    Good morning everyone.

    Last night that the weather was calling for a small amount of snow this morning but there is no snow on the ground.

    @LindieMaeP -Oh I love onions, I will eat them plain just like an apple. My husband will be like well no kisses for you today....hahahaha! I was surprised in the photos, you don't have snow. I seem to remember you are in Canada! We are supposed to get some sunshine today, but we will see. Hope you enjoy the sunshine you are getting. Makes a difference for sure. I love winter, but I love it even more with the sun. I headed out to he beach last night for the sunset, but just as I was backing out of the driveway, it clouded up bad so I knew there would be nothing.

    @Kurtize - Beautiful picture! Hope you have a great weekend!

    @CSEGUIN2 - Way to go on getting those workouts in. Love to declutter myself. Gives me a sense of accomplishment and I love to see things organized.

    @NovemberGail - glad you are feeling better. Awww...cute kitty cat. So funny sitting there in the sink..lol

    @Catwmncat - I made the granny cake for the hubby and put most of it in the freezer for him to grab a piece whenever he wants it. I love to bake, it is relaxing to me, but the downside is my husband, daughter and her husband want stuff all the time. Banana bread, chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies etc. It can be difficult sometimes to stay away from it especially the chocolate cake, but the effect sugar has on me is just not worth it. It makes me physically sick. If I would eat a piece of the cake, it would put me down on the couch for the day. It is almost like I poisoned myself. It's been like that for a few years now. I used to be a sugar addict. I went to my doctor to see if I was a diabetic, but I wasn't. I guess just getting older maybe. I can't tolerate sugar at all anymore. Last night I made chocolate cake in a mug with just some Stevia in it and it was fine. My husband has a sweet tooth also. Weird because he never used to. Never ate sweets in all the years I've know him until recently. Now he can't get enough. From what I see of your posts, you do very well managing your sweet tooth. Good for you!

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I saw pictures of the snow they got in California and Oregon. Very rare for them. Funny how states that normally don't see snow are getting it and for us we are well below snowfall. Crazy weather nowadays! Hope you have a wonderful Saturday. Our meeting is at 1:30 so I am off to get ready.

    @Tabatha_Cain - Our driveway is completely ice over, but all the main roads are clear. I really didn't pay attention to where the storm hit the most, but I saw on the news that over 820,000 were without power. Glad you get to see your daughter today....enjoy your visit. Hope she is feeling better.

    @macrat12 - Love the fitness quote. It does start in the head. Whenever I don't feel like exercising it is the discipline that I have acquired over the last 30 years that helps me get it done.

    @Patti241 - Good morning! We got a dusting of snow last night. Nothing to speak of. We are way behind on our usual snowfall for the year, but have been the last 3 years. Just don't get the winters we used to.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Today was snowy when I got up. But the switched to cloudy and was partly cloudy by noon. Got about half inch of snow so shoveled it before it had a chance to melt. It's gone now. Have had a productive day doing my usual exercise, studying and chores. Also got dinner ready to go in the oven. I had left over chilli so I made a macaroni and chilli cheese bake with a side of garlic bread.

    Good afternoon, it is trying very hard to snow - it did snow some when I went to catch the bus to go get my lunch and a few other things. We will see how much snow we get over night and if it closes things down. It does not seem as cold today or didn't when I went out but I was also not standing around. I picked up a few things and lunch and headed home. Lunch was A&W and yes I planned it. Chile will be for dinner, but that is made of turkey and Gene said it was good as he had some last night.
    @ginnaboots I am from the Detroit/Windsor area BUT live in Vancouver BC since the mid 80's and consider this home now. We have great hiking trails but hiking is something I do not have the knees for. Our meeting was this morning at 10:30 and hope you enjoyed your meeting too. That is too bad about the sunset, it would have been marvelous - we get that here too - looks like a good sunset on the Fraser River then boom nope ... clouds move in lol
    @Tabatha_Cain glad you got to work from home because of the weather, sure hope you can get to visit your daughter and see for yourself she is ok as well as she can be.
    @Catwmncat Caturday breakfast is below - the Mccain's hash browns are just too small for me, I prefer my tatter a tad bigger without all the starches although potato does have naturally occouring starch. I should revert back to buying my own potatos since i only have them once a week, but Gene has them with almost every meal and then saves some for the next day. He'll have to eat these two bags though before anymore is bought. lol. Hope your day went well!
    @Dianedoessmiles1 I really do not want to buy a new printer, this one will work, I just have to keep it full of paper LOL It's like me and likes to be full all the time. Besides, I spent all that money on ink, I need it working! I'll get Gene to clean the rollers ONCE I look up how to do so. How did your morning go ?
    @NovemberGail glad you are feeling a little better and hope you continue to improve. I got really sick after my 4th booster and flu shot that I got both at the same time - never again !!
    @everyone I hope you are having a good day and stay safe if you have inclement weather - better to be safe then sorry eh !!
    Happy CATURDAY !!!

    @Tabatha_Cain ,,,OH Tabatha NO DOUBT you'll hug her with all you have, while at the same time, not hugging her with all you have. Glad you are seeing her!!!
    @Patti241,, Maybe late Monday? Tuesday? I am not sure, but it looked as if it could possibly come down that far?
    @Ginnaboots,, it SURE IS CRAZY!!! Seeing outside of Redding CA get it, and we are also very below our normal (Though we may catch up some or the weather people are ALSO CRAZY!! I am thinking LOLOL BOTH!!). PLEAESE BE VERY Careful on the ice!
    @Cormierannie,, I did a double load of laundry. GLAD to have it done for a tiny bit. LOL We all know the moment you change or someone in the household does, MORE LAUNDRY AGAIN!! Same with trash!
    @Kurtize,, GOOD Afternoon/Evening!
    @Lindamaep,,, OH I so agree!! I'll keep mine as long as I can. Like yours mine has it's strong points (It prints nicely) once it decides to. LOLOLOL!! Oh I adore hash browns, I saw a recipe so I can make my own, it's simple enough and I'll not add salt to it. Glad you enjoyed meeting, you may be in bed when I have mine, it's 9:30 EST. But maybe you are an early riser, I AM NOT!

    Gene and I went out to Richmond Canadian Tire and picked up the Ninja Dual Airfryer - he's in the kitchen right now trying to figure out how to work it and he's been told to READ the manual FIRST or he owes me 300.00... it was on sale and it was a good time to buy and it was out online ...the other one my sister will pick up tomorrow or the next day. We stopped at Daniadown ( goose down feathered pillows and other linen ) and Gene got a penquin pillow that unsips and supports the neck - he also bought some lavender spray to help with sleep and I through in a hand cream, white jasmine, I liked that scent the best .. then we stopped at Tim Hortons and got a coffee and donut each, then he thought he was out of the buttermilk chicken he likes so he went and got more and pop too ... now he's trying to learn the airfryer to make his dinner. I'll have chile as planned. lol I can heat and eat ... faster .. well not eat fast. it's been light snow all afternoon and I am sure the heavy stuff will come no doubt by morning.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 I will be getting up just as your meeting starts or shortly before. I have volunteer tomorrow thinking it will be on zoom if the weather is bad. have to wait and see.
    @Kurtize hope your having a good day love the pic !!
    @CSEGUIN2 dinner sounds yummy !!

    @Lindiemaep ,, ENJOY the dual air fryer!! I'm fine with my single basket, I've easily adjusted to cooking in layers, but it all about the timing and temps. When i was given it (friend bought it and didn't like it LOL I DO!) they had just come out. I keep thinking I want a smaller one. Still it works so well, why spend if I do not have to? In time I am SURE I will have to. There are tons and tons of healthy recipes also on so many sites. Plus now that I know the basics, I just play with stuff. LOL it's fun. ENJOY your sleep tonight!! WOOHOO I do not need to go to bed early "to help the team!" I LOVE SPARKLE because that's just a normal part of life for 99% of us! STRANGELY this time I've so well at the Meal Planning. Hey next week our 2 teams will combine as one during the break!!

    Have you all signed up for the break? Here are the teams combing together:

    The 4 teams are:

    PS4L + Rain Dancers (Captain is myself CO captain is @Catwmncat)
    MSP + Shape Shifters (Captain is DNjoys)
    G8 + Thinner Winners (Captain is Ceriusly)
    RH + Fit Force (Captain is Hicim705)

    The 5 of us mentioned above are the OALs (Over All Leaders). You'll very likely be back with some you knew of a previous team including on SPARKS!! When we came over to MFP we went from 12 teams to 8 teams hence it's VERY LIKELY you'll know some on the other team you'll be with! It's quite exciting!! On the last in between @Catwmncat and myse0lf2333333333333333330(LOL Oscar just jumped up) combined with Fit Force!! On Fit Force @Retired_Sue is the captain it was so much FUN being back with many from Sue's team who are former Awesome A team members. I had for a few years gone to help out the Awesome A team leaving the Dawggie team (Spirited Under Dawgs) team for that time.

    Here's the link to sign up for the 2023 Winter to Spring In Between Challenge where we've PROVEN those who continue their journey year round with no breaks (face it what do most do during the break?) overall for the year.

    All signed up for the break and raring to go !! While I did not acheive much weight loss this round, I've learnt lots and that in it's self is a win win for me. What will my LTGL be ?I forget already bwahahaha I should have written it down. I sure did sparkle today !! but I recorded it as "spark" bwahahahaha rebel that I am ... or am I?
    @Dianedoessmiles1 our old one that my sister is getting was tested as number 2 airfryer - I think once Gene gets the hang of it he will only use one basket if he is smart. I already have the 2 pans soaking as you suggested so I hope he catches on to that one as well. In the end, he breaks it he owes me $$$ and has to buy a new one more $$$ lol Get a good night's sleep and enjoy tomorrow. The snow is really falling now but not accumulating, we will see what we get...
    Have a good night everyone, see some of you on the inbetween team !!

    @Tabatha_Cain Glad your daughter is recovering nicely and can return to work as she wishes. Hope you're visit was long and comforting.
    @ginnaboots I have heard of people that eat onions like apples but never met one, until now. I wish I'd get physically sick when I eat sugar. I do control my sweet tooth 90% of the time by adding lots of Fruit, Honey and Dark Chocolate to most of my meals. The other 10% of the time it totally controls me!😬 Hubs always at a very small amount of sweets at one time, like 1-2 Oreos or 1 scoop ice cream, and only once in a while. Over the past 10 years or so he wants them daily and much bigger portions. He'll be 75 soon and his health is excellent so if more sweets makes him happy, so be it.
    @NovemberGail Catawissa and Sweet Pea look so much alike it's scary. Pea loves to curl up in the sink as well.
    @Lindiemaep Your Caturday brekkie looks fabulous as usual. I think those hash browns look excellent. I don't generally buy packaged hashbrowns, I usually make them from fresh potatoes or spaghetti squash, but then again, I don't eat them very often. That air fryer looks like a dual coffee maker system. LOL! I recently got a Smart Oven that does it all... everything a regular oven does plus convection, air fry and other things. I think there are 14 different settings. I haven't used it too much but I'm loving it so far, it was crazy to light a huge oven for just one small serving of something. I'm sure you will get good use out of your dual air fryer.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 Pea is a character for sure. I believe she was helping me eat cottage cheese/yogurt. She goes nuts for yogurt.
    Saturday's Eats ~ Broke the Fast with Egg Beaters & Ketchup (thanks for the idea Diane) and Avocado Toast with Siracha. Was planning on eating at the field but we weren't aware that the concession closes at 5pm on Saturdays so Dinner was late as the game didn't finish until almost 7pm and we by the time we got home and situated it was almost 8pm. Soup and Buffalo Chicken w/ Blue Cheese Sammie was quick and easy. Popcorn and Chocolate Covered Caramels for Dessert, gotta keep the sweet tooth happy.

    @Lindiemaep ,, LOL If I weren't the CL (I WOULD do it if I were the ML though!) I wanted to put down my SPARKle. LOL Guess most of us have that rebellion in us somewhere!!! Did the baskets clean easier for you? Only ONCE Have I had a horrible mess with mine. I was frying chicken and didn't put enough oil in so the newly dipped (3 times) chicken did get it nasty, still it cleaned up okay with some elbow grease!! Meeting was great, it's been snowing out since about 11 and a little bit built up, though not much. I think they said only 1 to 2"s today, Tuesday they are guessing 4 to 6 where I am.
    @Catwmncat ,, your food choices look very yummy!! YEAH the ketchup on the eggs!! LOLOLOL As we talked last night, I LOVE Ketchup on any kind of egg, as long as there's not in them otherwise. Awww Pea is so cute!!! So is Punkin.
    @Patti241,,, so SORRY!!!

    @CSEGUIN2 -macaroni & chili cheese bake sounds delicious! Hope you got some sunshine today!

    @LindieMaeP - I bet your hiking trails are beautiful! I’m an avid hiker and wish I could come hike them. Sure does look like an awesome air fryer! Hahaha, love the cat meme!

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - it was very icy last night when I went to the lake to watch the sunset. I didn’t wear my winter boots because I was coming from having dinner and it was like an ice rink! Hahaha! Didn’t fall though. Yes both you and Lindie keep your printers as long as you can. My son is a district manager for a national office supply chain and he said the ones they make now are pretty much junk. I have an older one and it has lasted us for 20 years and I plan on keeping it as long as I can!

    @catwmncat- oh trust me if I could tolerate sweets I would. I made some banana cake a few weeks ago, ate some and I was down for the count. I honestly don’t know why I get sick like that. My husband thought it might be gluten but I eat other things with gluten and don’t have that reaction. Had a sliver of banana bread a week or so ago and same reaction so I just stay away from it. Not worth what I feel like. I love ketchup on eggs too! Been enjoying avocado toast almost everyday. The healthy fat from the avocado keeps me full longer.

    I did catch the sunset last night. Hopefully the picture post and doesn’t look gigantic! Hahaha! Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!d3olp1t9uzfo.jpeg

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Hugs, prayers and well wishes to those who need them.

    Today has been a sunny, chilly day. Went to church. We celebrated the Minister's birthday that was last Tuesday. We were supposed to celebrate last Sunday but he was on vacation. Of course for Lent and as a tiny habit I gave up sweets. Well I had a piece of birthday cake. When I mentioned to the Minister that I gave up sweets he said that it was a good thing it was Sunday as things we give up for Lent we can have on Sundays. Lol don't know if it's true. Completed workouts, did dishes, laundry, studying, and some decluttering. Also played Wii sports with Hubby.

    @Ginnaboots ,, OH GINNA!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that picture!! I am DELIGHTED the picture shows up large on my computer it's WORTH IT!! SO GLAD you didn't fall when taking it! It's a really neat one though. Oh, I'll keep it as long as it works. I agree with your son and have for years!! When I think of what we now pay for a smart phone (IT DID NOT live up to that name!! I AM NOT SMARTER!! LOLOL) its shocking because most of the time 3 years later they do not work well. GULP!!! I have a friend who I consider wise just based on this. She can afford the best of the best with no issues, yet she's still using her Samsung 6. I asked her why "The best to have money is to not spend money. Plus there's no need to when this one works well." She's an IT person. I love that logic!

    @Cseguin2 ,,, LOL I am pretty sure that was made up and more! Glad you enjoyed the rest of the day with all you accomplished at home!! I SHOULD attach my wii!! I loved it years ago. YO that thing is now 12 years old! STILL I imagine I've not lost my ability or if I did it'll come right back for bowling (LOL I can't bowl at ALL in person, yet on the Wii it's not that hard for me to get TURKEYS!), and I DO NOT enjoy golf at all ,,, yet mini golf I do enjoy and more so on the Wii I am quite good!

    First, I'm feeling better even if my arm still looks like a bee stung me.

    This weekend went by too quickly. Off and on I've been still wrestling with computer issues for our main computers. Hopefully, I will work with someone at Microsoft who can tel me what is the matter. But today I enjoyed a day of solitude, attending church, and Billie and I went for a 2.7 mile hike. Finished the evening doing the Boot Scoot Boogie. It cracks me up.

    Tonight straight-line winds are predicted with some areas being warned of 100 mph winds. If that is true, there is going to be a lot of outages and trees down. Hope that they are wrong.

    Loved the photos--especially the sunset @ginnaboots.

    @Catwmncat and @LindieMaeP: Your dinners always make my mouth water. I'm thinking of making the spice cake with pumpkin tonight. That sounds so good with a cuppa tea. (Love the way the British say this).

    @Dianedoessmiles1: I looked up how to play cribbage. Oh my goodness!!! So many ways to have to add. I can see why you loved being a cashier!!!!

    Hope all is safe and ready for Monday!!!

    Word for tomorrow is GRACE.

    Puzzle time - spot the plane - can you ???? which picture is it in ?? I am playing around with sizing on the annoying droid phone so we will see how it goes. It's been a lovely afternoon, went to the Marpole Community Neighbourhood house as they had a bit of a craft fair there, and only bought some knitted slippers from my sister's crocheting class booth. I dont' mind, they are helping her learn something other then swear words and keepign her hands busy! Cash and carry and I had little cash ... maybe next time a little more cash with me. There were 2 tables I was interested in but no one was doing interact and just as well cause I have a dentist APT at NOON tomorrow - I dread it but need it so I am going.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 I thought of going back and changing it but NOPE I dont' spell anyway so I am not bothered. My old canon printer works great still just have to buy ink for it but Gene thought the workforce would be good for "certain activities" thinking now he regrets as the cost of ink. A sister might be able to get me ink cheaper but I am not worried for now. Now my droid phone is different. I buy the next generation and my third generation phone goes to a congregation in the Philipines so I love to buy new phones when the contract is up. It's a win-win.
    @ginnaboots that is a lovely pictures AS IS so no need to resize that one at all! Oh I do love sunrises and sunsets. We have some good trails here the friends do daily, Grouse Grind, to name one - I just do flat land as I can't do uphill very well, even the slightest is taxing on the chest. Not good to live in a hilly city like Vancouver and not be able to walk them! But there are trade offs so it's great !
    @Catwmncat I chuckled on the comment that the dual looks like a dual coffee maker, that is one thing it does not do. Gene gave it a good test run, afterward, I soaked the baskets as @Dianedoessmiles1 says she does but GENE cleaned them, rule number 1 - you use it, YOU clean it. He says it's like flying a plane, man I am SO glad it is NOT a plane!! Love the baseball pic of your grandson, that's awesome and of course your food is too!! So we can use one or both of the baskets at the same time based on need. Now Gene knows that he will only use one. I am going to go check the baskets to make sure he did clean them out ok. He does prebaked battered or breaded chicken pieces and onion rings and the onion rings get really messy... I just want fries ... maybe chicken once in a while, but as I learn more about it, I'll do more. For now I am letting it get used to it's position on the hutch... lol works for me eh !
    @DNjoys very nice write up for the teams, I bee a meerkats, now I gotta go google that and see what it is, pssst @Dianedoessmiles1 how about a badge we can use ??? hint hint ... lol
    @everyone have a good evening and if you have nasty weather stay in and play some games, or read a good book. If your weather is tollerable, get out if you can. I got a good walk in although some places was a bit slushy!

    @NovemberGail thank you, @Catwmncat inspires me as well! Did you know, when a chickadee continues with the dee dee dee the longer the dee the greater the danger? A nuthatcher will watch the number of dee dee dee from the chickadee and know there is danger and alert other nuthatchers, interesting info - I never knew!! Glad you are feeling better and I am sure once the computers are running correctly that will be a load off your plate too! Enjoy some solice this evening !!

    @Novembergail,,, So glad you are feeling better, though UGH on looking like a lot of bee stings!! That's QUITE the reaction indeed!! So sorry about the computer issues!! Ohhhh NONE of us like them!! But WOOHOO on the hike!! NICELY DONE!! Hope the winds do not hit there or ANY WHERE!! They are so destructive. LOL Cribbage is just so much fun. Once you start to play (Many apps including learning/teaching apps which I'd recommend) it clicks in. 15 is the number most first start to try to get in their hands, and runs if they can, more so double runs.
    @Lindiemaep ,, first pic? DID I WIN??DID I WIN???

    Sunday's Eats ~ Cottage Cheese/Yogurt with Blackberries, Raspberries, Ground Flax Seed and Yeah Hemp Dark Chocolate Granola to break the fast. Dinner was in celebration of Luke's upcoming 15th birthday (Feb 29th), Chicken Alfredo and Chicken Piccata from his favorite restaurant and dessert was Brownie Cheese Cake. After Dinner entertainment with the boys leg wrestling and challenging each other using Luke's new Push-Up Board (not pictured). They are both going to be very sore tomorrow. LOL!

    @ginnaboots Interesting about the printers. Had one for many years but once it stopped working we've had to replace them every couple years. Your reaction to sweets sounds as if you have a sugar intolerance. If you actually do you should keep a watch on your A1C as people with sugar intolerance have an increased risk for future diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. That picture of the sunset is breathtakingly beautiful.
    @DNJoys Great video, otters just wanna have fun!
    @CSEGUIN2 If your minister is giving you permission to have the things you give up for Lent then I would say you are forgiven for that piece of cake.
    @NovemberGail Great news that you are feeling better and were able to get a nice hike in with Billie.
    @LindieMaeP Da Plane, Da Plane is in the last photo... NOT!!! The baseball picture was just a meme that happens to have LUKE on the shirt (the real uniforms have their last name). My Luke is no longer a little tike... soon to be 15yrs old and just shy of 6'. Here's a couple different Meerkats Team Badges to pick from that can be used as your personal icon.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a great day. I am back at the physical office after working from home 3 days last week due to no power at the office. I am really excited to be back in the office. I like working there even though my boss can be a jerk. Today I feel off like I am forgetting to do something. Not sure what though.

    @ginnaboots - It was bad. Alot of people were out of power here. Heck even my work was out a couple of days.
    @CSEGUIN2 - That is good that you got the shoveling done. I am sure that was great exercise.
    @LindieMaeP - I did get to see my daughter Saturday. She went back to work with restrictions on Sunday. She could not handle being at home anymore.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes I was very concerned. I did hug her just not so tight. She is doing well.
    @Catwmncat - My visit was a long visit and made me feel better. She is doing well. Love your food choices.

    Well it is time to get something to eat. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Tabatha

    @NovemberGail - Oh my those are some high wind gusts forecasted. Hope they are wrong! Stay safe! Glad you are feeling better.

    @LindieMaeP - Those pictures are gorgeous! Blue sky galore! Da Plane, Da Plane is in the first one. What is my prize....hahahahaha! How did you like your new air fryer?

    @Catwmncat - Oh man that food looks so delicious! Looks like you all had fun. Why didn't you get in there with the leg wrestling! lol. What am I saying...you probably did....hahahaha! My A1C's are on point, get a physical every year and my doctor says I am her healthiest patient. Not sure what is up with the sugar thing. Maybe just all the years of eating copious amounts and my body is like no more...lol. I will talk to her about it on my appointment coming up in April, see if there is anything to be concerned about. My dad had heart disease so I try and stay healthy so I don't get it. Thanks for telling me that. Nice job on the badges. Pretty creative!

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I might have to get one of those 3D puzzles for me and Wyatte to work on. It will get him off his tablet. I have to think of some things to keep him occupied during Spring Break!

    @Tabatha_Cain - you must be more east of us. I live along the lakeshore and we got ice, but nothing really bad. It is starting to rain right now and that is going to turn to ice. Quite windy out too. Hope you enjoy your day.

    Well I am off. Need to make some coffee and start my day! Dreaded tax season and I have to add up all my receipts and get all my numbers on paper to drop off to the accountant. This is the time of year when I regret being self-employed....hahahaha! Have a super day everyone!

    good morning everyone! It's a mostly cloudy day here today, with some snow coming later this afternoon. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i am still staying at a hotel, along with my neighbours from the same floor i am on. i have not heard yet from the building management on when we can go back to our apartments. so in the meantime, i am going to make the most of my time at the hotel. i rarely get to go to a hotel, so i am going to enjoy my time here. there is a fitness centre here, a pool, a laundry room and free wi-fi. the hotel room i have is really nice. i can do my workouts in my room, in the hotel itself or go outside whenever the weather is nice. i can also watch different exercise videos on you tube or watch music videos. i have done my strength training workout already and i really enjoyed it. i will go for a walk in a while. later on, i will do some dancing. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.
