    help = less cravings/less weight on scale etc.

    I also am not sure what happens with the twins and now not ( I hope she didnt lose one....). She said the doctors say she is fine, so that is what counts.

    I finally made myself go to store on lunch, yesterday.... most of what I got, is ok... lunchmeat, maybe not so much... but, eating small/half sandwiches, so not quite so many bad things (maybe) really wanted strawberries and avocado (not together) one was pricey, other was hard as a rock.... really disappointed... anyway, hoping this helps a bit... gotta be better than Ramen and Mac and Cheese everyday...

    Have a great day all...

    I will have to apologize to lady at work who was having twins but now is only having one - I did not understand and it has upset her. Problem is I hear this through someone else. I honestly did not understand what she was trying to tell me. I hope to be able to complete her blankets, as I did not mean her any harm.

    Just another day of my week from "kitten" land.

    Wishing everyone a good night.

    THURSDAY

    Good morning,

    Rain is here and will stay through Saturday - think inches of rain and feet of snow. Its an honker. Short dog walks - will make her wear her red sweater.

    Quiche for lunch and fried rice for dinner.

    Trying to figure out next week meals - zucchini is out of season - what to stuff like a zucchini? Just a thought.

    Wave to all who follow. Lurking as usual. Make it your best Thursday.

    Hello All~~

    Sara - that is something about the lady who lost one of her twins. I would never have thought of that. Don't know what else to say on that, but it surely has me thinking of what petty things I complain about.

    Dawn - good for you to try to get good food for lunch. I hear you on the strawberries and the avocado. I love both, but they often aren't ready when I want them.

    It is another day of darkness and rain and aching body because of the weather. I looked at the national map. The left coast is getting hit as Sara has said, and there is a doozy of a storm building up on the east coast.

    Tess, be careful that you don't get blown away! Oh - and Missy too!
    Waves to Kathryn and Annie and Saltine~~

    I have been in quite a funk lately.

    Lunch will be a nice big salad--maybe I should hard boil some eggs? Hey Dawn - would hard boiled eggs help out with your lunch options?

    BBL
    I will be hiding under my oversized beach towel on my favorite lounge chair

    (Forgot to weigh this morning.....)

    Good evening,

    Calm between 2 storms and the next one is worse, so I swept away the debris left in front of my place "to stop flooding" - cant hurt.

    One of my knitting friends online her dd just lost a twin early in pregnancy - they just stop developing. Hope to speak to young lady at work tomorrow she was out today - mutual coworker agreed - she did not explain things well to me so it stands to reason that I didnt "get it".

    My online tv/movie station is "off" at the moment so knitting with dvd's.

    Stay warm and dry out there.

    wrapped up my food diary for the day and somehow was way under. will have to print this day out and do it again!
    have been doing WI each morning to see what that looks like, typically i only weigh once a week. had to laugh because one morning I was 164, next morning 159.5!

    Sara - sad to hear about the co-worker who lost a twin. hope she and other baby are doing well.

    Dawn - think i will follow your lead and boil some eggs

    Tess - sorry about the fine but that story was hilarious! my DD just had to re-home her cat. he is a lover but definitely NOT that smart!

    Lana - hope you get out of your funk soon

    FRIDAY

    Good morning,

    Worst day of our storm is today - Nor'easter as well. I hope to do my errands tomorrow morning, so I need to watch for flooding as I have small car. At least it will be light out.

    I had also planned on hard boiling eggs last weekend - so maybe this weekend instead.

    Kathryn - I would make myself nuts weighing everyday - like why isnt that low # when I officially weigh in?? Lana says - at least you have seen the #.

    I got tired of looking at 99 on my friends thing - and found quite a few people have stopped by since this thread was started - so maybe there are out there reading?? Never know.

    TGIF, wave to all who follow and stay safe out there.

    Ahhh.... well, I guess I shouldn't have laughed at your cat's antics Tess. discovered mine can open the bedroom and closet doors, as well as, open the lower kitchen cabinet doors. that answers a lot of questions as to how certain things happened and who did them! caught her in the act last night. obviously, she has been doing this for awhile now, we just never knew it was her!
    when she knew she'd been caught, she gave us such an i'm-so-innocent-and-oh-so-cute look that we couldn't help but laugh. now off to store to buy childproofing gadgets!

    Good morning All~~

    Wow is it windy here. I'm glad that old oak tree is gone. The wind has never before today blown over my back yard umbrella. It was down and tied closed, but now I see it has fallen over, and it has a very heavy base.
    But! The sun is shining brightly, and I am so glad to see that.

    As with Lana, high winds here in DC. Constant wind with scary gusts. DH says it sounds like the ocean so am trying to pretend we’re at the beach. :smile: I have an unexpected day off - the federal government closed due to weather so my org is closed too as we follow the Fed schedule. Was a bit surprised at the closure - wind, really? - but DH pointed out that the bridges into DC are likely closed or in danger of closing.

    Kathryn, these kitties are so clever, aren’t they? I laughed at your story in solidarity.

    (Earlier this week, I realize I responded to a comment by Dawn but called her “Sara.” Apologies to you both - I do know the difference!)

    BBL,

    Tess - I am not insulted. Taking walk at work while the sun still shines here - wind gusts yesterday were stiff and will be later today tomorrow - these storms go west to east so it is on its way??

    No sun - clouds but rain has not started yet......

    Good evening,

    Strong wind and hail reported again with good dose of rain.

    NSV (non scale victory) - in the past couple of weeks my selection of cookies did not make it past Wednesday/ Thursday - I just checked I just broke the half empty (2 sections in cookie container) mark tonight. May want to buy more of those - 4 ingredients= butter, wheat flour, egg and sugar (butter cookie wreaths).

    Enjoying my citrus scentsy.

    Dog poop patrol starts today - great timing such wet weather.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay warm and find comfort.

    SATURDAY

    Good morning. Bright moon greets Miss T and I this morning. Good chance of rain later today.

    Seems someone at work was trying to start "kitten" between the pregnant lady and myself. Got to get that cleared up yesterday. Just shaking my head, but glad the pregnant lady and I are all square again.

    Fried rice,quiche, and stuffed bell peppers to make this weekend - the Asian store sometimes has ground chicken but if they dont then I will get soy crumbles for the peppers.

    Knitters out there, found a coffee mug at Staples online that said "the only place where housework comes before knitting is in the dictionary" - had to share.

    I am looking for a coffee mug for myself and a lady at work for her birthday who "wants nothing". She is the lady who has driven me to appointments for my eyes when I could not drive myself home. So wanted something for her. My 2018 calendar March is a painting of a coffee mug, so I want another one.

    Hoping for a little more ZZZ.

    Happy Saturday everybody!

    Sara - That is awful that someone at work is so *kitten* as to want to spend their time doing bad things between two other human beings--especially involving the premature loss of a baby. Steer clear of that person, as I'm sure you do. What bad things must have happened to that person to make them that way. Sad.

    The quote about housework and knitting is excellent!!!

    So it's going to be wet for the first day of Poop Patrol? I wonder if they actually will be doing the patrol. Who has this glorious assignment? The security people? The landscapers/maintenance people, or did they get some outside company to do this? I know it isn't practical, but I have a vision of Sara sitting on her front porch, knitting, Tillie at her feet, and keeping tallies on the Inspectors. LOL!

    Sun is shining today. I'm glad I'm not up in NYC; they had quite a day yesterday with the storm and wind.

    Waves to Dawn and Missy and Tess and Kathryn and Saltine and anyone else who pops in later on~~

    Sara m, I love this! And oh so true for me...if I’m being honest, there are a LOT of activities that come before housework for me!

    The winds have seemed to have died down to a dull roar. So far, we still have power and all our trees - very luck indeed. Others weren’t so fortunate.

    Good morning Tess~~

    Glad your winds have died down. Now why is it still so bad here in NC? I have never seen wind like this with the sun shining. It is blowing as it does sometimes during some scary summer storms. Maybe I've just not been here for it. It is just a tad unnerving to me.

    Well, I just planned out and entered my food-day in the MFP thing. If I can stick to it, I'll need to print up today, because it should be a good, repeatable one.

    We survived Riley or so I hear that’s what it was called. We were lucky to not have lost power nor sustained any damage. My mom lost power though and is still without. Some parts of the state got hit harder than others.

    Missy where do you live? You are somewhere in the Northeast..... Sorry to hear your mom is without power. Yikes! When my parents were living they had a house out in dairy country in Saratoga County, NY, and they would lose power several times per winter and summer. I was glad when they finally got a generator! Gah.

    Missy - you might even find when you are house-hunting that some of the houses on the market might have the generator already in place.

    My parents built their house and put in two wood-burning stoves. Then when they got older and the wood schlepping was too much for them, they replaced those stoves with ones that looked the same but burned propane. They had two huge tanks outside the house, and the generator used the same propane fuel. It was a pretty slick setup.

    Missy - Keep on looking....something will turn up! Just be sure to leave your rose-colored glasses at home when you go house hunting. DH and I failed to do so, and having this place in NC has been quite an experience. :open_mouth: You seem pretty sensible though. :smiley:

    SUNDAY

    Good morning,

    Dog knows her routine better than I do. 2:30 and 3:30 are hard to tell from the angle I see the wall clock from. So she had to wait a little longer than usual.

    Groceries, then cooking and hand wash dishes (plastics, frying pans etc).

    Couple days of clearing before next storm, so will take advantage of the good weather and walk /walk dog.

    BBL.
