Good afternoon, happy mid week. I have been pushing myself a little more each day to get stronger and improve balance and walking. Yesterday shopping (pushing a grocery cart), and doing a few things around the house got in 4,615 steps. The most I have done in months. Today cleaned the kitchen and cleaned the stainless steel appliances, so go in some squats. I am a little stiff right now but relaxing. But I am feeling more confident that I can get back to my old self. My fitness pals are a great inspiration, thank you all. By the way what is the start date for regular challenge. Thanks. Hugs and blessings, all.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been sunny and chilly. Also very busy. Did all exercise, studied, dishes, walked to the bank, liquor store, and grocery store, made 4 boxes of jello into jello shots, and played Wii sports with Hubby. Lots of steps today. Once I finish my studies I have here I am at a standstill. Not completely happy but will be able to use the time to work on other things. Tomorrow is planned and will be fun I am sure as always. Most likely will not check in till Friday or Saturday.2 -
Thank you for the invite, Ceri! I had family visiting and didn’t see it until now. Glad to be here. I really need it.1

@tjharleygal55 wow that looks super cool and super COLD as well - glad you had a nice time snowmobiling - I've nver been to Wi but do have a friend in Plover area ... been getting updates on the cold, snow, and ice and know you will appreciate when it is gone - course right now it looks pretty but it will start getting ugly soon! Be safe out there and off the lakes eh ! Your welcome on the pictures, my pleasure indeed!
@Kurtize totally agree!! I try to do better each day, but sometimes I am better at being NOT better lol @Dianedoessmiles1 might have a date for you, I don't recall reading if it has been determined or not.
@CSEGUIN2 enjoy your time with your friends, if you need something to do I am sure @Dianedoessmiles1 can suggest something like oh I don't know, maybe decluttering? I have lots of shredding I need to tend to and that will be my LTGL next week.
So I got out today at 3:35 pm in my spring jacket, it's light, lined and has sweater sleeves - I of course usually check for spiders and FORGOT to do that cause spiders like to hide in sleeves to keep warm especially wool. Fortunately non in there, and no bite. Course if I ever find one, I be screaming like a banshi and looking for something to end it's life !! If it's not too bad my son will hand cup it and take it outside, ya not me no way not that brave EVER !!

Today was more physically active and that always makes me feel better.
@tjharleygal55: All I can think to say of your photos -- COOL!!!
@Tabatha_Cain: When I see your posts, the song, "Here Comes the Bride" flashes through my brain.
@LindieMaeP: Seeing your cat going down the slide, the next song that entered my head was "Slip Sliding Away."
@Dianedoessmiles1: Your song: "Whose walking down the streets of the city, smiling at everybody she meets . . . and Windy has stormy eyes . . ." I think the song is Windy🙈
@ginnaboots: If the frost doesn't damage the buds, we can start finding pears around August. Our neighbor's tree is a different type of pear, and that probably won't ripen until September or later.
Tomorrow's word is TRUST.

Wednesday's Eats ~ Apple Chicken Sausage and Creamy Grits made with Almond Milk and Nutritional Yeast) ~ Light Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup with Lemon Pepper Tuna on White Cheddar Rice Cakes and Red Wine Goat Cheese ~ Key Lime Greek Yogurt with Key Lime Pie M&M's and Dark Chocolate Drizzle@jeanhickokhaley1 Yes, late is absolutely better than never!
@Tabatha_Cain That is fabulous news that you have been offered a new job. Hopefully all will go well and it will be a perfect fit which will greatly reduce the stress.
@NovemberGail I do and I have matches!😬 Fortunately he doesn't live close by. The bluebird pictures are neat. So cool that you captured them looking for and inspecting a new home.
@Dianedoessmiles1 The Canva thing is March 23rd 12-1:30pm... I have a dentist appointment so I won't be able to attend.
@tjharleygal55 You too can become a WL (Wacky Weight Leader) if you are not already a leader on the 5%. Such a beautiful place to snowmobile.
@Kurtize Great job pushing a little harder and getting in more steps. I do not believe there is a set date for the start of the Spring 5% Challenge as of yet but I believe it was mentioned that it would more than likely be in first half of April.
@LindieMaeP Make sure you measure out the chocolate chips every time. They can go from 1 tbsp to 1/4 cup in a hurry when eyeballing. Glad you get inspiration from my food posts... it means they help both of us. I'd be screaming and killing a spider in my clothes as well... possibly even removing whatever clothing it was in. Love the cat sliding down the slide in the snow.
@NovemberGail Isn't it cool how the more physically active we are the better we feel and how our sleep improves as well.2 -
@NovemberGail our trees only have buds. That tree is so full of blooms.
@Dianedoessmiles1yes, the orange are Poppies. I have never been to Maines, but would love to someday. Beautiful state.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. I have to work both jobs. I am getting excited for this new job. Concern is that I have to schedule a drug test. That is not the big deal the big deal is that they are only open while I am at my current job so how do I get out of work to go get my drug test done. Plus I just had a doc appt on Tuesday so I cannot use that as an excuse. I don't want to tell him I am quitting until the background check comes back and the drug test clears just to make sure. I don't do drugs at all of any kind not that smoking weed is bad I just don't do it. All my medications are perscription. Also I had my first wedding nightmare. Apparently those are normal. I had the wrong venue, the wrong dress, and no bouquet. So we know I already have my dress, and my bouquet is done so not sure how I dreamed that was wrong. It was so weird. I couldn't find Joe. It was odd.
@ginnaboots - The snow as far as I am concerned can go. Totally don't want it. Thank you. I have to call today and go do a drug test sometime today or tomorrow.
@NovemberGail - Nice photos. That is cute that you have that little tune playing in your head. I am almost always thinking about the wedding at this point and little things we can do to make it better. 3 months and 8 days left.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I may continue to work for BK but getting this job at AAA I may not have to even before the wedding. It is quite a pay hike. going from 1250 twice a month to 1600 every 2 weeks. So we will see if I still need to.
@LindieMaeP - I hope I have the energy for both jobs tonight. I am kinda tired. I am excited to get into this new job.
@tjharleygal55 - I live in Battle Creek MIchigan. Those are some beautiful photos. It has been a while since I was on a snowmobile. I do love them though.
@Catwmncat - Your food looks fabulous. I hope the job offer goes well too. I am excited about it.
Well it is time to get some breakfast. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Diane: It was windy here yesterday. It is supposed to be nice today and tomorrow.
Novembergail: We a bluebird house on our back shed. Last year we had it closer but the blue birds seemed to guard the bird feeders and would let any other birds get food.1 -
Bluebirds are my favorite! They are joyful to see.
We have snow on the ground, but today is above freezing and that will seem tropical. Our birds include many chickadees and woodpeckers, but our favorites lately are a pair of grouse we see every day.1 -
@Bookienj,, Like you we were supposed to get more than we did. They said 5 to 10 we got 4.5
@tjharleygal55 ,, OH I ADORE SNOW!! April blizzards are always the BEST!! They come, they hit hard, they go bye bye fast. As with many I'll eventually start to want to see flowers. LOLOLOL I SURE DID Laught at the answer to H on the flowers deer will not bother, PLASTIC!! LOL I live in the city, but surrounded by towns, we have a few deers around. But it seems many animals (including the 2 legged ones!) will go after the flowers. GORGEOUS Pics!! Yes virgin snow it's AMAZING!! PRETTY SLED!! My family goes in groups to use theirs, I can't, but if I could, OH I WOULD!! My bones can't handle any bumps. I am surprised more weren't riding, it's hitting near the end of the season. I LOVED Treehouse Master!!
@Thurslins, SO HAPPY to see you with us!! WOOHOO!!! WELCOME aboard!! Did you pick a team okay?
@LIndiemaep ,, LOL A date for? LO I am lost.
@Novembergail ,, I consider moving around as the OIL of our bodies!! The more we move the easier we move. LOLOL I LOVE that song, TY TY TY For the DIANE SMILES song!!

Not much to report - weight maintaining, gorgeous weather, happy and busy! What more could a girl want or need?4

@Dianedoessmiles1 the date for the start of the spring challenge - another member was asking and I suggested asking you. @catwmncat did post that no date has been determined so we wait ...
Beautiful walk this morning - went to Safeway and took an hour to go there and get back. Long line at the food bank that operates ouf of a church - every walk of life was there, man woman, immigrant, students, you name it they were in the line up at least 15 deep last time I walked by it. It shows the difficulty of these times that folks are having.
@Tabatha_Cain I hope you worked out the time to go get the testing done as that is needed to move on!
@everyone do enjoy your Thuraday or is that pursday ??? LOL

@Catwmncat I haven't lived where we changed from Standard to Daylight Savings since 1983! I think every place should do the same! I love the old Native American saying that "only a white man would cut off one end of the blanket and sew it to the other end to make it longer." 'Nuf said! LOL5

We are having rain and thunder today. Denyse, Daralyn and Karson still got to visit, arrived and left in-between the storm. It was fun. Karson is growing up so fast, in 1st grade. Thank you @Catwmncat
Have a great rest of the day. Hugs all1 -
Thursday's Eats ~ Celebrated hubs 75th birthday with DIL and her mother, who we have not seen in 1 1/2 years, at one of our favorite restaurants. Yesterday I pre-planned to have HALF an order of Chicken & Waffles with Brandy Sauce and Sweet Potato Fries. Asked the server to box half to go before bringing to the table. Also planned for a Beignet and Coffee. Didn't realize the server only boxed half the Chicken & Waffles and served the full order of Fries. Too late, I ate them all as I thought it was only half an order. No biggie, bumped up the protein for dinner with a Roasted Turkey and Cranberry Apple Ginger Chutney Sammie on Dave's Good Seed Thin Bread.
@Tabatha_Cain Sorry you are having pre-wedding nightmares. It is quite understandable with all the stress and anxiety you have endured over the last couple months. Maybe you can tell your boss that your doctor wants some additional blood tests done and can just come in late, take off an hour or two or leave early one day to have them done. You can always call in sick or leave early for being sick as well.
@lavalily I prefer standard time but don't ever remember a time without it as it went into place when before I was 6yrs old.
@Kurtize So nice that they were still able to visit and come and go between storms. We blink and the little ones are all grown up so enjoy every single minute you can with them.
@Everyone Have a Great Night... It's almost Caturday Eve!

HI ALL!!! It's a day of not feeling WOOHOO physically, but otherwise, it's been a GREAT DAY!!! So many friends I saw in person or by texting. Such a great build up for all of us!3

I am so very late tonight. It's been a long day and am one step closer to resolving the computer issues.
My dear kitties got into a heap of trouble tonight. I have a rather heavy statue that I keep on my refrigerator. For some reason, tonight the kits decided that it needed to be removed. They managed to push it off onto the range's glass top and managed to destroy the cover. Replacement cost: over $450. The question is to buy a new oven or replace the glass top. Into everyone's life a little rain must fall -- or statues. GROAN.
Tomorrow's words are peace and inspiration.
This little daffodil is no bigger than a crocus. She is cute.

Good Morning Airport Friends,
Well just lost everything I was typing. That stinks. It was my fault though and I know it is because of the touchpad mouse on my laptop. I need to disable that again. So short and sweet. I am officially 99 days from my wedding and I am so excited.
@LindieMaeP - I have it worked out. I am going to have it done at 2 today.
@Catwmncat - That is what I am thinking. I will just leave early. I am just concerned that he will start asking for doctor notes and I don't have one for this.
@NovemberGail - A new stove will be twice the cost of the glass top. I recommend just the glass top. Sorry your kitties did the dropsies.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.
Tabatha2 -
Good morning everyone1
-
@NovemberGail -Oh I am so sorry about your stove. Yikes! I guess it would depend on how much a new one cost and how old is the one you have? Very pretty blue birds. When I visit my SIL in the summer, she has a lot of bird houses and one for bluebirds. They are so pretty.
Lindie-Love all of your flower pictures. Probably the only thing I look forward to in Spring or Summer are the flowers, otherwise I look forward to winter as soon as spring hits....lol. Point Betsie Lighthouse is probably our most popular one that I know of. It is in Frankfort, MI close to Sleeping Bear Dunes which is a popular tourist destination. Love the meme of the cat sliding down the slide! That would be me when playing at the park with Wyatte...hahahaha.
@tjharleygal55-Those pictures are so pretty. Love to snowmobile. Wasn't much of that in lower Michigan this year. We didn't have the winter for it. Not sure what the UP got as far as snow. My brother in law usually does a lot of snowmobiling, but haven't heard from my sister as to how much snow they got this year. She hates winter so I don't ask....lol. Nice that you were able to get out and have some fun in the snow!
Cat-I love those pictures! You look great! Hubs is only 75...he is still young! The food looked delicious!
Nice that you got to be with your DIL and her mom! Just now getting used to the time change. It was rough the first few days.
Diane-Sorry you aren't feeling well, but glad you had a great day! Did you get your 3D puzzle done yet? I haven't got one yet. Have to get online and order one. I am excited to do one.
Tabatha-Hope you are able to skip out from work to get the drug test.
Had Wyatte the last 2 days. Today he has a half day so I am taking him out to lunch. Hopefully a nap later as having him tuckers me out. No hiking today or tomorrow. We are having high winds and I am not even about being out in the woods when trees limbs are falling....lol.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
Ginna1 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 Sorry you had a rough day physically. Glad we were able to talk and laugh for a while. Laughter, friends and love make everything better.
@NovemberGail Gotta love it when the fur babies decide it's time to redecorate and upgrade appliances. Repair vs replace just the top or whole oven would depend on how old it is and how much you like the one you have, along with costs. If it's more than a couple years old I'd probably replace the whole thing if I could afford it.
@Tabatha_Cain Been there, done that with the lost posts, that's why I hit the Save Draft button after every couple of sentences. Closing in on the wedding Fast, remember to Breathe and Enjoy the journey. I wouldn't worry too much about your boss wanting a doctor note. What's he going to do... fire you? I doubt it, maybe reprimand you, but you're planning on leaving anyway so it's no biggie.
@ginnaboots I have tried telling hubs 75 is not that old but he insists its ancient. Oh well, maybe he's old but I don't think I'll be old at 75. I know you enjoy every minute you get with Wyatt but it can be exhausting try to keep up with the littles. Hope you get to enjoy a nice nap!

@Tabatha_Cain -can you do a drug test at lunch or on a Saturday? Sorry I haven’t done those in while1
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 -i know you really like snow so 4.5 doesn’t sound horrible. Pretty close to the 5-10 they were calling for.1

Friday's Eats ~ 1% Cottage Cheese/Oikos Triple Zero Strawberry Yogurt with Strawberries and Dark Chocolate Drizzle - Ground Chuck Patty with Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms & A1 Sauce, Sweet Potato with Hot Honey Seasoning and Corn on the Cob - Mini Caramel Rice Crisps and Chocolate Covered Caramels.
Mentally and Emotionally drained today so didn't get all that was planned done but had fun in the sun working on those biceps in the yard for 1 1/2hrs.💪
Don't forget tomorrow is Caturday Weigh Day for those that are staying accountable and weighing in. Have a Grrreat Night!3 -
@Ginnaboots ,,, Awww THANKS!! Today I felt better, I KNOW I way overdid it today, and tomorrow I'll pay big time. LOL But, it was fun again!! My only thing on the schedule for tomorrow is grocery shopping for a few items. I want to go meeting on Sunday, we have the speaker for lunch. We are doing it there. I am very much looking forward to it.
@Catwmncat ,,, Awwww TY TY TY Cat for the giggles last night!!
@Bookienj,,, True ,, True,, LOL I am GREEDY I WANTED the TEN!!!2 -
Today was a very nice day. We decided to take a drive out to Elizabeth Lake and Lake Hughes. Elizabeth Lake is about 20 mins from where we live, and Lake Hughes is about 15 minutes past that. In the past the lakes were always full and beautiful, but due to the long drought we had both lakes went completely dry. Lake Hughes is a smaller lake, but pretty. Not only does it have a lot of water, thanks to the rain and snow, the lake has a lot of water. A couple were using their paddle boat. It looked like fun. Poppies are starting to bloom on the hills. Woo Hoo!
4 -
@jeanhickokhaley1 ,,, What a GORGEOUS Picture!! SO HAPPY the lakes have water back in them. That's so nice!! Ohhh can you please post pics of the poppies as you take them for us? Ohhh and if you see any catus that are blossoming?2
