Good travels Michelle - your timing was perfect to avoid that storm and you seem to be doing well. Will be home before you know it. Just don't buy juice at Starbucks. Apparently a customer noticed a woman replacing juice bottles in the cold case with those in her own bag. The customer reported the woman to the employees, the woman noticed and fled but one employee got her license plate number. Turns out the juice was tainted with rubbing alcohol. Geez people - that's NOT how you make screwdriver's (an alcoholic drink). They were able to nab the woman through the license plate and have her under questioning. Crazy world out there.
Mel - I am sorry about Jen. I can sympathise that it must be very very hard coming to grips with her future. It's good that you are there for her to help her through the hurdles. And you know I'm sure when to hug and cry and when to tell her you just have to accept things and go forward.
to both of you. And oh man, not another round of paper work
Annie - how's the toe today? I agree they might splint the toe - don't want to tape the big toe to the next -then it turns and you have a bunion
You scared the bejeezus out of me mowing the lawn in bare feet
How is Dad doing? God bless us putting up with stubborn parents - good thing we love them so much
Laura - thanks for the movie review. It's so nice to have someone who has seen things on a regular basis. I hope your weigh in goes well today. Do you know you can knock off up to a half pound on the scale if you take a deep breath when you stand on the scale?
Just a trick in case you needed a bit of breakfast before weigh in
You are doing great! Do you find that counting calories is easier than points?
Ceejay - how's the flooding situation down by you?
How's May looking already by you Shad? Is autumn sneaking it's way over to you?
I hope I didn't forget anything.
We had 4 glorious days of 70 degree weather the last few days. Enjoyed the fresh air. Believe it or not we STILL have snow here. Even after that and the natural dryness of the air up here. Several of the lakes are still frozen. But now we are facing yet ANOTHER winter storm
4 to 8 inches of heavy, wet stuff headed our way tonight. Oh bah, bah, bah. Michelle's timing was excellent as it's in the mountains right now and she got out ahead of it.
Went and got my hair cut and colored yesterday. I got there on time and the stylist was still working on a client so I sat and started thumbing through hair books. A short cut caught my eye and I couldn't get past it. I have basically had the same mid length bob for ages - always settle into the same hair cut. Since ATV season is starting and I generally wear a hat to keep hair from blowing in my face (a pet peeve), it was either grow the hair to wear a pony tail or cut it shorter. I have a square face shape, wear glasses and generally hate short hair on me. I told the stylish let's try short even tho every fiber in me said NO NO NO NO NO. I take my glasses off when they are fixing my hair so it's always a big surprise to me until the reveal when I put them back on again.
Actually it came out kind of cute. It's different and the short layers indeed give me a bit more volume. I haven't had my hair this short since 1969 when I went from hair halfway down my back to the "new" Vidal Sassoon short pixie cut (which I totally hated)
Anyway summer is coming, hair will grow out faster.
I went to the grocery store yesterday - halleluiah - stocked up on fresh goodness. I did gain back 5 pounds from when I was working but a lot of that had to do with not going to the store regularly and eating less fresh stuff. DH and I are back to walking (when it's not snowing out
) and I am going back to dieting again. Got to get the weight off as well as working on the cholesterol.
I have to go to Walmart today to get some paper goods and better get out there before the rains that are preceeding the snow hit. Have a good one chicks. Happy May - here's to a good month for all
