Good afternoon
 

A little cool front blew through this morning and caught me off guard. I love "lucky" That was the baby chick that lived after the snake and after getting blown over in the last wind storm. But she was too stressed this time. The other chicks seem fine and we have put up a barrier to protect them. They are very close to being able to go with the other chickens.

Talitha...praying you get the funds you need to add on.

Ellen..awesome on all the progress you are making with your sugar and your diet. I'm sorry you didn't get to see the grand baby.

Meowee....one day closer to winter being gone ((hugzz)) I hope you have a GREAT day.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Good morning ladies,

Another nice day here, but short lived I'm afraid. Rain coming tomorrow and cold and snow flurries on Mon & Tues. Yuk!

I am so sore I can hardly walk or just move. I did lunges last night on a step. Lunging off the step and then the next time lunging on the step. Funny how just a little variation can work different muscles. I have been doing lunges for quite some time and am pretty use to them, but this really kicked my butt, literally.

Ellen, man I was wore out just reading your post. You must be tired. I had to laugh at your note saying your DD & SIL are SUPPOSED to be moving out. Sounds like you don't believe it. Sorry you missed out on seeing that beautiful grandbaby. I bet she is growing. Sounds like this new doc is really helping you. What is fair tax?

Toni, I too love bean soup and no one likes it as much as I do. Really good with corn bread. Cigarettes are almost $1.00 a pack here. Thank goodness that is one vice I never had and if I did I would have to quit b/c I could not afford it. I still have not been to the grocery and we have NO food. Luckily I don't have to cook until Sunday.

Talitha, That sounds like one crowded house. I hope you get the appraisal you need to get the money. You need to fuss at Travis for giving you those chocolates.

Meowee, I guess we are getting some of your bad weather next week. Please keep it there or send it another direction.

Crystle, sorry about the baby chick. I bet they are adorable. I may just look for some of that basil.

Thunderthighs, welcome to our group. Telll us more about yourself and family. We look forward to getting to know you.

Off to print a bridal registery. Have a great day.

Woooo eeeeee do those beans ever smell good. And I took a taste and they're yummy. Can't wait till dinner. Made me a salad with leftover chicken breast on top for lunch. And had me a high fiber drink. Now enjoying some nice hot tea. I'm trying to break myself of eating sugar. I've gained ten lbs in the last few weeks because I've been on a sugar binge. I'm finally trying to get back on the wagon. Well the pup I call Biscuit is still here. Living the Life of Riley outside. She sure can eat.

Ellen- You have been one busy woman. I know when we got the stuff from Steve's Mother's house how crowded we were. We've still not found a place for some of the stuff. Sorry you didn't get to see that little granddaughter. Bet shes a doll. Sounds like you finally got a really good doctor for you.

Meowee- Stay warm. You need my wonderful flannel chair blanket my sister made for me. Its great to cuddle in.

Talitha- Oh no not Dove chocolates. My weakness has been cookies. We'll do better for sure. Your dinner sounds so good.

Crystle- Oh darn poor lucky. You're sure way ahead of us weather wise.

Solly- Glad I don't smoke either. There's no way to afford that. Wow did you have a work out.... I can't even think of exercise right now. Fighting just to get away from the sweets. And back to eating right. Oh aren't I a gripe today. Must be the weather. LOL

Have a good afternoon all.

Good morning. Firday at last. No plans for the weekend except grocery shopping and cutting grass and cleaning house. Yuk! I would like some fun things to do. Might have to sneak out and do some shopping for me.

Toni, you can get off the sugar. You have done it before. I haven't done so well myself lately. I will be glad when these fish fry's are over as I love fried fish and just snack away on the fries and onion rings.

Candoit, hope your surgery went well and you are recovering.

Crystle, Ellen, Talitha, Thunderthighs, Tech and everyone else, :wave: have a great weekend.

:o :o :o -- Yesterday turned into a terrible day of eating far, far too many highly refined carbs, and even included some extremely rich and delicious chocolate cake. I then went to bed fairly early in a total "carb-coma". Today, thankfully, I'm back on track and definitely planning to stay that way.

Weather is damp and overcast, but really quite mild (over 50) and the snow is now melting too quickly. My yard is beginning to look like a swamp. We've got rain in the forecast for the next few days so flooding could become a danger for a lot of folks. Not that I want the snow back though. :no:

Have a good day, gang . . . see you all later . . . :carrot:

Good evening
 

Howdy ya'll. I hope each of you is doing well and off to the start of a great weekend. So many things have started to pop up in the garden. :) There is even one tiny grape tomato that set. My hubby is going to turn a five gallon bucket into an upside down planter like we've seen and we are going to try some tomato plants in that. I can't wait to see how that works. I've been eating a little too much the last three days but I'm hoping to get back on track starting now.

((Everybody))

God bless,
Crystle

Snow is melting fast around here . . . supposed to be 'enjoying' light rain for the entire coming week . . . at least it's better than snow. :yes: so far the only thing showing up in my garden is dirty puddles.

OMG . . . ELLEN . . . if that wasn't so sad; it would be funny. Didn't know "that" was what you looked for in a doctor . . . :s:

Good morning
 

Ellen, I am so sorry about your doctor. The depravity in this world never ceases to amaze me. errrrrr

The scales are up this morning. The pay back for poor eating. Plus my rings are tight. Back on the wagon.

((Everyone)) I pray you have a good weekend.

God bless,
Crystle

Just got done setting out some broccoli plants in pots. Hope they do good. I should have gotten them out earlier. But couldn't find any till yesterday at my shopping trip. Had a wonderful day out. Am enjoying the spring weather. We're going to throw some burgers on the grill soon.

Ellen- Oh my gosh I can't believe the doctor. What a sicko. And he sounded so good. What a shame.

meowee- Know well about the terrible eating days. Just jump on up this old wagon and we'll ride into better eating.

Crystle- I can't wait to see how your bucket plant goes. I wish I had somewhere to hang a pot. I'm in tomato envy of you. LOL....

Solly- Hope you're having a good week end.

Good day yesterday -- eating-wise. :yay: Trying for a match today. :yes:

So far April is living up to it's rep . . . no sunshine around here and none expected for this week. Hope the rest of you get a sunny day.

Hey . . . where is everybody hiding?????

Happy Monday to all. I hate the week end is over. It was so nice. I put a chuck roast in the crockpot yesterday with onions and garlic and a package of taco seasoning and made burritos out of it for dinner. So tonight we can have leftovers. Guess I'll go make breakfast and have some more coffee.

Hi ladies, hope everyone had a good weekend. Of course, eating was not good. Just don't know how to get through them w/o food and wine.

I've been having such a terrible time with numbness in my arms and hands. I didn't get much sleep over the weekend due to it. So I finally broke down and got a cervical epidural this morning.

Meowee, wow you are doing better then us today. Our high is only 39. It was 72 yesterday and calling for snow tonight. Crazy, crazy weather. Congrats for getting back on track with your eating right away.

Ellen, of my goodness. What a horrible, horrible man. What is wrong with people? At least you know what has been working for you and when you do find another doctor he can keep you on the same track.

Toni, those burritos sound good. I have never tried them with roast. I always use lean hamburger. I assume your weather has turned cold also? We had some bad storms last night and it is still raining here.

Crystle, I agree with you. This world is a crazy place. All these shootings over the weekend and Ellen's doctor. I don't know what to think any more. It scares you to death. You are not alone when it comes to weekend eating. I just can't figure it out.

Better dash. Have a great day :hug:
