Oh, Mauvais... my DH makes the best shwarmas! Aren't they wicked? Have you ever got them from Shwarma King on Bank? The chicken take out is the best... they give you pickled turnip with it. And this wicked garlic sauce with the rice. yummm!!

A shwarma sounds interesting I think.


I thought Ikea was furniture...... why do they sell tarts?


I think I am going to start with my new years resolutions in Dec. Probably for my birthday. After I get a few other things sorted out.

Yeah, Ellis, Shwarma King rocks!

Squeak- there is a restaurant in Ikea that serves sandwiches and cakes, and Swedish food. The meatballs are amazing and the food is good and cheap. DH and I both had a medium size plate of meatballs with new potatos, a slice of wheat bread, gravy, lingonberry sauce, tea, coffee and and an almond tart all for less than $20.00! We were stuffed!

YOU ARE ALL MAKING ME HUNGRY!!!!

Huh, doesn't take much to make YOU hungry!
(or me... stop it girls)

grrr! I managed to be good all week and then blew it on the weekend! Between party munchies and dim sum I undid any good I did do during the week. Must behave this week!

Mauvais-At least you are having a good week!! I am still at the "have a good day and then blow it at night" stage. Ate chips after my Mammogram last night.....

hey sweetie.. how was the mammogram? Are you all puffed up again?
Listen, try eating cereal with no fat milk. That's my latest trick.

The Mammogram was wonderful. Wish I could have another tonight!!! (HA!!!)
The kids finished up the chips tonight, so that is one less thing in the house for me to eat!!!

My HANDS are puffed up!! I have been working like crazy for the art show this weekend, and my carpal tunnel syndrome is starting to act up. Also, I was making my "quilt pins", which I sew with wire, and my hands are mangled from pulling the wire tight repeatedly. OH! How we suffer for art.....
(snicker)

I just can't wait for a Mammogram. Went to the gyn today and I am very very very thankful I only have to go once a year. It is the worst 2 minutes (or how ever long the exam actually lasts) of the year.

Den - don't suffer TOO much for your art, otherwise it you may not be able to do it at all.

I can't believe I had pancakes for dinner tonight At least they were whole wheat and sugar free.

Speaking of art...me and my best GF are going to a Gallery glass class on Thursday night. We met afterwork today to buy the supplies we needed. I can't wait! Some of the projects I have see look like real stained glass.

Hope your mammogram results are good Den. Take care of your hands tonight so you will have them in good shape for the weekend.

why, what's she doing on the weekend besides having sex with her DH? Does she need hands for that?

I like your new quote, Mauvais. And your glass class is going to be so much fun!

Den, you've got good teeth. Use THEM to pull the wire tight!
I wish more of your stuff was online. I'd love to see it.

Squeak, according to my mom, after the age of 70 you no longer have to have a pap test. That's what I'M looking forward to!

Why don't you get a pap test over 70?
Are you past the point of developing cancer? or are you just too old and they don't care anymore?
hmmmm...

I like my knew quote too! I read it in a book and thought that it was very true I never want to grow old in my way of thinking!


Den needs her hands for the Art show to show off her art and sell her stuff smartypants!

That's what I figure, Mauvais... they just don't give a damn.

Oh yeah.. art show. Well, she WILL have to make change!

I've slipped so badly, but have evened out because I walk so much... But I've given a 1/2 hour paper route to my eldest son and plan on retiring from my papers in April soooooo I need to get on track now before my metabolism goes mad.

Today I drink water! And now that my courses have nearly wrapped up I am cooking again. I feel as though I haven't cooked since summer.

Hours cut at work too, so I'm home more now to see the state of the house, routines and cupboards.

Lois!
