    Sarah you gave me a laugh, how did those kit kats jump into your mouth! >:) and why doesn't brocolli just as easilly jump in? and while we're at it, a sleeve of thin mints >:) , yeesh, that sounds like me! I avoid the siren call of the girl scout order form like the plague. I remember the days when the boxes filled up my hallways at home! I used to love freezing the thin mints, yum <3

    Anyway, I prelogged food today and am rocking a pair of boots, just for the fun of it, gonna be an interesting Wednesday.

    Sarah, Ontario Oddly enough, Olivia had gained too much weight due to her kidney malfunction, so the goal had been for her to get back down to her birth weight, which I believe was accomplished once she was on dialysis. But your question made me realize we haven't been asking about whether she is gaining weight and growing longer, normal sorts of things to be asking about, so we shall ask about that the next time. We did notice the last couple of photos Olivia seems to be back on oxygen. We are careful to ask only a couple of questions so we don't create a barrage coming at them. It's still a fragile situation, both with Olivia and with Katie in many ways...

    Lanette and Sarah LOL!!! The dreaded Little Debbie and KitKat flanking maneuvers are apparently well-known among strategists. They join the ranks of Cheetos, Thin Mints, and Donuts, who are also sneaky and seductive with their siren songs. The CEO of my company says if it tastes good, spit it out. Not pretty, but good advice. He is over 70 and as trim as when he was a teenager.

    Barbie You made me laugh about your head not holding both a headlamp and bluetooth headphones. I guess you just need an extra hand as you said! They do make LED lamps attached to a retractable dog leash. I prefer a regular leather leash rather than the retractable variety, so that wouldn't work for me, but the headlamp option is fine. Curious about which brand of bluetooth headphones you like? I'm not happy with my headphones.

    Wildfires destroyed portions of 2 small Southwestern Colorado towns that I drive through on my way "home" from Denver when I visit. It's disorienting and saddening to read about and see the pictures of Fleming and especially Haxtun, both of which I have driven through numerous times in my life. Fleming has a police department that writes a ton of speeding tickets every year which generates a lot of money for the town. The speed limit applies way past the town proper to the edges of the town and you don't dare go one mile an hour over the speed limit until you are PAST the sign that indicates you can resume highway speed. My mom got a ticket in Fleming when she was on her way to Sterling for radiation treatment for her breast cancer in 1978. The police officer was a horrid man, I am sorry to say. Not an ounce of kindness or apology, just a mean old b@$t@rd who took pleasure in lecturing an already fragile woman about speeding. She was going <5 miles over the speed limit. That was a long time ago but it still makes me mad...oh my, my mind went off on a tangent, LOL!!!

    Becca How is your no shampoo experiment coming along? B)

    Heather, we read a lot of the Ruth Galloway books last year, looks like Griffiths has a couple new ones out - I think I can download them from the library. Thank you for the reminder! <3

    It really is a good mystery series!!

    Lanette - We are reading the latest, THE CHALK PIT.

    Heather UK xxxxxxx

    PS - For any one else, they are best read in order of writing as the characters develop.

    Pip- AWww! Puppy Floyd! <3
    Sarah and Lynette- The girl scout cookies and the little Debbie's! I remember being able to eat those and not have a problem. Now I have problems! I have not ordered a box of GS cookies in years! I used to order about $30-$40 worth every year (all of my family had different "favorites"). I don't buy the Little Debbie's anymore either. As a matter of fact, I generally don't go in the chip, cookie, sweet areas of the store. My hubby on the other hand; after I shop, he usually goes out and shops for his "cupboard". That is where he keeps the treats. I just noticed he also has about 6 different cartons of Ben and Jerry's in the freezer. :/ As long as he leaves my wine and dark chocolate with chili alone, it's all good.
    Karen- I just told my hubby and son the same thing your CEO says "If it tastes good, spit it out!" Well, my advice was, "if it tastes good, it probably isn't that good for you." The guys were comparing protein bars and my sweet loving hubby doesn't like the healthier ones.
    Tonight is Tikka Masala night! I will probably serve these with more roast potatoes (potatoes were on sale this week) and perhaps some cauliflower...
    The sun is out and it is beautiful, but very windy. I took the kids out for a walk after lunch. I only have four here today because the others are home with the flu. I hope that stays away! ttfn KJ (kelly)

    Happy hump day!

    DJ - Hurray for cute firemen! Only thing better is cute guys in kilts. What a nice service your Moose group is providing for those children.

    Kate - I worry about the long term side effects, but I take omeprazole every single day. Without it I tend to randomly toss my cookies. This started a few months after I (very happily) had my gall bladder removed. My doctor knows about it, and as she said, you have to be able to eat. Anyhow, hope it works for you, or that the ultrasound gives you a definitive answer about your gall bladder.

    drkatiebug - That's quite a workout! I love rowing... thinking about getting rid of the stationary bike and getting a rowing machine instead.

    Becca - I like your posts, including the hair and nudist posts. (A long long time ago Philip and I used to skinny-dip on Saturdays with a bunch of cavers who swam on private land near Austin.) There's a nude beach on Lake Travis but I've only been there once because it was kind of skeevy. Sometimes there's just so much to go through I don't comment on everything, but you've inspired me to consider letting my hair color go for awhile to see what's under there now. Would sure save me a bundle not to color it.

    Re - I'm a native Texan, but I still feel like an oddball outside my own circle of friends a lot of the time, especially when I'm not near Austin (which is its own separate thing). Do you know Philip and I actually had someone utter the words, "You're not from around here, are you?" to us at a gas station in Ozona? The weirdness that prompted it? Philip was wearing a fanny pack.

    Mia - Miss Meriweather is just adorable! Miss Luna has to get a bath this week - she's starting to get a hot spot. Her checkup is Friday, and I think I'll ask the vet about having her shaved for the summer.

    Cathy - Hey, celebrate your half-pound loss! At least you're going the right direction!


    Philip and I went to a horse show this weekend. I always kind of thought we'd have horses some day, but I think at this point it's just not in the cards. We don't have the spare cash for stables and vet bills and all that stuff, and we're already tied down enough with dogs, cats, and birds. But I got to thinking maybe I'd look for a riding stable around here and make a commitment to ride often.

    Made the roasted turmeric cauliflower soup again last night. It's just so good I wanted to get in one more batch before the weather gets too hot for soup.

    My dad is being a pill, so I need to call my sister and see if there's anything I can do to help. She gets the brunt of it because she's local to him and more available than my brother. He was up all night with pain night before last, enough that he thought about calling for an ambulance although he decided not to. Then he didn't tell my sister about it until 6 p.m. yesterday, and refused her offer to take him to urgent care. She finally got him to promise to call his doctor this morning, so we'll see what happens.
