Gorgeous morning here too. I have a sunrise photo which I need to resize so I can post. (Note to self: Get a photo website so you can just post the link!)
Yesterday's sale went well and the Cemetery Board is solvent again. Our problem is that not enough people are dying and need to buy plots! I have mine, by the way, and am planning a fall picnic sitting on it with the Doggage.
Mamacita, the Girls are fine. Lucy fooled me and is NOT in heat! I think the spot was from a paw cut or something. She will probably "come in" in mid-August when she is officially due.
KimberleyLeslie, hang in there. Eat clean and the weight will drop.
Leslie, furry baby duties can be onerous but you are earning yourself points as the Mother Theresa of the animal world.
Hang in there! It sounds as if they are starting to figure out the kitty litter routine.
Beach Bum, your DS is right. Ignore the scale and go for a long walk on the beach. I wish I could join you with The Girls. They are very talented at finding smelly things on beaches.
Artemis, being less than 90 miles from the sea is one of the many things I loved about England.
Eleni, stay cool as possible. Isn't AC a blessing? I'm glad you are feeling better.
Soon, I'm sorry about the family reunion but it sounds as if you and your friend will have a mutually supportive weekend. Traditional gatherings are so hard in the year that someone has died. ((Soon))
Cheesequeen, the weightloss does slow down and that is healthy. As to the Italian foodfest, I would only suggest thinking of the bread and pasta as made of white maggots - that may help!
Barb, I am so impressed by all the working out you do. My paltry 10 minutes on the treadmill looks so pathetic. Your Charleston trip sound like it will be a good one foodwise. It's nice to have someone else who understands this lifestyle.
Pearshape, risotto made of cauliflower? Please do post the recipe and give the cookbook name for us. I made a crockpot cacciatore to freeze yesterday as I love having a company meal in the freezer. The risotto might be just the thing to serve with it. All I know about Xanthum gum is that xanthum means yellow! I must look it up.
We have a joint Parish Service at 10:30 this morning which sort of screws up the morning. There is a "lunch" afterwards which I will skip. It will be carb loaded with macaroni and potato salad and gooey desserts and I've started just avoiding these affairs. I sometimes just go down and socailize a bit, leaving before the buffet line-up starts. This afternoon I'll either do some gardening or work indoors depending on the weather. I love having my AC when it's too hot outdoors.
Have a super Sunday, Chickies.
It sure is quiet around here on the weekends!
