Hi, were neighbors! I live in Homeland just past Winchester on your way to Perris. I go into Hemet all the time for appts and shopping (cuz you have such a big mall)
Terry Feder Oh how cool. I wanted to see him when he was here at one of the local casinos, but they sold out instantly. We watched every single of America's got Talent.
I have been considering making Spanish Rice with
brown rice, I just need to use up the 3 or 4 bags of regular rice I somehow have currently. Heaven forbid I throw it away.

I will be cleaning up the house a bit today also. Both my guys are off to play with there friends, so I am home alone. I need to stay busy so I don't get the boredom munchies. They don't know it but they are leaving me in a house with an open bag of
cheddar cheese mini rice cakes. A serving is 9 cakes, and I do well when I take them to work in a baggie. But here, unsupervised... I don't know. They are my
kryptonite no, maybe... crack is more like it. I can stay away from the sweet snacks but the salty now that's a different story.
I hear ya on the money tight thing. We only get paid once a month and the last week is always tight. To top it off it is my baby's birthday Thursday (he'll be 19) We spent way over 200 on an Ipod for him. But, yesterday I was able to pick up the fixings for tacos, his favorite dinner.
That's a good question.. any tips out there for preserving fresh
veggies and fruits to last till the end of the month? Seems like we eat a lot of processed food the last week of the month cuz it's cheep and has a shelf life till dooms day.
Anyway how goes the kitty sitting?

Way to go at the birthday potluck luncheon. You get the
Will Power Award this week. Social situations are very scary when you are working on a weight loss goal. You should be so proud of yourself. I did not do so well, I gave in on Wednesday at the classifed luncheon. I already had a granola bar for 4 points around 12:30 and I was going to my WW meeting to have dinner around 6:30. So I totaly did not need to eat. But I did...I had a rib-a-que without the bun and a salad with light Italian dressing and two diet sodas. I did make a quick get a way before ther cut the retirment cake.
Sunday is my DH's stepdad's birthday and he wants homemade waffles with all the trimmings. My plan of attack is to have my special K waffles and sugar free syurp, with maybe a few strawberries on the side. to get in a fruit serving.
Monday's dinner will be just us so no big deal, I probably have a smart ones frozen dinner. Also Monday will be the first day I extend my walk to 3 miles. I wonder how long it will take. This week I've been doing 2.46
(come on call it 2.5) and it takes about 60 min.
So my
Turtle friends BBQ season is just before us
We can do this
go for the
watermelon it has fiber
(i think)
