving around the island just playing tourist. It's been a while since we've done that. I wish I'd brought my camera. We even watched a little bit of a surf meet going on, the Vans triple crown of surfing. The waves were soooooo small I'm surprised they even had the meet.
Well, don't know what's on the agenda tomorrow but just wanted to wish you guys a great weekend.
Hello Everyone,
This past week has been very challenging to say the least. Yesterday, I got a walker and then went down to DMV to get a disability placard. By the end of the day I was exhausted and hurting. Tomorrow, I go back to the foot doctor. I'm going to try to get in to see my regular doctor as well because I'm having a lot of pain on the right side of my back. Sometimes it hurts so bad that I can't hardly move. All in all, I'm doing well and I really can't wait to get back to school. I'm still surprised that I haven't had much pain in my foot; although I am very grateful that I don't.
Have a great week everyone and a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Cal I am sorry to hear that you are still not feeling better. I wonder if you back is hurting b/c you are carrying yourself diffrently now. Since you are not able to put weight on your foot like you usually do you might be pulling muscles you are not used to using.
Not much going on today. Joe took that car to work today so I am stuck here. I really did not have anything planned so I guess it will be a day of reading magazines. It might sound fun but I am actually pretty bored.
Hello ladies. I am having a hectic day but I'm halfway through it so I shouldn't complain.
Cal, I agree w/Kempy about the distribution of weight while walking, it may be causing the back pain. I know when my knee really acts up, if I don't watch what I'm doing I end up w/pain on the other side (knee, ankle, back etc) as well. I really hope you get some relief when you go to the doctor. Maybe he'll write you up for staying out a few more days? I think the best medicine would be just to stay off your feet.
Kempy, I would come over to your place and chat if we lived closer My computer hard drive got sent for repair so right now I don't even have my work files available... I come in to work and just twiddle my thumbs or surf the net.
The weekend was fun catching up w/my girlfriends. Then yesterday we just had more family time. I am counting down the days till my next vacation....
I went back to work on Tuesday and it wasn't too bad. I was able to put my foot up, but it was still swollen when I got home, and it hurt. Yesterday was better because it was a 1/2 day even though the teachers had to stay for some meetings. My principal said I didn't have to stay, but I did for about an hour. It was nice to get home to relax. My kids really missed me and I got flowers, cookies, and a gift bag of popcorn, Propel water, chocolates, and a bunch of fruit; they even made cards for me.
I have to use a walker when I'm up and around, but it really helps the back pain. I also have a handicapped placard, so my sister said she wants to go shopping with me tomorrow.
Today I'm going to my sister's house; everyone will be there. Missy (my sister) said she figured about 23 would be there from last count. I love these get-togethers.
I hope everyone has a great and safe Thanksgiving.
Cal, awwww, how sweet your students missed you. Glad you're feeling better. For sure your thanksgiving sounds like a full house. I don't think we'll have that many over, but we'll be close--18 I think. Your sister is funny--I like to take my mom or dad shopping for the same reason
I wanted to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable day and let you know how I appreciate getting to know you all over the years. Thank you for being great friends
Sorry I been absent but school is truely kicking my ***. Then I have all new man problems (which should amuse some of yo but we'll discuss that later)
Mainly I had a chance to regroup and try to keep from going insane before the end of the semester. It's going to be hard. I have two term papers and a film project to complete before the first week in December so I don't know how available I'll be between now and then.
Anyway I hope everyone had a smashing turkey day. I sure did !!!
Love you Guys!
Angie- I promise to fill you in on the man problems next week
Wow did I eat too much. we got home last night from our camp and all I did was eat. So, today Joe and I am eating better again. I ran to the store and bought veggies and fruit and I think we might try to check out the gym down the street when he gets home. I have to get back to my 20lbs loss for when we got to CA. My MIL thinks that is what I lost so I have to drop 10lbs by the 21st. I figures that I didn't have anything better to do around here so I can hang out at the gym. I did it once I can do it again.
Cal that is so sweet about your students. I am sure that made you feel good.
I hate to say this but I don't remember if I sent you my address.
Dips it sure is good to see you again. You will have to spill it on the new BF.
I have a repair guy here so I better go check on him. I'll check in later.
Hi ladies, how was your long Thanksgiving weekend? We had lots of family over and tons of food.... my weekend was pretty much eat, shop, sleep, shop, sleep, eat.... repeat over again I got some great deals on Christmas gifts at a nearby outlet mall, even stuff from Barney's New York and the Neiman Marcus outlet. I would never normally shop there, but there were huge discounts. I even caught a cold!--something the flu shot can't prevent . So I am dealing with it. Hope everyone had a good time.
Kempy, you can drop 10 by the 21st! you know how the weight just falls off the first week? Good luck girl, your MIL will be impressed.
Dips, thanks for checking in, we missed ya. So you have a "new" man? or just "new" problems? We're a nosy bunch, we always like to hear what's going on w/you . Did I tell you my niece got sprung from Ft. Jackson this past week and is now in Ft. Sam Houston for AIT? She was on an accelerated course for basic training (or so I understand but have never heard of before) and she does not graduate w/her platoon in SC, but is starting her AIT stuff. She should be getting a break for Xmas so we may see her in a couple of weeks.
Noelle that is the bad thing about being at the camp. We can not shop and get those great deals. We are too far out in the country.
We didn't make it to the gym last night. I did eat good though so I guess that is a step in the right direction. I am going to try ot do some TeaBo today. I am sure it will kill me since it has been so long since I have done it. I guess all I can do is try, right?
Not too much going on over here. I guess the same is true for every one else. I hope to see some posts today.
Noelle my sis sent out that card one year. (your avatar) I loved it.
Well, it is getting kind of boring talking to myself here. I hope some of you guys come out and chat. I know this is a busy time of year though so I will let you guys off of the hook.
I am getting dressed to run errands and one of those places is the gym. I am tired of waiting for Joe to want to go when he gets home b/c that will never happen. I know he is tired when he gets home so I don't blame him. he is wanting to work out b4 he goes to work in the AM. What a crazy man! I am hoping that they will give me a free pass to try it out. I want to be sure I feel comfortable there. i am sure it will be lots of stay at home moms so I should not have a problem. Not that I would if there were guys there. I have been in a gym long enough to know how to handle myself. Plus, the men are usually there to impress ech other. It is funny watching them look at themselves and each other in the mirrors. I am sure the women do too but we know how to do things without people knowing.
Ok, I am going to head out the door and get this stuff done. I hope to see someone when I get back.
Hi Kempy, I am sick at home...stuffy head, sore throat and a mean cough. It's been hard going to sleep since I can't breathe when I lay down so i have to prop myself up a little. Oh well, could be worse I guess. At least we are finally getting some cooler weather today (mid 60's in the morning), but we still have a high of 80. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......
Have fun doing your errands, at least it gets you out of the house right? And you are right about men being obvious about what they are doing we women are a lot stealthier!
Well, I hope everyone else didn't fall off the face of the planet. Come out and post!
Well, I guess the gym has gone up in price since the last time I had to actually pay for it. I guess I got really spoiled working at one and not having to pay.
Getting out was good even though I didn't talk to many people. The guy who gave me the tour was a cutie patuti though. That made the trip good. He said I was full of energy and that most poeple couldn't keep up with him. HA! What a sales man. I got to the car and I was breathing hard b/c I was trying to show that I am still in good shape and that I could keep up with him. hehe He never saw that though.
Noelle I hope you feel better soon. We actually have a freeze coming our way in the next 2 nights. Maybe it will stay that way. Doubt it!
My computer hard drive got sent for repair so right now I don't even have my work files available... I come in to work and just twiddle my thumbs or surf the net.

. So I am dealing with it. Hope everyone had a good time.
