Wonderful Weekend - July 12 and 13

  • Good morning, ChickieBabes!

    We are back to 8-muddy paw time again but I don't care since the gardens and fields really need it. I sure don't want the torrents that have been dumped on parts of the States but this is the right amount for now. (OK, Mother Nature, this is Day 2. Maybe you can stop later today?)

    I spent the whole 5 hours grooming time with Holly yesterday when she sheared Lucy. That dog had so much fur on that little 40 pound body. The tranqs from the vet really worked. I was even a bit worried about my furry baby since she seemed so out of it. She was back to "normal" by supper time.

    Not much planned for the weekend for a change. I will try to get some of the school work sorted for judging and display at the Fair. What a fun job! Kids have such imaginations! Santa at the Beach pictures are particularly delightful.

    I hope everyone has a great weekend and stays OP, whatever P that may be.
  • Good Morning Ruth and all to come

    Have to get busy cleaning, everything is out of place, and the house looks like I left the windows open during the wind storm yesterday.

    Im still OP and lost 4lbs of the 6 I put on over the last month. Its been hard and yesterday I wanted soooooooo very badly to hit the Krispy Kreme display at BKwik. So I made sure I took my daughter with me everywhere I went. (She would tattle on me) Well my strategy worked, and Im up for day 3!

    Have a great day everyone

  • Good morning Ruth and Robin!!!! I am trying to do SB but keep falling into Atkins...I guess anything is good at this point...

    Lots of water and protein planned for today!!!

    DH is gone for most of the day it is going to be gorgeous here...I actually have the windows open and the AC off. Won't last but its nice to dream!!!!

    Have a great day!
  • Another rainy day here too Ruth but you're right, our gardens need it!

    I really wish I could be a slug but I have a lot of laundry to do after dh's return yesterday from Hotlanta. He's out again going to Port Clintoon in Ohio on Wednesday till Saturday. He's a busy man alright.

    Day 3 of TOM and I am just tired. I hate it but as a PCOSer a necessary evil I suppose.

    Off to throw in another load. Have a great day everyone
  • Good afternoon, Chickipoos. Wavin' at y'all from out west.
    Another very warm day here on the Wet Coast with a forecast of showers but so far it's very pleasant. I decided to do some baking while the house was still cool and so far it hasn't heated up too much but I'm glad the bread is finally out of the oven. Don't shoot me! My hubby isn't on a diet and he loves the home made bread but I cheat now that I have arthritis in my hands. I start the dough in the bread machine and then make two loaves out of it and bake it in the oven. Much nicer that way. I also baked a banana nut loaf and a blueberry muffin loaf which I will avoid like the plague.
    I got on the scale this morning and I haven't lost an ounce this week. Bummer. But, I feel so much better that I will stick with it....basically SBD. I think it helps me to avoid the butter and cream of Atkins....as much as I love them.
  • Happy Sunday to all!!

    Had some big storms here last night!! Seems to be clear this am but a little cloudy - we had planned to head to the lake after church but we shall see how the weather goes!!

    Must get in the shower and wake DS so we can be off! Have a great one!
