    @lindiemaep ,,, It may be even easier though that's neat,,, in the Window search I just typed GIF and they ALL popped up!! TY TY TY It's so much easier than looking thru the extensive list of documents I have downloaded!! LOL some year I'll go thru the entire list and delete those I'll not use.

    Its so much FUN learning new things!! I've had alligator, and your Dad WAS RIGHT!! Only it seemed to be even more tender. Now octopus I've had and it was NASTY TO ME!! But, in my wacked out imagination I could picture the octopus NOT being IMPRESSED so during the night it reaches out to STRANGLE ME!! LOL 0q5mf1u0iuod.gif

    @Patti241 today was fairly nice, well it wasn't sunny, but it also wasn't nasty out. Though I DID need a jacket on at first outside. Our high was 45 today, but felt like 39. NO WONDAH I needed a jacket!! Crazy crazy weather! Hope it was nice enough today? Do you all find on not so nice days, you turn to doing more housework? I do!! I've decided to hire someone to do the laundry, floors and maybe if it's a not so nice week, grocery shopping once a week for a few hours. It'll be so worth the $$$$ for me to do so.

    @Novembergail,, Oh I'd want to have Joey over A LOT!! LOLOLOL!! OH MY YES!! Such an adorable kitty face!! He's so cute!!

    @Cormierannie,, I love spending time on the water also. I am so very very fortunate in that I live on the harbor. Here's a pic I took one night that I LOVE
    (@Novembergail if you remember how to resize, I'd appreciate that!)
    @Cseguin2 ,, LOVE that you spoiled yourself!! Sometimes we just really need that!! Your hair looks nice, your eyebrows are awesome!! I SHOULD do that,, mine are horrendous, but hey it's a family thing and I love my family.
    @Bookienj,, Hehehehe I was looking at the calendar, and thinking "OH If I were still with the school I'd have ONLY til Friday a half day (AND I MAY OF Vacationed that day! LOL) AND OFF For a WEEK!! Its always a sad time though because it's last real vacation week, and soon school will be out. OUT GOES most of the students and those who don't go on where I was, go to another teacher. Awww I still think of the kids of course, and wonder how are they? Are a few okay? You know it all to well. I do miss the school. ENJOY This week off!! Are you doing a staycation? I LOVE STAYCATIONS more so!! My own comfy bed, not having to eat out or wonder "What will I eat?" other than popping open the fridge or cupboards! NO coming home more tired than when I went.

    I know some of you blog and others you may wish to if you knew others would be reading your blogs? Did you see that @Ceriusly1 has put up a feed on this team for us so we can find each others blogs? I even blogged today just because of this! You may wish to also. Here's the link:

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today was sunny but extremely windy. We have been under a wind warning. I am running extremely late today. Started out with waking up really early and not being able to get back to sleep. Studied, had breakfast, and exercised. Went with Hubby as he was having 2 teeth removed surgically and need me to accompany him home. Then went to get his prescriptions, ordered lunch. And started on the chores. Those got mostly done. Then went to our friends to visit and give here, her birthday gift. Didn't get home till late and still had to have dinner. Caved and ordered so that I could concentrate on tracking and checking in with my groups/teams. Will be a late night.

    Home from camping. I had so much fun, but nights were COLD. Edgewater Bar Campground is right on the river and the sites are not powered. This meant we couldn't run the furnace overnight or the battery would be dead. Shivers, night temperatures hovered around zero and the mornings were a little frosty. I wore several layers of clothes to bed and piled on extra blankets... even had the dog up on the bed to throw off some heat. Poor doggy, she was shivering this morning.

    Our friends had the campsite next to us, and it was wonderful to visit with them after staying apart for so long. Day time we hiked and evenings we had a campfire before dinner. Our regular hiking buddies joined us for a day. I feel recharged!

    @CSEGUIN2 You are quite a motivator. Next time I walk to the store I will note the number of steps to get there, and the time it takes. What is Booster Juice? I have heard of it but never tried it. Nice bike, eyebrows and hair! Hubby is my colorist since covid.

    @EjoyEvelyn Community always stay open/public. My sleep apnea, CPAP, borderline diabetes disappeared when I lost weight. I am finding it easier to find my way in MFP too. So true - add heavier weight foods at each meal to aid in satiety. The raw freggies are satisfying.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 I agree cats are much easier to care for. I love the picture of the marina. I hope you get your surgery soon. The GI surgery sounds quite serious if it's interfering with my breathing. I'll look for your recipe blog, not sure how to find it though. I am sure a tube up your nose is not as much fun as it sounds. I had a lot of BAMBI and BULL WINKLE when I was a kid. My dad did make a good grav though. Do you all find on not so nice days, you turn to doing more housework? NO!!! I hope you find someone to help you.

    @Patti241 Hi Patti! How are you doing in week 1?

    @macrat12 I love the quote True success doesn't come from luck. It comes from intentionally doing something everyday to add to your overall excellence. Also - Turn your housework or chores into a fun form of exercise. I'll try haha. Good one - Find things to push yourself and do what you once thought was impossible. Another good one - If you just wake up one day and start, you made it past the hardest part! There will never be the perfect time to start.

    @bookieNJ April showers bring May flowers. I never check the incline on my treadmill (dreadmill), will let you know when I get to 5.

    @marg750me How are you doing?

    @cormierannie Hi to you, your daughter, and budgies. That's so good that you volunteer at tennis. I am donating money to the Red Cross for the refugeees.

    @LindieMaeP I enjoy your pictures.

    @hayds342 You have probably broke in your new hiking boots.

    @Mango1960 I wish you all the best this spring. You will build momentum.

    @NovemberGail The flowers in the picture look like snowdrops? What a good looking kitty.

    @aalley5 Hi how are you?

    I am on the Thinner Winners Team. I've been home today and lazed away the morning, time to get moving!

    I'll be back either later tonight, or more likely tomorrow. It's a busy day, evening. In order to do tonight, I need to go as easy on my body as I possibly can.

    I am curious though to help out @Ceriusly1 ,, did anyone happen to keep a copy of the SPARKPEOPLE Goodies? THANKS AHEAD Of time!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Booster Juice is a healthy restaurant. I have never had it till recently and found out I really enjoy one of there smoothies and their chicken chipotle wraps.

    Today has been a great day! All planned workouts done. Even went for a bike ride and a small walk. Also got some things around the house done. Didn't end up going to work as my clients niece tested positive with COVID and they had been together. Son is here for the weekend. Still have to make 2 batches of hotcross buns tomorrow. Also going to the farmers market in the morning.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today has been a beautiful sunny spring day. Although cold this morning. It's been a very crazy busy day. Started the first batch of hotcross buns. Went to the farmers market with my Son, then went to the grocery store. Came home and finished the first batch and did the second batch. As the first batch didn't turn out as I messed up and then burnt them some so had to make a third batch. So I had run back to the store to pick up more supplies. Took my bike that time. Came home and completed my last batch of hotcross buns and of course those turned out the best. It was my first year making them with out Mom. I am happy with how well they turned out. Late afternoon I went to help a neighbor with some typing. Finally getting time to rest. All other exercise is non-existent today.

    Happy Easter!!! The lilacs are coming out just in time for a centerpiece.

    @csequin2: love your bike and so glad that you are enjoying the ride. I also enjoyed hot cross buns today. Congrats that your mom's recipe turned out so well.
    @Dianedoessmiles1: Glad you like JoJo. If my cats find out, they'll be jealous. Izzy has the sweetest eyes.

    @Cseguin2 ,,,, Oh it's hard when I bake and it doesn't come right. Neat on taking your bike to get more supplies! That's great exercise. I am so sorry hon your Mom is gone. No doubt she wanted you to continue on the many traditions you both did together. I think of my Mom on some of things I make too. I hadn't THOUGHT to share the recipes with my brothers (DUH!) until recently including some filled cookies my Grandmother made. LOL that happened on FB next thing I knew more relatives were coming out of the woodwork than if I had won the lottery!

    @novembergail,, I ADORE LILACS so much!! Today a friend told me we are WELCOMED to come to their yard and TAKE ALL WE WANT when they come out!! I am so excited!! Hehehehe funny the things that excite us!!

    I'm going to see if I can put a video of Izzy in here, if I can't,, I do the picture of the FOOL TODAY!!!
    ALWAYS make sure your pets, This is Izzy ,, get enough fiber.

    LOL THE FOOL bites the paper, spits out after, bite after bite. She has WAY TO MUCH FUN!!! I do get laughing at the thing. If you lived around here Gail ,, I'd have you ovah to play with her, but in turn I wanna come and play with your pets there! OH and let's go visit @Katiecondy1 for the farm and @Cheririddell for Lacey oh this list goes on and on and on. OH and to @Cseguin2 house to play with her S dawg also!! ANY OTHERS?

    @Cormierannie , HI Annie hope you enjoyed the day!
    @Macrat12,, HI Sarah!! Hope you enjoyed and were able to relax some.
    @Patti241 ,,,, Were you able to get out for a walk today or do something you enjoyed? I did get out for a walk. Though my body was screaming nooooo, we started out to be "just outside." Next thing we knew we were down by the local nursing home. A woman who's more of an Aunt is in there. It's somewhat near Dunkin so as we walked by, I got her a small iced coffee. She was so HAPPY with that!! It was 25 mins down, normally 15, but I just couldn't go fast at all. Of course we walked back, ,,, WOOHOO 50 mins in!! I am hoping before bed to do some stretches so I sleep better.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 it's odd that you mention your kitty and paper, as Amigo loves paper too and pulls it out of recycling, and then shreds it to pieces - usually at night when the humans are sleeping. I looked it up and here's an interesting article about it:
    https://www.thesprucepets.com/reasons-your-cat-eats-paper-5204208
    WELL that's for anyone with a cat.
    @NovemberGail LOVE LOVE LOVE lilacs - I am watching a couple of trees, but no buds yet, soon, it's been too cool a spring here and maybe too wet too, although today was an awesome day. I ment to mention, that if you are posting your pictures off your computer, you might want to try to size them before posting - I usually go to my picture, right click, then open and then in the program that opens, look for a series of dots, ... and then click on then choose resize and then choose the size I want which is usually the size for profile pictures. @Catwmncat taught me that, so I thank her very much ! I hope I explained it as well as she did to me !
    How did everyone do for their first week ?
    Yesterday my son went and bought a rotisierie chicken and took some and ate it but when I went to get some, I noticed it was not cooked, so I took my piece and put it in the micro for a couple of minutes. Later last night, he had food poisoning symptoms. This morning I went to slice up the chicken and sure enough the white meat was pink! So I took a picture and we through the chicken out, went back to the store were we bought it and the manager said he eats chicken like that all the time and my picture was not very good and that I should have brought the chicken back - well I said white meat should be white not PINK .. and it was not cooked. Gene got his money back but it was the manager's attitude that bothered him the most. We did buy another chicken and this one he cut open first - it was cooked properly. Then Gene reported the incident to Vancouver Coastal Health and will let them deal with the store manager. I told Gene to be more careful in the future and if it is pink again they WILL get it back. WE do not live close to this store, its a good 15 minute ride so we don't go often.
    Well that was my excitement at home this weekend, hope you all had a good weekend eh !! May week 2 go well for you !

    I discovered Hershey Syrup Zero Sugar, 5 calories per tbsp. It's fantastic on strawberries as it really sticks to them.

    Tomorrow we are going to WA for a couple of days. I HATE shopping but I also hate going naked, so I have to buy clothes. I have donated my clothes as I shrunk out of them, and I really need more clothes. Everything I have go with yoga pants or jeans, and I have few of those and very few tops.

    Have a great week!

    Easter was great and busy. Today was another busy day doing 5 tax returns. It snowed today. Got some exercise in the morning. Tomorrow will be another busy day. TOPS in the morning and a meeting in the evening. Probably won't have time to check in.

    @Cseguin2 ,, Thought of you today when they mentioned "In Maine we had an extra day to get in our taxes since it's Patriots Day." Maine and Massachusetts are the only states that make it a holiday.
    How much snow did you get? Hope you LOVED your Tuesday!!
