Don’t know why it looks silver in the second picture. It’s brass like in the first one.5

I love the eggs! So pretty and like the way they are displayed.

Terry, Thank you. They are just crafts and fun, nothing like the true art of your jewelry. They are gorgeous. How long does it take you to complete a necklace like the one pictured?
Janetr OKC2 -
Janet, thanks. Too about 12 hours. I just find it so relaxing. I just get into the zone. I bet you do too.6

I have to admit that now that I lost 70 pounds of excess fat I really do like being able to wear cute clothes! I use to feel frumpy and uncomfortable when I was heavier. Not now! I no longer feel like I'm forcing myself into tight clothing and feeling depressed because of it. I feel like it was not only physically uncomfortable but mentally as well! I'm free from that and am enjoying my life so much more being fat free! Except for my eating which is high in fat! Yummy!

Barbara, there are all kinds of bring sally up challenges : squats, leg lifts, plank, I think. You can get really sick of the little song.
Jacque, welcome! I’m a Georgia girl myself, but my DH grew up in Itasca County, MN and still has relatives there. We visited often when his parents were still alive.
Janetr, those eggs! Oh, my! You and Langman are too talented for me.
Well, I had another recipe fail last night. I couldn’t even finish my fish. It got rave reviews on allrecipes.com but I will not be making it again. It was fish dipped in butter then rolled in a cracker crumb mixture and baked. It was way, way, way too much butter and the fish was just too fishy tasting and smelling. Maybe it was the fish and not the recipe, but it was horrible. I told Dave that it was my subconscious thinking he should be taking me out on Saturday night.
I don’t mind daylight savings time or regular time. I just wish it would stay one way all year. I don’t care which.
I visited with my parents for a while this afternoon, and my son dropped in, too. He and I helped Daddy get a new jigsaw puzzle started. I’ve decided that I am going to make a concentrated effort to visit at least once a week. There’s no excuse for me not doing so.
I’m totally excited about this coming Tuesday night. I’m going to see one of my favorite authors speak about his new book. Admission includes a copy of the book.
Take care, my friends!

Started a post last night while on my tablet, had to shift in my chair to scratch the cat, my tablet turned sideways and I lost the post. Grrrrr..... Now, I'm way too far behind to start commenting on those past posts again, so just starting clean. Hmmm, perhaps something I should try with eating too.....
Rye, thanks for sharing your story. You have done a remarkable job turning your life around! Congrats!!
Terry, the necklace is beautiful!
Janetr, ditto for the eggs! I like the display you have also, easy to see the different eggs, but nice to be able to display several of them at once.
Pip and Lisa, I didn't think too much about Pip's comment until Lisa came out with hers (in regards to working on a woman). Then I was really happy that I wasn't drinking anything! lol
Allie, hang in there hon, it will get better. Wish I was there to give you a real hug, I think you could use one, you'll have to settle for this cyber {{{HUG}}}.
So many more comments in my head, not enough time to put them down here! Hope everyone has a great day/night!
Must go and finish my work day. So glad it's over, this time change thing is annoying. I'd be fine with one or the other, or split the difference and just do a half hour once more and be done with it! Oh well, it is what it is.

Evelyn it just frikken happened to me! My husband called to me and as I was posting it blurped!

So I had a post, it went away, still have 1500 steps to go, then will get laptop and try again!3

Stats for today:
*haircut
*15,000 steps
*180 minutes walking Sasha and Bessie
*200 minutes riding the exercise bike4 -
Did about 45 minutes of More Than Mat Pilates Beginner DVD. I really liked this one. The plan for tomorrow is to do some hula hooping, attend the extremepump class, try to hold my plank while waiting for the class to begin.
Becca - that was so very kind of someone. So glad you got an answer and that puts your hubby's mind at ease. He certainly doesn't need to worry right now. Breathe, dear friend
Joyce - Should everyone avoid their calcium when they go for their DEXA scan? I never did. Maybe this is just something that you need to do?
Allie - I believe you said that Tom liked your father. Would he be willing to help out financially?
Janet - Did Mia enjoy the icing on the cake? She is so so cute
M - there was a clue today in the crossword "College to Aussies" and I knew the answer! I thought of you
The guy brought over the 8' tables for the Newcomer board meeting. Really, Vince decided that they should be a different way, and I really should have borrowed all 3. Oh well...live and learn
I slept later this morning. Normally, I don't have much of a problem with the time change(s). Takes me about 1 day and I'm fine.
Barbara - we gave one of our cats the medication for his thyroid. It worked at first but then it stopped working. That is when we did the procedure. When I have jerky, it usually causes me to want to drink more water, which is good. Why would hardwood be out of the question for you? Our cats routinely hack up hairballs, etc. and we don't have any problem with the hardwoods. Now the rugs are a different story all together.
barbie - I'm always so impressed with elderly people who are so active, like the 90YO in your class. We have a lady on our bowling league who is 93! Yes, she's slow. But she still drives herself to the bowling alley (yes, she's had accidents), bowls twice a week. She's a real real sweet lady
kylia - great looking cars. Lovely family. Love the quote.
For something sweet - I find dried fruit to be quite sweet
Carol - I'm the same way about landscaping. Vince doesn't like spending the money, but I want it done and I know it'll never get done if I'm waiting for him to do it.
Laura - feel better fast
Terry - I'm in awe of your work
I'm loving this time change. I budgeted an apple for my snack at night, and here it is after 10 and I still haven't had time to eat it.
Jess wanted to go to Olive Garden tonight. Personally, I really don't care for that place. But we went. Just had the pasta e fagoul (or however it's spelled), water to drink and salad, no dressing or croutons. I did splurge on about 1/8 of a breadstick.
katie - many times I have to make a recipe first the way the directions say and then a second time the way I would like it. You might want to make that fish again but this time use less butter. Going out seems like a much better plan to me. Jess just told me that St. Kitts doesn't have the change of time.
Took a shower and now I guess I'll get to bed.

Lisa, sorry to hear your DD is being deployed soon. That’s got to be so hard for you. But I was glad to hear that her mil will be taking over with the kids. I’m sure you are looking forward to your own space again.
Machka, Happy Birthday girl!
Rye, thank you for sharing your story. I love hearing all the inspiring stories.
Mary, 70lbs is amazing. You should be so proud of yourself.
Thanks for the kind words about my necklace.
I took tomorrow off so spending the day with my DD. We always have a good time together.
We got a foot of snow and getting another storm starting tomorrow night through Tuesday. Ok enough already! I’m so ready for spring.
Welcome to the newbies and hugs to those that are going through challenges.
I’m thinking of all of you, Terry in snowy VT5 -
Had glorious weather this weekend and spent all I could outside. Took Mom grocery shopping, started running again, lots of weed pulling, dirty finger nails!
I was able to get in 10k steps and ate healthy and reasonable both days.
Now I'll catch up on posts.

Lisa, I think you are just having pre'we know we are going to have to leave the grand kids soon' blues. You have been their care giver for awhile now and are leaving them. And knowing that your DD deployed is s lot different than knowing your son in law is deployed. Hugs.
Terry, did I read that you and your husband were watching Project Runway??? Husbands do that kind of stuff with wives? Mine gets down to his man cave as soon as you urn it on. I can't imagine all the pinching you did on that necklace. It is stunning.
Allie, does your Dad not have anything of value in his house besides guns to sell? Could you not hav can estate sale to sell all of his belongings? I know that is usually an auction so you really don't know what you are getting out of it but is it an option?
I know I could turn on my Pandora for noise but it is so quiet in the house. Charlie is downstairs watching something off the DVR. He is always mindful to keep the volume down so as not to bother me. But it snowed today and we have 5 inches and I guess we have about that amount in our satellite dish. I hope there is either sun or wind tomorrow to get it out but we are no tv until then. But our DVR is about 70% full so we will work on getting some of those shows off. We can get our news on the apps on my iPad. But no Wheel of fortune.
Rye, Mashca, Heather, Barbie, Mary, Pip, the list goes on and on. You ladies are amazing. I just love all you women here.
Some one asked about my Dexa scan and calcium. This is their request. Or should I say order. They said if I have taken it that it will have to be rescheduled. So they are not in my pill keeper at all.
Love yo all, nighty night Joyce, Indiana4 -
Oh, my eldest son and I had a long chat! I have to realize that each of my sons are so unique, and not expect the same from one as the other. Its not far to them or me for that matter. Owain is independent, busy and I am only thinking of myself. Galen has always been needing us, in the sense that when he gets leave over the holidays its been him coming home. I have given him options that he doesn't have to report home, he can go anywhere. But he likes relaxing and he likes the home cooked meals!
I texted my eldest afterward as well today. Said hi to my daughter in-law, as I saw her online. We chatted briefly, but its still like pulling teeth to get her to talk to me. Then my middle son got on and that was the end of her texting!
Today I fixed biscuits & gravy for Sunday breakfast, then a roast with all the trimmings, (well potatoes and carrots and gravy) for dinner. It turned out really well! I'm spoiling my husband. Can you love your husband via his belly? Why, yes you can!!!
Love all you ladies! Doing amazing each and every one of you!

Dear ones,
Karen in VA said it: "so much generosity in sharing strategies & ideas about how to deal with the challenges of life" so well said. I'm so grateful to all you dear ladies for sharing your wisdom, coping strategies, inspiration, compassion and especially your humor. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Barbie, both Heather and Rye have said something like they could not have imagined themselves being/doing X that now they do. What about you? What triggered your commitment to seeking out every opportunity for activity? I'm asking as I'm realizing that I want some of those good benefits, especially Heather's improved breathing, and need to step up my game to get them.
pip re: indebtedness WAY better than most. Well done! Hope the falls didn't discourage your newbie.
Karen in VA Interesting recipe, amen on the compatibility, so key for the long run. Grandma Pottymouth LOL!
Becca your dialogue with Rebecca's body had me bellylaughing. Thanks for the bonus burn
Wendy great news about DH chat. Ditto pip's comments about your gorgeous gams. Jealous you can squat down so far and still SMILE!
Heather happy tears for you and your OS. Going from breathless at 200 yards to running 5 K in 50 minutes? WOW! That IS magic!
Lisa prayers for Kelsey's safe deployment and return. Tough days indeed. So glad you can find humor, tho' with pip, it's easy
Janetr Mia looks a very serious little angel
Machka really enjoyed hearing about your ride, had to google quolls and pademelon
Kylia Love the cha-cha quote. Ditto what Carol said, couldn't believe those were your grands
Rye thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story.
Suebdew when in doubt a nap will do!
Lanette, Art Bell, now that brings back memories. Found his voice and bumper music choices very soothing, but towards the end there were too many creepy/scary nights instead of the simply weird and wonderfully interesting.
Terry and Janetr your artwork is beautiful!
Allie ((hugs))
Welcome Jill, Jacque, maxweca.
Caught up for now, hugs to all, time to zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Back from Fort Saskatchewan, it is always a different kind of visit. They really need to leave their house more often. I've made it through to page 35.
I didn't log for the last 3 days and my food choices were not great. I forgot to take my own fruit and veggies. They were in short supply.

Still feeling a bit stiff and sore after Saturday's 300 km (188 mile) bicycle ride. Especially my back where it cramped.
I might be paying a visit to my chiro and maybe also booking a massage. And then, I need to work on my core!!

Thank goodness I set the alarm this morning! talk later! NYKAREN4

Good Morning!
I am not getting too many steps in this morning because I am determined to get this written and submitted. Seriously!
Evelyn- third time is a charm for me. Right after I read your post, I was getting ready to post my reply when my husband asked me to come to him. Apparently I needed to wait a moment longer for it to send as it disappeared into outer space between my kitchen and the man cave! There is a way to write it in Word I think and then transfer....I need to ask one of my friends. This morning, I typed up then flipped pages, and, POOF! Gone again. Didn't make it to laptop as my DD called and talked with me til bedtime.
Terry and Janet- I love the Necklace and the Eggs. So beautiful. The time and talent is wonderful!
Allie- ((HUGS)) Mother nature sure is a mess this year. I hope all stay safe.
Mary- 70lbs is a fabulous loss! You are looking great!
Katie- Sounds to me like the fish was not good. As for the recipe, I would try melting a small amount of butter in bottom of pan, dip the fish in milk then the crumbs, lay in the small amount of butter, then bake. That is how I make my oven fried chicken. Love that you are trying new recipes!
Rye- May I share your story with someone in a similar situation? Don't want to share without permission. What a wonderful success story!
Our brake job is coming along, but oh so slowly. This is the first time for us changing calipers and all. Lots of trial and error. The rears are more complicated so I refused to start on them last night. I needed food and steps first. We have a friend coming over to help us with the final hook ups, but wanted to get the other stuffs done to save time for him. He will double check our work.
Some days I hate technology, others I love it. Today was an I love it. My youngest GD was in a dance competition 3 hours away. They put it on the web, so I was able to see her dance. Not the same as in person, but still nice to see. Her team won second place.
The cold has returned with snow flurries the next 3 days, then in the 60s by Friday. Could be a long week
I am going to post this, then finish reading posts.
You are amazing women!

I only type short posts on MFP when using my phone because even the slightest movement of my phone will cause my post to disappear. Also if you use smilies, your post will be cut off.
And on phone or computer if you start to type a response, then go to another page to check something, your post will be lost.
So you can either do what I've done here and respond to each person individually, and just type a short post. Or you can go the Word/Wordpad/Notepad/Email route where you type your response there, then "Select All" and "Copy", then "Paste" the response here.
If I'm going to do that, I usually use my email because I've usually got it open anyway, and I can easily save it as Draft if I have to go away and come back.

I am thankful today for two things you normally won't hear me say I am thankful for.......small boobs and cold weather.
I really need to buy another bra, mine is still wet from washing....So cold weather=3 layers and no bras today7
