Good Tuesday afternoon. I could have sworn I checked in here after the barium thingie yesterday but I guess I was hallucinating! All over with and now I just need to wait for the results which will be about a week.

I worked in the Greeenhouse today. What a great way to spend a cold and drizzling morning! One of my jobs was deadheading the pansies so I now have three huge bunches of those beauties on my kitchen table. All the bedding plants are really growing - most of them look ready for sale now, not four weeks from now! We have been debudding and cutting back to keep things in control. Strange how some years are different from others. I think it has something to do with the quality of the light.

It's still drizzling and cool so I am going to try for a fire in the woodstove, some tea and maybe a wee nap. Here's hoping your Tuesday is good too.

Hi Ruthie, hope you feel better soon, when will you find out the results?

Nothing much is going on here except it is thundering and lightening outside as we speak, weird for April ????? kinda scary at the same time.

HUGS!

Morning!
Wet and not too cool, about 60 today....I am still bogged down with Auction stuff but feeling a little better about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the auction a week from Saturday....Good to see everyone but I am in the lurker catagory at the momnet...

Well I never okay yes I have

The weekend is going to be beautiful all you east coast chickies, whatcha got planned?

I'm gonna take down my Easter decor outside and open the windows in the house. I love it !!

Gonna do some cooking so next week I'm not caught off guard for dinners, a roast is definitly in the menu but I think I'll go to trader joe's and get some orange roughy

Lots happening around here so I've not been online much. Let's just say that the elusive Kevin finally came through and I'm living in a construction zone. Check my Journal if you need details.
Gorgeous day and I'm off to start front bed cleanup! Weather looks super for the weekend which is the Maple Syrup Festival! Can you say CARB?

Oh WOOTHIE, Not those Maple Pies ????????????????? you kill me EVERY year with just the thought of them. Just one little bite? lol

Okay, Ruth, tell me again how to find your Journal. I did it once but can't remember how. Silly, brain dead Linda.
I'm doing just horribly re: eating. I can't seem to get my act together. I stuck diligently to the BioChemical Machine plan and gained 8 lb in three weeks. I guess that's not the plan for me. I really don't know what is... short of having my mouth stapled shut.
Well, lots of errands to run today and it's pi**ing rain out there. Just my luck.

Linda, there used to be a button at the top that took you right to the logs but it seems to have disappeared. I'll see if it can be put back. In the meantime, here's the URL: http://www.3fatchicks.com/journals/weblog. You can either skin through the pages or use the member list to find me. There are lots of R people so it's best if you sort the list by most posts. I'm blabby and am usually near the top.

It's Friday morning and I'm headed off to work, but only in body! In mind I am throwing open the windows and letting sun and fresh air into the house...it is supposed to be in the 60's and above all weekend- can't wait! We have had 5 days of rain and cold and clouds... April can be very frustrating.

Ruth, my seedlings are scrawny and skinny-earlier than yours, but needing sun and warmth so bad, like me. Glad your testing is done, just the wait for results now. Hey, how did the V. Monologues go? Was it fun?

Linda, I gained this week, too! Tried to do a Weight Watcher's LC thing, allowing portion controlled exchanges like 2 breads, 2 fruits, but it didn't work cause of the hunger that eating bread gives me. I had strawberries for breakfast a few times and wanted to eat the files on my desk by 10 AM> NEED MY PROTEIN!!! I Was thinking of Protein Power, with the very small amounts of carbs, but I still need to stay away from bread! I also have been eating off a big ham from Easter, so the salt factor may be showing up on the scale.

Hi to everyone else. I"ll post more on the weekend. During the week is hard as I can't get onto this site at work.

Off to boil some eggs!

Afternoon, ladies.

Oh, ho, ho, hoooo am _I_ glad it is Friday! Been a heck of a week. Young SH, not to be confused with the orginal SH (now known as stbx-SH), showed up at our doorstep on Thursday. Seems he finally found the balls to jump on a plane and fly out here. I'm sure the fact that Melissa had 3 guy willing/able/chomping-at-the-bit to take her to the Senior Ball was an incentive. Don't know how long he plans to stay. We will see. He is staying here at our house but he is afraid of me so I have the upper hand. He knows I will NOT tolerate ANY lying.

The guy I work with, CPA Mike, talked to me today to make sure I like what I'm doing and would like to continue. I thought maybe things would slack off soon and he would need me to obtain other clients so I could cut my time with him down but he said I don't need to do that as he is able to bid for many more clients now that he isn't doing 100% of the work by himself. He said that I'm doing a fine job - Now, THAT isn't too hard to hear, huh.

Well after my great resolve last weekend to work on my eating, etc. I haven't made many strides. I'm blaming stress and PMS. As soon at TOM comes, I will detox the sugar and start clean.

Linda - sorry to hear that the new woe doesn't seem to be panning out. It sounded interesting. What do you thing you will try next?

Sono - I bet you are glad to see that big, fat 16th on the callendar, huh? Past D Day - hope you got them all done.

Ruth - Hope you tummy (and other areas) are back to normal by now. How the heck are you supposed to enjoy the Maple Festival with a bum tummy? Give the girls a snuggle for me. When I took Scoot to the emergency vet last week, I saw a bit chart about dog ages. I didn't realize that the big dogs (like Scooter) age so much faster than the smaller ones. At 75lbs. and 7 years he is at age 55+ in human years. That made me sad.

Dottie - Hope to hear about the house, job, etc. when you have more time to check in this weekend. Did you know that Chickadee just got banded? She (and Jiff, Peach and others) post over at the WLS section. I visit over there with them sometimes.

L- Hurry up with that Auction stuff so you can be a lady of leasure again, k? (lol!)

Ok - gotta run. Busy weekend and I'm starting out behind the 8 ball since I'm soooo tired. I may just veg tonight and then hit it hard tomorrow. Decisions, decisions.
