She still got some growing to do before Test Track. I do have to say she laid on the ground right in front of this and had a fit she couldn't go. I would have taken a picture but I was so embarrassed I was doing everything I could to get her up and outta there.

V, your photos are just gorgeous. That one of Haley looking up at Snow white from the table edge is just special.

V...we love all the pics...keep them coming....

Today is the usual end of the summer holdiay barbeque. We're doing it at Mom's house because my brother is staying there and he likes to cook, so we're letting him. Then he's going to work with the boys Tom and Kris DGSs and clear out the house. Not sure what he's got in mind, but whatever it is, it needs to be done.

Tomorrow I have another appointment with wound care management and my brother will drive me. Thursday is our appointment with the lawyer and my brother is putting together all the documentation.

Yea bro, glad he's home to take care of things...I'm still muddeling along with a cane for support and not much good for anything right now.

I've been doing well with the Nutrisystem meals and sticking to it...it's about 1,000 calories per day. If I don't lose weight with it, I don't know what I'll do. This has got to work for the sake of helping the edema. Today is only the fourth day so it's too soon to tell. In the meantime, I've caught a tummy bug and keep running to the bathroom and I'm feeling very lathargic, no energy at all. Good Grief! Will I ever feel healthy again? Today, it doesn't feel like it, but I know it will turn around, hopefully soon.

A mixed week for you coming up Deb! At least you have to relax today(when you can between bathroom visits). Sorry you feel ill - you have enough without that too.

I know it is LATE according to some, but I believe in celebrating the BIRTH SEASON and that does not end until the celebrant SAYS it ends

Jan

Now there's a concept I agree with......birth SEASON! I have a reputation at work for milking my birthday for all it's worth!

Jackie,

How did you get this pic? Must have been REALLY early in the morning... Not a soul in sight!!

I stole this picture from the DCL picture of the day thread!

V, what WAS that appetizer from Marrakesh? It looked yummy. I bet by the time I'm done posting there will be more pictures to see....keep em coming!

Combination Appetizer for Two - Beef Brewat Rolls, Chicken Bastilla, and Jasmina Salad
It wsa good! I really was surprised at how much both John and I liked this restaurant.

Deb - sorry to hear you are feeling under the weather. Hopefully you can rest up and get better today.

Splash Mountain, I was shocked that we pretty much walked on to everything and we didn't get to the park until about 10:30 or so.

shrimp cocktail

ceasar salad

I was impressed with this, we ordered Samantha this kids steak and planned on sharing for Haley some of everything. They "split" the meal on to two plates and it really appeared as two meals, not smaller versions.

I really wanted this dessert more than the kids!

crash time!

Sorry about tummy troubles on top of everything else.

OK, my turn to play MOM....IF your Nutrisystem is really only 1000 calories a day, I'd like to suggest supplementing some additional fruit/veggies to kick it up to about 1200. 1,000 just always feels a little extreme TO ME, and was something I could not keep up for the long haul. Or maybe just bump it up every other day or so. Some people find that varying the caloric intake helps prevent the metabolism from thinking..."Starving". I remember back from the old Weight Watcher days our leader reminding us to eat in our point range...and not just pick one particular number of points and eat that day after day. As our friend Noel would say....just my thoughts.

crash time!

From princesses to little angels...how sweet and adorable are they!

Jackie, you are so right....they do say you should supplement with fresh fruits and veggies and dairy. That would add/vary your calorie intake each day. I went to a nutrionist once and she said the same thing about the body not giving up the fat cells if it thinks it's starving. So again, correct, your best results would be not to remain constant, but vary the calorie amount. As I would say....I welcome your thoughts, they're always right on!

ok enough pictures.....
John is working today so it's just the girls and I. Back to work tomorrow!

The game was a blast and the girls had a great time. We stayed until the beginning of the 4th quarter, and then there was a game delay due to lightening so we went to the Ale House for dinner. They ended up calling the game so we won 49-3. We played a team whose mascot is a hilltopper - what is that?

 

[lillygator]

and yes, you should have heard the cheers when the Michigan scores were posted! Unreal!

 

[lillygator]

we're back in Gainesville Saturday and since the game is at 6pm, we are staying overnight. We play Troy and then the following week UT! I was rooting for them against Cal - !

V....LOVE LOVE LOVE all the pics....As Karen would say, living vivaciously through you! We missed you on here and we're glad you're back and sharing. Thanks!
