Halloween

A few of you who are my friends on FaceBook have already seen this, but I think it is cute and thought I would pass it along to my friends.

One of my cousins said:
Forgot to get a halloween costume for saturday.... gonna have to whip something together like my mom did when we were young; wait my mom usually put some flannel on us and one of my dads hats and called us hunters... i dont have any flannel : (
The comments were: (without names)

From me
You could throw a sheet over your head, that was always a good one for me.

Wear pj's rosy your cheeks up, 2 pigtails and a pacifier-easy baby outfit!mao...like when my mom had me wear the boys football pads "here is your costume, you like football, and it will be warm"

from her sister:
Lol, I remember that. Go to Goodwill, get a poncho, make some horn rimmed glasses out of cardboard and go as Ugly Betty.

Ok now your turn. Good last minute costumes that don't cost much.

Catching up.

It has been a while since I offically posted anything on this blog. What can I say? Nothing has happened worth blogging about. I am still losing weight but not as fast as this summer, I still have several pounds to go but I am down 4-5 sizes (depending on the style) in slacks, only 1-2 sizes in tops.
I have been busy this week teaching staff and public classes at the library. The new information system we have migrated to is, as with most things new giving some people fits, but I think it is a better system, and once they get used to it everyone, the staff and public will be happy with it.

We have a new horse, one of the girls down the road bought a buckskin and is boarding it with us.

One of the other girls has been diagnosed with N1H1. I hope we don't catch it.
Will write more later.

Before and After

I thought it was time to update my profile photo but to get the full effect you need to see the before and after so here it is December 2007 and today.









I still don't like the full shots but here are a couple of them. The one on the left was taken in 2006, the one on the right was taken today.

Feeling Better

I am finally feeling better, still not 100% but getting there. Throat still hurts, but I have no fever.
I have not exercised since Thursday, I have lost 6.6 pounds since Friday because I had trouble eating very much. Not really the way I wanted to loose it but I'll take it. Hope I don't gain it all back next week.

Charlie had surgery on his "trigger finger (left hand), and an injection in the right hand today. It went well, and very quick. We didn't have to be at the surgery center til 9:30 and were out by noon.

Just finished walking 3 miles. It took an hour and half, which is kind of slow, but considering that I haven't done anything for 6 days and am still not real chipper, I guess it's not bad.

I lead such an exciting life. Type to you all later.

Sick

I feel like crap. Sore throat started 5 days ago. Got antibiotics on Friday, that didn't help. Had fever (102) and chills all weekend can't swallow, one tonsil is 2x as big as the other, white spots on throat. Saw the Dr. today. Got script for a different antibiotic to start tomorrow. Now I have heartburn.

Good news. Lynn says I have lost 54 pounds, ( thought it was 51) Blood pressure is down, he decreased meds. OK I'm done b****** now.

Thanks for listening
