I was so happy today when I learned that I do not have to be on call this whole week and I have the three day weekend off! The only bad thing is that PB will not be around because he is going out of state for his mother's birthday. Boo-hoo.
Got my hair cut and colored tonight, so all in all it was a pretty good day.
Enjoying some wonderful peaches and apricots this week. It's always a treat when they are in season.

damnit- i'm wearing myself out riding them!
601.6mi so far, might as well shoot for 700 by the end of thursday1 -
A banner day for us. My husband put his signature on his acceptance letter to TAMU and we both signed a lease on a fabulous home
Fantastic!!!!! But you know we need pictures.
Enjoy reading everyone's posts, just not knowing what to say that hasn't already been said.
Got my partial plate today. Feels really weird to have something on the roof of my mouth. It is a flexible one so as my lower teeth hit it, it bends it a bit. I did practice eating from both sides and the front of my mouth and i must say it is nice. But I will have to continue to have to remember not to eat just on the right side of my mouth. This one doesn't have the metal clamps that grasp the teeth. The clamps look just like my gum. I tried to eat some tostitos and I jsut didn't like how it felt around my teeth and the roof of my mouth.. But I will get used to it.

Did 10 minute of 10 Minute Solution Butt Lift DVD, held my plank for 2 min 50 sec then about 50 minutes of the extremepump class (have I mentioned how I wish they'd start on time?). The plan for tomorrow is to do Kelley Coffee Meyers Body Shop DVD. We shall see how that one goes.
Karen in VA - actually, sometimes it's really a good thing to "shock" your body and go over on calories one day. As long as you get back to healthy eating (and I know you will) the next day. I think we all have those times -- I know that I do!
That tomato reminded me of when I was a kid and stayed with my aunt who lived on a farm. We'd go out to the farm, pick a tomato (still warm from the sun) and just eat it. Actually, that year I remember I ate so many tomatoes that I, literally, got sick. But were they ever good!
NCRawGirl - welcome!! What part of NC are you in? There seem to be quite a few of us NC'ers here.
Cheri - what a nice surprise! Is it very humid where you are? Was it humid where you were in FL?
DJ - I keep getting some sort of message from MFP that there was a break or something. But then I refresh the page and everything's fine. Go figure!
Marcelyn - here's hoping for the best for you
Jean - welcome! Sounds like you're off to a great start!
DJ - no, I didn't make guacamole with the avocado. I put it in a plastic bag and am having it in my salad. I usually have a salad each day with different (usually what I want to use up) things in it. Today's had spinach, avocado, black beans, celery, beets. Just a mixture of whatever I have that I want to use up.
Cheri - that's wonderful about your husband!
Exercised, went to senior bowling (worked on my handicap), home for dinner, ceramics (working on the seaturtle right now), then mahjongg. Tomorrow we need to cut the grass

Chris enjoy the time off the way you talked you need the time.
Relaxing night except some laundry getting done. Was going to hit the ground running but guess I did not realize how tired I am from this past weekend. Start fresh again tomorrow.
Anne from Wisconsin1 -
Thanks everyone for all your well wishes. I'm sharing them all with hubs. He's happy I have all of you to share this journey.

This is the home we are renting. It's in College Station, Texas. It's a 3 bed-2 bath house. We are significantly downsizing. We will be populating Craigslist with items for sale in the weeks to come.

Re: Count me in for those crock pot recipes. I love my crock pot - all 5 of them.
Cheri - So happy that you are enjoying your time in Texas. Sounds like the job at TX A&M is going to be a great match! And just saw you signed a lease. Yea! It is a beautiful house.
Found a somewhat flat place to walk/run this morning by the lake. It was supposed to rain today so we decided to make this our shopping day. Rain held off all day. I found a new top for exercising but the girls found lots (of course). Have not been eating well because we eat out about once a day here, but hoping all the activity will keep those pounds away.
Linda, IA normally but south in MO today

Popping in between business trips. Got home from Indiana Sunday night. Leaving for Washington state Tuesday AM. So today was all about laundry, mail, and all kinds of catching up. Took me two evenings to read all 400+ posts I missed last week. Whew!
Seattle and Tacoma ladies...message me if you want to get together. It was confirmed today that I'll have some large blocks of time free through Thursday afternoon. Then I'll meeting folks in the Olympic peninsula, Whidbey Island and Monroe before coming back on Sunday.
Sounds like many of you have lots to celebrate. I'm doing a happy dance for Cheri, Beth, Allie and Anne. Thoughts going out to Barbie and Jake, Heather, Becca, Joyce, Chris and all others who feel a bit down or stressed.
Pip...keep on peddling! Yes, 700 sounds like a good number.
Okay, I'm bushed. Off to bed. Stay well. We can do this.

Cheri, love your house. It looks rather new or at least the landscaping does. have fun in your new step.
Count me in on those crock pot recipes. Just post them on here!
Well another ostomy bag fail tonight, one yesterday and another today. It's his belly button that seems to be the problem.
My partial sure is weird. Since it is flexible, I can put my tongue on it and push up. I hope i don't develope a nervous habit of doing that. I want to eventually not feel this thing in my mouth at all. But the whole time I was having to clean Charlie up, quickly get a new bag ready, get it on and try to not involve the belly button in it, then clean me up so that I can pack his belly wound, I was real tense. Mainly because I don't know what I am doing wrong and it frustrates me to no end. I was an ostomy nurse in the 70'2. I should know how to do this. But my experience was in the hospital, not in home care. I only saw them in those 7 days they were in the hospital after surgery. This is different. All that belly swelling is down, they are pooping right. I'm lost now.

morning ladies~
well got 9 hrs of sleep and boy did I need it...yesterday was just a crazy day at work, it was extractions and crown and bridge preps and very very tiring..
I got my 300.00 credit card from UTC Good health incentives.. and I stashed it away.. Tom started getting nasty saying that I use mine for stupid stuff and he uses his for bills and stuff, I was tired and didnt want to hear it, so I gave in and gave it to him so he would shut up about it..I will not try for one next year if this is going to happen..
working 9-6 today so will,go take a shower ,make my lunch, Toms dinner and lunch,and take the dogs for a walk..0 -
Allison...Tom is such a bully. My heart goes out to you.
Chris in MA1 -
Joyce If Charlie was in the hospital and you were his ostomy nurse, how would you go about things? Perhaps you would apply the bag to the skin near the belly button first so you had control of that problem area right away, or you would lay out your supplies in a certain order to better accomplish your goal, or pack the belly wound first...I am NOT an ostomy nurse, but you are, and I'll bet my crowns you are a damned good one!! It is really hard to take care of your loved one's wounds, especially when they can't or won't take any responsibility for it. I know from packing my son's pilonidal cyst wound and caring for it when it got infected that when it involves your family it unnerves you. And that was small potatoes compared to what you do. Don't bite your new dental appliance in half. Pretend you are seeing a patient in the hospital. YOU GOT THIS!!!
I love you.
Alison I used to do stuff like that when I was married to my first husband Rick who is now a good friend of mine, believe it or not. When he was engaged to be married again he asked me how I used to handle situations like that in our marriage...a dynamic he had not previously even acknowledged...I told him I learned to give in and shut up. Then I asked him why he wanted to talk about this now, when it was too late...and he said, "because SHE won't shut up about it, and I guess if 2 women are telling me the same thing, maybe it's me and not the 2 women." I almost fell over.

Rori, I am so disappointed that I'll be in Seattle and on the Olympic Peninsula at the time you'll be here and won't get to see you. I hope someone else will find a way to meet up with you. I have your phone number in case some time opens up.Cheri, your house looks great. We have downsized and cleared clutter on several different moves and it was a very satisfying and spiritual experience.Alison, I'm sorry to hear that you let Tom bully you into turning that money over to him. You are a smart woman and would have used the money wisely. We are packed except for the last minute stuff. We'll leave for Seattle after dropping the pets off at their boarding places. We'll feel safer getting there earlier in the day so we can settle in and be in bed early to get up early for Jake's 5:30 AM check in for his surgery tomorrow. Barbie from beautiful NW Washington 1 -
Barbie Jake's surgery date snuck up on me! Safe travels, thinking of you and sending thoughts for a successful procedure and excellent recovery to Jake.

Barbie~ safe travels to you and Jake.. will keep Jake in my prayer's for successful surgery and recovery and you for peace on the drive to and from the hospital.. Love ya lots....
My brother bought me a moose bird house for my birthday.. its adorable, dont know if I will be allowed to hang it on a tree here though

Good morning all! Happy Tuesday! I have been good so far by getting in my morning walks with my early bird girl. I have been trying to ride my bike and do a trail hike each night. Not sure if I am up to it for today. We will see how my day pans out. Woke up with sore feet. Maybe just a ride and skip the hike??
Yea! Cheri- congrats on the signing of papers! Job and home! I am curious, it seems that homes in Texas and perhaps the entire Western U.S. don't have basements. Are basements more of a midwestern thing? Why no basements in the region where tornadoes, twisters, etc are so prevalent? I guess I will throw that question out there for all of you Texans!
Barbie- Thinking of you and sending best wishes/prayers for a safe trip, successful surgery and complete recovery for Jake. Peace to you both!
Well, my other kiddos are beginning to arrive; but I wanted to share an article with you by the Grand River Times. GRT is a local satirical online newspaper. They have written really funny articles that many residents, not knowing that they are satirical, have gotten up in arms about such as our local (but very popular) pizza parlor being bought out by Pizza Hut or another local beach hot spot, Pronto Pups (a little two man snack shack since the 1950's) being relocated from it's prominent spot on the boardwalk to the middle of a beach in Muskegon, by a derecho that hit the area recently. Anyway, Grand Haven is a very "white bread" kind of town. Very conservative, not much ethnic diversity, 3/4 of the local businesses are either churches or banks...that said, this latest article created quite the firestorm! We have a bed and breakfast here, that has been around since the 50's or earlier. It is called Kardomah Lodge. Apparently they are under new management!
Enjoy! http://grandrivertimes.net/kama-sutra-lodge-grand-haven/ 2
