Worked on pool & sheds & garage today. Tonight I went to a friends and had homemade soup, bread , wine & movie..We talked so much that we never finished the movie..
This friend works from home & fixes amazing recipes almost everynight. She just loves to cook..Tonight we had a lentil & meatball recipe that I will have to get from her.
Had to go to a funeral this morning one of our choir members son passed away, day after New Years. Now I'm home,waiting for the gas man to read my meter and check my gas line as it a mandatory for the state of Ma. every 5 years.
Going to make low carb pancakes and waffles for future breakfasts.Along with that I have find my low carb recipe folder and find a l/c pizza crust recipe that I have to freeze also for future lunch/supper meals.
SANDRA-Thanks I be aware of the ones I put on the toss pile.
I got a call from a local reporter--he is writing a short piece on our article and posting our article on the paper's website. I'll let you know when it is posted. It is about gas drilling and its effects on health.
good morning chicks. I woke up early today. Enjoying my coffee.
Maryann, could you share your low carb pancake recipe?
Rhonda, will look forward to reading the article.
Nancy, any news on the home sale?
I haven't lose any weight, but I sure have firmed up my butt with all the walking we've done. Do you think if I walk backwards I could firm up my belly?
My friend is coming in a minute to help me seal my bathroom tiles.
Then I am taking my Grandson to his guitar lessons this afternoon.
I went and looked at a neat house yesterday that was in my favorite neighborhood and was just the right size & price. It had a great sunroom & a family room like I want. I think that house won't be the "one" because it was a corner lot but it was encouaging to see that I should be able to find what I need in my price range.
The builder comes Sunday so hopefully he will indicate afterwards how interested he is. Even if he doesn't work out ,I am feeling more relaxed about this house going on the market and finding another . The hard work is done I think , getting this one ready for market. Hopefully by the end of Jan I will be working and let the realtors do their job.
I am starting to do more things with friends at night and work on my list during the day. I seem to be doing so much better than in the fall. Things just don't seem as sad & hard as before ..If I add in work and going to the gym I will be pretty busy.
I am subbing again today with AG. So far, I'm not scheduled for tomorrow. My plan is to sub twice a week unless a school is having an emergency. Last week I just subbed one day. I cancelled an assignment last Friday because of the funeral.
Maryann, please post the low carb pizza crust recipe.
Rhonda, be sure to give us the link to your article. You're famous, Cuz!
Nancy, I'm glad you're doing better. Good success to you on selling and buying. Do you know where you'll be working?
We have a local tournament this weekend. Life is good.
Something is wrong with my computer mouse it not working and I had to use another one that I don't like. Tomorrow I'm going to the Mac store or Staples and buy another mouse.
The Birthday Luncheon was cancelled due to the storm we are getting down pours and high winds.Going to be held next week,hope it doesn't fall on the day I have my new Gas company appointment. Yes I stayed home all afternoon and when they didn't come I called and the customer service person told me I never had appointment scheduled that day. This it the second time they did this to me. So I'm not going to worry about it anymore,as noting it wrong with my gas line or meter,but I was having this appointment as a minatory Mass law saying that every 5 years you must have the gas line checked.

I'm back in AG. Should be an easy day. We're watching the last half the video we saw yesterday.
Yesterday I felt like I ate too heavily. My jeans say so today. I'm having split pea/ham soup and cornpones for lunch (like yesterday). Dinner will be lighter than yesterday's. We may go out. I see a good steak in my future.
I've got a tap lesson, then lunch with an old boyfriend from my 20's. Sweet. No, DH, has nothing to fear
Maryann, thanks for the recipes.
Nancy, that's all good news and I'm happy for you.
I've been following the DASH diet for about two weeks and have lost a few pounds. It's an easy one to do. If you're looking for a change, I recommend it to you.
