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?

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!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.
Sue in Troutdale, OR5 -
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
