Good morning! I made it in before 8!

It's the end of the shortest month of the year. Time to think of March goals. I am not happy with my February weightloss and need to really be realistic about a March target. I am definitely a stress eater, I've decided,

Nothing planned today but something is bound to turn up. Friend Claire dropped in yesterday morning so I didn't get my plant area ready. Maybe today?

Peck in, y'all! (If I talk Southern, will it be spring here?)

Oh, thank you very much. I thought you'd never post, Ruth.
Listen, March is going to be good for us. I can feel it.

Yes, I'm not impressed with my gain this month. However, I've had depression/med troubles, and a suspected tumor (I'm sure it's not, but I'm having a physical next week), so once that's all over with, I feel I'll be ready to get back on track in March.
I'm just dying to go outside in slacks and a t-shirt, grab my spade, and start digging.
I mean, I suppose I could do that now, but the neighbours might hustle me off to the nearest mental hospital.

What's up with everyone?
How are the kitchens and bathrooms coming? I'm picking up the new paint for the upper cabinets today so I can redo them. ho hum.

Mornin my lil chickadees! Not much happenin here. One of the worse nights of sleep I think I have ever had! OMG I am exhausted! Nuttin much planned today. Mom wants me to drive her and her car out to my brothers this morning cause he is gonna change her oil for her. Other than that no plans really. The sun is shinin bright out there this morning.

Ruth...Talk southern...I think it'll bring the spring on up there to ya! lol I don't even want to talk about Feb. goal it was a major bust. For some reason i have had a really tough month. March will be better!

Ellis...I'm with you in gettin back on the right track for march! We can do this. I'm ready to get goin again next week! Can't wait to see more kitchen pics.

I guess I better get goin Mom said she had to be out there early. He lives in the boonies! Have a great day all!

OK - we are Marching into March a bit early. I just did all my frassing knee exercises and 10 minutes on the treadmill. I had a half grapefruit and a slice of pumpernickel toast with Laughing Cow.

Ahm thinkin suthern fer y'all.

Where the heck is everyone?

Yeah where are all those lil sleepy chicks at this mornin? Mom wasn't feelin well and decided not to go out to DB so I am fixin to watch another movie while she naps!

Bamie, I'm sorry your Mom isn't feeling well.
Which chick flick are you watching now?

Ruth, you're inspiring me. Stop it, wouldja?

Hi Chickies I'm here,just resting my weary back for this weekend,and taking it nice any easy.

Ruth I'm goingto be realistic with my weight & exercising. Going to do my BESTI can do,and thats all anyone can ask.

Ellis Hoping for a warmer month so I able to walk along the beautiful beachs we have here in the Cape.I'm looking forward to tee's & shorts myself.WINTER is VERY long this year.

Bamie Have a great time with your mom & brother. Mine are so far away,that I see them only every other month if I'm lucky

Have a nice day Ladies Hugs BB

P.S.Bamie:======Didn't read the your other post. Sorry that your mom is not feeling well . Hope she on the mend soon BB

BB, you lucky girl being so close the ocean. I am so envious!
You take good care of that back, hon. Don't try to do too much.

Hi Ya'all

Talkin southern but there is still snow outside. Maybe it will make it melt?

I was rotten last night at the "Great Food and Wine Symposium" so I've decided that come Monday it is a full blown two week Phase I for this chick. No exercise and bad food for the entire month of February. I'm pretty sure I'll post a gain too chickies. Good thing it is a short month. I feel all bloated from the food last night. Tonight I'm going to read my SBD book and get motivated again! I keep looking at all these cute spring tops that my big fat arms won't look good in.

Bami - Sorry about your mom. Hope she is doing better.

Ellis - Yeah - you might get people talkin if you go out there and start gardening now. You would probably bust that spade or your arm trying to break through the frozen ground.

Ruth - You inspired me - I should exercise too today!

Beach bum - My back is still all jammed up from the fall this week. I wish my Chiropractor was open past 10 am on Saturdays. Oh well hot/cold packs for me this weekend.

Not much happening here - DS is with his dad this weekend. I have to get motivated to go shopping at some point this weekend. I need to get Phase I food! Quiche cups are on the menu.

Have a great day.

Oh, I hear ya, hon!
Please mail me two dozen quiche cups.

Um, ellis, how's the painting going? Have you started?

I have the pails downstairs for the old earth from the plant area. Don't get all excited - it's not a room but just a space in my gloomy cellar. Ya think I'm rich or something? It's between two old cisterns that are empty. Actually I'm afraid to look into them to confirm that! I do have water down there since I ran a hose from the water tank that does the trick.

Harry and I are going to the Long Horn for lunch so he can ruin his appetite for dinner. Hmmm....maybe poached eggs and peameal bacon for dinner?

Oh, I'm too busy posting to paint, Ruth.
Actually, I've got a bit of colour on. Just to make sure it looks okay. It's going to be a real b*tch covering that red.
We had a cistern in our old house. Interesting... when the basement flooded in the spring, none of it got into the damned cistern. It was always bone dry.
I wish I was going to the Long Horn with you. Although the name sort of makes me queazy... what's that restaurant where they have big statues of bulls/cows outside. I mean, really... we don't want to KNOW what we're eating!
There's a restaurant in Ottawa... I forget ... I think it's Inuit or something. There are a number of dishes with "Canada Goose" on the menu. Honestly, can't they just call it goose?! I do NOT want to envision my favourite black and white bird sitting on my plate!!
Enjoy your lunch.

Hello ladies,

It's the end of February - thats good!!! Yes Ruth, if you talk southern it will be spring: All together now: cut out the light, mash the brakes, I'm fixin' dinner, put that over yonder, lets go to the the-a-ter and see a movie!! (It's OK, I'm from the south) Think Spring

Ellis, good idear to paint the other cabinet the same as the wall color. Have you had any visits from the little grey varmits lately?

Bamie, my awl needs changin, too. Can I talk your brother into doin' one more?

Beach bum, t's and short will be here soon. Think Spring!

Anchor Weight - It's already March! Lets all get back into the groove together. Now is the time-woohoo.

I went on the 10k volksmarch today, through the vineyards and mountains. My bum is feeling the workout. Whats that machine called, the Stairmaster? We went up the hill, and the next hill, etc. in the snow, on and on. By the time we were all done everyone was stripping off their gloves, scarves, caps, and even jackets. I'm ready to flop now. Talk to you later.

Ellis.....I have watched Vanity Fair....Wimbeldon...and now a guy movie Walking Tall! Although could be chick flick since he is a rock! lol I started watchin Wicker park but I thought it was dull. I also watched Taxi lastnight which was pretty funny! Maybe you should prime the cabinets first?

Anchor...Let me know if the accent works maybe I'll try a northern one to see a lil white stuff! lol

Beach Bum...Careful with the back sweetie!

Bamie~~Enjoy the movies with your mom.

Ruth~~I love the Long Horn!! I think we are going to the Olive Garden for dinner tonight. I made the Olive Bread using yeast, rise twice,etc... DH loved it.

Ellis~~ I hope the new color works well on the counters. It might take a few coats to cover the original red but it will work.

Abroad~~It sounds like you had some beautiful countryside along your walk . Rest for the day, now.

Anchor~~I might make some quiche cups, too!!

BB~~ Take it easy today.

Me~~ Dog had blood in her urine this morning and took her to the vet. I hope it's just a bladder infection and not stones. We'll try antibiotics and see what happens. I took this weekend off of work to celebrate my birthday (since I sorta missed last years) and I'm just hanging out with DH.
