Wednesday's Web News! *(Chat)

[jenne1017]

Sorry no time for individuals (you chicks sure can chatter!!!) Had to pick the baby up from the vet. She got spayed yesterday and is freaking out about the soft collar around her neck. Plus, the other two cats are hissing at her like they get paid for it (at least someone would be making a salary )

Hope you have a good day everyone. I am off to nap maybe then when DW gets home we switch off and I get to go food shopping/bank.

Good Morning, nope, Afternoon!

I had my yearly physical this morning. Hooray, a pap smear! <sarcasm> I saw a new doctor. She said something interesting -- as a 40 year old woman, the most important suppliment I can take is calcium with vitamin D. Low thyroid symptoms are sometimes just a vitamin D deficiency. I didn't know! Last year, my bloodwork was off --LDL, HDL, and Triglyceride counts all high. I'm interested in seeing what they are this year after being on SBD.

Hope you all have a great rest of your day!

Afternoon, girls.

bad news on our front today - found out that SIL and her husband are divorcing...I can't say it is a surprise, but it is still sad. I told DH that we *have* to stay together now....even if just out of spite

Both kids are doing well - Connor slept for 6 hours last night! Going to Barnes and Noble this afternoon so Calvin can play and I can pick up a new copy of Babywise - I lent mine to a friend and cannot remember which one.

Have a great afternoon, ladies!

Zeff, My hubby and I say we stay together because neither of us wants custody. I remember when Auston slept for 6 hours the first time. When I woke up, I ran though the house like a fool to make sure he was breathing. Sheesh!

Gonna, I'm glad to hear your soon-to-be baby girl is doing much better. I will continue to keep her in my prayers, and thank you for keeping us updated.

Schmoodle, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's bad news, and I'll say a prayer for her, too.

Good evening chickies! I was running late for work this morning so no time for even a quick check in! I haveput down my curtains in the bedroom and they block out almost 100% of the light- this turns out it may be a bad thing!!!! I can't wake up in the am!

Lorie- glad the job is no longer posted.

Cyndi- Glad dp likes her new job!! I wish I could find one that was great! or go back to school! I dont' know of any great new recipes to share with you but tonight I made some cabbage soup with rotel, cabbage, and crumblers that was real good- you could probably use the soy chorizo instead of the crumblers and it would be even better! Also, you ever make a veggie shepards pie? thats super yummy too! I like mine with lentils!

Ruth-I am hoping to find a program around here that will bring us fresh produce in the summer! And I would really like to extend my garden this year from just the peppers, tomatoes and herbs I grew last summer!

Cottage- Hope you got some time curled upo in front of the fire with your book- that sounds sooo nice!

Pacer- thats great your son got to experience yesterday first hand!!! How awesome is it that soooo many young people are involved! Sure shows lots of potential for their generation!

Schmoodle- SO sorry to hear about your friend- I will keep her in my prayers~

Laurie- whats a food group? Hope you had fun at it anyways!!!!

Sophie- thanks for the pumpkin oatmeal recipe! Sounds great! I think I may try to put a tablespoon of lf cream cheese in it sometime too as a treat!

Heather- Hope you enjoyed your piece of cake! I know it feels bad when we give in sometimes but sounds like you are right back on it today and thats the best we can do sometimes!!! Have a great OP day!

Gonnabe- Thats great news!!! Will continue to pray for the precious baby!

wish4- glad you joined us in the chatty cathy section! LOL...

Barb- sending good vibes your way and for the lawyer!

jenn hope you enjoyed your day!

Chelby- Hope all your test results come back normal! I am anxious to see how they are for you or the difference since you have been on SB

zeff-- whoo hoooo 6 hours! Too bad about SIL. you're too funny!

as for me, today was a long boring day at work and tomorrow promises to be the same. ugh. Didn't get to workout today so I will try to go in the morning before I have to go to work at 11. about 4:00 I realized I was starving at work and caved to the trail mix we keep there!!! I ate about a 1/3 c and thats probably a lot of calories and useless sugar... lots of nuts in there too but lots of dried fruits and a few chocolates as well... still managed to stay under 1400 calories though even with my fake "blizzard" dessert... but maybe the mix caused cravings because I wouldn't normally put a tbs of chocolate chips in it! I will be better tomorrow I promise... but all things considered I think I did pretty good today! Made a big batch of soup for the rest of my lunches for the week... now to put some laundry in! Have a good night ladies!

Rikki -- Tell me about a fake blizzard dessert, please.

[rdw1]

Take 1c milk and 1/2oz fat free sugar free pudding mix(1/2 pkg) plus 1c ice and blend in bleder until smooth~!! I think my favorite is just the vanilla but I made chocolate the other night with a couple tablespoons strong coffee in it and it was delish too!!! BUT, this makes a lot. I usually only make half the recipe... sometimes it requires an extra splash of milk to blend well... I topped mine with a tbs of mini chocolate chips tonight and it was sooooo good!

tip- blend milk and pudding together a bit first then add the ice!

Enjoy!

I'm finally getting caught up on some of my scouting stuff. I designed an 11x17 placemat that we can give to the packs to use at their Blue & Gold Banquets. It advertises our Twilight Camp that I'm camp director for in June. I also finished the 8 page Gazette that I need for the 31st of this month except for the course director's article and I sent him another reminder that I need it. And we scheduled a registration/website meeting for next week. I got the good news that last year's registrar will help out again this year. Yeah!!! I've still got to work on the budget but my next meeting on that isn't until next week so I have some time.

I'm starting a new project at work tomorrow and don't expect to have much free time.

[zeffryn]

Rikki, that sounds freakin' awesome.

i'm craving something....I can't really put my finger on it, though.
