u look fabulous

I was at WalMart and Kohls today. Love me some Kohls. Wished I had a coupon. LOL! Looked around alot but didn't buy much. Did get Rich a tea kettle (he wants one - a red Kitchenaide one) and a "I Double Dog Dare Ya" t-shirt ($6). LOL! I'm home alone. Rich is working 4 to midnight tonight. He had to leave early to go over and help his father get his leg off. It was stuck. YES, you read that right. His artificial leg was stuck on again. Once again, he didn't put the leg sock on properly so it wadded up inside and got stuck in the mechanism that releases it. Apparently he called 911 this morning and the paramedics couldn't figure it out. Rich knows how to. Elderly parents can be a pain. ROFLMAO. Kathy

Just popping in to say good morning. Not a darn thing going on - have had about 5 hours of sleep and even though I've hit the coffee hard, I'm just not rarin to go yet. It's FREEZING outside - 28 whole degrees! - and I'm dreading going outside in it. But, me and the kids have dental appts this morning so I guess I don't have much choice. After the dentist appointments, I might go hit up Kohl's. They're having a huge sale and I have a 15% off everything coupon from some promotion or another. I'm thinking it's a good time to stock up on some nice warm sweaters... After that, who knows? Aaron's going out with the boys tonight, think I'm just going to sit and veg. Maybe get some organizing around the house done... Hope you all have a great weekend!

This challenge started Monday October 30th and runs til Christmas hence the "8 weeks". Anyone can join at any time along the way. Set your own goals for the period. Be sure to think of some reward for yourself at the end whether it is something purchased for yourself or simply taking some much needed time for just yourself - it all counts. As for goals, try not to set a goal of complete "perfection" meaning doing something 100% of the time, 24/7. Life sometimes gets in the way. Set goals that are reasonable and attainable - no need to fail before you even get started. Also, try not to set a goal of losing x number of pounds between now and Christmas. Being over 1 year post-op, I think we all know that it is hard to predict losses. Just commit to things like water intake, exercise, good eating habits and if you have weight to lose... the scale may very well be kind and move. Welcome, if you are new! Report-in, if you started this earlier in the week! Kathy

Hi Deanna- you've been on my mind. I just hope they find something and are able to fix it so you can move on and be happy and healthy! When you get better and healed from your surgery we should meet for lunch! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, my friend!
