Wow! Good thing you didn't try to come today. We're having a blizzard!!!!!!!

Feeling better today! Yeah!

I hope it doesn't get too bad for you. Sounds like it already is though. We had a bit of snow flurries and rain this morning, but all day it has been so very windy with light rain. Trash cans and chairs blowing down the roads. Tree branches falling, electric lines of some type coming loose. It hasn't stopped yet. Cold too. I wasn't going to work today, but I found out later they were informing all not to come in to work due to weather.

I hope you have a good weigh in tomorrow. I think I will be brave and weigh-in. I still feel somewhat bloated but need to get back on track again now.

Have a good Saturday!

Down 1/2 lb today. Hope you have better luck than that.

Was able to eat a bit more regular food today. I am so glad. I was so sick of being nauseated all the time. Everything all tasted the same. Just yucky. Plus I have never had my stomach expand that big before. It is getting down to more regular size now. I kept saying that something was wrong, but of course the Doctors didn't believe me before I got seriously sick.

How much snow did you get? Is it still windy there? We had sun and wind today. A lot of houses show more damage now. I saw more trees down today and siding on houses missing, fallen, screens gone, etc. Does the wind scare your horses? Or are they use to it by now?

Hope you have a good Sunday!

Went for a small walk today with the hubby and dog. It was cold but sunny. Also made it to church. Back to work tomorrow for me. I will have loads of work to catch up on. Hope you have a very, very Happy Birthday!

Now I am thinking you must have gone away this weekend. Hopefully somewhere fun. Either that or your power is still down. There are some homes here still without power. I hope you are well. Guess I will give you another day.

Nothing too much going on here. Does the time change this weekend? Seems like it will. Just checked on line and saw it does on Sunday, 11 March. It was nice seeing some daylight on my way in the office today. I have a few more days to enjoy it.

Have a good Tuesday!

We finally got our electric back on this morning! There are still some homes without power in the area and now I see they want yet another storm Monday.....I feel sorry for the people without generators. We were ok, just disconnected from the world for a while and a bit chilly.

I doubt my weigh-in will show anything. I ate comfort food to pass the time!

My weigh-in today shows down 2.5 lbs. Yahoo!!!!:carrot: Got to keep it going, and moving on down...really I just lost it from being sick and not being able to eat. It would have been hard for me if I was in your shoes with the power outage. I would have eaten a lot of food too. Now you can get back on track again. Glad your power is back up once again. I missed chatting with you.

Tomorrow I have a mini-walk planned. Hope the weather cooperates. I think we are suppose to get rain/snow mix in the afternoon.

Spent a good part of the day shredding papers. I can believe all the old records I have. I decided to just keep the last 10 years. So that means I have a ton of paperwork to go through. I will get there eventually. I have two paper shredders and they both over heated today. :)

Time change tonight. Time to spring ahead. Spring into that new body you have been slowly shaping into a more healthy one....

Still cool day but sunny. Had a nice day at church and spending time with the dog. Had another walk planned for the walking group today, but no one showed up. One lady was going to but she is not doing so good right now. She just started on chemo pills, so she is pretty much out of things now. Understandably so, I hope she recovers. Her 3rd round with cancer. Just so sad. Perhaps I will try to stop by to see her next weekend and just say hi. Well today is just flying by with the time change. Hope you had a good luncheon.

Did someone say Spring is less than 2 weeks away? I can't wait!

I doing fine. Thanks for asking. Busy day today and for next few days. I won't get much free time. Will try to make up for it over the weekend. I am so much ready for the warmer weather, well at least in the 50-60s would be nice. I'm tired of wearing multiple layers for everything I do. I feel like a bag lady. Ha ha. Just makes me feel so much larger than I am, well I hope it just feels that way anyway. I hope you have a great Wednesday!

Worked in the yard this morning trimming bushes and mowing the leaves and grass. Looks better now. Wanted to get it done before the colder weather gets here. It is already windy and cold. We are only suppose to get rain and snow. No accumulation. Hope you don't get too much snow.

I got a walk/run event tomorrow I will be going to for St. Patrick's Day. I think it is going to be really cold. I am already freezing today. If I didn't already sign-up, I probably wouldn't go. I don't want to get sick if the weather is too bad.

Ate a lot of food over the past couple of days. Not too much at once, but just a lot of grazing. I don't know how that will impact me this week. Hopefully not too bad. Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow.

Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I had a meeting after church to plan my rummage sale. Everything is falling into place. I need to start advertising in the local papers this week. Tomorrow I will call in the Easter flower order to the florist. Then I need to start a list of things I need for my Sunrise Service breakfast. I can't believe Easter is in 2 weeks!

Sounds like you had a good walk. I need to get back out in the fields and see how many more branches came down with the wind we had a couple of weeks ago.

Have a great Monday!

Started off cold today, but warmed up to 60 by mid-afternoon. Really nice out with sunshine.

Ate too much today. Tried out some new recipes and just sampled too much. So I am stuffed. Will have to make up for it over the next few days.

Yes, Easter is zipping right up. You will have fun with the rummage sale and breakfast. That is great that you are involved in supporting that. I bet it is fun every year.

Hope you have a great Monday!

Okay, so I didn't really need the fruit bites, but they are so good. I just felt like I was missing something from my food. Seemed to satisfy me for now.

Took my dog to the vet today because of his scratching non-stop. He got a few medical shots, blood work, a special shampoo, and will be checked for various allergies. Now I am $600+ dollars poorer. I need to get dog medical insurance. Ha ha. I just want him to be healthy and happy again. Hopefully I am not just a sucker handing out money. Time will tell.

Looks like we have some more snow headed this way over the next couple of days. We are only suppose to get a few inches. That probably means a 10 inches for you. Just the way to start off the next season. Happy Spring!

What do you plan on planting in your raised garden beds?

We only had a few snow flurries this afternoon. Suppose to get 6-10 inches. Most people left work early, so there were traffic jams for 2-3 hours. I just waited and stayed longer at work. Then it was a clear breeze going home. So much easier then sitting and waiting on the road.

I suspect you will get a bunch of snow. Hope it doesn't get too bad for you.

I need to buy some new clothes. I was hoping to have my size down a bit more by now. However, things don't always go according to plan. Need to jump in on some of the winter sales before they are all gone. Perhaps I can squeeze a day in this weekend.

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

We're supposed to get 12-15 inches of heavy snow with wind up to 40 mph. I'm sure there will be power outages again. Hope we're not affected by it.

I'm going to plant tomatoes, stringbeans, peppers, carrots, beets, lettuce, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli and herbs. There's going to be 3 4'x12', 2 2'x12' and 2 2'x4' beds. The whole thing will be in a 32 x 32' space enclosed by an 8 ft tall fence.

Got all my laundry done in case we lose power. Sam stopped at the grocery store on his way home from worked and picked up a few things, so we are good.

Stay safe!

No work today due to the weather. Very icy out this morning, and began snowing later in the morning and all day. The town plowed the roads but they will be icy again in the morning with more snow. I expect to be off again tomorrow, but we shall see. We didn't get that much snow, maybe 4-5 inches, but other parts of our state got more. How much snow did you get?

Going to watch a movie this evening, the new Jumanji (from Redbox), eat Pizza, enjoy the fireplace fire, and watch it snow. Just a relaxing evening. Busy most of the day sorting through papers and going through our stuff trying to downsize.

Hope you have a warm Thursday!

We got about 9 inches and it's still snowing. At least the wind isn't blowing like they said and it's really not that cold out. It should melt pretty quick.

We watched a movie "The Legend of Ben Hall" this afternoon. Saw the new Jumanji a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed it. Dwayne Johnson graduated high school near here.

Went grocery shopping and finished up my lists for next week. Sent in a few more ads for my rummage sale. Trying to get all my ducks in a row so everything goes smoothly.

Really nice out today. Tomorrow I will work on getting my purple martin gourds ready to go. I pre-nest them with chopped hay, then put a piece of painters tape over the opening until I see them. That way the sparrows won't take over the nests before the martins come back.

I really need to start picking up branches around the fields again. I'm sure lots came down with the last storm.

Hope you have a great Saturday weigh-in!

Sunny today but still a cold breeze. Most of our snow is gone now. I can see my lilies coming up already. That is strange. I thought they would come up later in the year. Guess some come out earlier. Need to sell or pass off my Boston ferns to someone. I have two big pots that I will move back to my porch once it gets warmer out, but eventually will have to get rid of along with some flower pots. Guess I will post them on Craig's list.

Ate some PIM cookies this evening. That wasn't the best idea especially with weigh-in tomorrow. Luckily, it was only about 6-7 cookies for me rather than the whole box, but that was more than I should have eaten.

Still sorting through boxes and papers here......oh what fun. Now I am paying the price for putting it all off for years. Sometimes it does get interesting with what I find though. Old drawings or stories we wrote, or how much we payed per month for our first house, etc. Time has sure flown by.

Hope you have a good weigh-in.

Spent the day cleaning house and doing laundry. Also gave my dog a bath with his new medicated shampoo. He seems to scratch less and smells so much better. I'm glad he is starting to feel better.

Oh, no weight loss for me this week. That stinks. I need to get myself in gear and start jogging again. Now that the snow is about gone, perhaps I will do that. Hope you did better than me.

Wow, can't believe tomorrow is Palm Sunday already. Time is just flying by. Don't have anything special planned for tomorrow. Checked for some religious videos at the library, but all the good ones are checked out. For Easter, it will be spent with family and relatives. I haven't decided if I will give out baskets this year or not. Perhaps something different. Not sure yet.

Have a Happy Palm Sunday!

Worked outside raking the stones off the grass. They usually get pushed onto the grass when they plow. I need to prune back my beautybush. It has gotten way too big for the space it's in. Lots to do, but I love being outside!

I have a luncheon tomorrow after church. I'll need to watch my choices.

It was cold, but nice and sunny today. So called a friend to join me at the dog park so our dogs could play. As soon as we both got there, it began raining, then sleet, hail, and snowing. After 30 minutes we decided to call it quits and left. Then 30 minutes later the sun came back out. It was that kind of crazy weather day. I got drenched, but the dogs loved the play time.

How are things coming together for your Easter Sunrise Service breakfast? Is there going to be a large crowd?

It was chilly here with a couple of snow flurries. After church, Chris and I built one of the raised beds for the new garden.

Everything is going fine for the Easter breakfast and I usually have around 45 people. I've done it for quite a few years.

The rummage sale is April 13 and 14 and I have it in the church basement. I have a group of helpers and we start setting up on the 11th. We have lots of good fellowship. I also have a bake sale and we sell lunch to customers.

Are you going to have a yard sale for the items you're not taking with you or do you put them in storage?

The birds are definitely out and about here. It sounds like spring for sure. We even have some frogs singing in the early morning in the nearby ponds. Daffodils are getting ready to bloom. Tulip trees are flowering and the buds can be seen on other trees too. Spring is in the air! Saw a red-headed woodpecker on our tree one morning, and a few more in another neighborhood too.
:bunny2:

We probably won't have a yard sale. Just put a few things on Craig's list, and what doesn't sell, then donate to the local animal shelter thrift shop. After Easter, we will be in full force mode for working on our house, and getting things organized.

Well I haven't made much progress on my weight goal these past few weeks. So is it time to get myself in gear and start on the next level of success. I can't slack off too long or it will become the wrong type of habit to have. Only want to have good eating and good exercise habits. So it is time to up my focus once again.

Thank you for the Easter card. I got it today. Hope you have a wonderful Happy Easter! Have a wonderful Sunrise breakfast and service!

Hope the weather cooperates too for the next week. Will make do with whatever we have.

I got to keep focused on making sure I stick to healthy foods, and if I do eat something off course, then it is with moderation. I have to be honest and say I know I will probably have a few pieces of chocolate.

How are things going for you? Did you have a nice Easter? We had a nice one. The sky was blue, but we had snow all around us a few feet deep. It was melting quickly. I actually found a warm spot and sat out in the sun for about an hour on Saturday. It was gorgeous out. Easter was nice too. We had a nice time with family, but the time passed by too quickly.

I have to admit that I did not stick to my healthy eating goals very well. However, I will get back on track this week and stay focused. How well did you do?

Tomorrow off to the Doctor to see how they want to deal with this kidney stone that is lodged in my body and too big to come out on its own. Currently, it is not bothering me but it will in time. So I hope they have a somewhat simple procedure. :D Wishful thinking.

This month will be a busy one for you. How did your Easter service breakfast turn out?

Glad you had a nice Easter with family. My church breakfast went great. I had 42 people and the weather was perfect. We had a quiet Easter dinner at home, then it snowed hard the next day. Most all has melted away with todays rain.

i lost 1/2 lb. last week and can you believe I didn't have any Easter candy. Not even 1 jelly bean! I'm so happy!

This week I'm getting ready for my rummage sale. Lots going on here.

I hope they can do something easy to fix your kidney stone. You must be busy too.
