booklovers! whatcha reading weekend~ 8/31-9/1-9/2

Happy Labor day weekend! Just an FYI: this weekend thread will include Monday, since it is the holiday, we all know the thread will be quiet.
Good morning.
Just getting light out, looks like a very nice day.

Anngie, I will fill you all in about DH later. The car just ticks me off, as I am so used to driving around during the day with my headlights on, so with one burnt out, I don't turn them on. DH used to be able to fix those on our vehicles, but with the way they build them now, it is next to impossible to do yourself.
Both of us get both shots, plus that shingles shot. 
Do I remember correctly, that you were going away for the weekend? Have a super time, you deserve it!!

Gareth, I have heard, and seen on TV, houses that go all out for Packer decorating. We have never been that over the top. That can get expensive. Then if the team has a bad year, (cough, cough...last year...), you are not happy with them, so then you have to look at all that stuff.
Oh dear! No hot water!! How did that turn out? Hope it didn't cost too much!!

Pinky, our mini vacay is the last weekend of Sept. We will actually go up there on Wed the 25th and stay thru Sunday morning. 
OMG! Have a super time at the wedding!!! I have never heard of dining room host/hostess at a wedding, I hope you can fill me in, next week.

Carol, well at least the eyes are not something that has to be taken care of right away. Do you notice anything strange with your vision?
You and I are the same, never had a mani or pedi, and most likely never will. Just does not interest me. For the little while my toes are exposed, I can do it myself, as for my fingernails, that would truly be a waste of money, as mine break so easy, or if I am under stress, I will chew off a few nails.
OMG! I remember the moon landing, my parents, my brother and I were on a cross country road trip, I think by then we were in AZ, when they landed, how exciting that news was!

Robin!!!! HAPPY WEDDING DAY!!!!! 

In between doing the house cleaning yesterday, my head was spinning, with what was going on with DH! His Urologist called, saying he talked to DH's Cardiologist, and what with DH just having that clot in his leg busted, DH can not go off his blood thinning med's for at least 2-3 months. So Urologist wants to do surgery anyway, even tho there will be a chance DH could bleed out. But to put the surgery off, means more tumors growing and growing larger. Urologist is confident he can stop the operation and get the bleeding under control. DH gave his permission to do the surgery. THEN! His back doctor called about the MRI results. The reason he has broken hardware, is the bone basically just gave way, as it thinned out to nothing. That doctor has talked to the Cardiologist and told DH he will not do surgery till after the 2-3 months, so he is sending DH to P.T. Crazy!!! Yes, I am very worried about that bladder surgery.

Since I have to get going, as I am meeting my sister at the Y, tomorrow I will fill you all in on my experience with WW yesterday. 

Have a super weekend!!

Gareth, were you the one to ask if it is too soon to get a flu shot? I am sorry if I am wrong, I just can't remember who asked.(Glad the water heater wasn't a major fix!!)
Anyway, for whoever asked, I know from working at the hospital, when the time finally came that they required employees to get the shot, we would usually get them in October-November. Since flu season lasts so long, I always wait till around the 1st of November. 

Good morning.
Clouds today, just like yesterday, but no rain, and high of around 70. Tuesday is supposed to be 79, but that is the only day going close to 80, so it looks like our warm summer might be over.

Gareth, not sure what P.T. will do to help DH, but I do know that it seems like when doctors are at a loss for what to do for a patient, they send them to P.T. Maybe to have other muscles learn how to work better, to take the load off? It is a mystery. 

Carol, that's too bad about your computer. I have that kind of bad luck with my laptop. Good luck, maybe it will pop back on today.

Robin and Pinky, how did the weddings go? 

Pinky, still wondering what a hostess at the dinner does?

We had a good time with our elderly friends. Then I got a good night's sleep so I am ready to go to the Y.

I won't bother with my issue with Weight Watchers, maybe tomorrow or Tuesday. I am giving it a few days, to see if things work out.

Have a nice Sunday.

Good morning.

Thoughts and prayers for all in the path of Dorian.

Partly cloudy here, I heard last night that we should be getting some strong storms late tonight, into the early morning. 

Gareth, that is a lot of money for the shot. I do not have the better coverage that DH has, as it is not needed, but my first shingles shot was only $50. DH paid the same. Yours was really high! I am waiting to get the from the pharmacy that the 2nd one is in. 

Can't wait to hear how the 2 weddings were, I am sure they were fabulous!

Too much eating this weekend, getting back to the program today.

Have a great Labor day!

I'm on my Kindle so this may be slow going.

As I remember the Shingles shot made both DH and my arms sore. Mine were free because of Medicare. I don't remember, but he has good insurance so I wouldn't be surprised if they were free,too.

Typical Sunday,church. We face-timed with DGS for over an hour. So fun,changing every day.

Anxious to hear about the weddings. I imagine Pinky and Robin are tired.

Hi Friends----I cannot believe September is here already, where did summer go??

Our nephews wedding was beautiful and and everything went without a glitch, well that I know of anyway. The brides family were very friendly and nice so it was a lovely weekend. So fun for our family to be all together and we have to appreciate this time together as you never know what could happen. This nephew that was married is DH's brothers son, and I have not mentioned DBIL in some time but he is the one battling cancer. He hangs in there but he is not getting better and is not expected to be cancer free, the cancer is just being managed. He has some pretty tough days but he is a trooper and keeps on moving forward. DMIL will be 86 in November and I see her frailness more all the time. She is still in her own home but thing very much about being in an assisted living home where she would have her own apartment. I feel bad for DH and his DSIS as it has to be hard knowing their mom and brother are failing.

Karen--surprised at never hearing of a dining room host and hostess, I need to remember not all areas do the same things. Typically the duties of the host and hostess would be to greet people at the reception doors and let the guests know if they may sit anywhere or if there is assigned seating. Also to help with location of restrooms and other important bits of info the guests would need like where the elevator is if there are steps that people cannot do and also to direct where gifts or cards can be left if the gift attendant misses someone, where the guest book is etc. especially for people that may have come in different entrances than the main one. Also if it is a buffet style dinner the H & H will instruct the different tables when it is their turn to fill their plates. At this wedding the waiters and waitresses brought the plates to the table. Also another job we had at this wedding that may not always be a job for some weddings is that the ceremony was outside so we were to help pick up guestbook, unity candles and a few other decor items that were to be used in the reception and get them in place. We also had to light all the candles on the tables for the reception before the guests were able to enter. Things like that---we were kept hopping but it was fun and by the time food was served our job was done. He did however help pick up things from the venue after and had much help from the brides aunts and uncles as well with that. Guessing when you asked this question you weren't expecting a novella---you know me I get to explaining and don't know when to quit, SORRY!!

Carol---on occasion we will have a problem with computer not connecting to the internet and obviously you had the computer off so this probably won't help but shutting down the computer and restarting sometimes fixes it, and if that doesn't we unplug our router and reboot that and that fixes it. Might be worth a try.

Gareth---I will be checking into And So It Begins, sounds like my kind of book. Who is the author in case there is more than one which happens quite frequently it seems?? Mexican food-----so yummy!!!

Anngie--guessing you are at the lake, hope the weather is behaving for you.

Robin---can't wait to hear about the wedding. I did see a couple of pictures on the FB WOW Booklovers page and you all looked stunning.

Yes I am keeping those in Dorian's path in my prayers. This crazy weather!

DD's family left yesterday afternoon, sad to see them go so quickly but with the baby and an extra day off for DSIL and the DGS's they were going to catch up on somethings at their house. Baby was wonderful at the wedding and can't believe he is already 3 weeks old and he has been to 2 weddings already. A gal that babysat for 2 older DGS's was married last weekend so he is already quite the adventurer.

Hope none of you have to labor to hard today!! Happy Labor Day!
