I wouldn't last on Survivor either. My idea of surviving is a triple slide out RV parked by the side of the ocean, cold glass of wine while sitting in a plastic chair and being without a washer and dryer for a couple of days. Ledom, I also don't like to compete. I never play board games or cards anymore because I often win and don't like that feeling. It was the same when I was a kid. I wanted everyone to win and still do. Hey, I believe we all can win.
I did do a lot of camping when my daughter was at home. We used to go "birding" which was fun. I just gave all my camping stuff to her last month. Now that she and her BF have a car they want to go camp this summer. We used to go to a little place called "Porteau Cove" on the way up to Whistler. It was nice.
Good for you on the weigh in Ledom. It is best not to get too fixated on weighing, that is for sure. I am trying to the once a week thing. Though I do sometimes cheat and hop on the scale for a peek. Then wish I didn't.
It rarely goes as good as one hopes. It is best to focus on the long term and health.
Shebacat, it is so good that you knew the symptoms for diabetes. You friend was lucky. How is the kitty doing?
Lana, are you enjoying your time off at home. Glad to hear that the chicken pox is the thing of the past. I think the only thing my D got was measles. I remember when we were growing up the school had vaccinations for stuff all the time. When I was raising my D I had to take her in myself for vaccinations.
A glider swing sounds wonderful..
Mrs. Yogi were you caught up in the excitement of the provincial election? We watched t.v. all evening. We were glad the Liberals got in but very glad the Green party made so many gains. You are a real inspiration in the diet arena!!
Yesterday I made a lower fat version of baked ziti (I was motivated by the Sopranos eating ziti in the first season and thought I would get some recpes off the internet). It was delicious, it had a layer of cottage, parmesan, mozzarella and provolone cheese mixed with onions, garlic, mushrooms, spinach and basil. Then it had the ziti and a spicy marinara sauce. Even though it was the lower fat version it still was 9 points a 1 1/2 cup serving. Though that was pretty filling since it was so rich. I froze it in Ziplocs for my DH's lunch so I wouldn't be eating it until it was gone. The internet has enriched my cooking by so many people sharing such good recipes. I have made three monster size binders of recipes that I just love off of the internet.
I am tutoring my D in history. We are using the book "The End of the European Era, 1890 to the Present" by Glibert and Large. We are having such a good time. We read and discuss on the phone every second night.
That is all the news here. Have a good Monday everyone.
