Suziecat

Man, I've been busy all morning long. Before I headed home I decided to go to the car wash, drive thru. So when I got home I got inside and washed all the windows. I'm worn out. It's a beautiful day here today. I had for breakfast, 2eggs over easy. I piece of bacon. I biscuit with gravy. No lunch. I just had a handful of pretzels. Dinner will be very late tonight because I have Tai Chi class. I'm very proud of myself today. Will see what tomorrow brings, TracyKS, That's wonderful about your Mom. Good Luck with your PS appointment. Kat, someone ordered porn over the phone and used the numbers off of our checking account. On our statement it listed the phone numbers of the porn places. I called tham and they gave me all the info on who ordered it and their address. They refunded our money. They were very nice about it. At the bank we had to close every single account and reissue new numbers. We went to the police and gave them all the info, alot of good that did. We have never heard back from them. I eventually called the guys wife and informed her that her hubby was ordering porn and using other peoples money. We had drove by their house and I saw kids toys outside. I told her that with kids in the house that she needed to keep an eye on what her husband was doing. I left that on her answering machine. I see that they have moved since. I was in the kitchen mopping the floor when I heard Molly (our cat) fall in the pool. The cover is on it but she must have thought she could walk on it. Hubby came running when I called him but she was out by the time he got there. Her whole back end is wet. So we don't have to worry about her doing that again. Crazy nut. Haydee, How is your sister doing since her surgery? Is she losing good? Everyone have a great day.

Good Morning, The only thing keeping me from walking to th DQ was the big hill I would have had to walk up. Believe me, it was so tempting. Busy day for me today. Our Family breakfast is this morning at 9am. Than I have to go over to Sis's to do her bills and take her grocery shopping. Tonight I have my Tai Chi class and than home for dinner. I'm fixing Swiss Steak for tonight, mashed potatoes, green beans and a cresent rolls. Yummy. Everyone have a great day. Hugs to all of you.

Hey Girls, We're back. We went and saw "Noah, the Musical" last night. Wonderful, Awesome and wonderful. It was Amazing. We ate at "Waxy O'Shea's" for lunch. We jsut ordered appetizers. Get this, I ordered Deep Fried Hard Boiled Eggs. And believe it or not, they were good. I only ate one, but I liked them. I'll post more tomorrow about or trip. Pics are of the Eggs, Look what was right out our window, It was Hell and Hubby and I on the train. Have a great evening. I'm off to do laundry.

Hey Girls, I am pooped. We have been walking like crazy today. Last night we spent the night at a holtel at the "Lake". It was so good to see the lake again. I sure do miss living there. Sad that we sold our place a few years ago. But there was no way we could keep both houses going, but now that hubby is retired we have the time for it. It's amazing that I can't be away from home for one night without getting phone calls from home. Yikes. I hate to think what would they do if something happened to me. I've done ok with my eating. Had to stop at wally world this morning and buy a case of water. It's easier to do that when traveling. Just have to make to many stops for --you know what!!!!!!! Have a great evening and I'll check in later.

Terry, so glad that everything turned out great. That was what I was wishing for. Sorry about your son. Hope he's up soon and feeling better. TracyK, I haven't gambled in about 4 years. I did take Abba dabba to the arcade and let her play games she could handle. She had a blast. I like to play the slots, it's just that I hate to lose also. Hubby and I are going to Lake of the Ozarks today to visit an Uncle and Aunt. Hopefully we'll see some pretty trees. TracyinKS, is there anything you need from the outlet malls? Shoes? let me know and I can pick them up. We found gas last night for $3.09 WooHo!!!!!! I'll check in later.

Boy it really is quite here. We just got home from going to a B-day party at the Amerstar Casino. Hubby and BIL and I shared a plate of nachos and they shared a tower of beer. I was going to get one of those Mojito's but decided if I was going to drive home I better not. We only stayed for about 2 hours anyway. Didn't even gamble any. Tomorrow is football day so I'm sure it's a rest day for me. Get the laundry done day. Hope all is well with Terry.

TracyK, I was sad too wehn I read about Paul Newman. TracyinKS, I just signed Hubby up for the walk. I'm so excited about that. His sister sent me a huge check and I think that made him think about it. So you will get to meet my "Harley Man". I've gotten several checks but don't know how to list them on the website. I'll just bring them with me. Can't wait to see you again.

I did it. I walked to work this morning. Took me a little over 20 minutes to go 1.3 miles. I even had time to stop at the "Casey's" General Store and get me an iced tea. Had to call hubby to come and get me. There was a box they wanted me to take to the north store, so he came and got me. It's a beautiful day here today.Think I'll get back out and enjoy it while I can. Super Duper Hugs to Terry.

Terry, Go to your Mothers service today knowing that you have all you Violet Angels sitting on your shoulders. We are all sending our love so that you will get thru today....I would have loved to have seen the video, I wish they had that when my parents passed away. Good Luck to you and your Family today. Big Hugs for you. Laura, Congrats Girl. I have to work this morning at the South store and I'm contemplating walking to the store. It's 1.2 miles from the house. I would just need someone to come pick me up afterwards. I ain't walking both ways. Jane, You look wonderful. Just remember all the fun we had. Have a great day.

I took these pictures Sunday morning. The fog had just lifted and there was dew on everything. I know they are kinda creepy but very pretty.

That's funny, because I think Jane & Judy would say the same thing. LOL.

Well, last night I started a new journey. I am now taking Tai Chi lessons. Yup, me taking Tai Chi. And I love it. I left there really sore, feeling it in my shoulders and arms. I went home and did a few things and than went to bed. Slept all night. Didn't even wake up to go to the bathroom. I woke up before my alarm went off. Weird. I do remember dreaming but I don't remember what it was all about. I woke up so refreshed. Went into work and worked out like a dog. It just felt so good. Don't know what this feeling is but I do hope that it doesn't go away. So far this is keeping me motivated. And moving. I love it. Went to the movies yesterday. Saw "Mama Mia". I really liked it. I wish I could sing. So, the lady I went with is a lady I met at Weight Watchers. She has no clue as to me having a band. That is one thing that I have told only to my instructor and one other girl. I told my leader because I needed to be up front with her. The other person I told because she is in my exercise class. She was tellig me one day that she had had surgery also. She had the RNY done years ago and had lost over a hundred pounds. She found in the last year or two that she was slowly regaining her weight back. So she chose to go back to weight watchers. She is doing wonderful. She has been very supportive of my decision to not tell people. First I don't think it is anybody's business. Second I have been in the class when they have brought up the subject of surgery, WOW, are they mean or what. They just don't get the fact that I had reached the point where I needed more than just a support group to help me reach my goal. I have dieted many times and did good but than fell back to my old ways. Having the band was not an easy decision for me. I gave it months of thought and research like crazy. I even went to several seminars before I made the final decision. My husband even went to a seminar with me. He say what the whole thing was about and he even jumped on my side. He is my biggest supporter. My family is also a big help. Although my younger sister forgets sometimes and buys me things I should not be having. Dairy Queen. But you know it is still my decision to eat it or not. Now if I can just get my mind in the game. Course if I had, I would be at 170 pounds by now. So at this rate it looks like probably another year and I will be there. Would I like to be smaller and a real tiny waist, you bet. But unfortunatly I am a big bone person. I never will be a super model or TV star. But you know what? that's just fine with me. I actually only want to get where I'm comfortable. I want to know that I can sit on the floor and know that I can get back up with out hurting myself or having to ask people to help me up. I would love to go sit in out in the yard with my kitties.Right now I sit in a chair and they rub up against my legs. Think how happy they would be if I was sitting on the grass and they could rawl all over me. I signed up for the "Walk from Obesity" walk/. I'm really excited about this. I love to walk anyway. I may even see if the Hubby wants to come with me. He hates the Plaza so we'll see. I know another person that will be there. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the other people that I see on-line. Most of them I would be meeting if I went to the monthly support meetings. Unfortunely I seem to always have to work on those Saturday's. I'm hoping soon that when my boss hires a new person that they will take my Saturdays for me. Than I can start to go to the meetings. I have been to about 3 of them and they are wonderful. Now I just need to start going to more. Ok, I'm done now. I'll check in again and update my Tai Chi adventure.

TracyKS, Love the T-Shirt...Isn't that where David Cook went to school? LOL LOL LOL

Finally got my Sis to download the pics from Saturday night. Here we are.

Good Morning. Went to my first Tai Chi class last night and loved it. I was so sore when I left but it was a good sore. I am really looking forward to going again next week. I'll doing my practicing this week, hope I can remember all the poses he showed us. I have a long day today. Work for 7 hours than going over to mu Sisters to take her shopping and visit for awhile. Everyone have a great day. Oh, and I'm receiveing checks in the mail for my "Walk from Obesity" walk. It makes me feel so good to know that I have a lot of people supporting me and having faith in me. I feel special.

Mama Mia, here go again. Loved the movie. Meryl Streep is a pretty good singer. I joined a class today and tonight is my first one. For the next 10 weeks on Thursdays, I'm taking Tai Chi classes. A friend of mine told me today that she was taking it so I called and they had an opening. I'm really excited about this.

Kat, That is awesome about Rick. I'm sure you guys were both relieved about it. I was just getting on to let you know that I had mailed a package to you. They said it would get there Friday. That's good you got it sooner. I will be sending everyone one so when you all get together in June you can all wear them and take a pic for me. That way I kinda feel like I'm with you guys. Let's see, Judy, Jane, TracyKs and Kat are taken care of. Now to work on the rest of you. Geting ready to go take a shower. My friend and I are going to go see "Mama Mia". Neither one of us have seen it yet. Great, Popcorn time!!! Have a great day and I'll be back soon.

TracyKS, Congrats on the PS info. I still have a ways to go before mine so I too will live vicariously thru you. Good Luck.

Last night after we got home from our shift at the hospital, I went to go in and change my clothes. Well' I noticed that one of my rolls is missing. Now I just need to get rid of the last remaining few I have.

Can someone explain the "Dawn" dish soap thing to me??

Bad Food Day going on here. Bad, Bad, Bad. Awful. :girl_hug: :thumbup: :wub:
