Omigosh guys! Look at these bookmarks. They are just darling and made from trash?!?! All I need to buy is ribbon. Wow. Such cute and clever ideas for recycling things.

Whew! I've been gone since saturday so it took quite a while to catch up. So much going on with so many of us. Just know that I pray daily for each and every one of you.
I was gone on a quilting weekend and had so much fun. It was a lovely cabin sitting next to a beautiful river. Everyone was in awe of my quilting ability. I'm not really that good; it's just that they are afraid to try.
Here's something I hope to give you a chuckle. My mantle clock wound down while I was gone so I re-set it and wound it. At 8 o'clock I was thinking of going for a walk but I looked outside and it was totally dark. I had set it wrong and it was really 9 o'clock. Stupid me!

I'm ready for the heat/humidity to improve where I live also.
The whole country has had quite a summer. We all deserve something good.
Yes it does help. I am doing what I can when I can. I know I am ready for this heat here in Texas to cool down.
I am also getting more on my Scentsy business going. I hope to increase those sales as well.

I am so sorry that you lost your Sammy. It's been 2+ years and I still have a hole in my heart for our KC. Just remember the joy he brought you and the love he received. Hugs

There is so much stress that it is hard to even think about eating healthy. My heart goes out toyou. Please remember though you need to try and stay healthy, not only for yourself, but for your mother, family and friends that love you, including us on the board. We would miss you sorely if anything bad happened to you.

I am trying as i dont wont to look like some of my patients I see at the hospital. That should be the motivation I need. There are times I do what I should and time I get so down that I just cant go forward.
I am the only one of all the siblings that can help with my parents. It is challenging for me. It takes lots of prayers on my part not to lose my mind.

Good morning to all.
Yesterday was a good day for me. I slept very well last night. I contribute it to the healthy eating and exercise I have been doing but I think it was mostly because we got a good storm late yesterday and it cooled it down considerably. Mid 70's....and, surprising, not too high humidity. Felt pretty good.
My prayers go out to the folks along the east coast that were in the earthquake yesterday. I am hearing this morning that the damage was a little worse than was being reported at first. Also, we need to keep the folks that will be in the hurricane's path in our prayers.
Ya'll have a wonderful, blessed day.

I am very excited. I have lost 15 pounds now. 8 since I started this challenge. I am still avoiding bread and sweets. I am also still working out at the gym 4 days a week. I intend to lose this weight this time.

Y'all are doing a great job losing weight. I am very proud for all of you.
Thank you so much for the expressions of sympathy and comfort. It was an awful day yesterday, dh and I could not stop crying. I'm a little better today.
Sammy was my companion for 10 years, he slept with me every night. We even took him on vacation. Last night was lonely.
We have Lulu, and she is a comfort. She is our only chihuahua now. She is now 5 months old and weighs 5 pounds. When I woke up she was laying in my arms, that's the first time she did that. Maybe she is moving into the comforting mode?
We have Honey, our lab/collie mix, but she sleeps in the living room, and we have Motice, (Mo Mo) our miniature poodle, he sleeps in the living room with Honey. All of dogs now are "dumped" dogs. We live on a cove in the county and people drive out here and dump their dogs. Honey and MoMo are constant companions. We got them at diff times, but they are only a year apart in age. Honey thinks MoMo is her baby. She looks for him every time we take him to the groomer, and waits by the door until he comes home.
Thanks for listening. I hardly ate anything yesterday. Grief is good for the diet.
Hugs,
MJ
