What's new Sunday?

Oh Annette,

A few years ago, hubby and I were at one of those events where his ex wife also attended and she, like your thorn, posiitioned herself right next to me.  Now, hubby divorced her in the early seventies.  They were only married for two years and yet she still harbors a grudge.  She started the bad mouthing.  I, like you, wanted to ***** slap her but instead, I simply leaned over and said, honey, your assholeness is showing.  Then I walked away.  Yep, I did.

Jeannie, I love it!!! I have done similar. I am honest to a fault.
Nan

Jeannie,
That's a good word to store for future reference. Yup, assholeness fits the bill.
Tom may not have been a model husband for her but they were only 16 years old - good grief - and she was no prize either. He has never said a bad word about her but all 3 sons have confided in me.

ASSHOLENESS! Hahaha!!! I just love you Jeanie! I have to remember that!

Oh Annette - I'm glad that you didn't *****slap (makes me laugh to type that!!) Tom's ex.   It shows that you have more class than her.  

Annette,
Tevia told me he wants to play volley Ball with Annie.    Carla

Margaret, Patience is really a lesson learned.  We all know how hard it is to wait for something we want so badly.  It will come, trust me.
Brenda, I almost envy you having so much time with Kayden.  I don't think I would be able to commit to babysitting every day.  Too much work.  I'm looking forward to the birth of Joshua.  Went to Costco and found a couple of really cute Carter outfits for only 6.49 each.  They're so cute and soft.  Can't wait to get him in them and cuddle with him.
Well, I'm almost afraid to say anything, but this morning it looks like my stall is over.  Thank goodness.  Down five pounds from yesterday, what's with that????  Ok with me tho.
This morning hubby went out and bought me breakfast in bed for my birthday...  McDonalds big breakfast!  I ate half of the scrambled eggs and a couple of bites of the sausage and threw the rest away.  I'm having trouble eating much, but I can keep down my protein shakes, so it looks like I'm going to be drinking more.  I need to get in more fluids anyway. At least I'm past my stall finally.
Gary is on his way up north with another load, including my stove.  This week we'll be living on microwaveable products and things I may be able to make in my toaster oven. 
Waiting to hear from my realtor, but it looks like closing will either be Thursday or Friday.  Margo, your sale is forthcoming.  I can feel it.  You're going to warmth, and I'm going to northern Michigan.  Made that decision before I knew I'd be cold after WLS.  Maybe we'll vacation in warmth.  We'll see.  It makes it hard to travel tho with three dogs.  My girlfriend has come to the house to babysit, but she only lives 20 miles away.  When we move it'll be more like 250 miles.  She would do it for me, but I don't know if I could afford it.  She likes to get away from her loser husband and this is a way to do it and make extra money on the side.
Right now it's only 62* and going to a high of 72* today.  This just doesn't feel like August, but it does feel like Michigan.  We never know here.  I wish I were visiting with Maui Karen right now.  I could use a little sunshine.
Take care all, and enjoy the first day of a new week.
Jan

Ya No Jan, that in this early or Honeymoon phase you will be soooo amazed at the way that weight falls off. It's after that first year, when it starts to get frustrating. Keep doing all the good & healthy things & you will be at your goal in no time flat. As for the
shakes. Are you making them with water & ice only. When you add stuff it will make
them heaver to deal with & unwanted calories. Try adding a little more water or little less, also try adding a little splenda or powdered SF pudding mix to it, that sometimes helps also. You might also try the whey blends of protein. Just a few suggestions to help
Since space is limited anyways this
early.  Your eating should only be between 4 to 6 oz. only at one meal at this point.
You should also be eating very slowly & chew, chew, chew, everything very well.
It sounds like you ate the normal amount for breakfast. Do not try & force more in or you will find out the hard way, it was too much. 

Okay Jan.  I'm deep breathing and learning patience. 

Hey.

Today I am resting. Last night, I had an asthma attack that almost landed me in the hospital.  Our neighbors were burning some stuff and I kept saying that it was awful.  Anyway, I ran to the store and was carrying in the groceries, just a few things, when I started wheezing.  I did an updraft, no improvement.  Within an hour, I went from wheezing to not getting any air in.  Rushed to the ER, they started solumedrol, called my lung man, he came in and pushed some aminophhlyin, which they rarely do these days.  I started feeling better, he gave me more breathing treatments, told me to stay in the hospital over night, I said, but I feel so much better and he sent me home with steriods and I slept like a baby.  The steroids give me a lot of energy so I will be the energizer bunny for the first two weeks of school. LOL.  Man, I hate asthma.  My mother used to pour black coffee down me and hold my face over a boiling pot with vicks in it and if that didn't work, to the hospital where they threw me under an oxygen tented bed.  Oh my have things changed. 

Well, rest today, no going outside, and hopefully I will be fine.

You guys have a good day.
