Early Saturday Mornin'

Good Saturday morning all!!  I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends so far. I'm at work. Hmmm...kinda feels like I'm always here. haha
Coming in late tonight though. My nephew is having  his birthday party, so I'll be attending that. I have no clue what to get him. What do you get a kid that already has everything? hahaha He loves art so I'll probably play on that. My co worker, Heather, and I just got done taking some laps here at work, if that tells you how busy we are at 3:30 in the morning...I know we made at least 3 miles worth of laps. Had to get me some water. Sssssssssshew...
Well, just thought I'd say hello to ya'all, and everyone have a pleasant day! Take care!!

Good Morning, I think.

I've not been to bed. My mind won't settle to let me rest. My sweet niece's 4th birthday party is today. It's so amazing how quickly they grow.

I'm not doing so well emotionally soo I just don't know what else to post but I hope you all are okay.

I'm with you Misty,.. just not feeling so well. I would hope today would be better, but we'll see. I'm going to a visitation today for one of my clients at VR. She passed away Wednesday. I think that will be hard on me, but I think it's the right thing to do, because I know from experience it won't be near as hard on me, as it is on her parents.  I remember my Lucy's visitation and funeral. I got kind of angry at a friend who didn't come. He had sent word it would be too hard for him. I don't know, I mean, how could it be harder for him than for us, and we were there.

Well, I'm going to hit the showers and eat breakfast and such. I don't feel great, but I'm going to try to do the things I need to do to feel better today.

Good morning all!
I had to be at work at 7am.  I am here till 7pm.  Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary so hopefully DH takes me out to eat somewhere.  We have one of my daughters friends over tonight so it should be an interesting evening.  Nothing much else going on.  Hope everyone has a good weekend.  Sending speedy recovery wishes to all those that just had surgery.

Morning Everyone,
 I have had a hard night sleeping as well. Partly because my step-brother ,step Mom & step-sister live in the Houston area,& concern for their well fair. The pier we visited in Galveston is under water & the hotel has 8 ' of water in it! Good thing they have 33 floors!!! it is right across from the sea wall and the tourist area downtown. I am praying for everyone's safety. It sounds like we will see the rain band hit here tomorrow- so get out the raincoats & umbrellas!

Whittney- you go girl!!!! 3 miles-woo~hoo!!! Now, start taking a bottle of water with you- I always do since I got dehydrated this summer & thought I was going ot faint! Kids love anything Star Wars or gift cards! I do those sometimes & then we go together- that way they can have a day with me- hee~hee! After all, I am a big kid at heart!

Misty, Remember, God never gives us more than we can handle- just keep on doing what you need to improve your over all health & well being. I am praying for you.

Jenny- so glad your tests were all ok! Now, dress up & do something special for your Ann. You deserve it!

I am excited about my Purse Party today- I have held each purse & tried to figure out which one I like the best- & can't! They are all unique, and I just can't make up my mind! I love the opera wallets, too~ really slim lined- it would be great for traveling!

Got a cup of coffee, and trying to wake up before I get ready for the day. Sending a shout out to all of the newly post-opts- take it one sip, step, day at a time- it does get easier & better. 

I'll check in later tonight- enjoy your day everyone!
 

I woke up right on schedule for work.... IM OFF TODAY!  Ugh.  I have had a very trumatic last 24 hours but I am surviving.  My BFF called to say her grandmother fell and broke her hip.  Her kidney's shutdown and she passed away very quickly.  We are so sad for her.  69 years of marriage.  What an awesome lady!  Please pray for Brandi's family.  Brandi had WLS on 2/28/08 and is battling her pouch during the grieving. 

My stepdaughter lives in Houston Texas and only being 8 years old is scared to be in the path of Hurricane Ike.  I wish she was here.

My truck blew up on me and now needs a $2000 repair.  I am just devastated by that.  I hate dealing with automobiles.  And it just happens that I spent the last of my savings on my surgery and my daughter's wedding.  OH Well.

On the bright side,  I hit 65lbs down and I am going to see Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Luke Bryan, and Gary Allen tonight at Lucas Oil Stadium.  My son-in-law that is in Iraq bought the ticket for me online and sent it to me.  Sooo,  I do have some sunshine in my life. 

Hope you all have a great day!

Must be something in the air.  Both DH and I had restless nights.  I watched the Weather Channel and CNN most of yesterday evening and I think I got myself all worked up!  Then I had restless legs all night.  Creepy crawly!  I only get them now and again.  Not too often. 

I'm getting ready to hit the shower and go to a garage sale here in my addition.  I need to go to Aldi's---I love there large eggs that are really XL!

Ellen....I am going to try to be at your party today.  I told DH I was going and he said "do you need another purse?"  I told him I probably wouldn't buy anything (no money since I've been off work!) but wanted to come to visit.

My son's ex-neighbors, a very young couple, delivered their baby on 9/9 at 5 months along.  He weighed 1 lb 4 oz and had lung and kidney problems. Mom's body refused to keep him in any longer.  They thought he was doing better, but unfortunately they lost him Thursday evening.   The private funeral is today.  The young man is like a son to me.  This is just so hard to comprehend.  Please keep the family in prayers.  This is just another reminder to me that I'm not as bad off as I always think I am.  There's always someone else that has it much worse than I!

I'm feeling so much better with my back.  Still mid day I need to lay down to "decompress" my spine.  I'm going back to work full time on Monday, but will be able to come home to lay down at lunch and believe me I will!  It's going to be a challenge.  I think I am going to be able to go back to the gym in 2 weeks.  I sure have missed it!  I joined the same gym Ellen goes to and I think I am going to get Kathy as a personal trainer also.  I want to go in at 5:00 in the morning every weekday.  Get it over with before the day begins.  It sure does make one feel much better.  I haven't been able to really walk well or work out since my injury accident on 6/16.  So, I know I am much better because I can walk at a pretty good clip and feel good after I am done. 

Well, hope to meet some of you today at Ellen's party!

Good morning all. Not much of anything else planned for me but work today.  Hopefully it will be busy!  Other than that, nothing else is going on. 
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Take care, and ttyl.

Yeah today is Saturday.......Bella didn't want to go to sleep last night! I think she was still playing after 2:00 am. I have to be at work at 9:00 so I thought I would jump on and say hi! I will see ya at Ellen PPAARRTTYY! Are you ready for us, Girl!

xoxoxo shanna

Good morning!

Wow! I can't believe how many of you have posted already...and on a weekend day no doubt! Woo-hoo! I'm sorry that so many of you had problems sleeping. I know if it weren't for my pcp's help, I would have been up right along with you all.

For those of you suffering from IBS, I wanted to share some info about a product. It's called ALIGN. My GI suggested I try it (more or less, have tried everything else, so it couldn't hurt to try it too). I ordered it through drugstore.com and read the comments there. They were very possitive and most of them had IBS. So..if you're one of the ones with IBS, it might be worth your time to check it out.

My heart really goes out to Texas this morning. I sure wish everyone had evacuated. I know that some may not have been able to for lack of transportation, etc. But for those who had a vehicle, money, gas...for them to just stay there and not heed the warning, I just don't think I would had been so resolute. There are many things that I don't 'fear'..but highly respect..like the ocean. But Ike? If I lived in Texas, trust me, my fear would have had my butt in gear as soon as they said that it may come to my town! There is no way I would EVER want to be a storm chaser like LaChelle's passion...but I admit, it's a morbid facination of mine to watch all of this news coverage on the hurricaines. Bill asked me how I'd like to be one of the newscasters right down there in the midst of it...NO WAY, NO HOW! If God wants me to die from a hurricaine, the Global warming has to get alot worse because I'm not going to go down there and help it out.

I do hope you all have a good time at Ellen's purse party today. I will miss seeing you all. I just don't feel up to the drive. I'll be thinking about you all though.

many huggs....
