Happy Birthday Barbie !!!
I'll be 62 in June ive been on the on off roller coaster of losing weight for years..
I took a little nap this afternoon..I havent been to the movie theater here in awhile ,but they are playing the King and I and I would like to see it on the big screen..1 -
Allie - Love the King and I. I used to have the vinyl of the original stage production when I was a child. I knew every word, including the monologues. My mother auditioned for the King's wife 'Mr Wonderful ' in the local Amdram. She didn't get it.
She taught me the words of 'Whistle a Happy Tune' when I was very young. It was a kind of mantra for us. "You can be as brave as you make believe you are." It's one thing I bless my mum for.
She made me believe in myself.
Enjoy!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx3 -

Not yogi, his name is mather3 -
Worked today, then the soup kitchen, then – yea me – went to the gym, then Newcomers had a coffee & conversation near my house so I felt I really should go. Had this thai tea, I thought it was a hot tea but it turned out to be a cold tea. Then WalMart, then bought gas, then home. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Self Best Butt DVD.
Vince is going to start self-administering his allergy shots so it looks like I can go to the gym on Tues and then Fri. The down side is that I’m really not near the Salvation Army in Hickory, but I am near the one in Conover.
Debbie – I have the owner’s manual. There is a part that Vince broke off, he’s not sure how to put it back on.
Tracey – I’m with you on the garage sales. So much work. I prefer to donate things.
Barbie – happy birthday. So glad you had such a wonderful day
Came back to work on Wed. I like this working only 3 days and then having a day off. Back to 5 days/week next week...oh well.
Ordered Jess’ announcements, well, the picture, still waiting for the jpeg.
Worked a bit on the jigsaw puzzle Jess gave me for Christmas. She wants me to frame it. Actually, it’s cats with a measuring tape, buttons, etc. So it’ll probably go well in my craft room.
Going to take a shower in a few.
When we were in FL we got an order from Chewy. Well, when we got back to NC we placed another order. I guess since the last order went to FL they sent this one there. We called and tried to intercept it, but part of the order went to FL, they were able to get the other part sent here (just litter, we’ll use it). We asked the guy who does a lot at the condo just to put it in the condo for us. Cat food won’t spoil and neither will a litter box.

Friends gave me bags and bags of oranges off their tree and they are juicy and delicious. Any recipes that uses a lot of orange that anyone can share? I've juiced a lot of them, made 12+ mini loaves of orange pound cake and am going to make orange cookies, but I will still have a bunch left (and can get more, if I want to). I'm freezing the treats to give to friends, but if you all have good lunch or dinner recipes, let me know.

I've used an orange and apple mix in pies and crumbles.

I read some during the night when I couldn’t sleep last night. I know there were things I wanted to comment on and can’t remember them now.
Vicki - I want to get down to around 140 or so. Currently hovering around 183-186, up and down from one day to the next. I know it’s the unhealthy snacking the last week or so. I need to get active crafting again, I’ve just been bagged after work.
Happy Birthday Barbie!!!!! 🎂
Love your card.
I’ll put this in a spoiler as it could bring upsetting to some.My cousin that had skin cancer in 2020, attempted suicide in 2021 (the new medication she started about 2 weeks before Covid hit had suicidal tendencies as a side effect. She didn’t see a doctor or have a review because of Covid and since she was diagnosed with cancer and everything else going on she hadn’t noticed how depressed she was getting) now has a lump on her breast. She had a 3D mammogram, ultrasound and a biopsy. The lump is hard, irregular and can’t be moved. She is scared. I am scared for her. Her Mom and my Dad were siblings, there is not a history of cancer in our mutual family history, but it is rampant in her Dad’s side. She sent me a picture of her lump and it doesn’t look good. There is one spot that looks like a potato that has a sprout coming out of it. On top of all of this she doesn’t trust her husband to take care of and support her because he has failed that test miserably for the last two years. I wish I lived closer to her.
We approved to have the last of the major issue with our payroll program put into production today. Monday and Tuesday I will be training the staff on how to use one of the new functions. Only a few minor things left to go, but I feel a huge weight has been lifted.
Now just to get caught up on the rest of my work.

Accountability:Chose well: Joe, readings, BP, CI<CO, CI<250<CO.

Just one thing: back to bupkes.
Workin’ on it: 139.8, H20x5, active 2:55
Mindful March
25: Focus your attention on the good things you take for granted. Breathing, vision, consciousness.
26: Choose to spend less time looking at screens today.
First time Bingo at the Elks’ today with T and C. It’s a whole thing, new to me. People take it so seriously, have special carriers for their various daubers, and good luck charms set up “just so.” Not sure I have the needed attention span and it was too much sitting today for my bum knee, Lunch with T and C later was great. Only 2K+ steps by 10pm, so got up off my butt and walked in place to Jeopardy, upping total to 5K+.
Katla hope your new doctor becomes as beloved as the former, and that you see him soon.
Lisa like the idea of a travois,
the idea of you driving around in your little tractor. Pics please 
Machka “…middle aged…” hahahahahah!
The very happiest of birthdays dear Barbie! Glad your day was glorious.
Vicki Con very grats on the first 100. “Not giving up and that is the important thing” yes! We can do this!
Tracey prayers for your cousin and ((hugs)) for you.
I’m 72, lost 25 lbs when I started mfp back in 2008, stuck at 30-35 lbs over goal ever since. Just grateful I didn’t put on the Covid 19.
Later, Lighter, lovelies!

Good morning and happy Saturday to all!
Barbie- Happy belated birthday!
Machka- Your pics of all of the work you have done at your place are astounding! And lovely! I love the dry rock stream bed idea! I also found the "middle aged" meme hilarious!
Heather- Edie is such a sweetie; and I love how all of the kids love your DH. Grand parents can be great friends. Alan Cummings. I have seen him in a few things. Never knew he was my age! I thought he was younger.
Rita- I think of you often and am sending you warm thoughts/good vibes/prayers for peace strength and comfort. Take what you need, give yourself grace, and you are correct; there isn't much within our control. Working on ourselves and how we react to outer stressors is probably your best bet. ((( ))) hugs friend!
Tina- Other than the orangey items you have made; you could make a nice orange marinade for things like orange chicken. Or you could freeze the juice into ice cubes to pull out and use whenever, or grate the peels, freeze them in ice cube trays, then have them on hand to put into a pot of hot water with some cinnamon/cloves for a nice pot pourri. My childcare kids and I use older oranges (or a few when I have more than we can eat) in our bird feeding station. The kids add the oranges to little strings of bird food and hang them in the trees. We get a lot of birds since we have added them. I have seen many people just pound a nail here and there in the tree trunk and pop a halved orange onto it.
Pip- Mather looks like a big boy. My niece has a very large and "clunky" black lab whose name is Watson. His head is humongous and he moves around the room like a moose; but he is the most loveable guy!
Update on my progress- I am 55 and just coming down from my highest weight ever. I am 5'8 (I think it is important to put your height with your weight; just a reminder that we are all different sizes and our goals aren't the same) and currently weigh 260. I have lost ten pounds in the past couple of months. I have gained 100 pounds in 20 years. *sigh* I work 50 hours a week with 11 children ages 6 weeks to age 6 in my childcare home. In the past two years things are becoming more "difficult" to do; due to my weight and all of the aches and pains that go with it. My plan is to work at least another 10-15 years in childcare; but to do that, the weight has to come off. I don't think I will make it, otherwise. SO...I continue to fight the battle of the bulge.
Yesterday was our annual Kitchen Beach Party. The kids had a blast (as they always do) and I swept up over five pounds of sand off my floors. Today I will shovel the sand out of my kitchen window and into the turtle sand box that I will have sitting on scooters just outside the window. Then, all I will need to do is roll the scooters to the other side of my driveway and slide the sandbox off and onto the grass. Here are a couple pics of the kids. I added a pic of the sand box (without kids) so you can see the size and where it is set up in my kitchen. It is a space of 10'x4'. It is just a fun day for the kids as we wait for the weather to cooperate.
Well, I have a bit of cleaning to do this weekend (lol) and my usual shopping and errands to run. This upcoming week is my last week of work, before I have a week off. We will be beginning our "spring" theme. We will start with seeds/birth.
I guess I better scoot and get things done. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)
