(((DC))),

Congrats!! Your dinner sounds yummy! I had chicken fajitas with corn and soymilk for dinner with a 6oz bowl of ice cream for dessert.

Hope you are having a good night!

For all of the taffy lovers in the world, you all should try this!

It is homemade taffy from the Great Smokey Mountains of TN..

I bought some several years ago when I was on vacation..

katsarecool · 10-17-2010, 07:08 PM

I am wandering in here in desperate need of a nice cup of coffee; very hot in a huge cup with hazelnut creamer thankyou very much... how is everyone doing tonight?

MountainStar · 10-18-2010, 06:04 AM

Good morning everyone! I have missed so much in the past three weeks, and will catch up reading everything later today and tomorrow....

So....I've been gone - to the hospital. Had to have an emergency knee operation and spent three weeks in there. I got home on Thursday afternoon and have spent the past few days just getting used to being home and working on regaining my strength.

I missed everyone in here very much...especially Mr. Prickly...but I am happy to be here now and on the mend.

Hugs to everyone and hope you have a great day today!

MS

Zimmeh · 10-18-2010, 03:31 PM

Good Afternoon MS,

Hope you are feeling a lot better! How long is your recovery period?

Hugs to you and have a good day!

Good to see you back MStar!

I hope your recovery is going well.

Zimmy, just keep up the good fight on the classes...you'll get there!

Scoote and I headed to the beach for some shell-hunting and a walk, so dinner was Taco Bell. Not the healthiest thing for me, but it was really good to have some time without the kids, just walking on the beach. Zillions of shells too...we literally ran out of daylight and didn't want to leave.

Called the moving company today to arrange my furniture delivery...hopefully they'll get it here close to closing day so we aren't sitting in an empty house too long.

Hugs to all.

Zimmeh · 10-18-2010, 08:44 PM

I am popping to say goodnight!!

I am going to be studying like a fool for the next 48 hours. Lisa had to take the baby back to the hospital tonight, his heart rate was over 200. As of right now, the dr's don't know what is causing this and we aren't sure when he is going to be coming home.

Hugs to all,

Zimmy

you are gaining strength every day honey.. and kicking physical therapies ass.. each day brings you a little closer.. and I think it was the best possible decision of all to come home and recoup and being happy around your own house and the things within it.. especially the wee Wonder dog.. I love you .. and I am so very proud of you.. through all of this..

Mr. Prickly

Good afternoon/evening everyone! I thought I would make some dinner for us....and I am still not up to full cookering...but I do have some awesome spaghetti sauce left over in the freezer...so how about some pasta with a meat sauce, a Cesar salad and Italian bread? I bet my Guy will like that *smile*

As for me...on the mend slowly slowly...this whole thing just happened out of the blue. I am missing a trip I was planning since last March, and time with Jake, and lost my job. Everything happens for a reason and I need to keep positive about things and things WILL work out.

Well my ride to the store is here so I should run....talk to you later!

Enjoy!
