Thanks for the welcome --I forgot to say that I am in Portland (OR). I also forgot to mention I am SORE from working out yesterday (and the day before). Went back to the gym today, because that's the only way to deal with sore muscles!0

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the kind encouragement. I think I'm just about at the point of a major mental meltdown. I have to chill a little bit and then I can go on.
My son called today and said that he and the kids are coming to my studio TOMORROW to work on the yarn bowl project for his wife. The kids are out of school tomorrow. Well, twice before, he bailed out on me, so I am not going to change my plans for him this time. I told him that it would have to be for an hour or so in the morning, because I have a co-op meeting at 1:00 and have to get ready for that, and at 5:00 I have a meeting for Empty Bowls. So, IF he shows up, and there's no guarantee he will, then I'm not sure if I can get it dried and fired in time for Valentines day, but I will try. Nothing like waiting till the last minute.
I came up to the studio this afternoon to finish the last of my drafting projects, so that's one load off my mind. Now I have to go shopping and get home in time to watch Downton Abbey. Hopefully it's not cancelled because of the super bowl. I don't care about that in the least, except for the cute commercials. Those I can see online.
In the morning I have to clean up the classroom area and get it ready for the meeting. We are having a bigger group at this one. Other artists are finding out about it and they want in! So,maybe I will put the kids to work! If they show up.
I'm afraid I've been skimming a lot lately, but I will take time to read everything as soon as I can.
Later, ladies!

Sylvia - Hope all goes well and smoothly tomorrow! :flowerforyou:
Welcome new ladies!
My arm has been sooooooo sore this evening, I've been icing it and taking a pain killer. Had a nap this pm as I felt quite exhausted and fluey. I'm still a bit hot. Good thing is, I'm not hungry. Wow! :noway: I had a very nice game stew, but I am foregoing the cheese tonight.
Becca - nice quotes!
Last episode of War and Peace tonight. It's been a superior series.Don't normally like adaptations, nor period dramas, but I did like this one.
Hope I sleep tonight, but I've got loads to read if my arm keeps me awake. I hope this reaction to the pneumonia jab doesn't go on too long.

Hi Ladies,
I've been on the go all day. Just finished working on a presentation I have to do for an interview. Took me almost 3 hours. Geesh...I feel like I work there already. Unbelievable the things companies put you through. I've had 7 interviews so far with 1 company. Anyway, it's good to have that amount of activity. I'm happy to do that prep work.
So I didn't exercise and think I probably won't today. I'm going to go make cauliflower chowder for me and make the boys their chicken wings and stuffed potato skins for the super bowl. (frozen...becasue no way I'm going to be spending time making that stuff!).
My son just rolled his eyes are me when I said I was rooting for the Panthers because I liked the color of their uniforms. Seriously...that's all I have to go on!!

Heather UK~ Sorry about your sore arm friend... I have a notebook that I write in every day, and have alot of quotes and sayings in it from here and there. I am a firm believer that in order for me to be successful, I need to "re-program my brain", so I gather these quotes and sayings to do that.

Had a wonderful Sunday. Went to church this morning. Afterward went for a long walk 11,279 steps for 4.7 miles. Feeling great. Took the day off from gym...a little cold. Will be back bright and early tomorrow. This logging of food is like Weight Watchers. I was in Weight Watchers for about 9 months. I lost 40 lbs and I'm still maintaining my weight. Staying motivated by reading other posting.

SylviaSylvia, good for you, not letting your son take advantage of you again.

Pip34 – Remember once I was on our treadmill and decided I'd punch it up a number; unfortunately where I was at the time had only gone up one number. This time, while standing on it and, walking, I hit the button and it kicked up 5 numbers. I looked like those cartoons you see that characters fall off the back of it. Fell into a chair around the table and got my wrist caught in the belt and it took off several layers of skin before I could finally get up. Like …. Whirl … whirl … whirl, whirl, kaboom! I mean to tell you ‘it caught me by surprise’ and nothing I could do but go with the flow. I was too embarrassed to tell DH; but, had to because of the bandage on my wrist … it left a burn on it. “Be Careful, Lenora … now I worry about you!” Don’t have to … I wasn’t going to get back on it for a while. That was a couple of years ago. I still hang on to the sides; and, I step off it when I am trying to turn it up.
Thank you, Becca, I will. Came back to see what had been posted; and, change my supper. Had gumbo that DSY made that was ‘in the freezer’. Something that I had put in … thinking … “Oh, I will know what this is later on.”… WRONG; … it was a pick a container and hope that it is good. Need to go back and label things that are in there. Gumbo and/or chili … thankfully I always store it in 2-person containers.
Heather UK – DH brought home the movie of “Pride and Prejudice”. I had to laugh saying, ‘Hells-Bells; I did not even read the Cliff Notes on that one in HS. Now that I have taken an interest in reading … I ‘might’ try to read some that I have only seen the movies … like “Gone With the Wind” … and others.
