It is raining again today... We need it.
Happy . I got real busy and in short order had all the Christmas stuff put away. I took down the outside lights and all. I guess the nerves set in and gave me the energy. All done and back to normal ,whatever normal is .
What's up Meme? Did I get you and Mima mixed up.. It would have been possible lately. The last couple weeks have been all messed up for me. I guess we all have days like that.
Mima.. When is the wedding? Maybe when you come to Florida? I see a lot of weddings on the beach when I walk. I told my son if he ever finds someone that was the way to go. Not expensive.
Hello Candice and Ally...
Bye. Joanne
Meme- Pretty Good I wouldn't try to break in another man. But ,I think I am older than you. Been there done that and don't have the energy to do it again...Joanne
Happy...I sent that page to all my buddies at work. That was so funny but so true......!!!
And Meme. I am very very happy for you. It looks like you have waitined a while and put up with a lot but good things come to those who wait. Good for you.
But I could write you a long long list of the things I have done for love that I regret.
Mima....I hope you can send us all pics of the wedding. A shower isn't a bad idea. But ask only for really expensive towels and sheets that you would never buy for yourself. I want some of those. I don't know if I would go thru with a wedding to get one.
Candice.....shopping. Yes indeed. I got some really good bargains. Had a little short fat lady following me around wanting a 2 piece jumper set I had on my arm. Finally I said "this wouldn't fit you.....it is way too long" she said....."but it is only $20".
Joanne......My hubby was a bit like yours. ONCE he fixed a meal when the kids were little. Tried making one grilled cheese sandwich at a time while the kids were screaming. He put butter on both sides of the bread so they were greasy, and he put milk in the tomato soup. ( I don't make it that way). I didn't say a word cause I wanted so much to demonstrate that I appreciated the help and the thought. But the kids wouldn't eat either cause "it's not like mommy's" and he refused to ever do it again.
Now that we are split up I understand that he has conquered chili and drive thru windows.
Joanne - I got my house back in order yesterday. The tree down and all the Christmas stuff put away. Like you, I wouldn't bother breaking in a new fella - the one I have spoils me to much. He doesn't cook much, but that is ok. He does lots of other stuff for me and I really appreciate it.
Mima - If you get to comfortable look out - the pounds tend to slip on :lol. I am sure happy for you.
Ally - glad you enjoyed the little ditty. It was really kind of cute.
Candice - where are you.
Meme - I forgot yesterday to mention that I am so happy for you, that you and your hubby are getting on better. That is sooo nice to here. You had a rough time last year, but maybe it was a good wakeup call for him - whatever, glad it is working out. You have invested a way to many years now.
Well, for Christmas I got a cordless mouse and keyboard and I love them. Now, I have to install the digital camera and figure out how that works - then look out. I will be picture crazy.
Hope you are all feeling good. Meme, are you getting hit with the snow storm?
Hi-Glad to be home again til the 16th even though I spend a lot of time in Westminster which is a half hour from here. Ok-I ate pizza last night-that's it!!!!I'm allergic to pizza which is why it tasted so good. I have a list of stuff to do today and then we're going to a Christian Singles thing where there will be some dancing. I have this unbelievable list of stuff I have to do before I go away. How is your arm Candice? You can get Meme and I mixed up because I have as much stuff to do as she does!!Even when I get to FL. -my son is selling some baseball cards on e-bay and we have to do some serious shipping. Hi all. Have a good day. Mima
On emtional eating??????????? They say it is emotional if you eat anything and you are not hungry..well I am hungry all the time so does that count! I don't consider myself and emotional eater, but when I take meds that increase my appetite I eat all the time I guess but I eat because I am hungry....and somethings just plain taste good!
Candice- Good for you.. I doubt that my hubby could even do that. I know he would hand it to me to do. You must live in the country. The fields in your picture a beautiful. My daughter has a ranch in the north part of Florida. I love being up there. I can sit at her pool and look out over the fields and watch the cows etc.
Memi- Happy and meme.. Hello
I am having some arthritis pain in my shoulder/arm so this is short.. Bye...Joanne
Finally home to start packing and organizing. We went to a Christian Singles group in Nashua NH last night and they had some dancing. It was nice -Brad doesn't like to dance as much as me but oh well. That was for the single days. Cooking fish tonight-he's going to try some of my salmon which is so good for you. I haven't gained weight surprisingly but I am so busy. Can't wait to walk in FL. Now he's coming down for a month. That will be a good test!!!!Gotta keep up the organizing momentum. Bye and hi to all!!!Mima
Candice...You and your mother are so attractive. You have nothing to fear with aging.
Mima...allergic to pizza? Maybe I should tell myself that!!
I made a big pot of onion soup. Put a piece of swiss cheese on top but left out the pumpernickel bread. I could eat a gallon of it.
And hunger? Yes, I have been so hungry this week trying to get carbs out of my system. I will check out those Oprah links....
Thanks Ally, Mom was really pretty when she was younger and she aged well untill the Alzheimers took hold and she starting forgetting to eat ndn lost weight very fast and now her skin just hangs on her! Her Boobs too! Gravity... ya gatta hate it!
That onion soup sounds really good and very low points with out the bread. Do you make it form scratch and do the onions give you gas????????????? Seriously now!
Joanne, yes we are in the country between two rual towns( right smack in the middle and I love it..no sosy neighbors like we ahd in Iowa in town! Your daughters Ranch sounds wondrful!
Mima...Dancing is good exercise but I guess he plans to get his exercise another way!LOL (does he have bedroom eyes????)
No gas that I can recall..... But I have the house to myself this weekend so no one is yelling at me for tooting.
I used sweet onions. Maybe stronger ones do that to you.
It is very easy...sliced onions, some butter and garlic cooked til tender, then add some worchestershire sauce, beef stock and cook for a while longer. Yummy. Just gives me bad breath!!!
Onions give me wicked gas but I love onion soup. I live on Beano and Gas Rid whatever. But it works. It snowed last night so I have to move my car. 9 more days til FL........I'll wave to you as I fly over, Joanne. 2 weeks alone and then Brad will be down for a month. Very different this year. But I'll be sure glad to walk. And swim. Heated pool and whirlpool where I am. And then I get to see Alison. Hey Meme-did you get snow? Candice-that's a beautiful anniversary figure. Gotta go get dressed and shovel. Hi to all. Mima
Hi guys...I'm upaset (as Ross says!). I didn't lose any weight last week...as a matter of fact, I GAINED 2.5 pounds. I'm hoping it is mostly water weight as we got about 3 or 4 inches of very wet snow yesterday. One pound wouldn't have surprised me much as I ate at the top of my points most days and went a little over one or two days but I didn't think I'd gain 2.5. I'm just going to hang-in until next week and see what happens...guess I'll be eating at the BOTTOM of my points all this week!
Hey There
