Ruth, I love the new avatar. It's a wonderful photo of you both.
Too funny about all the name things. Most of our stuff is in DH's name. I never even thought about it! I'll have to get on that... Sounds like a yummy day in your fridge!
I'm drinking a cup of chai and using your gorgeous coaster. I'll keep it here at work where the bright colors will cheer me up and make me think of you.

Cyndi, getting bored/unmotivated with exercise is awful! I'll start a thread on that (though I think we also have some discussions about it in other threads--may be worth a search). Can you try something new to help motivate you?
I'm so sorry you're still ill,
Cottage!
Hope the movie and tea help. Haven't heard about the storm, but suppose it could hit us as well. It's foggy and cloudy this morning.
Loriann, I have the same issues with cats. But as long as I keep my hands away from my eyes after petting them, I'm usually okay. I have no scientific data, but even the most allergic people I know (DH being one) seem to eventually become immune to cats that they live with, even for a short time. DH starts all visits to his parents (who have had up to 2 cats over the years) with allergies that taper off by the end of our week-long time with them. Hopefully it'll go away. If not, there's always allergy shots!
Ruth, I'm a
big proponent of live trapping mice (and then letting them go in Ottawa so they never find their way home!). We tried everything else with our pantry mice and it never worked. The live traps worked perfectly--we caught one mouse a night until they were gone. DH dropped them off in the woods on his way to work and we've never seen them again. I know Ellis needs some mice removed from her place...maybe you can drop yours off by her and then pick hers off to drop off by you!
City/Country mouse anyone?
Wow,
Barb, I really thought he'd have calmed down by now. He's been such a jerk to you, but I just can't understand why he's being so irresponsible and thoughtless to Brian. I'm SO glad you got out of that marriage!
Hope it gets easier soon.
Schmoodle, are you willing to post in the recipe forum about how you dry the tomatoes? I still don't have a dehydrator, but I have a lot of tomatoes! Hope your rash is better, hon!
I'm the same way with pumpkins, hon. Didn't know anyone else was like that. I'm also allergic to pine needles, so I get a rash at almost every holiday involving natural decorations!
Me:
I'm tired!
It's day 3 of Phase 1 after this weekend's off-plan eating and maybe that's why? I'm still getting used to our laptop (in the sense that I'm still getting used to figuring out how to incorporate it into my day without spending all my time on it!
). A dear friend found me online last night and got me chatting, which was great, but I sure needed to go to bed!
SSDD here--gym, home, and making dinner. DH is working the church spaghetti supper tonight, so I'll be eating alone. I hope to fill out my goal chart today (I've been trying ever since Kaplods mentioned it!) while I have that alone time.
Have a great day, chickies!
