Sandy, Sorry for your loss. Just take things one day at a time and use this board for support. We will give you all we can. Prayers to you and mom. Don't worry to much about the weight it will get back in shape.
Nancia, Good for you getting a lawyer. That's how I did it. It was a difficult thing to admit that I couldn't work any longer but I knew I couldn't. I still have times when I'm feeling better and think well maybe but by the next day I just can't even deal being around people and know that I made the right choice. It sure changes your income and medical but eventually it all works out. My prayers are with you.
Missy, I jotted down your cookie recipe, I think they'd be good to take to church. Question: What temp do you bake them at?
Went to LQS to find kids print to make prayer quilt for Arianna and hanging on the wall was the perfest quilt. It's flannel and called Tree of Life. All it is is a panel with a tree and birds with boxes of butterflies and birds, a border of free flyin birds, a narrow border of teal with white polka dots and a wider border with pink and yellow and green flowers. A perfect little girls quilt. Not to babish but big enough she can grow into. If I had a camera I'd take a picture. I'm over half done. I hope to get it done today so I can take it to church to have prayers said for Arianna and give it to our Pastor so he can deliver it next week.
Well I'm off to finish my Sat morning chores (laundry) and work on the quilt.
Have a good day everyone. Get ER done, One Day at a Time!

I'm back to the bent'n'dent grocery store. My dh is out of oatmeal, his favorite breakfast food.
I just joined Walgreen's Walk With Walgreens. They give you points, bonuses and coupons to use to encourage your walk.
http://walk.walgreens.com/
I made it to the mailbox and back today! I am increasing my steps, but still huffing and puffing. No results back from the tests. I will go by the hosp next week and requests copies of the results. Then I have them in my hot little hands!
I feel like this month will never end. I don't know if it's because I ran out of money so quickly, or just the change of the weather. It feels forever long to me.
I am enjoying the beautiful sunshine and cooler temps, though. I will get out for a little while today and walk while I am out.
What activity will you increase today?

Here is a picture of the snack mats. They will be in the mail today.

Wow. I so love Whole Foods. We do not have one here though. :(
What is a snack mat? Sounds like it would be darling to give to the kidlets. The Casper's Crunch sounds soo Yummy!

Cooled and put in cute Halloween treat bags.
I was okay on the eating today, but they had a tour of a new Whole Foods opening in our town, we went on the tour and received goodie bags. Lots of cool things, I did eat two pieces of chocolate - but I had just a salad for dinner oops, with some onion rings. I will see what the scale says tomorrow.

Thanks you so much. These were fabrics I won at a guild swap in September. They were fun to make and I found this cute turkey that I will make placemats for Thanksgiving. Thought I could do the same kind of applique of the turkey.

Beautiful snack mats. I am going to have to make some myself.
I am still hurting but getting a little better each day, I still get winded in all walking even taking it slow.
Have a wonderful weekend.

cindy-- every time i look at your avatar, i just see how much your puppy loves you. it is the sweetest picture!
mj-- your walking sounds great! keep it up you will get stronger and stronger. don't you just HATE waiting for results? i'm figuring i'm not in danger of a brain explosion since my neurologist hasn"t called. damn, guess i'll live. my favorite holiday is halloween, but this year i'm ignoring it. no decorations and no bags of candy. my husband did buy me a hat, with a black veil which i wore as we walked around the store. a little boy came up to me and asked me if i was a witch. of course, i said yes! see why i don't post a photo! (cackle. cackle!) just think, next year i will be a thinner witch!
keep up the good work! i'm busy drinking and running to you know where!lol but my weight seems to go up.....
