Hey PamELa.. how is your new student.. AB or JZ or MR.. or whatever the heck his name is??

Kat... so happy to hear Manda is doing so well. What a difference a day.. or week.. or several makes!!

Hey Laura... if I was to take a pic of my tummy, I'd look just like you! Does that mean I'm pregnant too??? Kris looks like she is carrying a GIGANTIC basketball that is lopsided. She looks so uncomfortable.

Ethan is still sleeping, so I don't think I'll have to worry about him begging for the Wii. His dad comes at 5 to pick him up.

I've seen pics of you Judy, you're a skinny minny!! And I saw you last year, and you were skinny then, so don't even go there ;P

My mom doesn't want a 'granny' kind of title.. I have a niece, but she's not really in our lives (in NJ with her mom), but my mom adopted 'Granbee' for her.. I always thought that was a stupid name, and it doesn't 'flow'. Bee is what we call her, so it's gran-bee.. whatever..

So anyway, we keep talking about it, can't think of anything we all like.. so I found a website today, a bunch of names for g'ma.. I didn't read through it all, but I copied Russ on it too.

He wrote back.. He picked out his top 5, starting with "Mabubbles" lololol. So at the end of his e-mail he says "What do you think Mabubbles?" LOL. The other 4 he picked out were Goober, Tissue, Sugamomma, and Toto. hah.

Ok.. I have skinny legs, and skinny wrists, but my tummy is definitely pregnant looking. Unfortunately at the end of 9 months I won't have anything to show for it except the same belly!!!

Laura, My sister is Gramma Lou Lou. Sometimes depending on the day she is having, it's Gramma Loopy. (remember, brain injury). Her first name is Mary Lou.

Pam, I was having a great food day till I was watching "Kung Fu Panda" with my younger Sis and she brought out the box of cheese-it's, Holy Cow.

Now just sitting on my A*# and doing nothing. Well, enjoying a nice quite evening.

Have a great one everybody.

And TracyK??? Come on girls.. POST!!!

Sorry girlies! I have been playing with my new myspace page. It is cute cute CUTE. I even put a pic of a MJC and a piece of Tiramisu on there.:tt1: I have also got other things on my mind too that I wish I could get into but I just really can't. It is not money or family, just something personal that would be nice to talk to someone with over a drink or 2, or 3 or 4. :)

Laura, I sent another add request....maybe it is there now?

Jenn-I sent you another one too?!

Pamela...did you get the add invite for myspace?

Kat-yeeeehawwww, Manda is on the mend!

Jane-loved the b-day card TOO much!

If you do not have one in there I am listed with my yahoo e-mail address.

I have not really been able to eat anything. Still so much sinus drainage and...well, I will spare you the nasty details.

Love & miss you all....

Good evening, Violets..

It was a nice, quiet day today. Ethan slept for 3 hours and when he woke up, his daddy was here to take him home. Not a bad babysitting gig!

The Bobster and I are watching Iron Man on pay for view and then I'm headed to bed.

Everyone have a good evening. sleep well.

Hey Gang~

TracyK...I don't have myspace. I don't have time to figure out a new site...don't even have time to master Facebook, nor do I play many of the games people play there. Maybe one day this summer!

Just got home @ 7pm...and now watching All My Children. I love it! I am pooped. Gonna work out 2morrow.

Have a great night! Where is everyone.

Hey girls~

I chose to be Granny as a smart aleck response to my MIL saying I was too young to be a Granny.....nope, I am Granny, and the only one any of them have!!

Actually my 2 oldest call me Mam. And while they have never been any further south than we are here, they draw it out into 2 syllables!! Ma'am. They sound VERY polite, when in actuality it is just what they call me!

My Mom is Nana to all of them. She really wanted my kids to call her Nana, but they have always simply called her Grandma.

MIL is Ema (EEEE Ma)--- to her DD, my SILs kids while SIL is Ahma (Ahhh-Ma) which is Yiddish or something!!!

To the grandkids in Denver my MIL is Memaw (Mee-Ma).

Becky calls herself Granny, but her DIL insists on her son calling her Gma (GeeMa) and Becky's Mom is GiGiMa (shorthand for Great Grandma). The grandson does not call them that, but his Mom does!!! He calls Beck Granny, and he never sees her Mom but once a year maybe...proving, most of the time, the kids will decide!!! LOL

My former Son in law called his Grandma Sprinkles----no idea why, I was always unsure about asking as strange as his family was!!! Kinsey calls his Mom her Daddy Gramma! Cracks me up, it sounds just like saying Baby Daddy!!! LOL

I have the DW loaded, but need to clean counters, and mop....just don't wanna!!!

Rick has a friend over, yakking, so I am trying to give them some peace and not interupt into the work conversation!!

I do have to say, and I do not mean this in any racist manner, that they are sitting here talking about how racist the shop is....and they are meaning it in regards to how many Navajos have to be hired in relation to any other race. The comical thing about them discussing it being racist, is Rick is white, his buddy is black!! And that has not entered into the conversation at all!

Well, I am going to go do the work whether I want to or not.

Will check with y'all tomorrow!!!

Hugs!

Growing up I had Grandma's....that was all. I had a Big Grandma and a Little Grandma. Which had nothing to do with size really. My Little Grandma----their last name was Little, so as a small child, when one was Grandma Little, the other must be Grandma Big!!! LOL

We spent the day with Kinsey and Connor. Ali went to the Dr. had her US. There is only one baby, but they moved her due date up by almost a month. The picture they got was sooooo good! Perfect profile ultra sound. Unable to tell a sex on the baby yet! She says she would love for it to be a girl, but she also feels like she wants another boy....so guess she is ok either way.

Hope you all have a great day. Frank and I are going to go walking at the park today. Our park has a walking track complete with mile markers and workout stations. It is supposed to be pretty today so we are going to take advantage of it.

Have a good one ladies and I will check back in later!

Up and drinking my hot chocolate. Trying to get up the gumption to go to Wally World. Not one of my favorite things to do. They are going to be openeing a Target soon, so I am looking forward to that.

We are going over to a friends today, they have a fallen tree and we are going over to cut it up and stack it for firewood. After that I have to work the evening shift.

It's Fat Tuesday and CTCD, something is just wrong with that.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
