LC, you sweetheart!
I've always been a tea drinker, but especially so on the beach...it seems to quell my sweet tooth! I have eight boxes of tea in my desk at work, and countless more at home.
I think it's an obsession!
Mama, I'm with you...I'm thrilled that it's the weekend, but I have a huge paper to write, so that's not as thrilling.
Have a blast with Bamie...can't wait to see two pics of your gorgeous chicks!
Your toast sounds so good...I can't wait to eat more than one starch each day!
Cottage, that is one enviable-sounding day! <wistful> Have fun!!!
Bamie, have a great vacation and enjoy meeting Mama! Don't forget pictures... and when you get back, I'd love the recipe for the zucchini lasagna...sounds yummy!
Nally, could the class pictures be to blame for your grouchiness? I know that would make me grouchy!
I hope today is much better!
Enjoy the shower and hair cut!
Ellis, your day sounds great too! I can't wait to quit working and stay at home!
I hope things go better with DD's psychi...
Why does tea make you sick? All tea, or is herb tea okay?
Taz, congrats on the 6 lbs!!!
That's great news, and you certainly deserve some!
Ruth, no wonder you're sick of cooking! That's a lot of work! What do you feed the dogs? My mom used to make a carrot/egg/brown rice combo for our dog who had tons of allergies. Do you do the BARF diet with the dogs?
Sorry, that name always makes me laugh.
What's the deal with the wine...does someone you know own a vineyard? And what is tourtiere?
Rayneysmom, congrats on the jeans!!! Sorry about the sleep...hope you can convince DH to give you a break on Saturday and take Rayney somewhere so you can get a nap!
Amb_lyn, you may want to Phase 1 it for a day or two to get back on track. So glad the baby's birthday went well!
Me:
Well, the scale went down to 220 today!
I'm thrilled, but a bit irritated with myself for not going to the gym today. I was exhausted and after tons of "Downward Dog" in Yoga on Wednesday and arm workouts at Jazzercise yesterday, I didn't think I could do the beginning of my "hard" week for weights.
I'll try to fit in Pilates tomorrow to get my body moving.
Lots to do...I have a paper to write for Monday, and my usual reading and homework. Tomorrow is DH's birthday. He's a low-key guy and doesn't usually want any fuss. I'm going to make a german meal we had earlier this year that he liked. It sounds weird, but is good...lean slices of beef wrapped around dill pickles with turkey bacon and a dark brown sauce. I'll make WW spaetzle with it and some braised cabbage and onions. I'll try to make an SBD-friendly apple crisp for dessert and we can either make some SF vanilla ice cream or we can buy some of the carb options kind as a one-time treat. Should be a nice evening.
Have a great weekend, chickies!
Friday Chick Chat.
which is not traditional breakfast fare in my opinion. Maybe I can snitch a piece for Harry's lunch. I'm getting sick of cooking after making two roast chickens and a cauldron of ham and pea soup for Peter's family. I think we may have burgers for dinner and use the barbie if it doesn't turn really cold again. The deck is nearly clear and should dry if it's sunny today.
. This has been the LONGEST week for me. I guess because I've not had very much sleep. 
Very grumpy according to the DH. I told him if he had to stay up with Rayney all night long - he'd be grumpy too.....MEN!! 
. Oh well.
