Thursday Roll Call

LOL.. Monica..  I could sit and watch people all day long.  We'll have to do it together sometime.  Christina

When I was younger, much, my friends and I would go to O'Hare and sit in the international terminal and watch people.  We would make up stories about them and see who could come up with the best one!  LOL

This of course was WAY before all the security now

I will keep that in mind. We are watching the weather now to see whats going on. I prefer to go throught the week. My daughters hubby wants to go to so he wants us to go Sat. So I am hoping for rain not flood rain just rain! Karen

Good Morning Paul and the rest of my IL family

Paul, you are doing great!  I am proud of you and I know that your family is too!  28 pound in 7 weeks...woohoo!

Today I am going to stop at all the Vet offices in the area and pick up applications so I can start to fill them out and have them ready to hand in by August when I decide to get a job.  Though after yesterday I wish I had one so I could really save money and have my savings account plumped up as a back up just in case.  Things in my house are very ugly and it got so bad last night that at 10pm I walked out and took a very long walk around my very dark neighborhood!  Mike was out looking for me when I finally was near my house again and he asks me if I am okay!  I simply told him very calmly that I hate how our family has turned out.  I didn't say much else the rest of the night or this morning so far. 

Dinner for Austyn's birthday was a joke.  We discussed places that were friendly for me to eat at and he still chose Olive Garden...okay, fine I can deal with that.  We get there and he wants to order Mac and Cheese...something he could get anywhere.  I look at him and say, very calmly and quietly, "Austyn, you mean to tell me that you pick Olive Garden and you're gonna eat mac and cheese?"  Well he throws his crayon across the table and starts bawling like he's 2 and not 10.  I didn't talk for pretty much the rest of dinner.  It's like no matter what I do, I can't win around here.  I am getting depressed again and I hate it!

Okay, I"m sorry I didn't mean to go off like that.  Other than that today I have one more test to study for in Math and I am also going to try to find some new capri's for me.  all of mine are getting baggy.  :-)

Have a great day everyone!

Hi Monica, sending lots of hugs to you, Paulette

Thank you Dawn!

Good morning Paul and the Land of Lincoln,  congratulations to you Paul on your 28 # weight loss. Actually congratulations to all of you on your weight loss. Can't wait til I have surgery and am on the losers bench too and see more than a 2 lb a month weight loss. I'm trying to follow the nutritionists advice on eating more calories on a daily basis( good calories) she thinks I haven;t been eating enough and my metabolism has shut down, we'll see.  The endocrin. said my Thyroid is slow but until the biopsy in August won't start me on anything for that. I did start Xenical(RX strength) but don't know if it is working as I don't hgave any of the side effects. The nutr. didn't think it would work as my diet is very low fat, in fact she wants me to add some fat to the diet.  Very scary thing adding calories and fat...... I am using a teeny bit of olive oil in the pan with my eggbeaters in the am and today I had 2 turkey breakfast sauages too.  I'm sorry if i sounds as if I'm whining but I am so afraid I'll start gaining again and I really want this to work.    Paulette  BTW Connie, I didn't recognize you with the new avater...way to go girl!!!!!
