Good Evening, Flowers!
It has seemed like such a long day today! The kids were pretty laid back today; I don't know if it was the shock of being back in school mode or the weather which has turned back to winter's ice cold north winds that take your breath away. We even had some lazy snowflakes fall late this afternoon while the sun was shining. That was weird!
I did go to WW tonight and showed a loss of 1.5#s. I'm not sure how because I was at least expecting a maintain. I give up trying to figure out this weight losing game! I didn't think that I did very well this past week.
Maggie -- I'd love to have the cold slaw recipe if you would share, please? I don't think I could eat "just" 18 points for a day; I don't know how you do it. I can just see those little ants trying to build their village in the picnic table!
Thanks for starting the new thread for us. I see that you sent Wendie to me but I didn't take the time to read your note. I was looking for a note from Beth about sending for some Lord of the Dance tickets and she didn't reply.
Gail -- I am so sorry about your fall! I hope that you are back to your old self soon! When I went to the doctor on Monday, he told me to start putting heat on my toe -- like I have time to sit around with the heating pad!
He also said, "I assume that you elevated it and put ice on it when it happened." Now, this happened on Friday and I had a date with Amanda for lunch and shopping at the mall! So I wasn't lying when I said yes for I did have ice on it in the car going over to Sioux City! Mine actually feels better when I am standing rather than sitting with it up -- I am really sore in the morning when I get out of bed. I now have a mental picture of you with bags of frozen veggies piled on top of your ankle!
I've not ever eaten lamb either . . . my grandparents used to bottle feed lambs when I was a kid and I don't think I could ever eat lamb. Of course, I couldn't eat beef or pork if I had personally known the animal either!
I need to get busy. I am making a fruit dip and taking cut up apples to serve at a meeting tomorrow night. We are doing "healthy" snacks rather than dessert.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, Flowers!
