Good Morning

Hey Gang....Its Thursday and that means its almost the weekend.

Just wanted to remind everyone about our Coffee meeting this Sat.....LB coffee - Or SB Coffee or SO CAL COFFEE - whatever  you want to call it is getting together this Sat at a new location.

Annette has made awesome name tags for us since we are such a huge group now.

The new location is in Seal Beach

Starbucks
12430 Seal Beach Blvd
Seal Beach
(562) 431-7973
10:00 Am until who knows

I am so looking forward to trying out this new location- they have a much larger patio area for our growing group....and by growing I only mean in number of bodies because we are all losers in a big way...I mean heck we have lost over a ton of weight between us...

So for today - what are you all up to?

Me - I am going for a walk and then maybe a little pool time and who knows what else

GUS - ITS ALMOST FRIDAY...I am thinking maybe you shouldn't  party to much Friday so you and Anna can come join us at coffee.

Monica P - I can not wait to see you and your new bod.....woohoo

Rhonda - do not let me forget to give you your clothes....

Diane C - girl I can not wait to see you and give you a big easy hug

So thats it for me - time to go read the paper as I just heard it drop at my door

Everyone have a great day and remember to stay hydrated and keep moving.....

Great Post! 

Thanks for the reminders, this old mind keeps forgetting things!  lol.  I am so worried I am going to forget the lid to Naomi's crock pot.  If I do I will make a special trip down to hand deliver it to her!  I don't know where the new location is, but that is o.k. with me as I am not driving!  lol.  I only have to get to Dianes house and that is about it.  That I know where it is.  Then I am taking my pillow and my Blanky and I am sleeping in the car all the way as I am pooped.

I get to do an interesting Hike tomorrow and I so look forward to that one.  It will be a 4 hour hike to a secret location where the Hollywood Hob nobbers of the 40's and 50's used to hang out.  I hear it is really cool I can't wait.  Got my map and I got a crew of people, crap I think I was supposed to learn how to use a compass and I darn forgot.  Oh well.  I have a great sense of direction so I am sure I will find where we are going!  I have a helper who has been there many times so I am not going to worry!  lol.  Ok enough is enough for me and I need to do some farming.  Have a super day Jean and See you on Saturday.

Rhonda

Hi Rhonda....I am so jealous...sounds like the hike will be a blast!  I am sooooo looking forward to seeing you on Saturday...... I will be there for sure....may have the Ex husband and daughter with me....not sure...but either way....Count me in! 
 

Good Morning Jean and Cali!

Wow what a week for weightloss!  We lost a total of 42.8 lbs . . . and that is without a bunch of people even chimming in!  Wahoo!

I want to say welcome to all the newbies here . . . it's a great place to find support and friendships!  Use it and enjoy it!  As for me . . . my mind isn't cooperating with anything . . . I even have to force myself to get in the shower . .. so I'm MIA a lot . . . and not up to speed on the boards at all . . . I'll get past this . . . but I do think about you guys a lot!  The lady I work with has announced she is retiring for sure in Jan . . . now the debate about whether she will be replaced or not . . . I can't handle 30 people on my own . . . I WILL find the window that opens on the 29th floor and use it I swear!  lol . . . we shall see . . .

Have a great time at the lunches and brunches this weekend . . . wish I could be there too!

Hugs
Chris

Hey Chris!
I just wanted to thank you for walking with my aunt's picture, it meant a lot to me and my family. I saw her this weekend and she was so touched!  She starts chemo in a couple weeks so we are all praying for her.   The pictures of your event were awesome!

Im sure this too will pass for you and you will be back and focussed... I sure know the feeling of forcing myself up and to get dressed, etc.

Hugs to you!

btw.. I added a 4.6 lb loss to WWW this morning, i forgot to add it in yesterday so.. that adds to our total for the week!  Yay!

Take good care!

Jackie

You are more than welcome to have had your aunt's picture and name along with the Boobie Bandits!  I sure hope she is doing fine and gets this chemo behind her soon!  I'm wearing my hat again in November when I do traffic for the San Diego 3Day . . . and then I'll put it away until next year.

Hugs
Chris

Good morning Jean and Cali,

Nothing exciting going on today.  I am enjoying the cooler weather at night, it helps me sleep. Vanessa has been a handful lately and I will be glad when she can go to preschool.  Just need to find one with extended hours.  Still waiting on the offer for DH.  They wanted more information yesterday (previous salary from 9 years ago!) seems a little outdated to me but what ever. 

This weekend is the Nor Cal lunch and I cannot wait to see everyone.  Have a great day!

Good Morning Jean and Cali Friends,

What a coinky dink, our Nor Cal luncheon is on the same day as the So Cal coffee, I just know there will be lots of love, friendship and support going on all over the state that day!

Today brings work, my boss is returning after a week being off for eye surgery, she is such a nut!  So much fun.  I told her I had a pile o'stuff to ask her (and I do too).  She's got double the amount of energy I do and she's in her mid 60's it's tough to keep up with her!  I am glad she's coming back today.

Tonight brings band rehearsal, I missed last week cuz I was just fried from the new job.  So I must go tonight as we have two rehearsals until our 1st concert.  It will be fun though.

So that's about all that is new in my neck of the woods.  Hope everyone has a great day.

Hugs,
Barb

Barb,
What instrument do you play? I played through high school and college, and off and on post school. I play piano, but my band instrument is clarinet. I played tenor sax for awhile in jazz band.

Good Morning,

I do not know what I am doing awake.  I would love to have another 2 hours of sleep, but I am not tired any longer.  It sucks when you have nothing to do all day and you wake so early. 

I am looking so forward to the Coffee this weekend.  It makes me so good to get out of the house.  I cannot tell you how much better I feel.  On the way home from the doctors the other day, Doug, my dad and I, had dinner before we came home.  It was so nice to be out, just somewhere other than my bedroom.   Yesterday I had a cleaning lady come in,  now Dougie is free of housework.  I am so glad, he needs to rest some, he just can't keep doing everything in this house. 

Other than the above, there is not much going on.  I am so glad that the weekend is so close that you can smell it.  Speaking of smell, hey, let's keep all those firefighters in our thoughts and prayers.  These guys are out there in this heat fighting fires.  I don't know how they do it, it's hard enough just to get to the car without breaking a sweat.  Also the Yucaipa fire is not that far from here and the smoke isn't too nice.  It stinks!!!!

Alrighty all, have a great day, drink your water, exercise in the coolness of the morning or evening hours, and make someone smile today.

Love You all, Diane
