Suziecat

Sitting here watching my "loser" team play. I still love them anyway. I'm not making good food choices today. Still can't get my head in the game. It wouldn't be so bad with the bad food choices but I'm eating too many of them. And I have a Doc appointment tomorrow, I'm afraid he is going to be disappointed again in me. I know I am. Sun is shining so when the game is over with I'm going to go cut grass. Get a little exercise with that. Maybe get up the gumption to go for a walk later today. I didn't really put down at the beginning what I wanted form my SS. I like surprises. I went ahead and listed a few things just to make it a little easier for my SS.

I'm up again. That felt good to get another few hours of sleep. Sun is shining now and it's supposed to get up to about 50 degrees today. Lovely. Oops forgot to mention what I like. Well, let's see. I like cats but don't send me anymore. I have 3 already. I love food but that is how I ended up having to get the band. I still love food though. But don't send me any of that either. I'm pretty easy to buy for. I do like floral scents. A nice winter scarf and gloves. A pair of those socky things that have the no-skids on the bottom. Bracelets. I wear them alot. I like the County Time lemonade packets for bottles. Orbit bubble gum. This might be hard to find this time of year but we do have the pool, so a beach towel. Anything from the region you live in, like a t-shirt (3x). I collect spoons. I hope this helps you out. Hopefully later today I will be able to get out and cut the grass. This will be the last time for the year. I need to mulch the leaves while I'm at it. Have great a day.

Movie is over so I'm heading back to bed. Judy, sounds like you had a great time shopping and got some good deals. I need to get around to doing some shopping. Need to find the time first. TracyK. That's a good idea about letting everyone know. I will let everyone know that my gift will not be sent till about the 15th of December. For one thing, I'm not done sewing yet. Off to bed. Everyone have a great day and make good choices.

up and still watching the movie. Getting tired though.

Woke up at 4:30 and decided not ot fight it. I'm watching a movie on LMN. Will probably be headed back to bed soon. Jane, That would be fine. I think Hubby waited at the Appleby's by Best Buy's. We could meet there and than look for another place if you want. Sitting here in the computer room and about an hour ago I saw a tow truck go down our street. About 10 minutes later he came back by with a car behind him. Must be a repo, why else would someone be towing that early in the morning. Be back later.

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my specialty. My family loves when I make them. Super busy day here today but right now I'm sitting in my chair with a fire in the fireplace and my blanket waiting for me to cover up with. It's 32 degrees and we had snow flurries earlier today. I was out running around while it was doing that. Now home safe and warm. I took celexa for about 4 months after my Mom passed away. Just needed a little something to help me thru my sadness and it worked. I started to ween myself off after about 4 months. I'm even thinking I might try going back on them for awhile. Jane, are we set for next weekend?? Meet you around 10:30-11;00 at the same place we met before?? My christams stuff won't go up till about 2 weeks before the holiday. My Father passed away during the holiday and so it doesn't caring the same upbeat feeling for us. We tend to now focus more on that it is Christ's birthday and what that means for us. The commercial part of it just doesn't do it for us anymore. I don't mean to bring anybody down and am sorry for that. It's just that we lost a huge part of our lives. TracyK, What a find. Lucky you. Pam, Get to feeling better soon. Back to my fire, have a great evening.

Good Morning Girls. Sitting here watching the news and they are calling for snow tomorrow. Just slightly, a dusting. Yikes. Terri, Glad to have you back. We missed you. I know what you mean about having your feelings hurt. It's happened to me and I just needed to give myself a kick in the butt and get over it. I tend to hold things in and they sit and fester. I just have to stop being a brat and realize people don't always see things my way. That's what makes us all special. Even you. TracyKS, What did the doc have to say?????? Maybe a day with Jane and Suzie is all you need???????LOL?????? Sure you and Robby can't go with us? Denise, Have a safe weekend and we will miss you. Off to work for 6 hours. I'll be back around noon. Hugs to you all.

Good Morning Girls. Woke up to a beautiful sight. The sun is shining like crazy. I love it. Busy day for me. Sis has a doc appointment than I have a staff meeting than I have to take the car in to have work done on it. While I'm over by the car dealership I plan to get some shopping done also. Than I have my Tai Chi class tonight. When I'm busy like that I find I am at my best on the eating. I'm also doing real good at the nothing to eat till 9am. If I eat to early in the morning it sets up a bad eating patern for me. I feel like there is too much time between meals and than I start to do the snacking. Everyone have a great day and I will check in when I can. Hugs to you all.

Add a string cheese to my list of food.

I thought about writing in a journal this morning. Does that count??? I've had oatmeal and a handful of pretzels so far today. I know tonight I will be having a salad. Hopefully that will be all I shove into the big abyss.

Home and relaxing. Doing some laundry and catching up on some recorded shows. Cold and wet here. I'm ready for the sun to come out tomorrow. Can't hardly wait.

Tracy, You can bring Robby. I was thinking of him last night and remembering you imitating him from when I took him down to brush creek. About him NOT falling in. Too funny. If not, we will miss you.

Yea, Kat's Home.

Sunshine. I can't answer your question as I have never thrown up the whole time I have had my band. I've had a quesy tummy at times but never need to throw up. Went to work this morning than over to the car dealership. Not good news. They charged me $90. to tell me that they couldn't pinpoint the problem, just that there is a large fuel pressure going on and it could be a list of a dozen things causing it. So they want to eliminate it by process starting with the cheapest. $320.00 to change the sensor and see if that is what is cuasing the problem. If not than it might be the fuel pump, if not than it might be a wiring harness. Whooly Crap. I need to go get a job. It's an "04" and has only 45,000 miles on it. Jane, I can meet you the 23rd if you want. Just let me know what time and we can meet at the same place as before. TracyKS, you up to go with me to Columbia?????? I'm not doing to good on my food choices today. Sucks to be stressed. I have been very very good on my water. Up to 80 ounces already. :laugh: Have a great day.

Good Morning Girls. Yup 5am again. Not only am I covering for the girl that just quit but a girl at the South store is on vacation. So now I am covering her shift also this week. Just love this part-time job. LOL. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. It's just that it leaves me no time for my Vi's. And in between shifts today I have to take my car in. The check engine light has been on for a week. I have time to take it in for a diagnosis today but will have to take it back Thursday for the work. My sister has several Doc appointments this week and I can't get her into the truck. Judy, Thank You so much for the text. I really needed that. And I am most impressed with you and your journal. I wish I was a better one. Mine sits half empty. No snow here yet but I did see a salt truck yesterday, sent a chill down my spine. It's that time of year again. I miss my pool. Jane, I'll check my calender and let you know. Maybe we can talk Tracy into going with us??????? I miss all of you guys and I promise to take care of myself this week. It is very hectic but it does keep me out of the kitchen. All of you take care and remember that today is CTCD. Hugs.

Jane, We need to meet up in Columbia again. I need your help with shopping for my secret Violet. When do you have a free day for this?????????????

Good Morning, Up and getting ready for my early morning shift. TracyK, The new girl we had gotten and trained quit on us and now I have to cover both shifts again. We have signs up for help but the problem is the hours. No one wants to work 6am-10am. the ones that come in have kids and need to get them on the bus during those hours. It will take awhile but we will eventually find someone. I'm still struggling with the head game. I just can't seem to quit this fight that is going on in my head. I seem to want to fight my band all the time. The band tells me NO and my head tells me GO. I did really good yesterday but that was because I wasn't home all day and around the kitchen. Lets hope I have a really good week because next Monday is my next appointment. Everyone have a great day and make really good choices. Hugs to you all.

Hello, I sure missed you guys. We went to Richmond Friday evening for a baby shower. Our niece and her husband adopted a baby and they had a huge gathering to show him off. We ended up spending the night at hubby's sisters. We had a good time. Came home and stayed in my jammies all day and in my chair. Just felt a cold coming on and I wanted to fight it off. Today I was wanting to go to the Mall and get some shopping done. I took Abby and that was a mistake. We had a ball but ai couldn't get any shopping done. However I did have a huge NSV. Abby decided that she wanted to ride the huge merry-go-round. Not just ride it but to go up on the second floor and ride the pony up there. I actually had to go up there with her and ride. Yup, that was me up there on the merr-go-round. It was a lot of fun but after awhile I was getting dizzy. We had a wonderful day today and she wore me out. I'm all for the chocoholic trip. Maybe next year we could have the group get-together there. I will just have to not tell my sis I'm going. I just go and then tell her after I get back. LOL. Have a great evening

I have just a minute to stop and say HI. I worked 6-9am and am on my way back to the other store to work at 10am. Just enough time to get me a bowl of oatmeal and go potty, maybe kiss the hubby on my way out. I will be stopping by later to chat, but hubby and I are going out of town for the night. We should be back fairly early tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing from Kat and from Pam.

All is not right with the world until American Idol is back on. I hope this year is as exciting as last year. I actually heard my first Christmas song on the radio today. Yikes, too soon. Last year the started the day after halloween. I guess people must have complained about it. Told my Boss today that I wasn't going to decorate till the week of Thanksgiving. I hate going into a store and the already have all of there stuff out (except Hobby Lobby).

Yup, I use my checks for household bills. Everything else I use my debit card. Still gotta keep track of the spending.

You take the checkbook, open it and if there are still checks in there you still can go shopping. That's how I balance it.

Jane, right now it is 52 degrees and very very windy. The next few days it's supposed to be in the 40's and than drop from there next week. So I'm sure it's headed your way. Went to our Family breakfast this morning and ordered french toast. Tried to disguise that I wasn't eating all of it. Was glad when the girl finally came and took our plates so I didn't have to answer questions anymore about "Why aren't you eating". Was good seeing everyone. Came home and mopped the floors and balanced the checkbook. Gonna take the rest of the day easy. I'm working a double shift tomorrow and than hubby and I are going to his sisters and spending the night. Busy weekend for me. Have a great day.

Jane is my BFF

Interesting evening last night. We worked our shift and I kept running into people that I knew. One of them was a woman that I had worked with and she got her band about 6 months ago. She looks good. Anyway, Hubby and I are sitting there and I hear my name paged. So I pick up the phone and it's my sister telling me that she has her hubby in the ER. So off we go and it turns out that he had hurt himself at work. They had him lifting real heavy stuff and he had a muscle spasm in his back. Well, I run into another person I knew and I was able to get caught up with her. It was nice. I get back to our department and I'm in the decontamination room and they unknownly had me some contaminated equipment. So I get the scrub down. I have the cleanest hands and arms around now. I ain't touching anything. Jane, That was fast. I really didn't think you would have that done till after the Holidays. But I would have been the same way. My sewing has a calming affect with me. I would have also been sitting there in the courtroom just sewing my fingers away. Jenn, Take care of yourself and Happy B-day to your son. Everyone have a great day.
