Please take a few minutes and catch me up on what's been happening in your life. Anyone pregnant? getting married? in love? sick? loved one sick? etc.,
What has happened in your life in September and October? Anyone start their Christmas shopping yet?
I saw that Sparky on DOOL board lost her MIL, I am deeply grieved to hear that. I kept wondering in the hospital how she was doing.
I have an idea: We should pick 3 or 4 people on this board and give them our phone number and if anyone is sick or needs help, the person with our phone numbers can call the sick person and ask how they are and then can post their status on this board. This way no one will worry or if we live nearby, we can cook up something for them and their family. What do you think?
Actually, that may not be a good idea because in my case I wasn't home, I was in the hospital. So what good would having my phone number have done? DUH on me!!!! lol.
And who brings a laptop to the hospital when you go to the emergency room? Oh wait Doctor, I left my laptop at home, may I go back and get it? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL I'm bleeding to death, but I think I need my laptop (just having some fun here - it's about time I start laughing again).
Now it's time to slow down and save $$$ for birthday presents (both my nieces are in the next few weeks!) and then Christmas!!
Hi Donna~
First of all, I'm really glad that you are alright. As to what's been happening on my end, not much has happened significantly in the past couple months. I found out in late August that I am deploying with the Air Force to Germany in January for 4 months. I also started a weight loss/diet challenge with my friends, and I am trying to lose a certain amount of weight by the time I deploy by changing my eating habits for the better and ramping up the exercise (both cardio and strength training)...so far, I am doing well on that. I am losing weight consistently every week (going into week 3), but I had the flu this week, so I missed out on 5 days of exercise. I resume working out tomorrow.
I just celebrated my 33rd birthday this past Wednesday (the day I got sick...go figure!) Other than that, it's been pretty slow on my front. No personal news to share at this point, but with me leaving just around the corner, I am hesitant to get out there and meet a guy at this point. When I get back from Germany though...it's game on! LOL
Glad to see you back on the boards! :)

My aunt bought a house in Aspen so I have been up there a few times. My husband and I went away for 4 days BY OURSELVES!!!!! First time since we had kids. (my oldest is 8) My mother stayed with the kids. If you knew our history you would know what a landmark event this was!!! I have had a recurring kidney infection. Not good. I got a CT Scan last week. The IV kind. So we shall see what turns up.
I took my daughter to her first concert. Miley Cyrus. That was a trip! Today was my grandmother's 78th birthday so about 12 of us went to Pappadeaux. My dad and stepmother came up. We don't get to see them much.
My husband took my son to their first Y Guides campout. It was declared "The BEST weekend EVER". I'll say!!! Archery, horseback riding, smores, ghost stories, bonfire, sailing, hiking, BB guns! Oh and he found an arrow head. And a nugget of "gold" Surprise surprise! Each and every boy "found" his own piece of "gold"
Theres probably more.......

I've been super busy at work (counting my blessings.) I'm in two different mangement programs (which aren't part of my regular work) that i've been trying to do at home, but it is really difficult b/c the hubby gives me a hard time when I get on the computer after being on it all day long at work.
My son moved to New Orleans, and I've hardly heard from him since. I think he wanted to get far away from his family. I guess I can understand that at 25. I gave him a mini laptop for his birthday in September, but I haven't even gotten an email.
I lost my cell phone last month and really didn't care. I hate cell phones. However, since I still have to pay for the monthly plan until the plan is up, I decided to go ahead and replace it. I upgraded to a different model and got it on eBay. We'll see how it goes.
Hubby's work has been sporadic and it drives me crazy, but I'm just thankful that we aren't hurting ...economically. The rest of my family is in dire straights.
Just started doing my Christmas shopping, and so far, I've done all of it online. Had to warn hubby that we were going to start getting a lot of deliveries from UPS and that he'd better mind his own business!

I have been very busy re-doing my kitchen. I had someone put new flooring down. My friend and I removed the old (ugly) wallpaper and painted the walls, ceiling, and cabinets. It looks SO much better. I still have to do the upstairs bathroom, upstairs hall (not that big) and my back porch. It's been a lot of work, but now that I see results, I am impressed and happy. we've been working so hard I haven't been here as much as I'd like to. And now I was just asked by my brother to help paint his new garage. It's huge too. It's a mechanic's one that he will be using for his own business, so it's going to be a lot of work. But since it's getting cold and I haven't waxed my car or van for the winter, I need to use his warm garage, so I couldn't say no!!

Wow, Donna, I was really blown away to see what all you went through! I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm really glad to see that you're doing so much better.
I certainly had an exciting week in September. My sister and I flew to Paris and spent the week seeing the sights. What a spectacular place! I have started a blog about it and will be writing about it and posting my pictures for quite some time, I imagine. Here's the link:

I was in too much pain and discomfort in my arms and shoulders for weeks after I got back and will be posting soon about the reason. My sister kept a journal every day we were there and I just read it last night and discovered part of the reason why! I'll be writing about it this weekend.
Glad to see you back and feeling better!

Donna, glad you're feeling well enough to post. I see your sense of humor is still intact.
I turned 56 in October and am not, repeat NOT, pregnant! LOL. We've all been busy this fall with school, scouts, work, chorus, church, and the other usual jazz. With the exception of Mr. Tuff, who lives the life of Riley while the humans slave away. Earlier this fall I had quite the time with dental problems--root canal, oral surgery--but am thankfully done with that. My dad was recently in the hospital with pneumonia so I was keeping watch on him long-distance, and he's doing much better now. Mr. P just returned from 2 weeks in CA on business and we're glad to have him home. I've been busy with rehearsals for a choral concert next week, plus a piano assignment in church this weekend. Will gear up for Thanksgiving soon.
Take good care of yourself. : )

Donna, I'm glad you're feeling well enough to laugh again. It's good to have you back on the board.
Mr. Ingy got sick with the H1N1 which then led to a secondary lung infection. He was sick for about a month but fortunately could work from home so that he could rest when he needed and still get some hours in. He was past the infectious stage by the time my birthday hit, so we were still able to go out for dinner. By then, he was feeling a bit of cabin fever so it was good for him to get out. Other than that, just the usual.

Well, I'm too old to get pregant..lol! I am getting ready for another arts and crafts showcase at the clubhouse in my development. I've set out my best show pieces of artwork, in two "Omaha Steakhouse" boxes. I put in a large bag a few of my Irish cloth drawstring bags along with an idea I saw in a dream..aproms made of Irish Print cloth with pouches in the front..deep pockets. I've sewn cloth looping arround the neck part nothing to tie in the back..it just hangs free.
In a few days my husband turns the BIG 60! We have early dinner plans and coming home early for a party for him..most of the neighbors are coming. I hope my rowdy neighbors don't break anything..lol!
