HI ALL

Another busy day here. The appraiser called yesterday afternoon and wanted to come at 8 AM today Of course we had our Aulani webcast scheduled for yesterday so we Had to watch that twice Then we threw the house back together. The appraisal visit is done and now we wait until we get the report. The Mortgage rate dropped to 3% today so we did lock in.

Colby had a dermatology appointment today and had to have a mole removed from his foot. They are biopsying it, it could be melenoma and if it wasn't now, it would have been within 10 years. He was so brave and let her do it right there in the office. He now has a 6 mm hole and 2 stitches. This afternoon he had a urology appt. I had no idea that bowel health is directly related to urinary health. He now has to do a colon cleanse Hopefully we can get both ends regulated (sorry if TMI).

Good morning, DDA!

Deb - when it rains, it pours. I hope things settle down for you all very soon!

You are going to have to explain that one!

I know you are worried about finishing your race. Please read what Vicki posted. she is dead on correct. I am so proud of all of you who set your goals for this month and are meeting them!

I just meant I wanted to be more like you. You handle everything with such grace and courage.

I finished the half marathon. I wasn't dead last but almost. I saw Vicki & Terry at about mile 7 near the GF. It was great to see them there as I started to wonder if I would make it. Then I saw them and Stef at almost the finish. Great to a friendly face there. I'm icing my feet that feel like they did post op. I'll try a shower soon. They say to wait a few hours before taking Motrin.




Good luck tomorrow Vicki!!!!

Thank you, Bernadette!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And good for Stephanie and Terry. TOMORROW IS VICKI'S DAY!!!

Bernadette - I'm so proud of you!!! I remember how I felt after the half! I hurt everywhere, and was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open. Alan and I had completed it with one of Alan's brothers, and a sister. We made it back to the condo we had rented, dragged our swimsuits on and soaked in the hot tub. I remember thinking at one point, that I better get out, because I was falling asleep, and if that happened, not one of the people there would have enough strength to get me out of the hot tub. We were all SORE!

It's a huge accomplishment, though! Doesn't it feel good inside?!?

You found your awesome. That is wonderful that you finished. Now you have a metal too. It must feel fabulous



The boys had a good day with bowling. Nick and Hunter made the B team, but ended up against the A team in the first round due to where they ceded. Team B smoked Team A and got into the finals. They ended up in second place for the tournament. They were pretty happy.

We came home and I worked on a couple of shirt designs, one for Hawaii and one for bowling. I need to take time tomorrow to fillour some job apps.

Bernadette, I'm so proud of you, Terry and Stephanie!!! Especially after everything that you have gone through with your feet surgeries. I hope you aren't in too much pain today!

Go Vicki!!

And did you see how much $$ Deb Wills' team raised?!?! Outstanding!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Thanks guys!!!

I'm a bit disappointed the they didnt seem to record me going over the start line so my official time of 4 hours 36 minutes is 36 minutes too high.

I'm feeling so much better today than I expected. A bit sore but not too bad. I'm sure I'll be moving slowly today.

I got an email that Vicki has completed 5 miles already!

I am glad you aren't so sore that you can still bask in your victory, Bernadette!

And how about our Vicki??? I am so proud of all of you.

Good morning, DDA!

It was 70 degrees here yesterday. Warm enough that the restaurants downtown had their outdoor seating areas full of patrons and windows were open. What a tease Mother Nature is being. I know she is bringing us winter weather at some point, but I hope it is not too soon. (By the way... I ordered a snowblower, so maybe it won't snow at all!)

 

[Tammi67]

Ha. So did my boss. Thank you both!

 

[lovesdumbo]

VicKi is more than half way done!!!!

 

[my3princes]

Wow, she's doing great. She's probably done by the time I write this. You ladies are amazing

Congrats to Vickie, Bernadette, Terry and Stephanie on completing their respective races this weekend.

Deb- I hope things settle down in your household and I hope that Colby does not have Melanoma.

I also had a mole removed off of my arm on Friday. I am surprised how much it hurts but still better than the alternative. I had previously had a piece shaved off and biopsied. It was not cancerous but the rest still needed to come off as it would become that way. Please get your skin checked better to catch things early.

The weather has been all over the place. It was over 60 degrees yesterday but Wednesday the low was 8 degrees. We had about a 1/4 inch of snow but since it was so cold and unexpected nothing was treated and everything turned into a slippery mess. My road was clear so I tried to go to work, once I got to where it was untreated I saw 3 accidents, someone do a donut and another car attempt to drive off the road. I turned around and went home. My roundtrip was about 4 miles. I have never seen it so bad for so little snow. I headed to work later once it was clear.

I hope you are all doing well and having a Happy Healthy start to 2012.

Hi Becky. Nice to see you. Colby's foot is still really sore, but like you said way better than the alternative. How was your trip. How's work going?

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[MrsHeg]

Good Afternoon everyone,

We made it back from Disney and are back at work. It was great seeing Stephanie, Terry and Vicky. Didn't get to see Bernadette this time, congrats to all of them for completing their marathons.

We had a great trip even though we had some very cold weather.

Hi Becky. Nice to see you. Colby's foot is still really sore, but like you said way better than the alternative. How was your trip. How's work going?

So as if one arm being sore isn't enough I decided to get a flu shot and a tetanus shot in the other arm when I was at the Farm Show and now both arms are sore.

My trip in early December was great except I came back with either the flu or sinus infection or a really bad cold. Originally I was planning on being in FL for Marathon weekend but then my job took away time off and we were closed between Christmas and New Year. I could have still went but wanted to keep those days to use later.

So then my Aunt and cousins were driving down to FL for Christmas. I was going to go with them but I was still sick so I ended up staying home. I ended spending most of the break in bed and ended up with a touch of the stomach bug for New Years. So it was probably good I didn't go back to FL. I think I need a redo of my break. I just started feeling better but I still tire easily.

Work is still stressful. We are so behind in so many things, not things that I can really help do anything with, so I get the complaints. Cookie distribution has started to the troops and the sale starts the end of next week. Our council goal is over 4.3 million boxes sold by mid-March. They are supposed to be doing some refurb and painting in our office in February. We need to pack up our stuff and then we are supposed to work out of our conference room. It should be interesting. Trying to find events and community cultivation type stuff to do during that time frame so I am not there much during the project.

We should try to do a meet up sometime. I feel like it has been forever.

I hope you are all having a Happy Healthy New Year.

Good morning, DDA!

Congratulations to Bernadette, Vicky, Stephanie, and Terry! Fantastic accomplishments!

Deb, I am sorry that you still have so much to deal with. I am glad that they were able to completely take care of Colby's mole, and I hope he is less sore.

Becky, I hope that you are feeling all better soon and that you have a chance to have some fun to make up for your lousy break.

The time for Matthew and Laura to go back to school is quickly approaching, and it's definitely affecting my mood. But I am glad that they are looking forward to going back. I certainly wouldn't want them to be miserable.

The lack of winter weather here has been fine with me. It looks like we may get a little tonight in the form of freezing rain. I would happily go straight to spring at this point. We don't have many snow days to use, since we used them for flooding in September. Fortunately, we haven't had to use a single one yet for winter weather. I don't want Miles (or me) to lose spring break even though we have no plans for it.

Take care, DDA!
