~I'M RUNNING AS FAST AS I CAN~

No...make that...eating as fast as I can!!
This morning, after a very hard day yesterday, I was off to my last test...at least for now. Medication is gone and I can now eat again..but no appetite. Of course silly me tried to start off with a big hamburger and a hot mocha coffee AND a cinnimon roll. I got the hamburger down..barely..two sips of the coffee and two bites of the roll and I felt horrible! LOL Wouldn't you know I would attempt to stuff myself the first chance I got...so..it is now back to the milk toast and cream of wheat and building up to normal.
NOW I am having "eaters regrets!" :)
If you consider the fact that I had SEVEN children because I loved babies and everything I do, almost, is done a wee to excess. A wee? :)
So..back to bland (yuk) meals.

Now...when I came on and read my sweet comments..I saw that Bella Vista is having a most wonderful giveaway! You must hop over and see the lovely things she is giving away!
Delightful things! She has a most beautiful and interesting blog if you have not found her yet!

NOT only is Barb at BELLA VISTA have a wonderful GIVEAWAY but she is also having a most wonderful Rooster Party! We get to show off our ROOSTERS! I cannot wait!!


Have a wonderful Thursday and rest of the week. I am off to try and catch up on my sweet fellow bloggers! How I have missed you all!

~Smiles and love~

  3. Mona, I'm glad you are getting a little better. I'd say that craving a hamburger is a very good sign. Maybe just a couple of bites next time. :)

  27. Hello, Sweet Mona..oh, my...yes, I would think baby steps are in order for the eating..after all you have been thru, I am sure that hamburger did it's number on you. Slow and easy will get you where you want to be, I'm sure.
    Oh, yes, I am excited about the rooster party. I can hardly wait to see all the feathers flying in Blogland. I already have my post all ready..but, I keep finding another rooster here or there and have to rework my silly post.
    So glad you are feeling better..

  33. Dear Mona, Take care of yourself by going at things slowly. You'll start to feel better one step at a time. No more pigging out! LOL I like cream of wheat but every day would be a bit much. We will all have so much to see when the rooster party comes around, won't we?

  39. Hey Mona! I'm on my lunch hour. I usually start at the top of my blog list so by the time I get to you may lunch hour is over. I decided to start at the bottom today :-) so you are first.

    I need to join this party. It's going to be one big party.

    John's been laid off and is looking for work. I'm working and looking for less work. heehee!

    Same ol' thing here with me and my. Nothing new really. Good days and bad. I see my GYN on the 27th and I'm going to see if I can get my parts removed. It's becoming so difficult. We'll see.

    Hope you are doing alright. Hugs!!
