Saturday Roll Call

Hi everyone! The Starry NIght party was fun, but a wig gets tight after a whole evening. My colleagues almost didn't recognize me! I really can't believe I did it. It is so out of character. I even dug out my charm bracelet which I got for my 10th birthday which really was in the 50's!

Today I think I might go to the knitting shop and knit. We'll see how it goes. Nothing else is really planned.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning Connie and the whole Illinois board. Yesterday ended up being very busy for us, besides the usual Friday things, we went and had passport photos done, and then went to the post office and applied for those. We were told it will only take 3 to 4 weeks to receive. I was figuring on a few months at least. Today, I am out the door in a few to meet a friend for breakfast. Not sure what I will have, but I know it won't be pancakes or french toast. Then home, and I want to work on my rug again, and maybe give the small bathroom a super cleaning. Also want to spend some time on the gazell. Connie, It sounds like you had a blast from the past last night. Pictures please. We are getting some snow flakes   I thought it would be nice again today. I was able to spend some time outside yesterday, just enjoying the sun.  Hugs to all Lisa

Good morning Connie and Lisa! It's a bit gloomy out there this morning...actually looks like rain. Sounds like you had fun at the Starry Night party. Not much planned for today...have a great day everyone!

Good afternoon. Its gloomy here also. Rainning today. I wanted to go on a walk but I guess ill have to keep it indoors today. hope everyone is haveing an awsome weekend.

Hello everyone. Well today is the first day of my liquids diet and I had a half cup of cottage cheese for breakfast and a sugar free popsicle for lunch. I had some soda and man, am I hungry. It hurts. But I think I can do it.

I just keep reminding myself of the prize at hand. I can't wait until I am on the losers bench and able to do the things that I want to do so badly but just cannot right now. Six flags MIGHT be a possibility next year, that excites me, hurricane harbor. I get so happy thinking about it all. Hiking, biking, ice skating this winter, walks through the park with my DH at night, picnics ooooh the possibilities.

So other than that nothing much, just trying to take my mind off the hunger pains.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Hi Jackie -  Not trying to upset you but is cottage cheese and soda on your liquid diet?  You may want to check the guidelines they layed out for you.  I was off carbonated bev for six mo before my surgery and I know another gal that almost got her surgery canceld because she was drinking soda.  But of course, every surgeon is different so I probably should shut my mouth.  I just don't you to go thru this only to have your surgery post poned because that is devastating.   You will be doing all those things your dreaming about before you know it!  It's an amazing journey.

Hi Il~ I am getting down and cleaning real good this morning.  Then I am going to take Maddie to the movies later.  After we get home from the show, I want to work on some scrapbooking and making some cards.  Everyone have a great day!

Good afternoon everyone - I'm tired.  I did not get home  until 1:30 this morning from work.  We got slammed around 10 with some really large parties.  Imagine the look on my face when 70 people walked in at the same time.  I had a table to 30 kids.  Yea.. they sucked.  Did not get much of a tip out of them although they were very demanding.  .  Oh well, you have to take the good w/ the bad.  I just got up only to find  message from my boss at my day job as to working this weekend.  Geez.. why did he not leave a message last night when I asked him to?? I would not of slept all morning but I really needed it.  I have to run to Linens N Things then back to work at the restaruant.  I guess tomorrow I will have to work both jobs. Have a good weekend IL.  I took all of next weekend off so I'm excited to be able to get some rest and spend my time w/ Calvin and Amanda. Christina

Christina, Boy do I know the feeling of getting screwed out of a tip!  That's why I had to hang my apron up at Red Lobster.  I just got sick and tired of getting screwed!  Then I took it personal and I shouldn't have.  The clientel is not the best in Rockford.  I am glad you are off next weekend.  How is Calvin doing w/ the band?  How much weight has he lost?  I have been thinking of you guys!  Take care and talk to ya later!
