Hello goldens
I'm a crabby pattie this week. Perimenopause is giving me a hard time. Diet is going on by the hardest. We finished ds's lot. Went to walmart last night and spent 200.00 stocking up the camp for the winter. We had already spent 150.00 at SAMs. Not including meat. We bring that when we go. We are leaving today for the weekend. It's supposed to be hot. Wishin it would be cooler. As yall can see I'm back up 1.5 lbs this week. I have done well so hoping to get that off by Tuesday. I bought no snacks for the camp. That should help. Dh said he would eat what I ate for snacks so that will be yogurt. He is such a wonderful support system. Sunday will be 35 years that we met. It was my junior and his senior year in high school. We will be married 29 years this march. I alway think of October 14 as a special day in our lives. Where has the time gone. Seems like just yesterday.

I have a lot of things to pack so I don't have time or personals. Y'all have a happy weekend. Hugs to all.

Hi GG's,

Baby it's cold outside! Beautiful football weather. DGS's homecomming is tomorrow, I'm just hoping I don't have to sit out in the cold and rain! Yelp. it's supposed to rain too. What we do for these kids.

I had a pt. Thursday with shingles. They can be mild or really bad. They can last just a couple of weeks or years. If you ever see anyone with a really bad case of shingles you'll RUN to get the shot. My friend had them and her Dr. told her to get a shot as soon as the symptoms cleared. Others say a couple of months. And you can usually get the shot much cheaper at a drug store, rather than a Dr. office. Not only do you have to pay for a Dr. visit, they are much higher. They are about 65 $ around here, so if you can get one for 35 it's a real deal.

Rie, I hope you feel better in time for the tourney tonight. I know you are so excited waiting on the kids.

Dee, the recipe sounds good. I love pumpkin and I also like that it's so healthy.

Bobbi, I've never heard of pealing potatoes like that! How easy! I'm sure to remember that. The duck call probably got a big boost from "Duck Man". A lot of people are watching that.

Gayle, Hope work is good for you this weekend. We have oposite weekends. I had a really good day the last time I worked.

Cajun, Weight is funny. It doesn't always come off like it's supposed to. You do all the right things and it's still there. BUT, if you continue to do the right things, they will work. Hard to be patient, isn't it? I try to remember that every day I eat well and exercise i'm making myself healthier, and the weight loss will come.

Carbie, Have fun this weekend.

Bobbi - If you shop at WalMart, get your egg substitute there. I have tried them all, and the best tasting ones are Great Value at WalMart. I almost can't tell the difference when I scramble them. Of course, if you're just going to use them for baking, the taste won't matter much.

Good evening GG’s,

Rosey ~ glad you had a nice time out with your girlfriends. So happy for you that you are able to do more stuff and enjoy things again

Isabella ~ how are you doing? Don’t disappear on us again.

CK ~ how are you doing? Hope you are feeling better.

Bobbi ~ thank you for taking the time to share the yummy recipes.

Lynn ~ hope things are going ok for you. How is your daughter doing? Miss you.

Donna ~ glad your day off was a nice one. I love that picture of SamCat ~ he looks so peaceful and snuggy napping there.

Freda ~ enjoy the homecoming/football and your weekend off ~ hope the rain stays away. Work will be interesting. We had had a couple weeks of low census. It is back up now, but we have several patients that keep trying to get up without help and keep us running trying to prevent them from falling. Sometimes in hurrying to try to keep them from falling ~ the staff ends up falling. Not fun.

Rie ~ hope you are starting to feel better. I bet you are so excited you can hardly stand it ~ to have your son, DIL and little Gabriel almost there.

Carol Sue ~ glad the weight watchers is working for you ~ congratulations on two more pounds gone

K3 ~ did you survive the cleaning of your fridge? What other treasures did you find there? I am in hot water because I snuk (is that a word?) several out dated cans of refrigerator biscuits out to the trash in the middle of the night last night. DH insisted they were still good to use. NOT!!! They taste horrible when they have “gone by”. He hates to waste stuff, I get that, but come on ~ there is a point where it is……..nutty.

Mary ~ how are you doing? Hope all is well with you.

Cajun ~ enjoy your camping weekend. Maybe that will help the crabbiness pass. Congratulations on the anniversary of the meeting of your DH.

Deelee ~ hope the stress you are having is letting up some. How is your shoulder doing?

Carbie ~ You said ~ You've sure got a good plan going there for exercise. I'm embarrassed to say I have no plan.
Yes, it sounds good ~ would be good if I had follow through. That is where I fall apart. In my defense though ~ a lot of times, my work hours mess it up. Sometimes I get out too late to be able to do the evening part. And when I am real late getting home, it makes it hard to get up earlier in the morning to do the morning part. I didn’t get out until 10:10 pm Wednesday night, and was there until almost 1:00 am last night (my shift ends at 6 pm). Don’t feel embarrassed then about not getting in your exercising. From all the other stuff you do ~ you do a lot. I don’t think I could keep up with you

Welcome Chewy/Maria ~ sounds like you are doing great. Keep it up

Forgive me ~ I know I have probably missed someone ~ running out of steam.

Back to work tomorrow. Almost bed time. The last two nights at work were late ones ~ hopefully I will rest well tonight and maybe the weekend will be a little quieter.

Hello
Can I be a Goldie too? I'll be 49 in Jan.
Nice to meet you all!

Hi Girls, Been kind of a disappointing week. I managed to get 2 days of work out in this week but yesterday was spent in the yard hauling brick as well as today. I don't feel like I burned the cals I would have had I walked the treadmill. Maybe I did and it just took longer. Calorie intake has been good surprisingly enough considering all the stuff happening around me. Have a good weekend girls. Can't wait for it to start raining.......

Bobbi ~ if you have a chance sometime ~ could you share that apple/squash recipe ~ it sounds delicious.

Gayle...I just dug out the recipe and I lied. It's not from allrecipe.com but from the president of our local farmers market. dang, thought I could do a quick copy/paste.
You can substitute Splenda or Stevia for the white sugar, blend for brown to cut calories. You might want to skim down the butter too if it's just for yourselves. I'll put the real thing in for Thanksgiving.

Hi everyone and happy weekend. Bobbie my dh worked at an oil refinery and used to get crude oil on his clothes, i was told to get it out to put 2 cans of coke in the wash. i was skeptical but it worked. you might try that. weird huh! ttfn rosey

Hi Girls! No time to post much but I want to second Rosey's idea with the coke. We used to soak our pants in a large bucket with two cans of coke and fill the rest with water. Let soak and then hang outside to dry before you wash. Works every time.

I dug up the garden (14 x 14') with a shovel and then used my little tiller to turn in the manure, fertilizer and conditioner. My back and legs are aching! Things to do today before the kids get here. My eating is really on track and I am just not hungry.

Have a good weekend.

Rie
