What's New Tuesday Revue
judy...what would help to push your mom over the indecision about coming here??
you have been missed when you are not on and we cannot always call out everyone by name--we would always leave out someone by accident!!!!!
your frustrations are coming thru loud and clear and a vacation IS needed--but judy--thanksgiving weekend is really a more important retail time than Christmas eve!!! and they know how smoothly you run the food court vs the "new cashiers" etc...i know you don't want to hear that--believe me i know!!!!!!!!! having managed retail; i see their point but it does suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sending you a special hug!!!!!!!!!!!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Morning all.
Nothing happening here today...at least nothing that I am aware of. Planning on staying home yet another day...I have become a stay at home but right now that is how I like it. I never thought that would happen but the older I get the better I like it. haha
It is suppose to get to about 57 today and the sun is suppose to come out this afternoon but for now it is cloudy and sprinkles of rain now and then. I hope that the sun comes out since that helps make the day more passable.
I am going now...I have nothing to say...OMG did anyone ever think that would happen? ME! at a loss for words? Unbelievable.
I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone too. Have a good day and smile a big beautiful smile for someone.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Good Morning Margo & dear Friends,
Seems like another day of living where all sorts of happenings are going on in one another's lives, some good, a lot of not great things too and I really feel as though I'm watching people's moods shift, as the time change has from my vantage point made us see things through a different filter. I send my prayers, positive thoughts and hugs to all who've had to deal with tough life issues and truly hope that things look brighter tomorrow, that whatever ailments are being suffered are able to be survived and life enjoyed regardless of those ailments and I pray that one day when I am suffering some sort of illness that I can try to be hopeful that better days will be had. I hate when my friends have things going on in their lives and I have no meaningful words to offer, no immediate way to heal them, but what I can and try to do, as we all do, is offer one another support when life seems like it is dragging us down. . .
Oh well, I am having a peaceful day here, trying to make the best of being at the workplace, work is caught up for the moment, so gives me time to visit with all of you. Looking forward to meeting up with a couple of friends from my local WLS support group for dinner tonight, two women who had their surgeries at the same facility I had mine, one had her surgery in the same month as me, the other about 9 months ahead, we've made fast friends and since we have busy lives, try to get together every couple of months for dinner or something.
Bowling was fun last night, I bowled a 76, 78 and 100, woo hoo (lol), it is fun and at least I am a little more consistent and am figuring out how I need to play to get better at it.
Well now I'm the one who has gone on and on and I will say goodbye and have a wonderful day, some of it is simply about the attitude we bring with us.
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Hi Everyone,
Sounds like so many have problems and some are heartbreaking. I hope everyone gets all the prayers they need. I believe that helps.
This morning my art teacher called. He husband is in the CLeveland clinic and they told her they have a set of lungs for him. He is going to be in the operation room at 11 amd today. He is also having open heart surgery at the same time. Please say a prayer for him.
Taking my oldest dog to the vet to see what we can do for him. I am not sure if it looks good. He is eating though which is probably a good sign.
Nothing else too new. Going to start my day straightening up and finishing laundry.
I fell off the eating wagon yesterday and must get back on it today. Bad bad bad.
Stay healthy everyone....

Not too much happening here. My thoughts and prayers are with those of you struggling with illness and difficulties these days.
Tomorrow is my 6 week surgiversary! I am down 42 pounds and feeling great. I really haven't had too many issues yet, but last night I ate some rather moist grilled chicken breast, and had a bit of a reaction. Foamies? Anyway, it passed and today I'm fine.
Soooo glad to have the holiday tomorrow, although I've already filled it up with errands. Car washed, shopping, etc. I'm helping give a shower for close friend's daughter this weekend. It will be fun to see my girlfriends, as we don't get together enough. The weather has been great here in Minnesota! Nice if that keeps up for a bit, but won't count on it.
Thanksgiving is still up in the air in my family. Both parents are gone now, and sibs have gone this way and that. My sister mentioned she'd like to have it, if it's fairly small, so that may happen. My husband got his surgery approved yesterday, so may get a date soon and that may enter into the T-day plan, as well. If he is on liquids, I'll probably just hang with him.
Have great days.
