Good Morning

Good morning California and Lu!

Lu I finally got warmed up and cleaned a little and had another movie marathon day at home.  I never watched it before but The Postman with Kevin Costner was pretty good - I loved the scenery.

Anyway, going to see the therapist today which I am very grateful for.  I have a lot of stuff going on in my head around this surgery and not being able to push feelings down with the food.  I knew I was a compulsive overeater going into this and knew I avoided feelings with food, so while I am very grateful to have had the surgery, there have been a lot of feelings coming up and I need to talk.

Tonight me and a few of my girlfriends are having a Twilight Extravaganza.  We are going to get together and watch Twilight and then go down the hill and see New Moon.  I AM INSANE ABOUT THESE MOVIES!!!!  I am so Team Edward although it is obvious Jacob has been eating all his vegetables (if you know what I mean - wink, wink, nudge, nudge). 

So that is my day.  Hope every out there has a good one.  Oh Maureen, congrats on the NINE puppies.  They are so cute!!!

Good Morning Lu and Cali Crew....

It is such a beautiful morning. I hope you get your computer stuff fixed, Lu. And congrats to MoMo on the 9 new pups. Dolores, I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium! I love Cannery Row, yup its called 17 Mile Drive. Very beautiful. Becky, I hope you have a safe drive and good luck on your pre-op. Leslie, movie marathons sound great. I just wish I had more time to have one. Barb, can't wait to see the pictures of the new yard art! Lori C, enjoy your Monday today and your friday tomorrow!
I had a fantastic time yesterday. I went to go see Katt perform with the choir at Calvery Chapel. It was so awesome. I loved attending and the musicians and choir members are so talented. I also spent some time with my mom, we met up for a early dinner. Discussing thanksgiving day plans. I am bringing all the fixin' to her house. Since I live up in the boondocks and the big family gathering isn't until Saturday. I thought we could enjoy a small dinner with her. She is 63 and like a little pitbull, but I still love being able to spend time with her and just enjoy my mama.
Today brings running some errands and getting some day-to-day stuff out of the way. Tonight, I will be going to a brand new support group in Fontana. These are friends I knew since December of last year. I am actually pretty excited about this. We have been talking about this for some time and now its officially off the ground. Please keep us in your thoughts, as we start our new WLS support group and wish us luck!  Have a fantastic day!
Hugs,
Michelle

Good Morning Miss Lu and Cal,

I loved watching NASCAR yesterday.  No Mark didn't win, but Jimmie did and he set NASCAR history.   It was a relative boring race, but that is ok, that means no one got hurt!  It's the races when the finish comes down to car running for the checkered flag, they are inches away, and doing 180-200 miles an hour.  Now how fun is that,  I am hoping that MAYBE this year for my birthday I will get that drive around the track....someone please tell Dougie. 

I am waiting for the plumber to come.  I need to get my diswasher fixed because I dont want anyone to do dishes on Thurs.  This is going to be a special year because we are also having friends over, something we don't usually do.  It should be a wonderful fun day, lots of noise, laughing and good food.  What the heck more can a person be thankful for.  The only bad part about this is all is I am sick.  Got that sore throat thing going on, but I am calling the doc today and taking extra vitamins.  So when the plumber leaves you gotta know I am going to go to bed again.

Mo, take care of all those babies....my Vicki is a runt, but you sure wouldn't know it.  Hugs....D

MANIC MONDAY IT IS! It's always crazy on Monday's....I'm going to make it a great day for me and I'm hoping everyone here has good one too!

I had the best weekend ever like always and I'm looking forwards to another long weekend for me with the holidays. 

Anna and I will be spending time together and will be enjoying family time. There's lots of baking to do!

You must be out of your mind with excitement....only 3 days of work this week.  May I tell you, that Doug only has 21 days of work left!!! Not rubbing it in or anything!!!!

Gus, you and Anna have a wonderful Thankgiving.  We all have so much to be thankful for,

Hugs, Diane

Hey Cali,

Had a great weekend... Saturday with friends (So. Cal. Coffee and lunch was fun and the Spades Meetup).  Sunday with family ... always great. 

I will out of the building come Wednesday.  Tomorrow night, I have to make more corn pudding (darn) for the office party.  Then Wednesday, I have to make 2 big containers of corn pudding for my cousin's house.

Hi Lu and Cali Crew,

Today seems mellow at work. I am going to the gym after work.  Lunch will include driving to a post office and standing in a long line only to return two packages of books I never ordered from those annoying book of the month club businesses.

My challenge today will be keeping busy and not bored. When I am bored at my desk, my inner-muncher surfaces.  I don't want to munch out to deal with boredom.

FINALLY.....we have been without computer here at the office all day and let me tell you that makes for a long day.  Well, it appears we are up and running now so I'm here.  Although I've got to now play morning catch up.  Always something.

Lu, let me know your schedule and let's see what we can work out for Knotts.  To be honest though, most of those rides I just won't do.  I know, I'm a chicken, but I'll go with you and watch you break the hands of the people who sit next to you.  hehehe

Well, everyone have a great day.  I'm off to finish my lunch and get busy.  Remember, do something nice for yourself.

Good afternoon LuLu and Cali! Thanx for the great shout out Lu. Sound check and services were awesome!! The choir sounded like angels. And I got to see Michelle from Victorville. She and her hubby trekked down the hill to come to second service. It wa so great to see them. Today I have been busy sending out my brother-in-law's obituary to the newspapers and designing the memorial card. The memorial will be on Dec. 5th at Rocky Point Fellowship in Mentone. It has been a Hellish few days. I finally got the card finished and I am now ready to print it. I have a choir meeting this evening as we are gearing up for the Christmas season. So, I guess that's it for me. I hope everyone is having a good day so far. x0x0x0
