Thank you for thinking of me, Lana! Sorry for the delay in responding. The week leading to the show was crazy. We are in NOLA now. Today is the final day of setup. Show is tomorrow through Thursday. 10 hour days on our feet. We fly home Friday afternoon. The appointment went better than I expected. A world renowned…

Good evening, Cabana Crew! I'm still around. Moose travel is out of hand this month. We did not get good pictures at the Stud Strut, but we did raise $959.00 in 15 minutes. Total money of all fundraisers was $5500. That money along with a trailer load of supplies was donated to the Carl Perkins Center for Abused and…

Here's my hotel balcony view until Sunday. We are at Pickwick Landing State Park until Sunday for the Tennessee Moose Association Midyear Conference. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Do the best you can in your situation. Tracy in Tennessee

Good morning, Cabana Crew, Saw something on Facebook this morning that has inspired me today. "Go 24 hours without complaining and see how your life changes." I intend to face today with enthusiasm and positivity. Counting down to Moose Convention. My vacation starts in 7 days! Will be away from work March 29-April 5. On…

Good morning, Cabana Crew! Excited for the progress I see everyone making! I ate all the food in Boston, but I also walked, worked, and sweated a lot. Scale shows a tiny loss and a shirt I had not worn in a while is a little looser. Wishing everyone a happy Monday! Tracy in Tennessee

Good morning, Cabana Crew, I've been lax in checking the group. Was in New Orleans 2 weeks ago. Ate horribly, but walked 25 miles in 3 days, so balance? I read all the past posts. Glad most everyone seems to be doing fairly well. Spent the last two weeks catching up on house and work stuff. Last Sunday, my dryer went out…

Good afternoon, Cabana Crew. I'm still kicking. Was in New Orleans for work from Monday through Thursday. Hard work, but we managed to have a little fun -- beignets at Cafe Du Monde, gumbo at The Gumbo Shop, shopping on Bourbon Street and in the Arts District. We walked a lot. Last night, we went to Memphis to see Gabriel…

Monday, February 7 Good morning, Cabana Crew, Update on last Tuesday's rheumatologist appointment. He diagnosed fibromyalgia and prescribed Cymbalta. After 4 doses, I have decided I cannot tolerate the side effects. I will be sending a message to him today. The only side effect I actually enjoy is that I can't eat. . . at…

Good evening, Cabana Crew! Tomorrow is the long-awaited consult with a rheumatologist. I don't mind if he doesn't have an answer right now as long as he is not dismissive of my symptoms. Appointment is at 3:00 pm. I will leave around 8 to get there around 11and visit a very nice mall in the area. We have some nasty ice…

Good morning, Cabana Crew! Lana, so sorry they are calling ice for you. I'm not too worried about power outages with this storm. That usually happens with freezing rain and overhead power lines. The weather casters are not expecting freezing rain here and my area has underground power. My boss told me not to come in…

Checking in. Not a lot to report. Hanging in limbo until Rheumatologist appointment on Feb 1st. I did have a lot of gastrointestinal distress Sunday night. I'm trying to make better food choices. Will find out today if I go to Arizona February 7-11. Possibly New Orleans February 14-17 as well. Trade Show season has begun…

Happy New Year, Cabana Crew! Today's menu is: Fried Hog Jowl Field peas with snaps Mixed greens Fried cabbage with bacon Fresh yellow cornbread May not be the healthiest, but sure is the happiest meal of the year! By the way, if anyone finds themselves in Charlottesville, Virginia, go to Citizen Burger at the walking mall…

Good morning, Cabana Crew. Rough night in NW TN. A [possible] tornado hit half a mile from my house. Won't know until offical assessment happens in daylight. My favorite convenience store was destroyed. Reports that our Sonic, grocery store, and Dollar store were also destroyed have been circulating. Best I can tell in the…

Hi, Sherry! Welcome!!!! Drop by any time. We do have fun here. More general support than weight loss. Tracy here. 54 years old, Hashimoto's, 5'1" Live in : Newbern, TN (75 miles north of you), but I lived in Frayser until I was 11. We won't talk about the shape I'm in right now. I have some life things to straighten back…

Good morning! Missy, your decorations are impressive! Great job!! Thank you, Lana! No party or dinner, unless you call breaking set a party. ;) Our theatre is not a permanent one. It is used for many types of events. Even our stage is occasionally removed. Next weekend, there will be a reading of the Polar Express and a…

Good morning, Cabana Crew! Sara, so happy you are on the mend! Opening night went well. Crowd enjoyed the show. I got lots of compliments on the different voices I used for each character. Hope everyone has a nice weekend! Do the best you can in your situation. Tracy in Tennessee

It's Monday! Production week. True to form in my community theatre, we will not have a full cast on stage until opening night. Tonight is a Christmas parade--several of our child actors are in the parade. Tomorrow night--one actor has to leave early for clinic. Wednesday, our pianist has to play at her church. No rehearsal…

However, we are off this week and the play is next week. Rehearsal next Monday through Wednesday. Performances Friday through Sunday. We had to take a break next…

You can do it, Lana! Charlotte was a lovely city. We stayed in Ayersley because our office is across the road on Whitehall. The only fun we squeezed in was a brief trip to the outlet mall. Very enjoyable for a business trip! Went to the office yesterday to catch a few things up. Also booked the flight for my next trip --…

Oh my Ceiling Cat! Elegant and classical Happy Hour! I can practice my Victory Rolls hairstyle and wear my pinup girl dress to prepare for my play. May I have a Cosmopolitan - - and keep them coming, please? Lana, I will bring some white sage to burn for positive energy, lavendar for calming, and lemongrass for uplifting…

Good afternoon, Cabana Crew! Running through to say glad to see everyone is still here and (relatively) unscathed. Play is going well. Our director is very excited about our progress. Travel begins in November 8! Went for my TSA Precheck qualification today. Hope to have that finalized before I leave. Do the best you can…

Holy carpity, y'all. We had a tailgate party at work today. If you missed the announcement, I am now on the team that produces employee events. I have been on my feet since 7 am and have clocked 14,653 steps today. I'm tired. Do the best you can in your situation. Tracy in Tennessee

@LanaCabana537 . I will be in Charlotte, NC, Nov 8-11 to do some training for the other company assistants. I can't remember if you are near Charlotte. Tracy in Tennessee

You're up early, Lana! We will have four performances. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening will be dinner theatre performances. Ticket price will include a catered meal in the theatre. Sunday matinee will be straight performance, no meal. We will only practice Monday's and Tuesdays until the week of performance. Play…

I'm still around. Had a serious meltdown yesterday. I was partially the cause for postponing two Moose meetings last night. I've overloaded my wagon and have reached burnout. Yet, I must trudge on. Tomorrow is a big motorcycle ride for Veteran's causes in memory of a member who died in August. I will be at the Lodge to…

Good morning! Nikki, great picture!! Everything about it is beautiful. Is Moose a Belgian draft horse? My Grandpa had two champion quarter horses, matched Appaloosas, a palomino, and a buckskin. I had a dappled grey pony (she wasn't mine, but my cousin didn't really care anything about her. I rode her and cared for her on…

Yes, it was, Lana! The Mississippi river flowed backwards and formed the lake in a cypress grove. We have lots of eagles living there. Chattanooga is the Mid-year Moose Convention for Tennessee Moose Association. We have to be there Thursday through Sunday. Looking forward to relaxing some at this one. A few things have…

Exhausted from yesterday's event. Every part of my body hurts. Art and I are going to Reelfoot Lake to eat today. Celebrating our 15 year anniversary. I have to get laundry done today and pack for Chattanooga. We leave early Thursday morning. Do the best you can in your situation. Tracy in Tennessee

Welcome back, Nikki! Lana, I see your progress! Good job! Life is still busy and will continue for the foreseeable future. Huge event this weekend. Will be manning the Safe Surfin' Child ID kit booth along with sales for Wreaths Across America for The Moose at Newbern Depot Days. Have to start setup at 6:30 am and will…

Yaaaaay for Lana!! I didn't go get any veggies, but the burgers and hot dogs were great! Had enough to get through lunches for the week. The grill is perfect for one or two people. Coals get ready quick and I love how a Weber cooks evenly if you build your fire correctly. New job is good. I'm working my way into it a…
