    Happy Loosen Up, Lighten Up Day!

    Here the day is halfway over and I'm just now getting my post in! "‘Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it’. – Ferris Bueller"

    Mary - Glad you're enjoying Arizona!

    Katla - Thanks for sharing the good news about your grandson. Glad he's doing better.

    Barbiecat - Congratulations on your new glasses... if you're like me, you can hardly wait to get them! Wish I could hit the rewind button on my eyes, but at least I can see well with my new glasses.

    Joyce - I've been enjoying The Good Doctor. My experience with severely autistic people is limited, but it seems to me the actor does a very good job of portraying a young man who is really different in ways that aren't visible to the eye.

    Terry - Thanks for the nut brittle recipe! I don't use a candy thermometer for stuff like that, I just use a cup of cold water. We still have a lot of pecans, so I may have to make some pecan brittle to give away.

    Felicia - I agree with you about the fruit of the spirit. It seems like a lot of the people who are most vocal about what other people ought to be doing aren't exactly reaping a bountiful crop themselves let alone sharing it with their neighbors.


    OK, I've loosened up for long enough. Back to work!

    Eaten and drunken too much today. :s:# Back to my usual regime tomorrow. Promise.

    I'm three pounds over my maintenance goal, so need to rein in a bit.

    Haven't heard about the viewing. The last person thought there wasn't enough parking! :noway: We had a nice lunch out and I did well on calories with two small starters. Don't know what happened this evening! >:) DH is upstairs watching football so that might be the answer. :o

    Hi Everyone, you all seem like wonderfulgroup of ladies! I'd love to join in the conversation. I'm 53. I want to lose 30-35 lbs this winter and just am not finding the much-needed support I need. If anyone likes to encourage and converse back and forth to motivate each other (more than just the occasional 'like') send me a request. I'm good at encouraging people too. I'm doing it for both weight loss and to better my physical health. It's been so tough because I got into bad food choices in the last 3 months and gained 8 lbs. I've been better at saying no to sugar in the past, but lately it's won. Now I'm just going cold turkey---uffda! I have to say Halloween was really tough this year with the leftover candy too. BOO to sugar! Hope I can learn from you all.

    Welcome to the group. We are a diverse group of supportive (and sometimes funny) group. Where are you from and what do you want us to call you?

    Thanks for the good wishes. The patient is doing well.Stomach is Black & blue,but he’s healing.At check up,Dr said he saw no use for PT & to keep him moving.Anyway,.good to have him home where I can keep an eye on him.

    MICHELE....he comes from a family of plumbers & that’s what they call a fridge with water plumbed to it,for water & ice.

    My sleeping is messed up from the time change.Awake at 3:15 this morn......gonna be an early night. Pat



    quote="exermom;c-40821964"]Went to the deep water class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do an Upper Body Bikini Burn DVD.

    Pat - your husband is so lucky to have you "pushing" him. Glad to hear he's feeling better

    Pat - what is a plumbed fridge? Probably something that I just know by a different name

    Dana - we had to put the cover on our med the other night. Boo!!!!

    Meg - (((HUG)))

    Allie - what side dishes are you making for Thanksgiving? We're having it at Jess' and I'm thinking that I should bring some sides. Thinking of making a macaroni & cheese casserole, a sweet potato casserole, and some biscuits. Give me more ideas.

    Did a DVD on the bosu today. The plan for tomorrow is to take the deep water class.

    katla - I didn't know that about the "King's English". Thanks for telling me. Great news about your gs. For some reason, I thought you didn't have the boat any more. I'm so glad you do

    Joyce - I was reading in the paper today that Bojangles is looking to expand into the Evansville area and my first thought was of you. I love The Good Doctor. For some reason DWTS didn't record. I was so looking forward to it. Guess I'm going to have to watch it on the Internet (boo, that I can't fast forward thru the commercials)

    Made Magic Cookie bars to take up for Thanksgiving. Now I'm making cornbread muffins. I'm surprising myself how little I want to taste the raw batter. As you know, that was always my downfall. I may have to run to WalMart and get a pie shell for the pumpkin pie. I guess I can freeze that.

    Terry when Vince had his cataract surgery, the one thing that really impressed him was that the newspaper was so white.

    Felicia - do you have your wishes (your sons go to your ex-SIL). Unless it's in writing, they may not be able to go to her based just on their word that that's what you said.

    Had a little bit of the cake batter from the cake I'm making for the gal whose birthday is Thanksgiving week so I'm making Vince some muffins. They're in the oven right now. Then I'll bake the crust for the pumpkin pie. I'll probably make the filling when we get home from dance lesson. Update: made the filling and baked the pie. Then I made a chocolate fudge cake to take up. Food Lion has sweet potatoes on sale next week for 38 cents a pound. Guess where I'm going to buy them? Made some icing for a cake that I made for Vince the other day. This was just confectioner's sugar and water. Now I know that I really need to sift the sugar if I ever make this type of icing again. But it does cascade down a bundt cake pan nicely.

    GettinFit - welcome! Keep coming in for lots and lots of support

    Thank you, Hannah Joy is truly a joy. You're so right, it is like losing part of oneself. My second oldest sister passed over 15 years ago at only 61. I don't like being the youngest in these situations.

    Its been a LONG day of learning today. Arghh. I'm stressed and tired I'll be going to bed shortly. Hope I can sleep more than the 4 1/2 hours I've slept for the last several nights. It gets to me after a while.

    It is so bad when people have a bad 'people' experience at church, especially if it is a leader in the church. Yes, some people go away fir good.


    My SIL used to make a mistake crowave peanut brittle every Christmas. Mmmmmm, so good.

    I like be the way many of you speak of your spouses. There is a wonderful book, generally taught in a church type setting but it has relavance with anyone. Gary Chapman I think is the author 'The five love languages' or maybe it is just er love languages. There are so many of you that your language is the gift of service. Others the gift of disserment.

    We had our October lunch get together for our Sunday school class. We have one lady that I think of so often because of Becca. Her husband didn't get his over transplant and over time died. He is one of the four men who died this year. Anyway, the wife Jackie has the gift of device. And she just happens to be an excellent cook also. So today she hosted the lunch. Usually when some one hosts it, it is in thier home or at church and they provide a desert and do a devotional which is optional. Well today we went to a local restaurant which is popular with the older crowd. She truly hosted. There were about 20 of us and she paid the whole bill! Plus she made a gingerbread cake which really tasted like a scrumptious pumpkin cake and had specialty choloclates sitting all over the tables and en at the end pass d out small snack sized zip lock bags so we could take the chocolate home. Some ladies were hesitant and took one piece. There were others like me that were saying no if you don't want the, I will. We have a family here in town that makes chocolate. There are two brothers Mike and Steve Lib's and they both have their own shop. I don't know why they are separate but they are good!!!! She bought so,e chocolate balls that were filled with salted caramel.

    We called Ellie today to wish her happy birthday. She is 11 now. I had never heard her so excited. Her other grandma sent her a check for $50 and she got it last week and went on Amazon and ordered what is called a Rasperry Pi, not pie. I had never heard of it but will keep it in mind. It is a the first step in building your own computer. Her Dad had all the rest of e stuff to make it work and she wa Sao excited. She loves archery and her parents bought her a cross bow. I have orders a build your own android.

    Tonight I wrapped the two Operation Chritsmas child boxes. I would much rate wrap an entire box than wrap the lid and box sepately. Of course I had a lot of unwanted help with Mozart! Yeah, lot of 'help' there. So I will deliver them tomorrow. I know they want them wrapped like that so they can inspect them but I wonder if they often remove things in a very overstuffed box and put in a box that doesn't have much in it. And that is fine wi me. I had to put the real heavy rubber bands on the boxes to keep he lid on. I'm surprised Charlie didn't mind at all. But he knows we went to all dollar stores of some kind.

    I'm here trying to catch up. Made it to pg. 33.
    Had the cortisone shot. Wanted to rip someone's head off. 3 hairline fractures in the ankle.
    Tired, cranky and distinctly unfriendly

    Morning all,

    Just a quick note - I've been writing 700-800 word blog posts over on my blog, so not much here. Took the kids out to dinner last night at a barbecue joint, it was actually really good. All is well, the grandkids are still alive after ten days of being cared for by Grandpa, and he and my son-in-law are making plans for the work my DH will be doing on my DSiL's truck while he's gone! That's a trust factor that is beyond belief for a Southern male--and will be a welcome relief to my husband from duty with the grands.

    Sharon - I've done the hairline fracture thing, but with an elbow. Painful! Hope the shot helped!

    Reading every day.

    Love y'all!
    Lisa

    Happily looking for inspiration in many directions, I'm stuck in the mud right now. So for now, I'm just gonna pull each muddy foot in front of the other and carry on until it takes me somewhere I want to be!

    Last night I cooked some black beans from dried in the IP and today I'm going to make a veggie chilli with them and other pulses for my DSIL's veggie boyfriend. I will freeze it, but have a small amount tonight with sea bass and broccoli. :D

    We're popping out this afternoon to buy some "treat food" for our 13th wedding anniversary next Monday. It will be faux caviar, sour cream and blinis for starter and either Dover sole or fillet steak for main. I have homemade plum kulfi icecream for dessert in the freezer.
    I have bought DH a t shirt for his present which looks like he has a pair of headphones around his neck. Cool! It's just arrived from Amazon.
    Can't believe we have been married 13 years. It still feels new and fresh. <3 The advantage of marrying in your 50s I guess.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx
