Tuesday

Hello,... how are you all doing today? I hope everyone's well. Not too much is going on here. Just finishing breakfast (boiled egg whites from Easter), and getting read to start my day. I'm going to be working today at the high school, but then going back into the office for the afternoon. I don't have to work tonight though, at Sears. WooHoo! I should try to get back to the Y tonight,... get some walking or swimming in.  Have a great day,

Back to work I go. The double yesterday wasn't so bad. Friday is my preop testing. What does that all intale? Just curious what to expect. Just thought I would say hi. Nothing else happening here. Time to check ebay before I get ready for work! Shanna

I have all the testing explained on my June  06  post on my profile.  

Good morning all! At work today. I have to call on my volunteers today to get a couple shifts filled for this week.  Other then that nothing much going on.  I need some ideas for what to bring to the clothing exchange. Does anyone have any?  I thought about some sort of bean dip and some baked tortilla chips but I dont have any recipes for bean dip...does anyone here have any?

Hey Jenny..I keep things pretty simple when converting recipes to a healthier lifestyle. For bean dip, I prefer to use the canned Hormel turkey chili & melt some Velveta light into it. The full fat version is just regular canned chili & regular Velveta.  I know I plan on making my sugar-free peanut butter rice crispie treats with dark chocolate topping. I'm thinking about also making some pulled pork. That was one of the first meats that was pouch friendly for me..and continues to be so. I'm still debateing on that one though.... Sherri

Good morning! I'm fixing to go to the dentist. Oh joy! My 'filling' last week had to be converted to a root canal and they didn't have time to do it then..so here we go getting all numbed up again. With my allergies, it definately makes me a little anxious. On the plus side..while getting ready, enough of my swelling had gone down that I was able to wear my largest jeans! Woo-hoo! I haven't been able to wear jeans since Sept. 23rd! They are real baggy in the legs (from the thigh lift) but I don't care! Oh..had to call Dr.. Begman's office yesterday. On Sunday, where the 'T' of the incisions are started draining fluids BIG-TIME. She wants me to come in tomorrow morning so she can be sure it isn't getting infected or anything. I think the fluid has been taking some of the swelling away with it. Hard for me to complain about that! LOL! I hope everyone has a good day today. I know in about an hour, I'll be numb and slobbering for the rest of the day!  Sherri

Good morning everyone! I'm hoping to find something out today as far my labs I had done Friday. I went yesterday to pick up copies of them and they weren't back yet. She seemed to think the Pre-albumin was holding things up. I'm sooo sleepy today. I managed to stay up most the day yesterday with just 1 nap but I don't know how well it's going to work today. I can't hardly keep my eyes open right now and I been up for a lil bit. Other than being wore out and just exhausted and tired all the time I'm feeling decent for the most part.

Hi everyone,  Getting ready to go watch the twins today so thought I'd check in. Yesturday was DH birthday and Amy fixed him/us dinner- all of his favorites! Beef roast with potatoes, green beans,rolls, and for dessert, pineapple upside down cake- guess where she learned to cook-???RIGHT, me!!! It was really nice and we spent the evening visiting.  The babies are sure growing and changing- plus all 3 older boys are going to play baseball this summer- so we will be busy going to the games! Can you believe they have them practice in this weather in SHORTS!!!BURR!!!Don't know about you all, but I am freezing today! And to think it's Spring!!!   I hope to get to the Clothing Exchange this time. So far nothing is going on that weekend. I don't really need much but love to visit everyone!!! Got to go, have a great day everyone!!!! (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) Ellen

Good afternoon, all. I hope that this finds everyone happy and healthy today. Bill and I are doing pretty good. Can't complain but then again no one listens anyway so what is the use.   Spent the morning at the office today. I am kind of going to be glad when this week is over and I can get up in the morning when I want and not when the clock goes off. I was kind of busy this morning. I had to make up the programs for the memorial service we are having this week. I got a copy of the sunday bulletin and so I got that going. I had some problems with the copier and had to call for a visit and low and behold someone was in Valparaiso and so they got there right away. The company is in South Bend and so we usually have to wait for the apointment. A couple of sensors went out and so they have to order them.  I have to go to Walgreens this afternoon to get some of my scripts. I hate going there because I usually end up shopping and getting stuff I don't really need. I like to look around Walgreens for some reason.  I have to go to Bill's cousins house this evening and do the tax forms for her and a couple of others. They are on Social Security and don't usually file but they have to this year for the rebate checks that are going to be mailed out. I only have to do the 1040EZ forms so that is going to take no time at all. I still haven't done our state taxes yet and Bill is after me to that. I am going to have to start on them because time is flying by and before you know it they are going to be due. I am usually never this late on them. For some reason I hate doing the state one worse than anything.  I guess I better get going. Time is going by and then there is me who is just sitting thinking that I am going to have all the time in the world. I have to stop at the store and get some gravy since I am making Bill one of his favorites - beef and noodles. He is mad about them.  Hope that everyone has a good evening. I will try to check in later to see what is going on. Love and hugs to all.
