Well I am doing great and am now wearing a size 6 jeans and so happy to find they fit when trying on new clothes.  I love to shop!!

I recently had my blood work done and this is the second time everything came back as Great.  (I am in excellent health).  A very nice feeling.   My knees are doing great and I really get around....

I have been working in my yard again and hope to make some changes for the good out there.  I have planted a lot of perenials and of course they come back each year and also multiply.  So it is looking better all the time.  I want to get my pond going again.  I miss not having any fish. 

I am thinking of going back to work,  its been almost ten years and I just found out I wouldnt lose my pension so am looking into it real soon.  Gotta make more money so I can keep up with my latest hobbie.  Shopping!    I Love looking at all the new clothes and now should stay out of the stores.   My closet is full again.  I am still giving away clothes, They are too big and I keep taking them out of my closet.  Though I am saving my 8's, 10's and 12's just incase.  I love some of my new clothes and hate to part with them.  I might just gain some weight back.  My girls think I should gain as I look older now. I am now wearing the same size as their clothes.  I have not tryed to lose weight for along time now and hopefully I wont lose anymore....  Anyway what a problem.  lol

I will be back to update and check on all of you..... I have had my pictures taken for some time so guess I should work on that....

Well I made it,  its just over a month since I had my left knee replacement.  I am doing extremely well and with 'no' complications.  Thanks to all who prayed for me.  I was pretty worried about this one ~ but happy to say I am really doing all I can and things are coming along really well.  I still have a couple of weeks of rehabilitation left and I am having my therapy in the pool now, I really enjoy that.  Much nicer as its nice and warm and not nearly the pain involved.  This last time I had some time out of the pool too and talk about sweat.  Trying to move that knee is not as easy as with some.  I do have swelling and my  muscles just fight it.  I am so thankful I went to the pain clinic and got help before my surgery.  I would never have made it with what they gave me at the hospital or care center.  I was only there a week and have been staying at my daughters since.  I come home from time to time to visit with my animals and get a few things done around here.  Have another daughter staying here and I will probably come home for good really soon.

I slept most of the day and cant sleep tonight so here I am on the computer.  I took a nice hot shower and wanted to get to bed early . I am having trouble getting to sleep.   I have to be up for church early in the morning so I should try again to get some shut eye.  But want to be sure I get up in time too.

Oh the best news is that I am losing again and am down to 160 pounds.  It has just been coming off really great again.  I am not even trying anymore.  I bought some new clothes, all size 12 and really happy about that.  Twenty more pounds to go and I will be so happy.................. then I hope to have my tummy tuck.  So everyone keep the faith,  it will come off if you keep on tract.  Protein drinks help too, Gotta get the protein in.   I plan to have a wonderful year ahead, I can hardly wait for spring!!

Just feel like writing in here for a change.  I am going to a high school picnic tomorrow. We have one every year now. It should be fun.  My friend Bev came over from Utah and we will go out with another friend, Brenda.  We hung around together in school since the 7th grade.  There were four of us, but Marlene has a grandson getting married and cant make it.  Yes there were two of us.  Should be fun, I am just hoping its nice weather. You never know around here. 

Next year is our 50th class reunion and I am looking forward to that.  Im hoping my knee is all healed and I will have no problems getting around anymore.  I am even thinking of going back to work part time.  Gotta keep active. Still have lots of living to do. 

I've been feeling great and waiting very patiently to have my knee replacement next week.  Something I put off for three years and cant wait any longer.  I can hardly walk without it popping in and out of the socket.  Hurts too much, had to decide in a hurry to go for it and pray for the best results.  My other knee is doing really great and hope this one does as well.
Keep me in your prayers Thursday Sept 20th...
