post weekend, catching up on 20 pages, after date(s) update:
(also, if my random date updates bothers anyone or if no one actually cares, PLEASE let me know and i'll stop posting. seriously)
ok, i promise no fourth date (or another of the firsts) and i just chilled with netflix with the puppies for the day. but dude, did text me a few times to make sure i was doing ok, and to let me know that he really likes spending time with me and hopes he can keep doing so in the future. *squee*
I actually like when people do this kind of post because it is interesting and easy to read.
I'm glad that you finally found someone that is normal that you seem to be getting along with really well. I hope that continues.
Overall, it sounded like a good/fun weekend. 0 -

It is the middle of our three locations, and we did this two years ago. Really excited! Anyone live in/near the area and have suggestions on restaurants or things to do?
Then next Friday I leave to go to Illinois for eight days to visit my family, which won’t be as fun as the Girl’s Weekend. I haven’t mentioned this on here yet, but my dad was in a really bad car accident back in late May. He was traveling for work in Pennsylvania. He was in a hospital there for a week and then was transported back to Illinois and was in rehab for a week. He was able to go home even though he was still in quite a bit of pain. He started having really bad back pain, where he couldn’t walk, so he went to the ER. He was admitted to the hospital and they did surgery on his back. A week later they were getting ready to discharge him to rehab again and discovered that the incision was infected, so another surgery was done. He is currently still in rehab and physical therapy seems to be getting better, not great but better. He is scheduled to be discharged from rehab on Thursday, but that may change. I am going up there to hopefully help in any way that I can. He and my stepmom (who doesn’t drive) live with my grandmother (93), who can’t be left alone anymore. My aunt has been driving my stepmom back and forth to the hospital while a caregiver stays with my grandmother during the day. My one brother, who still lives in the area, is not helpful. The whole situation is not good and I really wish I lived closer so I could help. The hubby and kiddos are going on the trip too so please pray for me!
Really not sure I’ll be able to keep up over the next few weeks, which makes me a little sad. Even though I tell people to just jump back in; I’ll feel like I missed something.
I hope you have a fun weekend with the girls.
I am sorry to hear about your dad and that whole situation. Wish I had some advice but I don't. I'll just keep your family in my thoughts and hope things get better for them.0 -

Sold (Grundy County Auction) by John Michael Montgomery
Still Not A Player by Big Punisher
Thunder Kiss '65 by White Zombie
I also think this dates me a little.
Please don't judge that I haven't figured out how to use the shuffle on my iPhone
Totally sounds like my playlist. Sold by JMM, then Adrenaline by Shinedown, then maybe Bad by Michael Jackson.
I am all country all the time. Sometimes I have older rock that pops up...and I skip it. I will admit, I do have all Nickleback's albums on my ipod and when I am in the last stages of a run and need some extra motivation, I switch to all Nickleback. The beat helps me pick up my pace. And I LOVE Nickelback. I love that guy's voice. I will say in life he is ugly as sin.
Several years ago, I was treated to a concert by some friends. The groups were Sick Puppies, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin (LOVE THEM) and Nickelback! Nickelback was AWESOME! I know they get a lot of grief, but I think they're a really talented group of guys. Shinedown was really good too. I should see if I can find a picture from the concert and post it in the random pics thread in the batcave.

So, today has been a somewhat productive day! I called about a community program through United way for Raelynn, and talked to someone from the school district about getting services for her. I'm waiting on someone from United way to call me back, and waiting on a phone call from the preschool director to call me and set up an appointment to do an evaluation and fill out paperwork. I'm also going to the Family Connections office in Greenville tomorrow and see if someone can help me fill out the TEFRA paperwork, since I have trouble doing things over the phone. I'm not sitting around waiting, this needs to be settled ASAP!
We also made some new friends at the park today and found out about a Cinderella "princess" themed tea party on Wednesday, let's just say Raelynn is stoked about life right now!

I dropped a big blog of peanut butter onto the crotch of my black pants. I tried to clean it off, but peanut butter isn't the most cooperative, so I will most likely have this awful stain on the crotch of my pants all day.
I really don't like the word crotch.
Aww, that's sad! Hopefully no one notices.
I did that with my coffee a few weeks ago. I spilled some on my shirt. Then I probably looked like a nutcase because I ran to the roof of the parking garage and stood in the pouring rain to get my shirt wet enough where the stain would go away. So, I walked around work soaked until everything dried up. At least I got the stain out. I'm weird.0 -

I can honestly say I have never peed in a shower/pool/ocean. I will admit that I've tried, but my body just won't let it happen lol.
Same! Even in a boat on the lake with no head. I have to hold it until we get on land. This can be painful.0 -
I just got catcalled on my way to the grocery store. I NEVER get catcalled. I guess I had the amazingly sexy sweaty and uncomfortable look going for me.
I did pretty well! I admit I bought a small tub of ice cream, but I did NOT eat the whole thing, fortunatelyFluffySandwich wrote: »So far today I've only eaten a piece of bread because I've pretty much run out of food.

I am no longer lightheaded like I was earlier, but I'm still short on calories... maybe I'll have a few more spoonfuls of ice cream later

Oh man, sorry @ShibaEars and @FroggyBug but I laughed so hard at these. Totally with you, not at you though. Thanks for the mid-day chuckle 0 -

So I made myself stop reading here and get some work done, finally. I am totally in the unmotivated crew today. I am concerned about the possibility of severe weather at the scout camp where my husband and youngest son are until Wednesday. The words "tornado watch" and "tent camping" are not compatible.
@susieq -peanut butter pie is super easy. I think I was 13 when I made my first one. If you made dulcet de lecher, you've got this.
@tigerNY - I am lifting and eat at maintenance plus 1/3-1/2 of my exercise. I'm staying in my weight range and I am definitely seeing less fat and more muscle in the mirror. It's not easy, but it is working. By the end of the year, I want to be able to squat, bench press and deadlift my body weight.
@fluffysandwich, I would have to stop and buy a grilled chicken salad somewhere before I went to the store hungry. It's always a disaster when I shop hungry,
@froggybug - no judgment from me, for sure. I am no longer friends with the people who told me to leave my husband instead of working out our issues. It is your decision to make together, and everyone else can go hang. Good luck making it. (I will say that either of you choosing not to work on the problems is a decision to let the relationship end.)
@rungirl - so sorry for your daughter, my punk kid sister has this type of crippling anxiety attacks. I feel so helpless when she calls crying her heart out. Hugs for you both

Oh my. I'm so sorry, that is such a hard thing to do... even if it is a decision in your own best interest.
I admire your strength.
And, since I'm not caught up yet, Happy Birthday @ohgeeque Congrats on the triathlon @pofoster21 and glad to see you mobile (and baking!) again @Susieq_19940 -

Don't beat yourself up. If it fits in your calories then enjoy your carrot cake if it didn't fit in your calories still enjoy your carrot cake.
The only time you should get mad about eating something is if you're allergic or the food is awful! Now I could understand if it were Kale
.
Agreed! All the kale can burn in the fiery pits of hell. It is NOT food and should not pretend it is.
It really should! The first time I ate Kale I tried it in a salad with dressing & had to force myself to finish it. The second time I made Kale chips & they were so disgusting! I thought I got food poisoning from the Kale & it turned out to be the stomach bug. The last time I tried it in a store bought Kale chip package & still tasted like crap. I have finally learned my lesson to never eat them again.
Now Baby Spinach is yummy & I have been eating it as part of my lunch for weeks.0 -

I really don't like the word crotch.
With me it's usually something chocolate-ish that melts and smears... normally dropped on my chair, then transfers itself to my slacks... which then resembles excrement, I'm sure.

Me neither. I remember having major surgery when I was 19 and the first night I was given a bedpan to pee in... even though my bladder was close to bursting, it took a LOT of effort to pee while sitting in bed.
Aaaaand... four days later, I'm finally caught up!

I have to admit that the "lecher" typo made me giggle... I'm no lecher, I promise! And I wouldn't know how to make one if I tried...
I'm actually purposefully complicating it by making multi layers of chocolate ganache, peanut butter filling, whipped cream, etc., all of which will need separate assembling and cooling in between. I'm hoping to make something super special (and pretty!) to present to my in-laws. 0 -

My husband was telling me that he LOVED this game! I've never played it, but now I'm curious. I was lamenting selling my old school Nintendo years ago and wishing I had it to play some Zelda or Super Mario on again.

It was the first thing I ever really WORKED for and it taught me a lot about the value of money/time/effort. I'll be 39 next month and have to adult most days.... but MAN, I'd love to just spend a day playing the old games I loved!0 -

Way to stay on top of it. You are her best advocate. If you haven't already, start a notebook for her with all the doctor visit , therapy info, and her basic routine and things you try like the melatonin in it. You'll be able to trace what helps and what makes it worse.
My son was guaranteed to meltdown if he had chocolate when he was in elementary and middle school. It seems to be better now, but he won't eat much of it at a time anyway. We also had to have the school separate him from a boy who would pester my son into a meltdown at least once a week, usually to delay their spelling test.

Oh, no! I didn't even see that! Stupid autocorrect!!! I don't think you're a lecher, I promise! Ganache is not hard either, but I do understand why you're concerned now. Just think of it as stacking blocks and remember the whipped cream can frost the whole thing to hide any flaws. (I love baking, in case you missed it.)

I'll have to start keeping a notebook, definitely! I took a few notes of some concerns a while back when she was in therapy and it helped when talking to her therapist, so I'll have to start that regularly. (I don't know why I haven't done that already....)0 -

So do I! That's why I've gotten myself into a fever pitch of excitement about making something new. Do you think I can possibly get the ganache to lay absolutely smooth and flat on top of the peanut butter filling, without a ripple? That's how I'm imagining it in my head, but I'm pretty sure it would be really complicated to get it to look like that.. *sigh*
I was thinking that my best bet is to smooth the peanut butter filling with an offset spatula until it's as smooth as possible, then pour the liquid hot ganache over it and kind of tilt the pie this way and that to let it spread on its own (so I wouldn't make ripples with a spatula/spoon/whatever). Think it would work?0 -

I confess that I didn't grow up playing Mario and Zelda (I mostly played PlayStation 2 games). I think I played my first Zelda game at 17 or 18: Majora's Mask. It remains one of my favorite games EVER and definitely my favorite in the Zelda series My boyfriend and I have almost every single console out there. Harvest Moon is great and relaxing but I've been spending way too much time on it!

Has anyone heard from the piano playing name lady, the girl that lost a bunch of weight and then was struggling with anorexia, Marissafit or something like that, or Overlook?
I think her name is Krissy, but I haven't seen her post in the Gelato group for awhile & I also hope she's doing a lot better with her nutrition & exercise.

So sorry to hear about your dad's accident & all of the pain he's still going through. Thank God they caught the infection before he was discharged.0
