TGIF!!!!
I have a lot of clothes to go through to get ready for next weekend. I am also bringing some small containers that hold only 2 ounces. I used them when I first had my surgery and they were so handy. I was thinking that a newbie or soon to have surgery person could use them.
I hope everyone is doing well. My heart goes out to the gal whose husband threw her out. Sweetheart - get a good lawyer and take him to the cleaners.
Hugs to all - Karen
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I have lots of stuff going on, so I probably won't be online much at all this weekend. Tonight is a football game, Saturday I have to work, and then it is off to the party for the wedding couple. We are planning on staying out there....they have enough room for everyone to camp out, and that is what they are wanting, so no one has to worry about leaving..........and then on Sunday there is church, lunch at Hubers, and then back to the wedding in Jasper. Talk about a busy weekend. Good thing is, it is well worth it!
Thoughts and prayers going out to everyone in need. Prayers especially to Pamela and those having surgery so soon. I agree with Karen, take him to the cleaners......of course I am vindictive like that anyway! hehe

You only have one life to live, but if lived right, it's the only one you need!
Been at work for an hour now. Went last night and met up with 3 other previous co-workers from my old job. We laughed and had a good time. Catching up is always fun.
Leaving around 5 or 6 in the morning to head down to KY to my aunts, then will see some of you at Huber's on Sunday (cant wait).
Pamela hang in there.
Karen- Happy cleaning this weekend! That is a good idea for the 2 oz containers for someone else to use. I am sure they are handy.
LaChelle- I will see you Sunday.
Misty- I hope you are doing better with your pain and it has eased up a lot. How's the swelling?
Prayers and hugs to all!
I am getting so excited to come to the clothing exchange and meet everyone. I look so forward to reading about everyone and how you all are doing each day. I have'nt decided what dish I will bring but I have 3 or 4 options in mind.
Not much going on in my neck of the woods today, so gonna cut it short. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

33 lbs lost prior to surgery!
I am off work today, YEAH! School is out and I have a follow up appt with my surgeon on my eye surgery! Probably will be having yet another surgery! I should know by this afternoon! I still am having issues and nothing has gotten any better so in this case, time did not change, anything! Keep your fingers crossed for me and say a little prayer- for those that believe!
I hope all is going well on everyones journies! If you are struggling and are hitting a few bumps, please know that all of our journies have their own paths and sometimes this too may happen! We are here for ya and are ready to support anyone that needs it! For those just searching, keep up the research and know that many have had no complications and would do it again in a minute and feel that this is the best thing that they have ever done for themselves and are living a much healthier life! For those of you doing awesome, GREAT JOB - Keep up the great journey!
I hope to see ya at the exchange! I missed the last one and am in need of some OH socialization and some clothes!
Things here at home are going ok. Mark is working 2 jobs and we don't get to spend a bunch of time together, BUT have to make ends meet! Gotta love him, he's working his butt off! I am working and Markie is doing so well at his new school! A frsehman, I can't believe that he is in High School! He is doing awesome so far 4 A's and 2 B's thus far- I am proud of him, he has had a rough last year and a half and has come back! Thank goodness!
Hope everyone has a great day! Hugz Dawn

We stopped and got lottery tickets last night. I'm a sucker for scratch-offs. I spent $39 total ($25 cash, $14 from turning in winning tickets). $10 of that was for Mix & Match which will be drawn tonight. So..of the remaining $29...when I scratched them off, I won $68! Woo-hoo! I love it when I win more than I spend! LOL! I don't bother with the Lotto or Powerball. I NEVER win anything at all with either of them. With M&M I usually at least get a free ticket but I have won ~$30 from it in the past so I'm still willing to try it.
Linda Kay...do you have any idea what time the festivities will be down the road from you? What time do you plan on having your yard sale? Both start tomorrow (not today), right? I don't think Bill is planning on going with me but either way, we're gonna swing by and pick up Gail so she can enjoy the festivities too.
Janene...any word on when Mark is going to fly in? Would you prefer dinner before his flight arrives (~4:30) or afterwards (~7:30)? If Gail & I (and maybe Bill) are still out & about around that time, we can meet you at Indy's. Hey..someone on the SW side of town...can you post directions on how to get there from the airport for Janene? The address there is 2544 S Lynhurst Dr, 46241 if you want to Mapquest it. Anyone else want to join us?
I have to pull up the rest of my tomatoe plants that the hail destroyed last week. I did the ones in the front garden last weekend so they could be drying up (easier to bag up for the garbage man that way). Thank goodness they don't have deep or strong roots or it would be 'oh honey....'. These I can handle though. We are talking about having a LARGE garden next year. I know I want to do my herb beds a little different next year too. jee**** just turned 'fall' and I'm already talking about NEXT summer! LOL!
Bill finally got his chest x-ray done last night. The girl at the registration desk (Community East) and I got to talking and she was telling me how she lost ~30-35 lbs. As we talked, I learned that she also has PCOS so she's trying to lose to help with the symptoms. She's on glucaphage for the insulin resistance, has the tale-tell chin hairs, has messed up periods, gets cists on her ovaries...shoot, basically where I was starting ~25 years ago. I gave her one of my OH cards so I hope Frankie checks us out. She's trying to lose the wait without surgery so we talked abit about lifestyle changes. I do hope she comes on here.
You all have a good day! To think, a week from tomorrow, we get to see each other! Yay!!! Well..except for Miss Gail who will only be two days post-op from her abdoplasty & hernia repair. I know she'll have a big smile on her face then anyway!

i was only at work 3 days this week, but the other 2 days i was at st v!! and it makes for a long day, when you have to be in a car 4-5 hours!!! but i am super tired, and feeling like crap today. i think everything i****ting me at once!!! anyway... i only have 3 more days left of work, before surgery! i decided to go ahead and take the day before surgery off as well, to spend with my little girl (bentley). this weekend i am getting a haircut and playing bunco tonight, tomorrow going to a little festival, and then i havent decided if i am going to do emmaus stuff, or go to my 10 year class reunion. sunday, after church, we are having a bday party for like 5 people who have bdays in sept, and then back to work on monday. next tuesday i should be getting the phone and internet hooked up at our new house! i am excited!!!

Good mornin' Posse,
Well yessir eeeeeee bob its Friday!
yeeeeeeeeehaaaaw I got the job! Part time church secretary at the Methodist Church. NO more free gratis babysitting! I will miss the little munchkin...but I can see her WHEN I want to.
Sherri....yep just talked to Mark...I pick him up at 6:30p so probably 7:00-7:30p will be good for us. You know my cell # so call if y'all can't make it. I will mapquest the address. Hope to see y'all tomorrow night and anyone else that can make it!
Jenny...Have a safe trip to Kentucky!
y'all going to Huber's have a great time...weather looks wonderful for this weekend!
Jeannie...good luck on the job...I know what its like to be looking! PRAYERS...PRAYERS...PRAYERS are being sent up for ya!
Well. seems like I got out of my funk...but I still have a ways to go. I reckon I have to learn NOT to feel guilty about ME now...and I am NOT a doormat for the family anymore! AND that does NOT mean I am a mean b...h since I have lost weight. It really sucks to find out exactly what your family REALLY thinks of you....talk about a blow-up and an eye-opener.
Relations are still strained between my mom, sis and me...but I did contact them FIRST ...I feel like God will forgive..but you have to ask for it! So I have asked both for forgiveness...they have not..they still feel was all my fault. All over me not wanting to do something for them. So I am a mean b...h now.
OH WELL....back to sunny thoughts...
Y'all have a GREAT weekend...and make those nights ROWDY! I can't wait till Mark gets back! LOL *wink*
hugggggggggs

Lord, keep me in your will so I won't be in your way.
