:flowerforyou: Marie, when people ask me how I learned to do so many things on the computer, I tell them that I learned from my friends on MFP and it looks like you've done the same thing.......isn't it amazing how many things you can do when you start by copying something and then add and delete to make it your own.......the pumpkin and black bean soup sounds delicious.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

The dogs and I just came back from the dog park.....it is gray and cloudy here but the wind has died down and it didn't start to rain until we were just about ready to leave.

:flowerforyou: Our power went out last night while I was watching "Skating With the Stars" and riding the exercise bike :sad: :sad: :sad: I didn't get to watch the rest of the show, but the exercise bike has a backup battery so I could finish my exercise.........the power came back on about two hours later :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: we have the greatest utility company here.....I put them on my gratitude list this morning :bigsmile:

After a long and very stress filled day I am happy to report that my husband made it through his eight-hour surgery. It was rocky at the beginning. He coded twice in the ICU before the surgery. I thank God that we were there and not in the car on the way there, or at home. It would be a very different outcome.

My daughter is here with me (thank you Sheri), and spent the day with me at the hospital. When we left to come home Keith was back in ICU and completely out of it. They said he wouldn't know where he was till the middle of the night and that we should go home and get some sleep.

It is very strange to see someone you've lived with for 50 years hooked up to IVs, breathing apparatus, drainage tubes, etc. I hope they tell him we were there and that we will be back.

I am exhausted, have no appetite and am having a glass of white wine - to hell with the calories. I think I could sleep for 24 hours straight.

What a good idea. I copied this list into my Word. I have such a hard time remembering who everyone is that I usualy just do a "general" post. Maybe now I can do better.

Hello,
I have been really busy decorating. I have did well for the most part. I still have a cough and some back pain but I'm able to function. Have been shopping, cough, cleaning, cough, decorating, cough, babysitting, cough...you get the picture..:bigsmile: In between have been going to the chiropractor. I am considering starting back to the gym tomorrow.
My daughter-in-law's mother had breast cancer surgery the monday before Thanksgiving. They thought they removed it all but a lymph node test came back positive. She goes back to the doctor the 8th of December. It's a waiting game until then. I actually did lose some weight before Thanksgiving. I have stayed even but I had a brain blip last night and ate a small Little Debbie's Honey bun in the middle of the night. I was watching some tv, which I never do, and it hit me. I should have come to the pc..but I thought probably no one was up.
My DH had an over night business trip and I was by myself...maybe I was nervous, I don't know. I don't eat white flour,sugar, very little dairy. I slipped...sort of like an alcholic..or smoker...they say sugar is like that too...and can have an addictive effect on you. I tried to combat with Barley Greens and such...so let's hope that works.
I think it's carthartic to tell about it. I'm not good at keeping things I do to myself. Good or Bad?? I don't know.

I don't have time tonight to post to each one. I do lurk on here every day to catch up with everyone. I know Sandy has been in a lot of pain. I am worried most tonight about Connie...and her husband. I pray you have some comfort tonight and some good rest.

I had a good Thanksgiving with friends and family. We sang for 3-4 hours. We sang Christian and Christmas Carols. I came home in the Christmas spirit... It was a wonderful day.

Have a Happy day tomorrow!

Hi everyone. Bedtime but I wanted to drop in and say hello.

Connie -- I hope your husband has a restful night and that tomorrow things will start to look better. I also hope that you get a little sleep as well. It is wonderful to have your daughter there to support you both. I will remember you all in my prayers. Take care.

Thinking of you all. Be back tomorrow to post a little more. Gayla

Connie, glad to hear your hubby made it through the surgery. Don't forget to take care of YOU!! One family member in the hospital is enough, right?


Since the month has ended and no one had started the new thread for December, I sent a PM to Sandy and went ahead and started it. Here is the link:
