Sunday Roll Call

Well, it looks like we have a few sleepy heads this morning.   It is kind of gloomy with the clouds, ho hum just a 'nother gloomy Chgo November day. Whatever - Good Morning IL and all other lurkers.  How has your weekend been going? We had a really long day yesterday with errands, helping at church and then our neighbor's NovemberFest party. We did not get home until right before we needed to get there. The party was mostly outdoors. Either in their garage, on the drive, three season room or kitchen. We choose the garage and then at times not too far from the firepit.  We are still in organizing mode in our house and with in a couple of hours from now I will be done with the basement and will move onto putting my inside Christmas decorations out. So, that is my day in a nutshell. How about the rest of you? You all have fun with your families, stop in and tell the rest of us what is going on. We still have not heard from some of our regulars. You know who you are so come out, come out where ever you are. We all miss chatting with you.   Christine

Good Morning Chris and Illinois! Got that basement almost cleaned?  Yahoo!  Feels good huh? Perfect sleeping weather!  Wish I could sleep a good 5 or 6 hours!    Where is everyone?   Kim, Grandma Christina, Miss Lucy? Dawn, Monica, Kristen, Janet K.  could go on and on!    All I'm doing today is making food go to mush!   Sounds gross but if it taste good then I don't care what it looks like!   I'll let you know Martha what is good and what isn't! Have a nice day........  Pam

Good Morning Il - I posted last night but will tell ya all what we did this weekend.  Calvin and I left for Indy on Thursday evening after our workout session with Joey.  Calvin golfed with his buddies on Friday, I spent the day shopping.  Saturday we went to the Childrens Museum with the grandbabies, had a great time.  Then went to a great park, out to dinner then headed home.  I'm now trying to pull myself together so I can go get the dogs from the kennel.  They have to be picked up by noon. That's all that is going on.. We both have to work tonight. Hope you have a great day! Christina

Good morning Chris, and IL ,Well went shopping this AM,  and this Afternoon I am going to a Baby shower, other then that not much going on, Got to get so christmas shopping started soon,  Has anyone else Started yet? I love to shop but just don't know what to buy ppl any more, and with 7 grands and with all the toy recalls I am afraid to buy them anything, hope everyone as a good day and stay warm their is a chill in the air today,

I'm going home from the hospital today! I feel really great. A little sore around my belly, but not bad. I had a really sore throat, but that went away soon after they took out the NG tube. I've had some Jello, beef broth and crystal lite. I get full very quickly and can't eat all of the jello. I can't wait to be able to start exercising. I'm up and walking but very slowly right now! Mendy

Mendy you are doing so good!   Glad your going home!   Now it's time to recover! Christina,  sounds like you're having a great time!   Are you liking that workout with Joey?   He is really good at what he does!  He was telling me how he likes to get ppl on a exercise program where ppl don't get in the rut!

Hi Pam- I think it's going to work out real well.. We will be meeting w/ him once a week or every other depening upon our schedules and what he does is give us homewor****il the next workout.  It's all about being accountable for me at least.  I do get bored w/ the samo, samo workout routine so this should help.  Plus he weighs you, checks your vitals etcs.  It's all good. Hope your starting feel better. Christina

Well Good Morning Everyone,  Today is gloomy but I am starting to have little spurts of energy...Today seems better we will see.... LOL Hope everyone has a great day....

Hi everyone-it is a gloomy day out.  My w/end is as I thought it would be- not pleasant.  My husband and I are just not gelling anymore and I am tired of being spoken to like I'm a doormat.  So I basically told him that unless I see a change in his treatment of me, I see no reason to renew our lease and be stuck w/each other for another year.  He seems indifferent to what I said, so I really feel it's time to pull the plug on this party.  I deserve better in life than walking on eggshells trying  to please someone who just doesn't want to be happy.  What's really stupid is, I still care for him very much, and probably always will, but self-preservation comes first.  I am going to my grandson's b-day party in a little while so I better go apply some natural healthy looking glow and a smile-ala Avon and Maybelline!  Y'all have a great Sunday!-Hugs-Janet k

Hugs to you my friend.  I'm sorry you're going thru such a difficult time.  Some days are better then others and it sounds like right now it's pretty bad.  It does not help matters that you have been struggling with so many health issues and not being able to get the fills you need.  Maybe one evening this next week we can go to starbucks and talk.  I can't really set a day or time because corporate is in town and I really don't know how things are going to go with our new computer system.  We've been told to prepare for the worst and expect to work late if need be.  Hang in there, I'm praying that things get better for you. ((((HUGS)))) Christina
