What's on your PLATE?
 

Can we talk about food instead? I'm hungry! I'd love something on my plate but that would require me getting up to make it.

Here are the dinner plans: I made some salmon burgers about an hour ago (sitting in the oven now waiting for me) and figured I'll make them into bagel salmon burgers with cream cheese and lettuce/tomato? Not sure how that'll go!

But what's really on my plate tomorrow is two doctor appointments. A third opinion for the surgery and then the psychologist for the 2nd visit. Not so sure how I felt about him the first time, can't believe 2 weeks have gone by already and I told him I'd be done with school stuff by now and am not! I also told him I'd talk to my boss and didn't.

Wednesday night I work late.

Thursday night I have girls night out.

Friday night a movie with a friend.

Saturday two friends birthday outing.

And Sunday to relax (I HOPE).

On my plate today???? Going to work here in a bit, then choir practice this evening. Tomorrow is Rebeccas 18th birthday. :) Trying to stay afloat.
Trying (without much luck) Old habits are hard to break . sigh......
love you guys

Enjoying some unusually nice weather for this time of year and s-inlaw who is visiting. Going up to lake michigan today for a look at the much talked about new golf course and amusement pk...having lunch at a new place there.

wish, your post made me hungry! baked salmon burgers w/sour cream sounded wonderful! Had to laugh at the "dieting" brother and sister, gobbling down the sourcream coffee cake at breakfast...:D

And Goofy...You have good reason to revert of old "behaviors" all things considered...I have confidence that you'll beat this and we love you anyway. :grouphug:

The weather here is simply amazing, unbelievable. But guess it's turning colder this Friday with rain, hopefully not snow. But geesh! The weather has been phenomenal!

Work today per usual. No special plans. I wanna go to Lake Michigan too! :p

:hug:

Day off work here...

I'm going over to a friends for lunch then help them organize their photos into folders.

I've been driving around with a trunk full of stuff for the Thrift Shop so I MUST get myself there today.

And the rest of the day will be spent putting together some photo books for Christmas presents!

On my plate are hugs for Wish:hug:, Goofysis ,:hug: Doody :hug:and Alffemom:hug: ,Addy AND THE WHOLE ROOM:grouphug:

Ugh I have bitten my tongue off and am about to be so un me . and rude when she calls again. you show up to work under the influence ...ugh way to long of a story but ...

I have no clue if thats true :confused:and no knowledge of downs syndrome but. just one last visit before things get ugly would be such a gift from God!!! and well worth any mess or broken items or whatever.

((((((((((marshmallow)))))))))))

we really do know you are here when you can be... and when you're not here, we're with you until you can be back with us...

I will take on the role as deputy sheriff again... cuz its fun to close down the wonder threads!! I get such a kick out of you!

Another thing to add to my plate today - I made a delicious dinner.... manicotti stuffed with ground chicken, carrots, mushrooms, onion, garlic, ricotta, cream cheese, zuccinni and smothered with sauces, mozzarella and parmesan! The oven is beeping now...

(I'm glad spell police isn't here... I have no time to run spell-check and can't find it anyway... )

We had such a good time with our company..enjoyed the beautiful weather. They were putting up the Christmas decorations on the bluff at St.Jo..such a gorgous view of the lake. They have built a new round building for the old fashioned carousel but it had Fall hours so we weren't able to go in and ride it...but we will next time. Doody you would love it!

I finally got my haircut and she kidded me about choosing the basement over my apt with her several weeks ago...but that sky was scary as was the wind.

I think I've mention before what a great jumper Cassie is...when she is really excited she jumps straight up on all four legs...looks like a card table..last evening she plucked a possum right off the tree where the corn feeder is for the squirrels (thanks Doody's daddy) He did, what they do so well, played dead and we got Cassie in the house..he finally wondered away towards the barn.

I'm thinking about smae and her surgery yesterday. Hugs for the room
and have a great day. :grouphug:

going to work. my boss called me yesterday and told me the head boss quit. LOL that makes 3 this year. wow..... what a crazy mess it is. I guess they have already hired another person to replace him. I think i'm ready for retirement. LOL Rebeccas birthday was fun yesterday. the BIG party is Saturday night. we are taking 17 girls out to eat.. LOL then over to our house for cake and icecream. Rebecca has some really neat friends. GOOD kids. Hope everybody has a good Thursday. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

I'm really enjoying this thread... and how it allows me to see inside your lives on the other side of this computer screen.

I was called by my boss yesterday which gave me today off.... business down at the beach isn't so hot in November....

As most of you know, I'm a glass half full person so I make the best of this time (the photo books I'm putting together are hugely time consuming as I'm such a freakin' creative person!!! :o ) ....

so, today, I was sleeping in when the phone rang... it went to voicemail.

It was the mother of Grand-Addy... telling me that my son, Derek (the estranged from me Daddy of Grand-Addy) was going to be phoning and she hoped that I didn't mind she gave him my number (MIND :eek: ??!!! )

So, the phone rings within seconds... and on the other end is this deep voice that says, Hi, how's it going? (no Hi this is Derek).... but, of course, I knew it was him....
and throughout that call I remained the changed, calm, and loving person I have become since he chose to leave my life... and together we agreed that tomorrow he would come to me to be with his daughter.

My big boy was crying on the other end of that phone... he has a lot of anger and I know that deep in my heart he needs medication to help balance that angry irrational brain of his... he's 33...

Baby steps... baby steps... oh, where is David right now... I know he'd like to be reading this... as I know so many of you will :grouphug:

And I thank God every day for that angel in my life - my Grand-Addy :Heart:
