non-boring

Only thing is, somebody has to say something to make it a conversation.

    I got a call today to be a standby fill-in at the YWCA after the Healthy
    Eating Luncheon tomorrow. It’s National Diabetes Awareness Month and they
    are confused by the note left by the person who is doing the *before*
    program. Not sure about *after.* I have to get my already-prepared speech
    together to take with me for that just in case. They are going to feed me
    (that will save me $4. 8^)
    So, I’m going to go rest so I’ll be fresh and beautiful in the a.m. HA!

    mood. Wonder how Marius is doing today. Iris seems to be doing good. So
    does Becki and Christine. Anyway I was just chattin!!!! Hugs Shelia :O)

    Thanks for asking, Shelia.
    Well, I did do that speech at the Y. About 25 were there. They had a
    Diabetes Educator talk about feet at 11:30, we had Thanksgiving dinner -
    healthy style, then I talked at about 1:15. I forgot to keep track of time.
    Director said to watch if they fall asleep (after lunch) and wing it from
    there. One lady did nod off immediately and I figured she may have had a
    somewhat high BG (just a few T-2’s there - rest non-diabetics). I was the
    youngest one, I believe (60). If more than that fell asleep, w e l l l l ,
    But, they indicated they loved me and some asked for a card so I gave them a
    whole flyer (pure propaganda). They were really fascinated with my pump (I
    am too). I taught them how to make wise choices for holiday meals. I have a
    poster that shows:
    tennis ball = 1/2 cup serving
    ping pong ball = 1 oz. cheese
    deck of cards = 3 oz. boneless chicken

    large-size mayonnaise jar lid = 3 oz. cooked hamburger
    fist = 1 cup serving
    I also showed that using a plate with a rim or edge decoration is wiser
    and to keep the food off the rim/trim. They can control portions better
    without making an announcement to those who don’t give a hoot.
    It’s interesting that the highly-educated speaker had lots of annnnndss
    and ummms, but Iris can appreciate the difference a Toastmasters-trained
    speaker makes. Iris, did you know that some of the astronauts joined TM so
    when they were interviewed they would know how to handle it? And, so do some
    of the Miss America contestants.
    SON IS DRIVING A CAR!! I just received an e-mail saying that he and his
    9-month old Hannah are both crawling and exploring their worlds. 8^)
    We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!! My neck/head is
    bothering me from my fall 9/23 and slamming into my curlers on the driveway.
    But It’s so minor compared to his tumble from that 2-story building
    9/27!!!!! Mr. Jan’s forehead doesn’t hardly even show a scar from those
    stitches he had 9/28, either! PTL!
    Let’s see how Marius (I mean whassisname) can mess with all the above
    tomorrow when he gets back. 8^)
    Ask a simple Q - and you know what you get from me!!

    Yes Jan I agree, you do have much to be thankful for. God is good. I am so
    thankful that I got to see my mom again this past October. She was healthy
    when I moved here but within six months she was ill. I was really worried

    about that when I moved since she is going to be 75 on 12/7. I worried I
    would not have the finances to travel to see her but once again God has
    provided.
    I am happy to her that your son and his daughter are crawling together! :~)
    I knew you would give a great speech. You do have a way with words. Now let’s
    see what way Marius has with your words tomorrow!!!
    Hugs,
    Christine

    You know Jan, I do not know what you look like but I can see you smiling.
    Things are getting better for you I can tell. I never heard of Toastmasters.
    Sounds like a really good organization. I am so excited about your son. He
    is definately a Praise the Lord. I think we all really have alot to be
    thankful for. I am looking forward in going into the new millineum almost
    debt free and boy is that a good feeling knowing I don’t have to work anymore

    and not worry about the money. My hubby is so special and works so hard, he
    is truly my hero. I am very grateful I found this list. It has helped me get
    through alot, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday to come and will be
    happy. Hugs Shelia :O)

    << Shelia it sounds like you and your husband have done a wonderful job
    raising
    your son up in the way he should go! PTL! It is so very hard these days.
    Thankyou Christine, he is truly a blessing for us. But being a Christian
    youth can be challenging as you know. The world is not always a pleasant
    place especially for our kids. We just have to keep lifing them up and
    loving them. Hugs Shelia :O)
