Friday - WLS EXPRESS

Morning!!! So...rain again in Blooming Grove?  Hmmmm.....just think how the flowers will bloom once the rains are over.      Gotta find that silver lining!!  Enjoy your sewing projects.  What are you making?    No word yet on the potential buyers.  I'm guessing this means they chose another property.  Oh well...they missed out is all I have to say!!!  But, there is a family out there that is meant to have this house.  I just wish they would hurry up and buy it!!  This waiting is KILLING me!!!  lol Have a good weekend.  Hope it dries out for you a bit and you get to see the sunshine!!  

Sara,  After having 4 kids, that is so not TMI.  Of course, the guys may not feel that way about it.  LOL  Keep us posted on how she's doing.  Hope to hear there are puppies soon!!! Thanks for the chat this morning.  That was fun.  We need to do that more!!

SARA GIRL!  You crack me up!!!  Hate to be cackling at work..everyone wants to know what i'm reading..

Are you and hubby and the other couples still planning to head down this way in a couple weeks?  Let me know..

Hugs

 

Good morning TMB!!!!! David requested sunshine, so here it is!!!              Hope that helps everyone who is having dark skies and more of the wet stuff.  So far the skies are bright, blue and beautiful in the Coastal Bend.  Probably won't last long as we've been getting rain daily, but I'm enjoying it while it's here.   The countdown is on.  My hubby called and said he will be home WEDNESDAY!!!  That's 4 days and a wakeup!!  The cool part is the house is so darn clean I don't have to do a thing to get the house ready for his homecoming.  Just have to make a trip to HEB to stock up on some of his favorite snacks and drinks and maybe stuff for a couple of his favorite meals.   Have a great day everyone!!  MAKE GOOD CHOICES!!!!!

Good morning everyone, it has been a while since I posted here. My surgery is coming up in a few days and I am starting to get a little nervous / excited. Any last minute advice would be welcome, especially for the clear liquid diet. I'm having a hard time thinking of creative things to try after surgery. I did get some good news yesterday, since I am self-paying for my surgery, the hospital has discounted the surgery even more than what my Dr. said it would be!!! Thats always a good thing.

Congratulations on the upcoming surgery! And you wouldn't be normal if you weren't nervous/excited/anxious and every other emotion on the chart all rolled into one! LOL Hang in there and it'll all be over before you know it! As for the clear liquid diet, I survived on alot of low sodium chicken broth, SF popsicles and SF jello.... but I was only on clear liquids for a few days.... then on to full liquids.... so I got to add in cream soups, runny oatmeal and runny mashed potatoes......  Hugs,

Welcome back Cameron!!!  Glad to see you riding the train with us today!! CONGRATS on the surgery cost being even lower than you anticipated.  That's always GREAT news!!  Wish I had some suggestions for the clear liquid diet, but I don't really.  I only had to do clear liquids when I was in the hospital so they made those decisions for me.  I remember broth being the main thing on the menu.  Once I went home, I had moved up to full liquids and that has a bigger better variety.   Hope all goes well withyour surgery!!  Will keep you in my prayers!!

Congrats about the upcoming surgery! My favorite thing was to take chicken noodle soup, drain the noodles out and drink the broth. Regular chicken broth tastes bad but this had the added fat and salt in- sure, not the healthiest, but certainly more palitable. I was on clear liquids more than a few days because of complications- for 2 weeks to be exact. So I ate ALOT of chicken broth.  Good luck and congrats on it being cheaper that originally thought! Now you can buy more clothes later down the road!

Good Morning, All You Beautiful  Losers!!!  How the hell are ya??? Yesterday was a productive day for me!!  I went in to Austin to buy my text books and supplies for my class that starts on Monday.  And then I went to the uniform shop to order my scrubs and lab coat.  Then I looked at shoes and cool nursey-type stuff like a stethoscope and bandage scissors. Then I went to 7-11 for the Crystal Light Slurpee and the machine was BROKEN!!!!  Darn it - so I went to Starbuck's instead and got a Mocha Frap Light.  Yummy!!   The last stop was WalMart.  One of Emily's fish died the other night, so I bought 2 new ones to replace it.  They are called Glofish - genetically altered Danios that glow in the dark - WAY COOL!!! When I got home, Mel's Crockpot Ribs were almost done and the house smelled YUM-O!!  They were delish, let me tell you!!  They are just what I need to survive on the PB plan.  Today is day 3 and the scale is already down 2 pounds!! So far, it hasn't rained today!!  We are gonna try to get to the pool when Janet gets back from getting her haircut!!  YIPPEE!!            David - Happy Birthday to Matthew!!    Sherry - Good luck with your FMLA.  I sure hope that you get all the time off that you need for your surgery.  I've got my fingers crossed for ya!!  Congrats to your DD on her pregnancy!!    Gina - GET'R done and then you can go on VACATION!!  Sorry that you succumbed to the cookies yesterday!!  At least you didn't oversleep by 30 minutes!!    Karen - Happy Friday!!  I LOVE "Jack and Diane!!"    Alissa - I am so sorry that you are having trouble with Chris' moods, behavior, and meds.  I hope the ER works out for you and that the insurance quits jerking your chain!!    Tanya - Happy Sweet 16th Birthday to your daughter!!    Stephanie G. - I hope that you get your BP under control before your surgery.    Sherra - STREP???  You poor thing!    Laura - Good luck getting your mom's web page up and running!!  What a good daughter you are!!    Donna - Hi!!    Tracey - Have a good day at work!!    Debbi - Sorry you are feeling tired.  I'm with the others, it's probably low iron.  Congrats on getting your DH registered for school!!  Enjoy the coffee group!!     Sara - LMAO at the manual palpitation!!  Hope those puppies come soon!!    Alice - Have you seen "Evan Almighty" yet?  I think we all need to go see it!!    Susan - Just 4 days 'til you get some Navy Man Lovin'!!  Woohoo!!      Cameron - Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!  I found chicken broth and hot tea to be the best for me.  When do we get to see your handome face??    Donna K. - Happy Friday back at ya!!  Enjoy bible study!    Prayers going out to all those in need and love to ALL!!

Good afternoon Sharyn!!! You are where I want to be in about 1.5 years.  I finally decided that I want to be a nurse when I grow up.  Only took me till I was almost 40 to decide.  Hmmmm...wonder how old I'll be when I'm finally grown up?  Do NOT answer that question......  Anyway....congrats on getting to go get all your "nursey" stuff!!  Sounds like lots of fun.   Congrats on the pounds gone!!  Keep it up!  You are doing great on PB!!  You can do it!! Enjoy the pool this afternoon!!!  Sounds like a lot of fun!!
