More pics to share


Well, here is a more recent pic of me.....actually taken this last Friday, Feb. 29,2008. The shirt is an early birthday present from my hubby with Tinkerbelle on the front and the jeans are my first ones i have bought myself since loosing weight. It is really nice to be able to go to Walmart and buy them off the rack and get them to fit. Not sure if I have said this recently but i am almost to having lost 100 lbs since July25th.

GO ME!!!!!

The thing on my arm and hand is because of Arthur, fibromyalgia and carpel tunnel all hitting at the same time.....which is also why I am up at this time of night/morning. We have a storm front just south of us and it is hurting me so bad tonight. I just took more pain meds so hopefully it will kick in here soon or I will need to go find both of my wrist/thumb things to put on. Can't do much for the lower half of the body that hurts but wait for the meds to kick in....amazing what you can do with one hand and using the hunt and peck system!!
These pics are of some of the thousands of geese we have seen this year flying overhead. It is very cool listening to them of a morning as they seem to head South for the day and then of an evening when the head back North for the night. There have been some flocks that you couldn't see in the sky until the sun hit them just right as they were all snow geese. This group were all trying to land in a small area just in front of a house here in the outskirts of town, there was a small pond in front of the house.




We are pretty sure that back in January we saw
eagle overhead soaring. One of our friends here in the building said he'd seen it too and was really sure that was what it was. It stayed around for about a week but it has been too cold to watch for it most of last month. It could still be around but we wouldn't know it.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday while the weather was so nice, we listened to several songbirds while we had the windows open. However, today we froze and wore extra clothes and heavy coats. I prefer the warmer weather!!


Okay, meds are kicking in.....back to trying to sleep again. Night!

Can't believe it has been so long......

Hello to all, hope this finds you all doing good and either having not had the flu or over it!! So far we have been blessed and haven't had the flu but the Fibromyalgia has been almost as bad as having it. Scott and i both have this but we are at different points in how we are affected by it. Of course it has my left side just throbbing most of the time.....my left side is the side to have something happen to it before any other part of my body.

Right now Scott is telling me what the weather is saying it will be doing tonight and tomorrow.....I liked it better today when we could sit out in the patio area and enjoy the out doors. Rain and possible snow........way to go March.....true to form! At least we were able to open the windows the last couple days and air out the house.......of course tomorrow I need to go thru and water all of the plants now since the wind dried everything out. After i finish this I will be making another entry to add some pics that we have taken of my Christmas Cactus still blooming their heads off. Ahhh let me just add them now.......

If ya look good at at least one of them you will see my ceramic toad peeking out from under the plant......he just looks so normal in there. I do have a smaller cactus plant that is blooming it's head off too but it is the same color as this one. I do have some other pics I will add over the next few days that we have taken but right now I am so hot I have to go find a cooler room. This happens after i have had some protein drink.
