Good Friday Morning Everyone!
Good Morning and Happy Friday to all of you....I think Thanksgiving is overrated and should be called TooMuchFoodgiving!
I am trusting that all of you had a good day yesterday even though I am sure it was met with a lot of trepidation about food and WORK!
We went to a friends of ours last night and I am telling you...I have never seen quite a spread...it was downright sinful. This is a person who has had a DS and never flipped the switch off about food. I am not saying this to be mean, but it is kind of like our eyes are bigger than our tummy kind of thing. The food was great what I ate of it....like nearly nothing, but that is okay.
So how was your day yesterday? Lets hear all about it!!!
Please whatever you do today, keep Luana's sister in your prayers.
Also if you are going out shopping (you're crazy you know) remember to smile at the person who cuts in front of you for that bargin or does not know the meaning of getting in line and for sure go out there with a whole big helping of patiences because you are going to need it! You could not pay me to go shopping today for sure...hate hate hate it!!!
Have a great day all no matter what you do!
“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.” –Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981).
Keep Luana;s sister in your thoughts. Hate to see her struggling. Really hate seeing Luana struggling so bad.
Have a great day all

i had a bad time yesterday.. the food was ok there was tons of carbs but i didn't eat them.. i'm glad i made a few things that i can eat...my eyes were for sure to big , and i set my plate and i brought most of it home... i chickened out for telling everyone about my surgery i will tell them nexted year when you can tell i have lost weight. most of my family are snobs and not over wieght...plus when i was there i had a wicked flash back from my childhood... it sucked .. made me realize why i act the way i do....and also one of my asshole uncles tried to yell at my daughter for wasteing food and i just jumped his sh** ... if my daughter can't eat all her food that's fine with me... she know's when to stop eating...kids are very smart...so anyway i hope today goes better.. i hope everyone has a great friday...
I am up and thinking about taking a shower. After my pot of coffee. My lifes blood. I have all ready spoke with my sisters nurse, and my sister had a good night. Only in the way as she didn't slide back. Her blood persure is still stable, but her 02 level are still low. But I am taking that as good news.
I will be heading up there at 8 to hang out with my new friends that have been up there in the ICU waiting room for a month or more. I know we wont be there that long. She looks good, just need to her level up.
The place she rents a room from had the nuts to tell her 19 year old son, that she will now need to find some where to live, that she will not be able to take care of her. OK OK I understand that she works and can not take on having to take care of someone, but to say something at a time like this. She needs to learn when and how. Her son was freaking out. I had already talked to my other sister, (we have all been here done that with my dad) about her coming to stay here so we can take care of her. I just wanted to yank her hair out. Jerk!!!
WOW! I guess I should have saved that for my sunday confussion, LOL.
I hope that you all had a great day, and that you all where able to spend time with your loved ones.

Yesterday was good, helped as much as possible, rested a lot. I still think I probably did a little too much, but hey today will be better. Hopefully my drainage is low enough to remove both drains and get this binder off, take a nice shower and then I am sure crash for several hours from the exertion.
The family is coming to my house for dinner tonight, but it is already made and just needs to be thrown into the oven. Granma will still probably being doing most of it. Other than that, no plans for today!! NO SHOPPING!!!!
Lu you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!!
Hope everyone has a good day. Be good to yourselves and those around you!!!

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

Like you said Janine, for those of you going shopping are crazy.....Well, I was on of those crazy people...I left the house at 2:00am whent to Kohls, Walmart, and Target...and now I am home. And, it was crazy. I told my husband when I got home this is it...no more!!! I can't handle all the rude people..nothing is worth it and certainly not my life!!! I have just going to buy things on-line.
With that note...I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and today were going to decorate for Christmas....yeppie!!!!!!
Well, I hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!

No shopping for me I have been done since Halloween. Yesterday was good. I made my little dinner plate and ate only a few bites, but it did taste good. I have a house full of sickies. Not fun as when one gets sick they pass it around to the other 8 people who live here and then it goes around and around. I felt gross yesterday and not feeling much better today. I never get up this late, but today I did. I had some awesome plans for today, but since everyone is sick we just had to cancel. I was really looking forward to today, but my kids need to be home in bed along with me and just resting and recouperating. I am so glad to hear that Lu's sister is hanging in there and pray that her oxogen levels pick up soon. Lu you and Dee will be in our prayers again today, please keep us posted. Everyone have a super Black Friday!

Good Morning Janine, Good Morning California!
Well Turkey Day has come and gone, and I'm relieved! I ran the Turkey Trot in the morning before going on a turkey tour of a few different places. My friend John is 2-weeks post-op and just began the soft phase, so I did soft foods with him at his house. I had a few tablespoons of everything and couldn't fini**** all anyways.
I like that I enjoy the holiday and the food without overeating, and at the end of the night I can go home without the guilt of overindulging.
My family was great. It was the first time I had seen my sister in a while. So I made sure I looked good. :P slim-fitting skirt, heels, fitted shirt..... my mom made a big deal about how cute I looked. :)
I'm in my cubicle today, doing lots of housekeeping and decorating the office tree. I can't wait for Christmas!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had my last of what I know as a "full" thanksgiving meal and said so right before I ate it. I was proud of myself though, I was careful in preparing things and all in all it was very healthy and not over the top.
I cooked, and my husband and I packed up dinner, a card table and chairs and we brought dinner to my father-in-law who has been in the hospital since election day and is now in rehab trying to regain his strength. We are praying that he has the will and the want to, to get stronger so he can come home again. My mother-in-law is having a tough go of things as you can imagine but I think the day was wonderful just the same.
Goin' out shopping with my friend on our annual shop til you drop day. We'll be putting our decorations up and getting ready for Christmas.
Hope everyone has a fabulous day.
