Our no parking sign is made of metal as is customary here on the continent. It's round with a blue background and a red diagonal stripe through it which means you can stop for a minute but you can't park. Real no-nonsense no parking signs have a big read x through the circle. Go figure. I suppose I could feign ignorance and tell them that foreigners don't know these things. I don't know why they don't just write "Parken Verboten" on it? Everyone understands that.

I'm going to bed early for a change. Wish me luck.

Sorry to have been confusing Kiwonk. I left my ex 3 1/2 years ago. We we to the beach in September 98 and I left December 98. That was my last beach trip. I met cuttent DH online in March 99 moved in right away with him. I moved from Gresham Oregon to Renton Washington. We got married this last Valentines day.
My son Tony is 15 and lives with his Dad * my ex*.

Jason my DH has 2 kids.

Megan is 10 and is a special needs child. She is developmentally delayed, more like a 1 to 1 1/2 year old, is Epileptic her disorder is called Lenox Gausteau Syndrom, , has A typical Retts syndrom.

Her brother Robert is 7. He is a typical kid but has a mouth and attitude with it. He will threated kids that are 14 and not back down. He is in behavior threapy due to his anger. Robert is spending the summer in Cali. with the grandparents. I needed the break from him. He also loves to lie and cause major crap in the family. He spent 3 hours with his birth monster and said how mean we were to him and Megan, yadda yadda, yadda. She was mad at us and wanted the kids to live with Jasons parents. Well just Robert not Megan. I was angry at the part about her threating us legally but more so at her not even wanting Megan down there and neither of the kids with her. She walked out on the kids when Robert was 3 months old. She has seen him maybe 10 times since then. Jason moved from Cali to Washington 5 years ago. When he was closer to the monster she still didn't want the kids. I get to deal with Roberts anger at all of that.
OK did I bore ya all to death?
Have a fun night! Daphne

I watched Harry Potter again tonight. My DS2 (who is 6) is utterly fascinated with the movie. My older son at the same age watched nothing but Wizard of Oz.

I stunned myself by doing a hard tape yesterday even though I thought my legs were too tired. Tonight is a repeat run and yoga. Yay!

Sugar P, I love your hamster! Too cute!

I confess
 

OK, cowsies. You're not gonna believe this. I've been avoiding the scale for a few weeks. You know me. Either I live on the thing, or I avoid it like the plague. Well, I'm up to 158. Do we all remember a couple months ago when I was 145????:stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: I really and truly can't believe I've done it again. So today I'm starting the food diary again. 1 banana, lowfat granola bar & skim milk latte for breakfast. I'll keep you posted boringly absolutely to tears.

God knows there's no way I can fit into those dang western jeans now. :shrug:

Whew! Brattie! I'm still a little lost, but I think I've got the basic story right. You definitely have your hands full.

Cherry you are my inspiration.

Kiwi, I'm going to try your salad. Sounds yummy.

Parken verboten? Geez. I'd stay away from that. Why does the german language sound so serious?

Anyone ever listened to Eva Cassidy? I bought a cd after my friend raved and raved about her. I give it a thumbs up.:)

Ah feel your pain, yassah do.
Go ahead, bore me silly.

You asked for it
 

Lunch was a subway 6" sandwich. No mayo. No cheese. Then a demon made me eat the Nutrageous bar that someone had left here. :devil: Now why did I do that? I'm so weak. Dinner will be chicken stir fry w/ lots of veggies.

Oh Wabby I have re read your post and finally figured what the candy bar was!! I was at first reading nutragena bar. I have no idea why I was such a dork. MMMmmmMMMMmmmm but they are so dang good! Did you stickw ith that dinner? Daphne

More good food
 

Now, I don't know if this qualifies as good diet food in many people's book because of all the carbs, but it's certainly low fat and very satisfying. Last night I made spaghetti with fresh (raw) tomato sauce:

:idea: For one serving:

Cut up half a ripe tomato into little chunks, put in a small bowl, seeds, juice and all. Sprinkle with a reasonable amount of salt for one serving. Slice up a scallion and add to tomato, along with some basil and parsley. Stir it up and allow it to sit for a while to bring more juice out of the tomato.

Cook spaghetti or fettucini. Nice big serving of it. Drain. Now, remove the tomato juice into a cup or small bowl and add an equal amount of olive oil to it. Whisk it up till it thickens a bit, pour back in with tomatoes and dump the whole mess on top of your serving of pasta. Sprinkle with carloads of grated romano or parmesan and eat. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!

:dance:

Kiwi

Well.....
 

I don't know if that qualifies as diet food, but it sure sounds yummy!! I did eat that healthy stir-fry for dinner, then DS asked if I'd make him some oatmeal cookies. They had white chocolate chips and pecans. I was weak again. I'm back on the wagon this morning. I'm just going to concentrate on eating healthy food if I just have to eat, but I can have as much fruit or veggies as I want. Whattya think? I just can't stand the thought of going hungry. Not that I really know what that is.

My lil sis and I are going to try out the gym on monday evening. :strong: Maybe we'll get really buff. Ha. Check out my new self portrait.

Super-Piggie? OinkenBuff?

I'm feeling more like that little white poofy dancing thing I put in my post. What is that, anyway?

i am going to eat Nutragena Soap Bars like Wabby so I can lose weight quicker--all those suds I will be upchucking should help.---KIWONKERS!!!! all your recipes sound DIVINE!!!! the tomato recipe you listed is something we make here except for one thing---While the tomatoes are resting in the bowl,we add a hole round of Brie Cheese{with the skin cut off} The cheese absorbs the basil taste and when you pour the hot pasta on it ,it melts-----------FABulous!!!!!!!!!!also add carloads of fresh parmesan as you instructed!---I am already to diet in september,i cannot understand why wabby wants to start so SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!

I meant a WHOLE round of Brie---or Camembert if you please!

Oh Lordy
