Hi girls!
It was such a beautiful day today.
Temps in the early 80's, nice breeze, sun shiny. A glorious day! Of course, I was up before the sunrise! Argh!
I'm having a hard time this month with mother nature. She's a week late and I'm not just bi^cHy, I'm tired as all get out. I got home today from the hospital about 11, and laid down on the bed for a SHORT nap and just got up. It's 5:00!!!
I wish she'd just come and be done with it!
Melissa: Hey, girlfriend, nice to see you!
Hey, I was thinking about you. Did you graduate from college this Spring, or do you have another year to go??? Hope the WW works well for you. I love it, when I follow it. "When I follow it" being the operative words!
2cute: Yeah, ME remember??? I'll try to remember to remind you about the plants. I wonder if they'll let me bring you one in the plane?????
Kat: My take on it is: Mom is having the colonoscopy because all of her friends have had one and she feels left out!
She's 82 and has swore she doesn't have any problems 'down there' and that she is NOT going to have one unless it's necessary. Now, all of a sudden, she's gung ho to have one. All I can figure is that she's run out of things to talk about with all her friends. I'm lead to this conclusion because she says things to me like "when Dorothy had hers........." and "when Mary had hers.......". Argh! Just shoot me when I get that old that I need to have proceedures in order to have something to talk about!!!
Sandy: Yes, this Blackout has been a little intrusive. The county I live in ordered all restaurants and fast food places CLOSED until they are able to get out and do inspections. They said today that the Health Department was in meetings all day trying to figure out what to do. The restaurants are really pi$$ed because some have chosen to follow the ruling and others have stayed open. The ones that did what they were asked to do want fines given to the ones that didn't.
Pam: Oh, I love this new theatre they opened here. It's stadium seating, but more than that, the seats are built so the armrests go up so ample-bodied women like me can fit in them comfortably. Before that, this girl didn't get to the theatre much!
Of course, working there most weekends helps too. But this weekend, we actually had to PAY for tickets.
Natalie: Isn't it amazing how after we've eaten well for awhile that all that junk really messes up our bodies?? I know if I splurge and have a steak at one of my steakhouse jobs, I really pay for it when I get home. Sometimes I pay for it
before I even get home with the stomach cramping. Most of the time I stick to fish or chicken when I go out.
Steph: Welcome back! Good to see you.
Glad you're getting back with it. We're all struggling along here. I guess we just have to get it through our heads that this is NOT easy. It is a CONSTANT struggle. At least we're all in this together. [[[hugs]]]
Barb: Glad you're back! I'm so happy that you had such a wonderful time with your family. How did your little pre-discussion go with them about how this fall's vacation was going to be??? Can't wait to hear.
Jen: Gosh, that heat wave you've been having overseas is just incredible. They said that France has had the most deaths, mostly elderly. * Glad you're doing well, other than the heat. Let us know how you're doing. Are the pounds just melting off?
Connie: Stop in and just tell us what's going on in your life if your weighloss efforts aren't going so well. By coming in and reading, somewhere along the line you may get inspired. At least you've got friends here to talk to.
Lori: A ‘wrestling chat room’? This is a side of you I didn’t know existed!
Michelle: I have no clue about fried green tomatoes. Do share how you make them.
Tina: I think your ‘friend’ was just being a bi^cH! She’s not telling you the WHOLE story on the WLS. Even our friend Jen has said how when she eats what she shouldn’t she gets sick. That’s the ‘other side of the story’. Keep plugging along. We’ll get it right one day!
Mary: Are you feeling better today? I sure hope so! [[[hugs]]] Well, you posted and I guess you're not feeling any better. I'm sooooo sorry. Sounds like the doctor is making it worse instead of better! I hope you get some relief soon.
I was just listening to the news in the background as I type
and I can't believe it. Makes me sooooo mad!
So for all of you that want the REAL scoop, here it is. The news is saying that through the Blackout, in cities around the country, the news people were reporting that there was looting in Detroiit. That they were worried about how Detroit was going to survive a night with no power. Even the ABC main news called our local news people. Our local news people reported that all was calm, there was a curfew installed, and all was well in Detroit and STILL they "reported" that there was trouble and looting in Detroit. Gotta love the news people. They never let the truth get in the way of a good story!!! ARGH!!!!
Well, I think that's everyone that's been on this thread. I'm trying to get back caught up. If you weren't here in awhile, you better post so I can say hello.
I didn’t get a chance to tell about my literary pursuits, I don’t believe. If you want fun, witty, and a quick read, you don’t want to miss the series by Janet Evanovich: One for the Money, Two for the Dough, etc. The main character is a female bounty hunter. They are hilarious, laugh out loud mysteries. I’ve also gone through a good many of Mary Daheim’s Bed and Breakfast Mysteries. The main character runs a bed and breakfast. Not as witty, but still pretty good. There are a couple of others, but they’re upstairs so I will report on them later. I gave up juicy romance novels long ago (Rosemary Rogers being my favorite author there) since MY life was so NOT what was in the books it depressed me!
Anyway, time to get out into the family room with the family. We finally found something that will get ‘the baby’ off the computer to watch. It’s an HBO series called
Six Feet Under. It is not for the faint of heart or little kids.
See you all later.

I would recommend Marian Keyes thought...she's a funny, witty Irish writer. My favorite is Rachel's Holiday, it's a great character to relate to...especially if you have issues with your appearance (not you....but you know...in general....)
one piece at a time...
