    Clucky, I sent out a FB message last night. I should have included you. Em is writing a research paper on marching band personality stereotypes. “all drummers are ___________, or all flute players are ____________” If you (or anyone else) has any recollections or opinions to share, she would appreciate it. She was wondering if the stereotypes were there when her dad and I were in band. Duh! I told some stories and told her I’d try to get some more from the old days (before all those stories and pictures [that were never taken but should have been] could be shared on social media).

    Sorry I missed all the chatter yesterday. It’s busy in the office with Mrs. Mac gone.

    Morning, all! My Poppy Seed Pound Cake is in the oven. I have to take desert to church tonight and haven’t made one of those in a while.

    Everyone enjoy some blue berry muffins (not home baked) but good. They had some real healthy muffins and thought these were healthy enough.

    Mornin. Thanks for the muffin. Poppy Seed Pound Cake sounds good, too. Hubby is on a health kick (for the first time in his life), so I guess my baking days are over for a while. He had his annual check up this week and the doctor actually got through to him. (He only goes to the dr. because he works for Blue Cross and they force him to.) The doctor has been after him for years to lose weight and lower his cholesterol. He would respond by eating an entire large pizza while kicked back watching tv. This time, though, his glucose level was also very high. Now, he’s trying to eat right and getting some exercise. I hope it lasts. As long as he is doing these things, I’ll be better at it, too. We went for a long walk last night and plan to make that a habit.

    MsB I know you have to be anxious with the wedding this weekend, prayers that it will be as perfect a day as it can be. Try to enjoy the day and savor the moments.

    Cluckys coffee must have put her to sleep?

    I was hungry for lunch now just really don’t think I care, thanks to a perfectionist in their own mind.

    Way to go, Molly!! My Mom’s baby sister that lives here in town was recently diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic. She is not a happy camper. (She was at our wedding) Between my weight gain, lack of activity and family history, I am going to have to make a way to exercise. My best friend is a teeny-tiny FNP (the one the saved my life re:thyroid) and has offered to bike, walk, whatever with me to get me to go. I’m ashamed because I know she’s working 10 hour days at the clinic and has two boys at home-luckily her husband is Mr Mom and takes care of everything except her job. Her house is huge-we’ve discussed all of us moving into their house-LOL. Their Great Danes (2) and English Mastiff (1) find cats to be tasty snacks, so…I don’t think so. But it suuuure is tempting. Sigh. Then again, maybe she needs girl time-all those boys and she’s the only female. Certain times of the month, I’m tempted to send her a temporary daughter. *snort*

    Mr. H has started running and has dropped lots of pounds. He runs MWF and goes to the gym on TT. I had been using our rowing machine, but my shoulder started hurting, so I walked this morning. I remembered that Em had been working on her paper (see above) last night and since the printer is now disconnected and buried in the (unlivable) living room, I cut the walk a lap short and came in to excavate the printer. The girls had to leave quite a bit early this morning. Dr. T decided to spend some time with the upper classmen and they all met up at Hardee’s for breakfast and bible study before school. He had 13 show up!

    Afternoonl The early bird already got the worm and this bird is flitting in late. Been busy this morning. Got almost everything done on my business list, now to tackle the other list. But I feel a trip to the aspirin and ibuprofin bottle coming on first. I’ve tried to wait out this pain, but instead of getting duller … Okay enough about that.

    Clouds are sailing in today. My son came home to get some tools (drove an hour mind you) so he could drive back to Booneville and help do yard work for this lady who lives in my cousin’s neighborhood who has brain cancer. They wanted to give her a surprise yard overdoo and decorating. *sniff* I’m proud of that boy.

    MrsH that is a good turn out for DrT. If he was to keep doing it he may even get more.

    CLady that is so cool for your son to be apart of.

    I did have some veggies for lunch after I was totally upset this morning. The two together equals nap time needed.

    Below is what my daughter posted on FB a little while ago. She made me cry.

    “Tomorrow is the big day for my loving, strong, inspiring daddy…hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of this long and grueling battle that he has been fighting mercilessly. He will undergo 8 days of the strongest and most intensive chemo he has ever gone through, and then they will perform the bone marrow/stem cell transplant which will begin the process of bringing him back to life, hopefully with no more cancer present. I am used to seeing my parents at least a couple of times a week, but now I will have to go over three months without seeing my daddy (and possibly my mom, due to the risk of exposure), as he is brought “to the edge of death” and then revived, all the while my amazing mom is right by his side fighting with him. My baby brother is over 200 miles away, but we are connected at the heart! Daddy, stay strong! Fight for your life! And, after the end of this final battle, come back to us better than before! Prayers, prayers, prayers are greatly appreciated!!!”

    I’ll pop in here with updates as I can. Love & hugs to all!

      And, if this isn’t enough, my daughter & her family just lost their sweet, little Pomeranian. It takes a real cruel, heartless, low-down person to give a dog rat poison!! She died suffering greatly and the person that did this should be made to suffer like she did! My daughter & SIL are devastated and dreading telling the kids. :(

      So sorry to hear of the cruelty to their little member of the family, how heartless some can be.

    Hello everyone,
    CP, I have no words just love. Please lean on us when times are overwhelming. The wonderful thing about this group is that we may not always be posting but we are always thinking of our MRBA friends. And, we do have some crazy schedules. (Clucky, I am referring to your insomnia).

    Evenin!

    CornPop, you know my prayers are with you and Orville and the rest of the family. I’m so sorry to hear about the pup. There’s a special place in hell for folks that would do that kind of thing.

    Found out tonight that Peanut got stepped on at school the other day and now has a severely bruised Achilles (sp?) tendon. She won’t be able to play in her soccer tournament this weekend, and she won’t be able to do the Color Run next weekend in Memphis. BUT, me and Baby Girl are going to make sure she has a good time and get’s LOTS of color on her, even if she can’t walk it! It’s all going to be okay.

    The Fall Flower Festival IS this weekend in CS. http://msucares.com/fallfest/
    I’m going to plan on going Saturday. Hoping Baby Girl is going to be able to join me. If any of you good people are interested, come on down!
