It's Tuesday, Cinco De Mayo. Que Pasa? (What's going on)
Good morning to you, George. I am so glad that your son is now among the employed. That takes a lot off his mind and I am sure yours and Mary's too. Was it one of the interviews that you were talking about yesterday morning that he had such a good feeling about?
Nothing much is going on here today. I had a lot of pain yesterday so I did nothing at all....no I take that back.....I slept a lot during yesterday. Today is better and so I am going to the grocery to get some bottled water. I am in desperate need of some....that is the only bad thing about the bottled water.....you have to go farther than your kitchen faucet. ha ha I ran out a while back and Bill had a fit....and to be honest so did I. Neither one of us like the water from the faucets anymore. The taste with that stuff is awful if you ask either one of us.
I really need to work some on the church cookbook while I am down for now. I haven't done anything with it and I should hang my head in shame......but I am not in the mood to do that so I think I will just do some work on it. ha ha
It is a church cookbook and a lot of people from church has sent in a lot of their recipes and it is going to be a wonderful book. We did one a long time ago and it turned out nice but this one is going to be much nicer. I am even having a section with the name of something like Recipes from heaven for those of church that has passed on. I thought that would be something special. Heaven only knows that in the past 6 months we lost 5 members and so they should be part of it just as all the others that have passed on. I enjoy doing this but you wouldn't know it with as little work I have put into it recently.
I better get to moving. I am going to take a shower this morning and wash my hair. I am doing it by myself with no help from Bill. I can do it all on my own so that makes me a big girl I guess. I am sending love and hugs to all along with prayers for everyone too. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to smile at everyone.....your smile might be the only enjoyment that they get in their life.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Isn't it much better to take a shower with Bill's help? At least more fun 
I bought a cookbook from my mother's church. They always have such homey recipes, tried and true. I like your idea of using those recipes from people who have passed on. I have recipe's from my grandma and aunts that are really just the best!
How about adding crystal lite to the tap water? It just bugs me so much to pay for water...
Taco's for dinner tonight. Yum

Brenda,
I use a Brita water filter for my water. The one I have was a gift, but it's only about $12. It sits on my counter and I use it for everything: water bottle, coffee, soups, vegetables, etc. I refuse to pay the price of bottled water. Maybe some such thing will remove the odd taste from your water?

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press
on to your destination.
on to your destination.
Hello everybody,
We are in Virginia. What a nasty drive through rain and fog!
It is good to see my family again. Travis towers over me, still not too big for grandma hugs. Lindsay, our smiling girl in pink. what a sweetheart.
Anne-Marie has an entire folder of instructions for me. The same daughter who always accused me of being overly protective and worrying too much. Her hubby said make sure they eat, go to school & go to bed.
We are heading out so I can see where to go for music lessons, band practice, baseball events - all sorts of necessary transports. The shopping areas are EASY. We do that every time.
I will try to squeeze in time to check in, probably not until later or tomorrow.
Kisses
Annette

morning george and OFF....
chilly day here but going to be near 70 soon...looks kind of like rain also....hummm not sure what today will bring.
i am off today and tomorrow and thats a good thing...i need a break from there big time. seems like i am the only one that works in food court that cares how clean it is. i wish i had the authority to fire this old woman that works in the mornings. sighs
going to scrub carpet today seeing as i am here alone right now. also need to color my hair. it needs it big time!! so many grey hairs popping up now...grrrr
saw gas was up to $2.29 here and i did find it for $2.01 and filled it up. couldn't afford a full tank but oh well...if prices are going up again i guess i needed to fill it up while it was cheaper.
got my blood test results back. everything is coming up into the normal range. need only to take folic and get it up more. wooohoooo!!! the optisource vitamins work!!!! costs me $28.00 a month but i guess its worth it. need to get more soon. have a couple days left of them. come on pay day!!! also i need to repeat blood test in 3 months.
pool is all filled up now and looks so inviting....but not for me until it warms up ALOT!!! can't handle that cold water!!!
ok time to scoot...have a great day!!!
Aloha OFF sibs....George, what wonderful news about your son getting a job! This is NOT an easy time to do that. And, Paula, I can't even imagine what is going through your mind right now. Your life is running smoothly and then the rug gets pulled out from under. I wish for things to turn out even better than before for you.
It's the wee hours of the morning here in Hawaii....and I'm all showered and ready to go to the hospital to test "my babies." It's always exciting for me driving there wondering how many little ones were born yesterday. Last week I think I had 8 on my day.......and it took me about 3 hours to get through testing and computer work.
Tonight I'm going to a WLS support group led by my friend who just had surgery last week to unkink her intestines! I don't know how she is doing it....but she's driving about 15 miles to the meeting with five pukas in her belly and rearranged insides! I think maybe she's doing too much too soon. But, I want to be there to support her. She was the one who picked me up from the Maui airport when I came back from having my tummy tuck in December. Glad to return the favor.
Margo mentions the crazy world we are living in now, AND the changes in our bodies as we age. Sometimes I try to ignore the changes in my body, but almost ALL of my friends are having some kind of age related pain/growths/disorders etc. and it's hard to pretend that it's not from getting older. In my mind I'm about 40......and 40 year olds don't have aches and pains in bones, head, back, etc. etc. I refuse to get into complaining about aches and pains unless they are serious...to me, that just ANOTHER thing people do when they get OLD! Ha!
Anyhoo......I'd better get going. Babies await!! I hope those of you stuggling with something find answers or relief today or soon. And I hope something today makes you laugh from your gut!!!
