Good morning all! It poured down rain all day here yesterday but it is nice and mild so I am hoping spring in on its way here. I am ready for sandal weather.

Maggie: My eye dr told me she tries to not put folks in the one and one contact unless they absolutely can't afford the bifocals. She says she thinks they are dangerous because you are basically blind in the eye with close up vision. I can understand that. Mine are coming along, but I have noticed some headache, which may or may not be connected. I like not having to grab glasses everytime I do something. Glad you enjoyed your potluck yesterday. We hung out at the house and Jack watched the olympics, ugh! Not a big fan, though I will watch winter. I hate summer olympics altogether.

Jean: Unfortunately, my favorite thing at Olive Garden is Chicken Alfredo which is mucho points, but the linguine marinara is tasty so I don't mind so much. We thought about getting a balcony room for the cruise, which just decided to move to next year and forget it, but after talking about the fact I tend to get dizzy looking out across the horizon with ship moving, it would be a waste of money. We decided on booking what they call a promonade room which has a window that looks out onto the ship's "mall" so to speak. We haven't booked of course and who knows what we will decide when it is time to book. We decided with the weight these meds put on me (nearly 25lbs in about 6 weeks) that we would need to give me more time to lose weight to be at a comfortable one to walk around and such.

Susan: Looking forward to you being back with us.

Gloria: We haven't heard from you or Gail in awhile.

Selena: Where are you my friend?

I get done posting and I have to start working on the downstairs. It is a total mess. We do have the rug done and that room put back together, but it needs a good overall cleaning so that is my job today. I do need to get to the grocery and get some of my michelena lean little snack meals I have for lunch and some jar garlic which the commissary doesn't have and a box of hair color. I also need my nails done so I might do all that tomorrow. I have to get this house cleaned today.

Have a spectacular day all. I am off to start work. Faye

Good Morning, Flowers! It's a cold and cloudy morning in my corner of the world but it is not snowing nor did we get any during the night. I have laundry going and have to vacuum the dust/fur bunnies when I finish here.

"Gma' -- You have a busy day planned! I could do a mall window on a cruise I think. Once you're away from land there's not much to look at except water. ;) Good luck with working on the 25# gain. :cheer: I know you said you were gaining but I didn't realize it was that much. I know you will do well with your determination and a cruise as your goal. :yes:

Hope you all have a marvelous Monday! Remember to make it a good day and :D !

Jean -- :wave: from Iowa!

Moody Monday
 
GOOD EARLY AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS

It is chilly here this day and there is a bit of snow on the ground. I am planning on stying inside until I venture out to go to WW tonight. I have a house to finish up this day and then I can start a new project. Ragg Mopp is at the groomers and will come home all smelling good once again. He can sure get stinking smelling close to his bath day. He loves his groomer and she doesn't even have to use that teather on him when she works with him. I think I will have a nice cup of soup for lunch this day.

DONNA FAYE They didn't make those bifocal contacts when I got those I had or I would have opted for them for sure. I do hope your eyes do adjust to them easily. I too love the OG and their alfredo noodles but with Italian sausages and that is enough points for a few days. They also have a pizza that is so goooood. It is a grilled alfredo chicken pizza. I am getting hungry talking about it. :p I haven't been there in years. I can count my points easier at the RL. Did ya know both of those places are owned by the same folks.

JEAN What a good day for you to stay inside and do your housework. I can imagine you will be so happy when spring has sprung and the crops are in the fields. Do you have a bird bath in your yard?

Everyone have a wonderful Monday. :wave: Type at y'all later.

Jean 02-22-2010 03:05 PM

Yes, we have a big ceramic bird bath and started putting a heater in it last winter. The deer usually drink it nearly dry during the night. The snow is so deep it is level with the top so the squirrels can just walk over and get their drink. I did know that RL and OG were owned by the same company. People in the Sioux City area have begged for an OG for years and their excuse was that there wasn't a big enough population base to support both RL and OG. Well, every time we've gone to OG, be it a weekend or weekday, we've had to wait for a table. I guess the powers to be didn't realize that we have many, many rural towns around that shop in Sioux City on a regular basis, not to mention driving there for their jobs.

Back At Ya
 
HOWDY AGAIN

Not often do I post twice a day but here I am. My soup was delicious and I had a roll with it so I was a 5 point meal and very satisfying. But I don't have a clue yet what I will make for dinner. Better start thinking so I can get it to thawing for all the meat is frozen. I do have some of those 2 point breakfast steaks in there and I could make a yummy breakfast for dinner. Yep I do believe that is what I will do.

JEAN I can just picture it in my minds eye and got a chuckle out of those squirrels just having to walk over and get a drink out of that bird bath. Lets me know how deep your snow is in your yard. Ours is just a skiff in comparison. We also have a tera cotta colored bird bath with a matching waterfall contraption. The waterfall is made up of tera cotta colored jars pouring into each other. Ah, when spring arrives it will get to working again. ;)

All y'all have a wonderful afternoon :wave:

Good evening, ladies. It's raining and cold.

The internet and phone got switched today and she finished in time for me to get to Bible study. I just got home and it is nearly my bedtime so I won't do personals tonight and I'll post tomorrow evening after I catch up on what everyone has been doing.
