Morning,
Ruth! It sounds lovely there...perfect for a cup of coffee with a quilt 'round your shoulders.
I slept under the "cloud" last night (our down comforter) and wore my flannel pajamas. It was a bit too much after all, but it was cozy while I was asleep. I feel like I dug my way out of a tunnel to wake up this morning! Do the girls look cute in their summer cuts? You know, this is a perfect time to take shots of them and preserve their cuteness (and, of course, share them with us...
). I agree, hon...don't let them release Harry until Monday. Much better that way.
Stay away from the buffet, chica!
Ellis, you sound super cozy too! I love days in the high 60's/low 70's. Perfect! It's raining here...nothing crazy, just regular spring rain.
: I love it! I'm wearing my "Spring Rain" perfume from Crabtree & Evelyn for maybe the last time this season...Summer is coming next Tuesday! Glad your day is fairly free. Hope lunch with Mom is good and pleasant.
Bamie, where's your new job? Glad you took some time to loaf. It's nice to have that in the a.m. even if it means running around later.
Schatzi, I love your avatar...it makes me laugh!
I'm a total 'you-know-what' when it's hot and humid.
Feel free to post questions in the gardening thread...that doesn't mean you can't post them here, but if you put them there, more people will notice them.
Wish I could help...I've never had peonies.
I take it you're selling your house? Do you have a new place picked out? DH wouldn't like living in CA, then...no one has basements there!
Anchor, here's hoping that you hear about the mammogram sooner than later!
Love hearing about your love life. Stay away from x, but enjoy the scenery, okay?
And I hear you on e-mails helping you stay on your diet when you're interested in someone, but a guy with a girlfriend (or looking to hop from one to another) is bad news....be careful, okay? Good luck with shy guy...he sounds darling!
I hear you on the losing pounds you already lost.
You can do it!
FlMom, CONGRATS on getting to 180!
What a wonderful birthday gift to yourself...getting healthy and strong!
Happy Birthday! Hope it's a wonderful one. You're a great wife to support your DH in this change...I hope that he's safe no matter what he decides.
Gryff, flavored coffee beans are fine. If it's ground or comes in a can, check the ingredients to make sure sugar isn't added, but I doubt it is. With dressings, try to get ones that have sugar as a fourth or lower ingredient. Ingredients are listed in the order of how much of them are in the item. So the first three are the biggest components of the mix, if that makes sense. But yes, even if sugar is in the list of ingredients, as long as it has 3g of sugar or less, it's fine. Try to stay away from 'high fructose corn syrup' as it has a really strong effect on your blood sugar. Dextrose, sugar, etc. is better.
Barb, you are having such fun and making me miss my time as a counselor at Girl Scout camp!
I hear you on the heat...but it's a dry heat, right?
I hear that it's 107 in Arizona, so at least you aren't the hottest ones. Although perhaps anything over 100 is d@mn hot?
A friend of mine says that anything under 0 degrees is just d@mn cold...no need to differentiate.
Me:
Okay, serious weirdness. I'm going through some hard times right now, and I managed to have three starches on Sunday. (usually I treat myself to 2 each Sunday and it doesn't bother my weightloss, but THREE???
). The scale went down! Then I had an extra starch yesterday and the scale went even further this morning!
I'm still having problems with zeroing it, so I wonder if maybe it might be that...but I'm not sure.
I hope that I can make it to Jazzercise tonight. I actually forgot about exercising or gardening yesterday, can you believe it?
I swear I've lost most of my memory! I had a therapy appt., then I made dinner, talked with DH, and before I knew it, it was almost time for bed. Where did the time go? If I have time after Jazzercise today, I'll get the bed prepared. Then maybe I can get the flowers in on Sunday?
Wet and rainy day here and lots of work to do. There's also the farmer's market at lunch...if the rain lets up, I'll go. The local candlemaker (chandler?) has kept a small candle for me...it smells like the ocean and I'd love to get it! It'd be nice to get some produce too, but this early in the season, there isn't much.
Have a great day, chickies! Stay cool!
