I had two giant baskets of peaches yesterday, and it did not go as well as planned, lol.
The first basket was half full of peaches that I think might have gotten frozen in the fridge so I had to throw them out as they were all mushy and gross. My guy delivered them last Sunday, so I had to fridge them so they would not go bad before this past Sunday, and because it is a fridge downstairs that was empty, I think it was too cold.
The skinning part was super hard.....like 1% of them came off properly.....most of them I had to peel manually. I think some of them were not ripe enough again, in the fridge that takes a while, should have taken them out before Saturday afternoon, ugh. My son ate a few leftover ones last night and said they were kinda hard, so I am hoping the sealing process made the other ones softer.
Then we lost a jar, and I use the really large jars. The last batch was sealing and I could smell sugar or something so I check and the bottom of a jar is broken right off and there were peaches everywhere
I only got six large jars out of two large baskets. Last year I had Monday picked peaches that we canned on a Thursday and they were perfect. When I am ready for my next batch I am gonna ask them to be picked on Wednesday since I have to do the canning on a Sunday.
Now I am gonna have to do two more sets instead of one because this batch was so crappy......
But, on the bright side, I have six more jars of peaches that I did not have yesterday......0 -
Speaking of dancing- did I tell you guys I was in the newspaper for sharing a dance with a resident at the local Veterans' Home on Independence Day? (I can't remember if I shared and don't want to look back through pages...) I was volunteering, helping serve lunch and just chatting with the residents. When he found out I was from Texas, he asked if I could 2 step and I said, "Of course!" The reporter took a pic of us dancing and it was published in the Sunday paper. My DH doesn't dance.
ETA: That's my husband standing behind the fence in the background watching.
Are we sharing our dancing exploits? Up until I moved away from the area a couple of years ago, I danced with a school that catered for both kids and adults really well. I loved it because it offered both beginner and advanced classes in lots of styles. Having danced as a kid (a lot) but never taken it seriously, I'm not a beginner but I'm not a pro. So this suited me.

And in case you're wondering, I'm the one who got picked as the title shot! That crazy smiley lady with the glittery hat, yup that's me. What I lack in technical ability, I make up for by giving good FACE.

Exactly! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my ring, I mean, it's gorgeous, but I love the reason behind the ring even more. In this day and age, it is a real accomplishment to be married to the same person for 15 years. Not only married, but still in and falling in love with that person.

I miss you guys. I have been having a bit of a rough time. I'm seeing a trend of this as I read through. I hope everyone is doing alright, and I will check in as I can.
What's wrong? I hope everything is ok......
Everything is OK. My mom had back surgery, and then a few days later had a stroke. She is alright, but her brain still isn't working quite right. She had a heck of a time trying to explain things to the ER, and my brother (who was with her at the time) called my sister instead of me.No one called me at all until like 4 days later. I had no clue.
My sister went to the hospital, and before she left, she dropped a bag of drugs somewhere in the exam room. When my mom tried to leave the hospital the next morning, cops were waiting outside to arrest her, because when the hospital staff cleaned her room, they found a bunch of heroin. She was super upset and scared about her brain issue, and then almost got arrested. She was banned from that hospital! I mean, really. Does no one have any common sense? I swear to goodness that I was switched at birth.
Wow, omg that is horrible. I'm so sorry to hear that all of this happened to you and your mom.0 -

Yesterday at the race expo, I was buying a new reflective vest to be able to run early am/late pm (to keep my motivation commitments) and the guy sized me up and said 'you're pretty petite you may not need...". PRETTY PETITE! OMG. No one has EVER called me that. I wanted to kiss him. My friend, who is ALWAYS petite, just rolled her eyes when I turned to her and said...Did you hear what he said?????????????????????????
That looks like a beautiful day for a race. I love misty/foggy days personally. Nice pictures.
You are so pretty too and you do look very petite. I'm glad that comment from that guy made your day. 0 -
I can't keep any dessert type snacks in my house like cookies or cake or chocolate because I am incapable of eating them in moderation.

Mr. Mo and I went to World Market yesterday and ended up buying almost $200 worth of stuff. They have a lot of non-American food there, and I was really happy walking through the UK stuff because it reminded me of all my friends across the pond. I bought several things that I had never had before and I wanted to buy a box of chocolate digestives, but they were $5 and I couldn't justify it. Maybe next time. I will take a picture of all my goodies and post them in the random pics thread tonight.
You all are a bad influence on me and I don't really mind.0 -

We have a peach tree in our yard and it has only given up tiny sweet peaches.
Confession: Tonight I slathered myself in a blend of coconut, tea tree, and cinnamon oils on top of my prescription cream(after it dried) and I smell mostly like cinnamon. As long as I don't smell like a rotting mushroom that is FINE BY ME!
Confession: Today was my dad's 63rd birthday and I had a slice of cake and didn't log it.
Confession: After gaining 2 pounds yesterday(bringing me to 186 lbs), I had a woosh when I woke up this afternoon and the scale said 183. I'm not believing it until I get tomorrows reading as well.
Way to go on the loss and Happy Birthday @Lilaclovebirdsdad!0 -

*I work on a college campus so my view may be slightly skewed, I've seen a lot of near misses with students just because they're not paying attention.
I tend to wear mine in public when traveling (mostly air travel) or if I went somewhere specifically to study or do grad homework, so that I DON'T pay attention to my surroundings. That said, I don't think I could ever have both earbuds in if I were running on a busy street because I'd be too worried about being run over!
Fester's gonna hate me - I wear my headphones pretty well any time I walk anywhere. I try to drive as little as possible, so when I walk places (like my half hour walk to work) I listen to audiobooks because it's so damn boring making the same trek on the same street day after day. At least I get some "reading" in that way.
I can't fathom why that would be irritating to someone though. It's not like listening to something makes me unable to watch where I'm walking, and the only conversation I'm avoiding is with panhandlers and people pushing religious pamphlets...
Me too. I walk and sometimes take public transportation and (gasp) used to study in a coffeeshop with them in. And around here, it seems like the grocery stores always have some organization begging for donations outside.
Confession: It really annoys me that kids around here beg for their extracurricular activity funds. I can't tell you how many cars I washed for yearbook club or how many candy bars I sold for everything else!
Another confession: If you come up to me and say that because I don't have kids I should buy some cookie dough or giftwrap from yours, I ain't doing it.
Yet another confession: That white chocolate macadamia nut is soooooooo good that it's a loss for both of us.0 -

Mine went well! It was perfect weather, just a few clouds & it was cooler to start off with, which is nice. The route took us through a really nice park, with lots of trees and a couple ponds. I finished in about 33 minutes.0 -

HIYA ALL! This weekend was pretty busy, I worked Saturday and went to accupuncture. Yesterday was stupidly hot so we helped the mancreature's parents with some landscaping (I needed some sun anyway so I wore my bikini top and shorts). We also went to GNC (all the Quest Bars were on sale!!), I got to finally try the chocolate mint one and I love it! I also bought Quest protein powder (Peanut butter), which wasn't available before in Canada. I've got two months until my half marathon and the wedding that I'm a Bridesmaid in, time to tighten things up and get back into the swing of things! Lol0

Yep... what happened to the days of bottle drives, bake sales, and car washes? I love it when someone brings in their kid's chocolate bars to peddle... and they usually disappear fast, so I'm not the only one.
I don't ever get the "because you don't have kids" spiel but I'll go along with that argument the day someone throws me a puppy showerriderfangal wrote: »Where is everyone??

Well I went to the dr the other day because my one foot hurts like crazy all the time. I just thought it was because I was walking so much more than I had done previously. Nope apparently I have this in my left foot.
Does using a tensor bandage help any cause it is really painful?
Not that I know.
The best thing is a frozen water bottle rolled under for a while in the evening and really good shoes!
I did go and buy new shoes and I am going to try the water bottle tonight . Freezing it as we speak. I don't mean to be whiney but it's just about bringing me to tears tonight.
Would you be able to go to physio for it? They'll be able to give you tips & exercises/stretches to help you get better.

I just saw this happen... but it didn't even last one week. They broke up after four days. Made me cringe.
I want to say to these people "Can't you just text each other your nauseating messages?!"0 -

Ugh I was dreading weighing myself because in the past, I got too stuck on the numbers and it hindered my weight loss and was very discouraging. I stupidly took the advice of other and weighed myself for the first time in well over a year after my swim at the pool and I'm 20lbs heavier than I thought I was. Ugh.
I feel so crappy now and wish I'd never done that. I was going to just use a measuring tape to keep tabs on losses. I wish I had listened to myself rather than others.0
