Its Sunday and Ill start the Whats New Today from Sunny Florida
Aloha and good morning OFF family.....
Carla, thanks for getting us started. Isn't it amazing how much this "What's New" thread has taken on a life of it's own. Seems so many of us really need and want to check in often and share our lives. I think it is our connection that keeps many of us on track and feeling a shared bond so strong that we can rely on good information, support and just a much needed hug to keep us going through the rough spots.
Yesterday was a FULL one for this sister! At the hospital I was stunned to see that 13 babies had been born the day before!! I'm used to testing maybe 5 to 6 babies on a Sat. morning...so this was a major job yesterday. Thankfully, the 11 I tested were all pretty easy and didn't require me to do the difficult sophisticated test that takes a long time. One baby was so fussy that I had to hold her on my lap and rock her while testing....that was a challenge, but I got her to pass. Yippee!!
Came home exhausted from standing for five hours. I took a nap, and then it was almost time to get ready for our beach/garden party. I made chicken wings, and tried on a bunch of dresses before deciding to wear a long navy blue muu muu that was a SMALL and cute.
The party was fun. We were saying goodbye to our board president who had put in 18 years. I hadn't seen him since my surgery, and when I went to give him a hug, I got this blank look. I said, "You don't know who I am...do you." He just looked puzzled...and I told him my name, and he looked me up and down and said "Wow...you've lost a lot of weight haven't you!" That happened a couple of times during the evening with different people. One lady said..."You should have worn something long and slinky.......instead of a muu muu!" I'm not ready for long and slinky yet....still have memories of fat bod, donchaknow!
OK...it's time to put on swimsuit and sit on lanai and read the Sunday paper.
Hope you all have a lovely Easter Sunday no matter what you are doing.
