Rough night here with DH. He is so uncomfortable and says his stomach is constantly bubbling. He is hungry but eating makes his stomach hurt. He is restless but doesn’t feel like doing anything……. The list goes on and on! I am doing pretty good and haven’t felt like killing him so far. Monday can’t come quick enough. On…

Good Morning Ladies! Just skimming through.... It is still raining challenges around here..... DH has been in pain for the last 2 weeks and finally got to the doctor yesterday to see what could be done about an umbilical hernia that he believes he tore further helping a neighbor move some heavy chairs. I believe he will…

I am in tears regarding Gloria. I too will miss sharing with her. It is so amazing how much all of you have come to mean to me. My "sisters" from all over the world.

I’ve been a little depressed….still looking for another job…still “supposedly” negotiating…still financially strapped. Praying for a successful outcome by the end of the month. DH is so supportive but I think we will need to make some serious lifestyle changing decision if nothing happens by the end of the month. :( Oh…

Hey Everybody! Just stopping by......

I truly believe the interview went very well. I was pleased! Hope to hear about a third interview next week. In the meantime had another company contact me about another job. The one I had the interview for today will be on a contract basis for 6 months and then permanent. The new one is just a contract for 7 months. They…

Big interview today at 12:45! Pray for my success!

Hey Ladies! Didn't post this weekend but did occassionally scan through your posts. Picked up a sinus infection which is much better today although I am feeling druggy. Did quite a bit of emotional eating while trying to deal with my mom's disposal of my grandmother's house. Still haven't made peace with myself about it…

Happy Terrific Tuesday Ladies! :) :) I have spent the last 3 weeks or so being off track. :( Thanks goodness I am only showing a 2.4 pound recapture of pounds. I started smoking again but this morning I am almost at 24 hours without a cigarette. I think it’s going to be alright. However, yesterday I had to fight myself…

Karen in VA: I don't like my adult son or daughter very much either sometimes. I have found it easier to stay out of the frays and talk with them when I want to talk with them. After all they are quick to point out they are adults! So I give them the same respect I give to other adults. Dorrie: DH came to my house as a…

Hi Ladies! Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes… I had a job interview on Monday which helped me put some pep back in my step! I am praying that I get this one. o:) Great company and great salary. I just don’t want to speak on how rude people of cell phones can be. I have gotten in the habit of just wandering off…

Good Day Ladies! Yesterday was I acknowledged my 59th birthday! <3 Had a really quiet day – still having a little wheeze going on but expect that to be cleared up by tomorrow. DH and I went to the movies and that was it. Plan to celebrate next Saturday at a favorite restaurant with some friends. Tried to put on some shoes…

Finally got my prednisone and can breathe again! I did sleep most of the morning and that was good. DH woke me up twice calling to check on me then finally decided to just come home to watch over me. I was having the most lovely dreams. So it’s back to the office tomorrow. Some of you may remember a few years back DH (who…

Hey Ladies! I am venting because I’m having an asthma episode. :# DH has pointed out to me that I’ve been in asthma crisis for at least two weeks. Today was pretty rough and even I can hear my chest rattling. I know I am blessed to not have any other ailments but this one makes up for it. Unfortunately, my asthma triggers…

LISA! Thank you for sharing with us. Your story inspires me to keep on going. I give lip service to weight loss being a lifestyle change but I am struggling lots of days. Most of the time its a mental struggle. MFP and especially all the ladies here help me to stay on track. Tere P.S. Would someone please remind me of the…

Hey Pals, I had a wonderfully long post but I accidentally erased it before posting. So I am just sending <3 HUGS <3 to each of you. I was a little out of sorts last week. Nothing big going on just a whole lot of little things and I think my pre-birthday blues. So I decided to go spend the day with my mother. She is my…

I've been watching "My 600 Pound Life" for motivation and I've picked up some good reminders...portion control...elimination of carbs...the importance of exercise no matter how little I think it is. My asthma and the heat do not work well together so I am working out with the Wii keeping in mind that I must exercise and…

Lenora: I am a dirty martini girl. Although I usually only have one. They are for sipping for sure as they are all alcohol. Most of my enjoyment comes from the martini glass. I love stemware. I don’t particularly care for shots. People seem to do several shots at a time and each shot is almost equal to the alcohol content…

I had a wonderful time with DOGD shopping. We did go to three consignment stores and she did a fantastic job of trying things on and picked up some great pieces. We did go to Walmart, at her request, and picked up some summer shoes and underwear. She was happy and so was I. She managed to have some money to bring home and…

Happy Saturday Ladies! I have DOGD with me for the weekend or longer. I’m not quite sure when I’ll be taking her home. We are going shopping today as DH gave her shopping money. She, her brother, and sister just moved back here to their mother after a year with her father. It was a rough year for them and their father did…

Karen: Thanks for the hug! I am so sorry about Farley. It is so hard to lose our babies. I am praying for his peaceful transition. My baby Storm went to sleep one evening and did not awaken. Even though it’s been over a year I still miss him. DH comforts me by reminding me of all the good times we had and that he had a…

Hi Ladies! It was long mental weekend for me. I have a lot going on as usual and need some time to sort some stuff out regarding my mother and my daughter. I am not ready to vent but DH says I've been crying in my sleep and he's had to awaken me a couple of times. I know that I am heartbroken about a couple of things and…

Some body asked for a Blah Buster. This was mine today. I hope it works! https://www.facebook.com/DonP/videos/1462801600451470/

Hey Ladies! This has been quite a day. I haven’t accomplished half of what I had planned. Ended up taking a nap that lasted four hours and now it’s now 10 pm. Just waking up and need to bake a cake for my college roommate’s birthday (pecan sour cream pound cake) tomorrow. At least there is no work tomorrow and we will be…

I just had to share this yellow seedless watermelon with you! Getting it ready for the fridge! I hadn't even seen one since I was a child. We have a store called "Fresh to Frozen" that carries lots and lots of discounted foods. DH calls it the "Old People Store" because you hardly ever see anyone under 50 shopping there. I…

It’s Sunday Ladies! <3 I must share with you my experience of what to wear to church this morning. Our church, like lots of others, is a come as you are or feel. I feel the need to get dressed up for church just because that’s what I want to do. So this morning, I decided I would wear a lovely crinkly flowered dress…

Happy Friday Pals! I’ve been feeling sort of blue and out of sorts. Nothing much, besides the usual, going on…perhaps it’s just a culmination of all the stuff we been through during the last six months finally taking its toll on me. We have a long weekend so I think I’ll spend it just being quiet and cleaning out some…

DH and I are up looking out at the rain. :/ I suppose we will get ready to get out of here and on the way to Norfolk VA for the Cajun Boogaloo Festival. We love festivals because of the music and variety of food. This one typically features great seafood, crawfish, alligator, and other Louisiana dishes. The music is…

Hey Ladies…. Catching up with your posts today. My DH is awfully big on Mothers Day and I try to reciprocate on Father’s Day. So I took him out to breakfast and let him make the menu for dinner. Usually I get him a card but just didn’t this year (we were in the middle of our misunderstanding). He was happy. I am not…

Happy Father’s Day Pals! My weekend has been a little tense. DH and I had one of our very infrequent misunderstandings. So we were not speaking until we got to church. :/ I guess we both needed a good sermon so the fight is over. I didn’t do too bad eating – thank God. I remember one time that some fast food and junk would…
