Thursday Roll Call

Good morning IL. Well it is almost the end of the week. Some have surgeries coming up real soon or today or others are packing their bags to leave tomorrow. Keep all of them in your thoughts and prayers.  Nothing specific going on for me. I am all caught up at work. I have had a project (one of my own creation) sitting there for months I think that I will start to tackle it today. Other than that not much going on.  Come on in and tell everyone what is going on with you, whether you are PO or pre. We all would like to share in your lives. Take care, Christine

Good morning Christine and my fellow Illinois friends! It's been a very busy week for this lady. I had a great time on my second date last night. We went to Wellington of Arlington for dinner and dancing. We did some mighty fine slow dancing . I'm going to meet another man from Texas, originally from North Carolina next weekend. He is so sweet and has a sexy voice too! My social life has picked up big time. I'm planning on visiting Shannon on Saturday at ABMC after her WLS tomorrow. I'm sure she is on her way to the area since she will need to start doing her pre-op prep this afternoon! Otherwise this weekend hopefully will be pool time and visiting my mom and sister. Soon I will have to pack my bags again for my Alaskan cruise. I'm headed to Vancouver on July 12th to spend two days there and then board the Princess ship on July 14th. Now I have to start thinking about what I am going to take to wear on the cruise. Decisons, decisions!!! July is going to fly right by. Well that's my story for now! OK, who's next?

Hugs, Lucy

Hi Guys,
I know I haven't been around lately but I do read almost daily. I have been busy working and driving my daughter all over the place. Why can't I be a teenager again and spend every day at Great America? Maybe I will be brave by the end of the summer and go with her and actually do one (only one) of the rides. I hope everyone has a good day.

Hi Shar. Hope to see you on Monday at the support meeting! Be brave, take one of the rides!! I'm going to go zip lining in Alaska. Yikes, I will be a brave soul.. Lucy

You will do fine with the zip line in Alaska. Hey if I can go down the slide at the water park where you lay on your back, cross both your arms and feet and then go straight down on almost a 90 degree angle then you can zip line. I thought that I would be so scared especially going feet first. It was nothing, I loved it. Chris

Good Morning Chris and the rest of IL - I actually got my golf in last night.  The ground was a bit mushy but I got thru it.  I have ran myself ragged this week trying to get things in order at work and home since we are leaving tomorrow morning for vacation.  I still have too much to do.  I'm convinced that there is just not enough time in the day. Well, I got some disappointing news yesterday.  I was not the successful candidate for the position I had interviewed for.  It really brought me down but you know what?  That's their loss.  It is what it is. So, we have several people having surgery today and tomorrow.  Wishing you all the very best.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to check in tomorrow morning.  We will be leaving early for NC.  So if I don't talk to ya, have a great weekend and a wonderful July 4th week.  I will be back on Sunday, July 8^th and we will be bringing back my 17yr old step-daughter.  She will be spending the month of July with us.  I'm looking forward to her visit.  This summer will be different then the past, I can physically do so much more this year.  It should be fun. Take care everyone, Christina

Christina, Have a great time, and enjoy your time off work.  Sorry to hear you weren't a candidate for the job. I know how much you wanted the new job   

So sorry to hear about the job.  But there must be a better one out there just waiting for you.  Hang in there.   Have a great and safe trip. Shelley

Christina,  & . Yes, you are right it is their loss. In God's time you will find something else. Read Jerimiah 29 11-13, this is my life's verses.  Mercy journeys to you and your family as you go for your R & R. Smooches, Christine

Got to go clothes dryer shopping today.  since surgery my TV has had to be replaced and now the clothes dryer.  I'm gonna have to work overtime when I get back to work just to pay for everything that's gone to pot since I've been off work!! LOL!!  Have to get my daughters baseball uniform washed and out to parents to dry in time for her game tonight.  Otherwise taking it easy.  So enjoying my time off work.  Almost wish I could be a stay at home Mom.
