Hello, Vivacious Vixens!
Just another day with the Princess. No exciting news – just hanging out, eating protein, and logging my food. Looking forward to the beef stew, tonight, even though I have vowed to skip the bread and butter.
At least, tomorrow, I get to work from home... Yay for Jammie Day!
((((((((((((((((((((((((
DJ – Please, step away from the brownies... That is part of the hazard of cooking... that spoon always finds its way into my mouth. *sigh*
Margaret – ((Hugs!))
Suzanne – Stop by anytime... we are always here.
Barbie – Thanks for the tip – I have put the book on reserve at my local library – I will pick, it up this weekend! I am glad you can do squats – I hear they are the best exercise on earth – using all the muscles in your body from the ankles to the armpits. Pretty awesome. Someday, I, too, will be able to do them... but, not for a bit. And ROCK ON, with getting back to your pre-surgery weight. You are AWESOME!
Rori – Great Job on staying away from the “Fests” everywhere... and I know you will get back on track, lickety split.
Pip – Yay for the Bike Locker... and sitting near the boss might be a good thing... if the boss decides you look like a hard-working employee – you might get a promotion or something... Hope you have a great run this weekend!
Janet – Thanks for the endorsement! I will literally check that book out, on Saturday. Glad to hear that Florida turned out to be a healthy place for you to be! And since I am notorious for vanishing over the weekend – let me wish you a HUGE Happy Birthday, now!
Liz – glad you are feeling “normal” – or at least “normal-ish.”
Lily - *waves*
Katla – You will have to do Baby Skype or something... he is adorable. And I had no idea that dogs got diabetes... wow.
Gloria – So glad the boys are going to be able to get past this, as friends.
Lisa – YAY – press day was not a nightmare! I was a little worried about you. I feel for your Son – but it is to his credit that he will be a part of his little Princesses life. I am thinking good thoughts for them.
Heather – I suppose the food doesn’t have to be any better than average with such a marvelous mural to look at. Perhaps someday I will get to dine there. Good luck with the Menu. I have found that most carnivores will suffer through chicken, now and again... Your Chicken sounds fantastic. And I am thinking good thoughts for a qualified buyer for you... Any day now, someone who is perfect for your house will pop up and make an offer.
Allie – Sending healing thoughts. Hope you get to relax a bit while Tom is away.
Betty – You can DO it!! I recommend a trashy novel on a tablet – or some really kickin’ music while you are using the dreaded elliptical. And isn’t a little scale affirmation nice, once in a while? NSV’s are great and all – but Darn It! Seeing that number go down is beyond awesome.
KJ – My Scale has been fluctuating between 228 and 230 – up and down like a yo yo... Stupid Princess! I am just doing what I know I should do... well, except for the fried foods – but, those are behind me now... Day 2 of High Protein and Low Carbs! I am glad to hear you are feeling a little bit better, and feeling positive about getting back on task.
MountainMomma – Sorry about the freezing rain... freezing anything sounds awful, right now. Try to enjoy the wedding process, anyway... ((Hugs!))
Karen/VA – Parsnips are greatness! I was just sad I didn’t have any to put in the stew-pot this morning. And if you still have three places to choose from, that’s great. You will have to tour them a few more times in the interim – just to make sure nothing starts to slide. Have fun with the de-cluttering...
Cheri –
Carol – I feel you on the clutter... I have a lot of work to do before I can consider bringing in cleaners, too. And thanks... there is only one cure for the Puffy One... and that will be along any day, now. Yay? LOL.
Rita – Stress can bring on hives – or so I have heard. Maybe you just need to have him see a therapist. And again – feel you on the Hoarding Hubby.
NYKaren – Life is too short to ALWAYS say “No” to Pumpkin Cake... Just log it, and move on. And OH YEAH – your body has to build new blood from scratch – that has to be worth something on the calorie scale. The pint they take actually weighs a pound – that’s what the tech was talking about - but, you still get something in calorie burn, later, when your body goes to produce new blood.
Sherry – Sleep is so important – and I never get enough, either. Glad you got some rest! Hope the shot doesn’t cause you too much grief.
Joyce – Good luck with the dream of a new vanity.
Lenora – sorry about the early morning appointment – but, at least you won’t have to fight traffic.
Becca – ROFL –Bean Whisperer - that does sound wrong.... but the beans sound good!
Mary – hope you feel better, soon.
Kay – you look MARVELOUS – Happy Birthday!
((((((((((((((((((((((((
If I don’t stop in, I hope everyone has a fantastic and successful weekend!
Hugs for Everybody!!

Liz, please don't over do....give yourself time to recover from your surgery.Dr. Katie, great photo and congrats on having friends and family that don't bring cake for your birthday 2 -
Hugs for all!
Tomorrow is my last day here in VA with my daughter. Have had a wonderful time with her. Just met her new boyfriend this evening. We all went to dinner at a really good Italian place and then came home. I helped them sew some Harry Potter patches on their costumes for this weekend's Halloween party they are attending. He is a really nice fella. At this point I think he likes her much more than she for him. It's a process for her with her mental disabilities and all. She has a specific routine to her life that keeps her going and letting someone into her life is a bit of a task for her. Hopefully he will understand and support who she is and what she needs. In the meantime he has been able to introduce her to several of his friends and is getting her out more often. Will have to see where this will lead. I'm happy for her. We've been able to accomplish most all of what she needed/wanted assistance with while I am visiting. I have been able to see and visit with 2 of my adult nieces and the 5 greats between the 2 of them. Ros and I babysat at the ball field last night my 6 mos old great nephew Matthew. That was fun! My brother and his wife came into town from Suffolk and visited for a day also. Won't be back here till sometime in the Spring of next year. We are going on a mother/daughter vacation in January to Disney World. We have been planning this trip for a couple of years but with all the moving around we, she and our son have been doing we kept putting it off. Finally we are going! I so enjoyed my lunch visit with Karen and look forward to many more. Did I mention we want to retire in this area?!
Best wishes to all of you dear ladies in need of comfort, kudos to all those with accomplishments of any kind or size and prayers for all in need at this time!

Strapped my arm down and did a fast 4 miles today. Can't run but I did a good pace.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Ladies,
Katla, so glad you got internet. What a beautiful new boy. You have to be proud!!!
Janetr, glad you are enjoying your time in Florida. Enjoy your extra week!!! Way to go on getting back to eating right. So glad your rash is finally gone.
Re, I hear you on the squats. If you haven’t already, try a reverse squat where you step back rather than forward. It is much easier on the knees so worth a try. Good luck.
Liz, keep up the good work and don’t push yourself too much. Give that body time to heal. This is a marathon, not a sprint. (((Hugs)))
Gloria, how sweet of your DGS to want the prayer people to pray for his friend.
Lisa, glad the paper went out easily. I’m crossing my fingers that your son had a good meeting with his daughter.
Allie, good grief, woman, listen to your body and rest a bit. You are always going and doing for everyone so you deserve to slow down. ((((Hugs))))
Barbie, you are just doing amazing after your surgery!!! You inspire us in any and every situation.
Sherry, that is so nice to be able to get help with your glasses. Gosh they have gotten expensive.
Mary, sending healing thoughts your way. I just hate it when any of you are sick or in pain.
Kay, great picture! I love the leggings. I always seem to get black for some reason?
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
DH and I went to the county seat to vote today. SC is one of the few states that doesn’t have early voting but you can go in to vote absentee. Because of that, there is only one place in each county. My knee is slowly getting better so I’m going to try to start doing a little more exercise each day.
Sending love and good thoughts to all of you and I hope you all have a Happy and Healthy Day!
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,

Another beautiful day on the golf course. It was 86 when we finished. Also have to report that at WW weigh-in I lost 3 # this week. Two weeks, 5 #. Hope I can stay focused. Plan to do some strength training next week.
Been reading but didn't finish everything. Hope to catch up tomorrow.

Barbie: I think you handled he surgery very wisely and am glad that you're doing so well now. :flowerforyou:
Heather: You're making good progress on getting your home ready to sell. Do country properties sell better in the spring? My intuition is that they do but I've never looked it up.
Sherry in PDX: Congratulations on sleeping well. That can be the best blessing. I know that sleep is essential for my mental clarity and overall health. I wish you well with everything.
Dr. Katie: You look fabulous and happy. :bigsmile:
re: DDs' dog was hit purposely by someone driving a big pickup several years ago. He had serious bruises throughout his body. We've always thought that this accident was the likely cause of his developing diabetes. His pancreas was among the organs that were damaged. :mad:
Liz: Take good care of yourself and be patient with the healing process. (((HUGS)))
I'm enjoying my new grandson but starting to get homesick. DH is remodeling our downstairs storage space that is under the stairs. He's putting a new access door into it. He's doing a good job filling in with things to do while I'm away. Tomorrow I hope to do some laundry. I'm out of clean things to wear. I'll drop in here when I can.

Katla - Yes, this is not the best time of year to sell.
How much longer will you be at your daughter's? However much you love people, grandchildren can be exhausting and other people's regimes and demands are energy sapping. You have done brilliantly. I never forgave my mother for not coming for my second baby. Your DH sounds as if he is doing a great job. :flowerforyou:
Pip - We are all cheering you on this weekend.
I'm sure it will go much better than you think. :flowerforyou:
Mary - I am worried about your pain. Sounds awful. Have you had it checked out?
Well, folks, I am awake. :sad: Too many house thoughts.
I just decided in the end to get up and talk to you instead of tossing and turning. All will be well if I could just calm that churning brain.
DH is sleeping on his new mattress for the first time. When I left the room to come downstairs I think he was awake.
Will try to shut my eyes, but now I'm hungry.

Drkatiebug- happy birthday! You look fantastic! I love your birthday suit!
Heather - no, very old injury. Sometimes I move wrong and my back reacts very badly. I've never had it radiate from my neck before. I know I pulled my shoulder blade muscle because I felt it but since I have a bad neck it decided to flair up as well. Sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks of bed rest and then it's like normal again. Here's hoping for the 2 weeks!
Mary from Minnesota1 -
Have caught up to pg 44 and way past bed time as I need to be at the store by 6 a.m.
Katla -I'm late as usual but congratulations on the new grandbaby. What a little sweetheart!
Carey - The Pokemon joke was great and I will use it at work. I love using spaghetti squash as my pasta. I was at Costco today and they had some but I really didn't want 5.
Margaret - So sorry for your loss. I still miss my Mom
Alison - I feel for you. Please remember that you did all you could and that was a lot. Take care of yourself in this difficult time.
Pip - Such a wonderful photo of you and your Mom. Sending positive thoughts.
Cheri and Karen - Nice photo. It is so nice that you had the opportunity to lunch together.
It's been a challenging week with DH. He did compliment me on 2 of the meals. I know I don't cook the way I used to. It might have been delicious but it was dangerous. I know I don't have the figure or the hair that I used to or the energy. This is not news!
I have been reminded a few times how lucky I am in my DD and my DDIL. DGD is being the Queen of Hearts also. I think her "Off with their Heads" is more convincing than mine. Hoping we can get a photo together.
DGS is hoping to enter a martial arts tournament. I hope he doesn't trip over those feet that just keep growing. He is very lean and lanky.
DS is driving me crazy. She wants updates on family member's health etc. but doesn't want me to text her unless it is after a certain time. I always seem to forget that. We had a big fight and I am not proud of myself.
Long past bedtime here.

My son got to meet his little girl for the first time yesterday. Below is a picture of Elizabeth (called Ellie). My son posted the following comment on Facebook: "I can officially say with certainty that my daughter is the shortest, most adorable person I have ever seen. So much so, I couldn't stop smiling." I hope the whole visit goes well, and that he will be able to move closer and be part of her life once he's done with the Air Force.

Lisa. Ellie is beautiful. Hopping that all goes well with your DS and the long road ahead for them
Happy Friday folks, gonna get the furnace cleaned and checked today. Accomplished a good amount of bothersome work yesterday and have one little annoying computer report to finish and then I can get back to the good stuff--just teaching!
Great pic and happy birthday dr katiebug. You rock that birthday suit
NYKAREN0 -
Dr Katie - You look so strong, happy and healthy in your photo. It cheered my heart! All that gym work is paying off.
Lisa - What a fabulous granddaughter you have. May it all work out in the future!
We now have four houses to see on Monday. Trying to get a couple more agents on board to fit a couple more in the mid afternoon.
The good news is that my son says he would like company for dinner as DDIL is working in London, so he has asked us to come over at 5 when he is going to get back from work a bit early. Really he wants help with bath and bed time for three kids, but we would LOVE to muck in. Bath, snuggles and bed time stories. What could be better. Really longing to see them. Hooray, hooray, hooray! :drinker:
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx3 -
Dr KatieBug~ adorable picture!! and Happy Birthday ..
Tom at the airport and about ready to board....what I found out on the way up is he changed his flights and time down there so that he could see Mary Chapin Carpenter tonight in Sarasota.. he said I told you... no he did not.. but not gonna argue.. Homer took a ride up to the airport with me..1 -
Re, believe it or not I listened to old Desi Arnaz...that Cuban band music is pretty rockin'!

A beautiful sunrise in MA yesterday.
Good Morning All!!
I believe it's going to take a while to get used to this Discussion Site. I find it a bit difficult to follow and navigate all of the dialogues, but love reading the great successes and friendly chatter. It's also very healing and warm to see everyone pick those that need picking up, up. Great Group.
Yesterday was my birthday.. Low and quiet. Hung out at home on a rainy evening, watched "The Great Gatsby" on Netflix and sipped away at a wonderful Pinot Noir. Hubby was at a retirement party for a co-worker.. son away at college. Wonderful "ME" evening.
So, this is the start of my quest... I am on the road for a year of good healthy MIND, BODY and SOUL. Day #1.
Hope everyone has a great day and weekend.4 -
Heidi~ beautiful sunrise!! nice ME evening.. hopefully I will get a me weekend and recoup from this darn cold...3

Re in TX - thanks. Weather cleared up and should be nice for tomorrow. 62 degrees. Can't wait.0

Hi Ladies!

Talk later.
Rita from CT1 -
DrKatieBug you look mawvelous. How very brave to post a pic in your "Birthday suit" sorry, couldn't resist. Happy late birthday.
Heidi, happy late birthday to you. Glad you had a good evening.
I'm off to get in the pool.
