Suziecat

Up a little early today. I need to get to the store. There is a huge funeral tonight at church and the call went out for food. So I'm gonna go see about getting stuff to make sandwiches with to take. I also need to pick up a few things to make the soups with for the pouch test. Jenn, I hate that you lost your job and know that something better will come along soon. It's just going to be nice to have you around here for awhile. Jane, I'm keeping my car also. With hubby retired we just don't want that payment again. I'm taking better care of this one so it will last longer. KC is 21st and St. Louis is 33rd on the list as the healthiest. No wonder I am the way I am. Low on the totem pole. Everyone have a great day. It's CTCD also.

Off to bed. Tomorrow it's back on the 5 day pouch diet for me. I ate like a fool today and need to get back to basics. Hope everyone got home safe and that everyone had a great weekend.

:patriot:Happy Memorial Day. Rainy here today and we have company coming over. Oh well. It will be all right. Hubby and I will be leaving here soon to go to the gym. He said just because it's a holiday, doesn't mean that we have to slack off. He's right. Ugh. Everyone have a great day.

Pam, I loved the pictures. How incredible. And your brother is a little cutie. Looks like all of you had a great time. We got up and went to Wal-Mart to get chlorine for the pool and a few other things. Came home and mowed the yard. I went ina nd put my swim suit on and did my exercises. I than swam 20 laps and ran 5 laps. Than I laid on the air mattress and floated for a half hour. It felt great. Went over to a birthday party for a 4 year old that we know. I walked out of there not eating any cake. I didn't even bring a piece home. I did have a hot dog in a bun and was only able to eat half of it and gave hubby the rest. I was afaid I was going to end up in the bathroom. It's off and on raining right now. Looks like it will be this way for a little bit. It will give me some time to get some things done around the house here. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic.. you're just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

Michelle, it was a great day and I enjoyed it. I hope everyone had as nice a day as I have had. I now must confess, I did NOT respect the pouch. Oh Well. :wink2:

I'm out of the pool, for a little while. We went to a graduation party for our old next door neighbor. They moved away about 10 years ago but we have kept in touch with them. Had a great time. I did real good on my eating. I brought a piece of grad cake home and pretended it was birthday cake for Janie. Jane, Hope you had a wonderful day. Back to the pool now.

:party: :thumbup: Happy Birthday to My JanieGirl. :mad:

Well, it's just hubby and me. Abby's daddy came by to drop off some clothes and she decided that she never gets to see her dad and wanted to go home with him tonight. Now....what to do......Hmmmmmmm. Got any ideas????

Hey girls. I was up early and out the door. I had to work a shift for a girl. I got home and went in and put my swimming suit on. My sister pointed out how much looser(sp?) it is from last year. Anyway. I've been in the pool ever since. The heater has the temp up to 90 degrees and it's only 80 degrees outside. It felt so good. My nephew dropped Abagail off and she has been in the pool for about an hour. I got her out and in the bathtub. She's all washed up and in her PJ's and will be spending the night. She said she wants to sleep on the couch with Uncle D. LOL. Terry, I feel so sorry for you, just know that you are in my prayers. I hope you have fun on your trip. Safe travels to everyone that is on the road. I'm staying home and most likely in the pool. I'll check in when I can. Off to go color in the colorbook. TTFN.

I was so prepared for Adam to win but am glad that Kris did. Adam is such a good entertainer and will be big someday. He just wasn't what I would listen too. A little too screechy for me. Everyone that is traveling this week, be safe. Enjoy your journey's and as Tracy says, "Respect the Pouch". Hubby and I are staying home. Heck, we don't need to go anywhere. We have all we need right here. And somewhat good weather to boot. Pool is up and running, heater is one. Potato Salad will be made and the watermelon cut up. The grill will get a workout this weekend. Off to the grocery store.

Tracy, When I was going thru my weight loss in my first year I joined Curves. I worked out like a dog. 3 sometimes 4 times a week. I was also walking. I was doing everything but losing weight. I had a Lady who was special to me and she told me that I needed to hang in there. That my body needed time to accept the changes that were going on. It took 5 weeks when all of a sudden I was dropping inches like crazy and the weight started coming off also. My advice to you is to give it time also. You need to let your body figure out what is going on, when it does it will do what it needs too. Just hang in there, you'll see.

I'm in total agreement with that. I hope that this new day brings some relief to you and your son and family. Jane, I hope you have a lot of luck with your fill. Laura, How is your fill going?

Hey, watching DWTS. Not sure who I want to win. Did really good on my eating till I got home from work. I popped up some popcorn. It was Lite popcorn but I added some melted butter to it. Oh my. Busy day ahead of me tomorrow. I work in the morning than have to go drop payroll off at the south store. I have a Doc appointment with the Kidney Doc and than I have to go get graduation cards. I'm hoping to get some plants still. than our shift at the hospital. Pammie, incase I haven't said it before. I am so proud of you. I am in awe of you also. Congratulations

The pool is vaccumed, we will turn the heater on tomorrow. Should be ready by the weekend. Off to work I go. Check in later. And I am doing most excellent on my eating today. Hurray for me.

Yup, I've been to a Rodeo also. I like them alot. I think I'm gonna head to the nursery and pick out flowers. I need to get my planters ready for the weekend. I can't believe Memorial Day is this weekend. yikes, it came up fast. We should finish up on the pool today. Need to get the heater going on it. Sorry for all the headaches today, hope you get to feeling better. It's CTCD so make good choices. Besides Laura, who doesn't have a T-Shirt yet?

OK, Now that was funny. Love it. Judy, we are almost ready getting the pool ready. We need to back flush, put chemicals in and put the stairs in. Oh, and start heating the water. Should deffinately be ready by Friday. Michelle, I remember going to PTA meetings and sitting in the back waiting. There was some real drama back then. I guess something never change. Laura, How did your fill go???

Once again, up and getting ready for work. I can't complain though we had such a lovely weekend. Laura, Congrats on getting a fill today. I bet it's going to feel so foreign to you. Everyone have a great day and I'll chat at you later today. I have a full schedule.

Hello. Hubby and I went to Bob's last night and we had a great time. It was weird though, not having Kathy there. I kept expecting her to walk in any moment. We left about 10:30. I took a muscle relaxer at 11pm last night and slept till 10am. Guess I needed it. Hubby was wanting to get yard work done, so within 1/2 an hour of getting up I was dressed and mowing. Uck. We got a lot done. It is absolutely beautiful outside and we spent most of it out there. We listened to the ballgame and I piddled in the backyard. We cooked some hot dogs on the grill and I played with the cats. We just enjoyed it all. Hubby is going to start the grill here soon. I have some kabobs I want to cook up. I'll finish the laundry and than start getting ready for bed. Terry, sounds like you need that time. Hang in there. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers. Have a great one.

Home from Church. Hubby and I are getting ready to go over to Bob's to play cards and chill. Sure wish Kathy was going to be there. I miss her alot. Tomorrow is cut the grass day here. It needs it too. I also bought some kabobs for the grill and some peppers.Can't hardly wait. Everyone have a great evening.

Morning Girls. I'm up and showered, I have a 4 hour shift to work today. TracyK, enjoy the peace and quiet while you have it. Everyone have a great weekend.

Movie was great, we really enjoyed it. Came home and had no internet so I decided to go ahead and get the carpets cleaned. I started doing that and the skies got all dark. Just north of us is getting hit bad. Hope Tracy is ok. Laura, I love the pics.

Hubby and I are off to go see "Star Trek". Michelle, Have a blast and don't over due the choco-thing. When you get done there can you go take care of Pammie's house? And TracyKS and I live about a 1 1/2 hour drive from each other. She's right over the state line from me and Janie is on the other side of the state from me. About a 4 hour drive. Janie, Yup, my birthday is June 24th. Same as Judy's. The concert is the 29th. (I think) in Chicago. I need to contact Bob and ask him more details but I think Darrell and I are going to drive up on Friday, spend the night and tour Chicago and than leave early Sunday morning. If all goes well. Sister hasn't been told yet but hopefully my other sis can step in for me. We'll see. Airfare for us was going to be over $400 and Amtrak was $100 cheaper but both ways we would be without a car. I just got new tires so we are set. Pammie, I'm sending Michelle over to clean your house. (Isn't that nice of me to do?). You are going to make one cute little graduate. Have a great day.

Sausage cups. 1 lb. Sausage crumbled cooked and drained. 1 cup of Ranch dressing 1 cup schredded cheddar cheese Mix all together and place by Tablespoon full into Phyllo cup and bake for about 5-7 minutes. Variations: You can use any flavor sausage, spicy is good. You can also use lite dressing or any other flavor. And you can also use any flavor of cheese. The combinations are limitless. You can also use Wonton wrappers, just bake them before putting filling in and than bake them again. Just watch for burning on the edges.

Hubby and I are up and he decided that after yesterday that we are not going to the gym today. So I'm gonna get dressed and go to the grocery store. They have watermelons on sale. I think when I get back that it will be shampoo the carpets time. I had a real good eating day yesterday. I hope I can keep this up. I also did really good on drinking my water, but it helped being outside in the sun all day. This morning you can now tell I'm sunburned. It never dawned on me to put sunscreen on, duh. Have a great day.
