Tuesday ~ Honey Vanilla Greek Yogurt and Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice ~ (not pictured) Healthy Pineapple Crisp ~ Roasted Turkey Breast, White Sweet Potato, Green Beans and Cranberry Apple Ginger Chutney ~ Caramel Rice Cakes with Almond Butter, SF Caramel Sauce and Dark Chocolate ChipsBusy day decluttering and yard work so I hit the carbs hard. Craving sweets and more sweets so my after dinner snack ended up being more calories than my dinner.
@LindieMaeP The pictures at Queen Elizabeth park are gorgeous.
@jeanhickokhaley1 Yes, you have been posting your Exercise-LTGL... I never look at who posts exercise, just weights. I actually was referring to not seeing you in the chat, but I see you have now joined in.3 -
@Catwmncat better late then never

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. I have to work both my jobs today and I know I am going to be so tired. I am sure. I also work both jobs tomorrow night. We will see how things are going to see if I am able to actually go into work. I am not really feeling like working today. I will do it though.
@tjharleygal55 - We still have a lot of snow as well.
@ginnaboots - I am looking forward to the snow starting to melt
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It i going to be I am sure. I got offered a job through AAA so that is awesome. I am waiting for my background check to come through. If all goes well I will be starting April 5th.
@LindieMaeP - I did plan on it being a good day and it was. I will hopefully be starting a new job as of April 5th. I am excited.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.

Diane-Oh that view is incredible! Absolutely beautiful. Yes went on a hike yesterday. I will miss the snow! It is starting to melt today which is a big bummer! I love winter so much! Me and you sis are in the minority for sure...lol.
Lindie-Yes it is a lighthouse in the picture. We have a lot of them along the shoreline. We were taking a ride that evening and I turned around to see the sunset and told my husband to stop so I could take a picture. I am always taking pictures just like you. Some days I just hike and don't take any because I want to focus on the beauty and the peacefulness out there. Oh my goodness those pictures are so gorgeous. The flowers are spectacular! Love tulips!
Kurtize-Love that meme. I would rather be a flower than a weed...lol. Although sometimes I am a weed....hahahaha! Sometimes I say it like I see it and it doesn't go over well.....hahahaha!
@jeanhickokhaley1 -Those pictures are beautiful! Are the orange ones wild poppies? I can't tell what they are.
@NovemberGail -How long will it take for the tree to produce pears?
@Patti241 -Hope you have a great day!
Tabatha-Congratulations on the job offer! Hope it all works out.
Going to get out on a walk on the flat part of Hoffmaster. Not hiking today because I have to work later and need to conserve my energy. Hope you all have a super day!

@Tabatha_Cain: Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well with the AAA job. That sounds exciting.
@Catwmncat: I love your wicked sense of humor. Good thing I don't have an ex😂
@Dianedoesmiles1: Don't blow away with the nor'easter.
This morning I finally got up at a decent hour and am enjoying some idle time. The bluebird box has been waiting for its new family. I think we have an interested couple.

@Catwmncat ,,, LOL Cat the meme!! WOOHOO on the decluttering!! Hmmm seems I like did some too, could we of been encouraging each other? OH MY YES!!! Anyone else want to join us?
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, WOOHOO I HOPE You get the job with AAA!!! They are a very good company to work for. May today and tomorrow go well with both jobs!! Bringing in the $$$ for the wedding!!! Will you continue to work for BK once you are married?
@Patti241 ,,, Its a pretty day up here today. STRANGELY We ended up NO SNOW accumulation yesterday!! SO STRANGE!! It did snow all day. Inland a tiny bit from 4 to 10, in NH LOL one town had over 33"s. They must be higher up though in the mountains. For awhile last night the wind was so strong I had to wonder if the building would be okay. It was that strong. Of course I knew it would be, yet,, the thought ran though my mind.
@Ginnaboots,, LOL I am usually in the oddball group anyways, but the GOOD oddball club. Winter is so pretty!! Sure one has to shovel, but during the dead of summer, being outside with a mower does zero for me. JUST ONLY 9 MORE MONTHS and our SNOW WILL BE BACK!!! Hope work went well!
@Novembergail,, WHAT A COOL bluebird house!! That'd be so much fun to watch. LOL it's cold to me today with the wind gusts still be around 30. The air temp is 37, but the wind chill is 28. I am an INSIDE GAL TODAY!!
Cribbage has been postponed due to illness. I HAD plans next week, but cribbage LOL takes a higher place. @Catwmncat did I put down the right date as next Weds (22nd) for the canva training? If it was,,, I'll also not be able to make it.3 -
Good morning everyone, I sure hope all are well during the nasty weather some are getting. We have sun today and I know I am going to get out for a walk but later this afternoon maybe before dinner. My grandfather always went for a walk after dinner - you could always tell what time it was and I used to go with him from time to time. We never talked just walked ...
@ginnaboots oh I would love to see the light houses - I have never actually been in one, can you imagine living in one? Na I want a tree house - and definetely need willow trees and butterfly bushes and milkweed to attract the butterflies! There are times I just walk too and enjoy the area. This morning doing laundry I caught a plane landing ! Must be our plane for next week, getting ready to load us, er board us LOL
@Dianedoessmiles1 really good you did not blow away with the wind, you know I was never a fan of marry poppins what ever and dont' want you to turn into a mary poppins what ever LOL Keep safe, keep healthy! Busy busy M Season for sure !!
@jeanhickokhaley1 wow that picture is gorgeous and so peaceful !! Thanks for posting!
@NovemberGail awesome you get bluebirds!! hope they stick around and that pear tree, stunning !! Thank you!
@Tabatha_Cain - woohoooo I sure hope you move onto AAA and it is a good fit for you and for AAA - may you have the energy needed for both jobs tonight !!
@Catwmncat I never thought of putting chocolate chips with the almond butter on my popcorn cakes, guess what I am adding, gonna go get the ghiradelli ones for that, they are awesome ... besides, the Thomas Haas ones are almost all gone !! LOL Keep posting your foods, I get good ideas and then I share - my sister was told to do a 15 hour intermitten fasting to loose weight - you know she not happy, but maybe i can give her some tips to help her, when she asks, so far nope...
@everyone have a wonderful day today, it's humpday, half way to the weekend, we can just slide on down to Friday and look forward to a fantastic weekend!

@Dianedoessmiles1 -did you get snow yesterday (3/14?) we were supposed to either get 6-8 inches or 1 inch. We got the one and it didn’t stick on the roads or sidewalks2

Good afternoon, Everyone! First off, want to thank all who posted the beautiful flower pics! @LindieMaeP @NovemberGail @jeanhickokhaley1 (Sorry if I missed anyone) I love flowers so much! (We live in the northern part of WI, called The Northwoods. We’re almost at the border of WI and the Upper Peninsula of MI.) Hubby and I tried to plant flowers & bushes the first 2 summers we had our place up here and the deer ate everything! Dh tried it all to prevent it. He then went to the garden center to see what they would suggest. After asking what kinds of plants/flowers won’t the deer eat, she told him “plastic”. 😂
I love the snow as long as I can go out and do things in it. Walking outdoors has been hard this winter, mainly b/c we’ve had too much ice to deal with. I have an aversion to falling down. 😉 Anyway, with all of the snow we have had this month, we decided to go out on our snowmobiles yesterday. The temps were perfect! It was warm enough to be really comfortable, but not too warm to melt the snow yet. Also, there weren’t very many people who were out, so it was almost virgin snow. I’ve never had such a beautiful ride! Posted a pic below.
@ginnaboots I love lighthouses. They are so majestic. Catching it at sunset makes the scene so breathtaking.
@NovemberGail We use to have bluebirds before we moved. I do miss them, but can’t complain too much. Here we have bald eagles all around. We actually have 3 nesting pairs on our lake alone.
@Tabatha_Cain What area do you live in? Also, good luck on getting the job with AAA.
@Catwmncat Really glad you’re a WL. (Wacky leader) 😂
@Dianedoessmiles1 You can have our snow in about 2 weeks. I’m sure I’ll be ready to get rid of some of it. 😉
@LindieMaeP You are right about eventually getting tired of the snow. I might complain a bit, for sure by April, but I miss it just the same. Got to have my four seasons. Btw, I absolutely love tree houses, too! Been trying to talk dh into building one somewhere…anywhere on our property, but still hasn’t happened. Have you ever heard of Tree House Point near Seattle, WA? It is kind of like a B&B, but you stay in tree houses! It is the coolest place! We were able to stay there about 8 yrs ago. There was a show called Tree House Masters years ago and the guy who led the builds owns this place. If you like treehouses, you’ve got to check it out!

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
