The "Getting Started with Mac" class tonight was rather interesting. I learned many things. Still have a LOT to learn though.

At the Apple Store again in Kenwood Towne Center. Tonight a class on the MacBook Air. Maybe I can finally figure out how to do some things with this toy.

Just finished The Law of Nines by Terry Goodkind. It was better than I thought it would be.if you have read the Sword of Truth series but not this book, I encourage you to read it. It parrallels Richard and Kahlan, but is it's own story.

I closed the Apple Store - well not quite, but almost. The one hour class turned into a 2 hour class and it wasn't the advanced class but it was the basic class. I did pick up another tip or two though.

I did something this morning that I have not been able to do in about 2 years. I actually stood up while teaching my class this morning! I had been sitting because I just could not stand for long periods of time. This morning though, I stood for my 1 hour lecture! Woo Hoo I love having lost this weight!

IN MEMORY OF ALL THEY LOST, THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11- STATISTICS: Times of impact: 8:46 a.m. and 9:02 a.m. Time the burning towers stood: 56 minutes and 102 minutes. Time they took to fall: 12 seconds. 2819 dead from 115 different nations. 343 Fireman/paramedics, 23 NYPD, 37 Port Authority officers. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ REPOST IF YOU WILL NEVER FORGET¤*¨¨*¤.¸¸ ...¸.¤\\ 9/11 AMERICA \.\¸.¤*¨¨*¤ .¸¸.¸.¤*..\☻/

Just discovered the Revolutionary War pension file for a Josiah Wellington that totally destroys my theory of who my ancestor's parents might have been. So, I'm back to the drawing board as far as trying to figure out where my 5th great-grandfather Josiah Wellington came from. It also proves that any family tree on the Internet that claims to know his parents were Josiah and Susannah is WRONG.

Next week, I will start working out at Mercy Healthplex Fairfield. I toured the facility today and it's a nice one. Looking forward to this.

Started the withdrawal process for Western Governors. The term passed by and I couldn't get things done for the 2nd time - so that's a sign that I need to withdraw and try again in the future when I can get time.

Support group was great tonight. I met someone who I originally met on verticalsleevetalk.com - Jennifer. It was nice to put a face with the online friend.

Cooking class tonight was great! We had Grilled Chicken with Tomato, Lime & Cilantro Salsa (this was AWESOME!!!), Mexican Tomato Beans (it was ok), Shaved Summer Squash Salad with Prosciutto Crisps (Really Really good!), and Perfect Lemon Bites (a slice of heaven!). All recipies are bariatric surgery patient appropriate. I am stuffed and have some leftovers for tomorrows meals.

Lee, you have overstayed your welcome. Please leave. (No offense meant to my friends Lee R. Yancer or Lee Hillier - I'm referring to the tropical storm.)

Here's hoping that I get many more registrations today for my classes that start next week in Cincinnati. Last chance to register!

Attention GE Cincinnati friends - I need more people to sign up for the classes that start next week. Please let your friends know.

Letting the cool air into the apartment. Feels good.

Well, I have a long way to go if I'm going to walk 3 miles for my upcoming walks. Today, I walked around the pond/lake at Coney Island when I wanted to leave. It took me 20 minutes and boy am I pooped. I wish I would have had my pedometer with me, but I forgot it. I wasn't walking super fast, but faster than I have been, so I'm sure that's why I'm pooped. It was also longer than I normally walk.

There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year. ~Author Unknown

Well, after convincing the tech that yes, the router really did go bad, he got another one - just to discover the security couldn't be setup on it because it was a recycled one and it would not reset back to factory specs. So, he brought in another one - a g instead of an n router and was able to get that one setup. Good thing I don't need to have the signal go really far.

Thanks to WikiTree, I have found yet another long lost cousin from the Hickmott side. I'm hoping she will be willing to share information.

I have been to a lot of places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently you can't go alone...you have to be in Cahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips over the years thanks to my friends and family. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump and I'm not much for physical activity.

Ughh... my internet from Cincinnati Bell has gone out - it appears to be a bad modem. First appointment wasn't until Wednesday. I called back and talked to someone else who connected me with the escalation desk and now someone is coming out in the morning. Good thing I have internet on my cell phone.

I just love some of the ideas my boss comes up with for work. He's not real computer savvy and has no clue what's involved in developing new classes. He has good ideas, but it's me who gets to develop them and while I have some knowledge, there are things that I have no clue about but still need to develop. sigh...

Busy weekend starts today with a class and doctor. Tomorrow 2 more classes. Monday working at a picnic. In between times - more work. Yup, it's Labor day weekend alright - I'll be laboring hard... LOL

I am 4 weeks out and craving fudge.
