Hey Gals! Can I just say....TGIF!!!!
I just finished eating a big salad for lunch, I have a few more hours of work to do and then there is lots to do to get ready to leave tomorrow. Jeff still has not gotten home from NY --- He promised to be home by 4 to help me get the dogs to the kennel. Tonight will be filled with packing and last minute stuff and then we'll be headed for the airport about 5pm to begin a fun-filled getaway...
Tracy, we are going to Florida for the week. Well, we are starting in Biloxi for a couple days to meet up with my family and gamble, then we are going to Ft. Walton Beach which is where my family lives - we'll be there for a week staying on the beach. My nephew is graduating from HS so we have some things planned with him --we have no major plans, just taking it easy - some boating, mini-golf, maybe waverunners, etc. I am really looking forward to it. No to mention I've barely seen my hubby lately because of his work.
The one thing I am not looking forward to is the flight --- I fly quite a bit but am always uncomfortable (obviously due to my size). Although this time I have 32 pounds less of me and a couple inches off my hips so maybe it won't be as bad. Although when hubby and I sit together we are wedged like sardines. As much as I don't like the anticipation of wondering "will the seatbelt fit", I am not going to let it keep me from traveling!!!
Sara --- You are going to love having eye surgery!!! Don't worry about a thing --- it's over before you know it. I was honestly scared to death going in there, but the Dr. was so nice and walked me through everything and within an hour I was back home in bed... Then the next morning I woke up and could SEE! It was great!! Let us know how it goes next week!!
Amanda - Thank you for the wise words on getting pregnant. We are not obsessing over it right now, but it's been such a long time that we know we have to bite the bullet and talk to our doctors. I know that by getting healthy and losing some of this weight I am helping myself and my chances. Thanks again. Loved your "Hands" poem!
Michelle --- sending hugs your way! I hope you get to feeling better soon!!! Once you start the Zyrtec in the evening you won't even notice the drowsy feeling.
Kat --- Thank you for sharing the words of inspiration. I read them last night and was nearly in tears. They really made me think outside of the "box" of my little world.
Lori --- Rain, Rain, Go Away!!! We are getting soaked here too. Sorry you have to put off your photos again.
Thin --- The recipes sound yummy. I need to print them out.
Another yummy Angel Food cake is to take a box of Angel Food cake and a can of Lite Cherry Filling. Mix them both (don't use any other ingredients that the box may call for) Bake as normal. You get a fluffy Cherry Angel Food Cake. Serves about 12 -- 3 points per slice.
Tina --- The drive in sounds like so much fun. We don't have one anywhere around us.
Deon --- Don't beat yourself up. Just think about what you did and don't do it again!!! I am so happy to hear that I've inspired you in some little way. I never knew I could be inspirational --- I've gotten so much from all of you I am glad to be able to give back! Determination is the key!! You can do this!!!! I am also and ER fan. My hubby is going to kill me though --- I thought I recorded it for him last night only to walk in the room and realize the VCR was not on. Darn!!! Since he's been so busy this week I am hoping he'll forget about it. Opps!!! I didn't watch it closely last night because I was running around the house doing stuff. (and I thought I'd be able to watch the tape.)
2Cute --- Way to go!!! I am definately a beliver in Exercise --- without it nothing is going to happen --- get that body moving. Any type of exercise is better than none!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Mary --- Good job on the work review!!
Lynne --- Hope you are having good weather today so that you can get your gardening done... be careful with those newly done nails!
Alrighty --- Better get back to my work for the day...I'll stop by later tonight!
Love,
Barb
