Hey y’all!
Ran errands today and I got a whole bunch of weird looks because I just kept doing things like, side steps and walking in place, lol, basically just whatever to keep moving.
Hubby & I went to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant for his birthday dinner. Tomorrow (March 4th) is his actual birthday and we will be going to his favorite watering hole so he can “drink beer & play pool”. Lol, I really am not much of a drinker anymore but, every now & then, I like to toss back a few. I’m going to try and not overdo it though. I’m gonna drink a glass of water with every drink.
I read the article about the “dark coffee” that one of you posted, sorry, I can’t remember who because I didn’t write it down. But, I’m going to be changing my coffee to dark coffee. That was a little tidbit I didn’t know.
I really enjoy reading all y’alls posts. This girl is tired so till tomorrow, unless I’m drunk, then till Sunday. Have a great evening/day.

@txcritter69 I love to craft, too! What do you like to do? I see you like to make wreaths, I do occasionally make a wreath for our front door using my Cricut Maker. Thanks about Daisy, she's our little sweetheart!
@micaroo4 I am glad to hear he is a bit better. Continued good thoughts your way.
@Katmary71 My dill is crazy, and the basil is almost as bad lol. Here's a pic of it (from left to right: Italian basil, thyme, mint, parsley, dill, Thai basil). I hope you got better sleep last night. I hope Bill is okay? LOL about Asher! But I guess that's not funny because he kept you up.
Great job with the no zeros!
@DrewsAnna That's awesome. Happy birthday to your hubby! I hope you have fun tonight.
@tammymccrady6278 Congrats on that loss!
Hi all. I was supposed to get fasting blood tests done this morning but now I have to reschedule because I've been drinking coffee with sugar-free creamer in it.
I just can't resist the coffee lol. At 10:30 a.m., I am going to meet a friend at a revolving sushi bar restaurant. Yes, I am having sushi for brunch we'll see how that goes lol. I love sushi but I don't know if I love it for brunch! We have to go so early because the place gets jam-packed and we don't want to wait in line. Tonight, my hubs and I are going to go to the drive-in movies to see Cocaine Bear and another movie. I don't know if we will be able to stay up for the 2nd movie but we at least want to see Cocaine Bear which sounds really stupid but fun. We will bring snacks.

Good Morning!
Today I am going to be painting walls as long as hubby has no plans that I don't know about.
Congrats to all that have lost this week. I'm not sure how the scale will react tomorrow for me. This week it have been up and down.
@micaroo4 I hope Rich gets to feeling better real soon!
@DrewsAnna 🎉Happy Birthday to hubs🎊
@trooworld I got into crafting when I saw the prices for the decor I wanted to use in my home. I started with wood crafts using pallets and old fence planks. Then moved on to wreaths and now it is what ever pops in my head.😂
Here's a few things I have done recently.
Also here it the wreath I did for my MIL
These are a few others I have done
I have some others I want to do and will post ad soon as I do them.

@DrewsAnna Happy birthday to the hubby! Hope you two have fun, I love shooting pool but haven't in years. I think I missed the dark coffee article but that's what I usually drink, what was the tip?
@trooworld Wow your garden is going crazy, everything looks great! OK I see I need to order more pods for dill now, that's really impressive. I didn't realize it was in your indoor system when you mentioned it, that would be a great way to keep aphids away from it. It's hard to not have coffee before testing when you're used to having it every day. Let us know how Cocaine Bear is, I've been curious about that one and watched a Mr. Ballen episode on it last week.
@txcritter69 Wow I love your wood palette crafts! I just started following a group on Facebook about things you can do with them. Your wreaths are beautiful!
Hi everyone, happy Saturday! I fit in some exercise around my appointments, I had my HOA meeting one wrong and it's not until next Saturday so that was a break I wasn't expecting, with the rain I went and fed my brother's cat then came back here to rest. I have my Dad trying to help me with more grow lights since we won't be able to move the seedlings outside for a bit. The garden club this morning was fun, a retired nurse who grows and sells her succulents (crafting) came and gave us a bunch of ideas. I brought succulent cuttings for people and got some cool seeds, that's gotta be the coolest club ever. Time for a bath and hopefully some reading, have a great Sunday!

@txcritter69 - How did the painting go? All of your crafting is beautiful and excellent work! Wow!
@Katmary71 - Garden club sounds like just the thing for you. I'm not really into seeds, but we have done a lot with plants in our yard. My husband is more into it than I am- he's learned to propagate some stuff. I enjoy watching things progress. Some of our stuff froze and we are waiting to see what comes back- it's exciting when you see the sprouts!
@AmbersWay - Nice loss!
Happy Sunday- Lisa2 -
@txcritter69 Wow, very vey cool! I love the "Woof" leash holder! All of it is really impressive. I don't do anything with wood, we don't have any saws or special equipment for wood so I just don't work with it but your pics make me wish I did! What a beautiful wreath for your MIL. Thanks for sharing, you are so talented! I will post some of my crafts below.
@digger61 Congrats on the loss!
@Katmary71 Yeah I do not have a green thumb but that's pretty good, no? I really have to prune some of it today lol. Yeah the dill grew nicely indoors but I would put it in one of the end pods so it doesn't hog the light from other plants. Cocaine Bear was fun, it's what you would expect and if you go into it not expecting much, it's entertaining. It doesn't hurt that we had all the snacks lol. I'm glad you got some rest. That club does sound cool. Enjoy your Sunday, great no zeros! That boot craft is neat.
@AmbersWay Great loss!
Hi all. We had fun at sushi and then my DH went to the drive-in with snacks and that was fun. Today, I'm meeting a friend for coffee and doing some errands. Have a great Sunday!

Here are some of my crafts...
The vase pic is a before and after (I used etching cream and rubber bands to redo a vase). The second pic from the bottom is a cover I sewed for my KitchenAid stand mixer. The Santa has candy in his belly.
In the Christmas tree pic, I made the star on the top of the tree.

It was the last week of my medical terminology class. Very exhausting week! My biggest opportunity this week was dinners. I work retail, so if I'm closing, I don't get home until after 730. I eat lunch around 330, so when I get home, I'm hungry. I need to do a big grocery haul this week to be better prepared and able to whip something up that's more nutritious for late dinners.

@Cornanda Oh no, I hope everything bounces back from the freeze. I had blankets over my succulents and it was blown off, they're a hot mess now, I almost burst into tears as I was super excited to share cuttings with people for the garden club. I did manage to take a few clippings and took them in, I was happy to see someone walking around with one of them.
@trooworld LOL forget the movie, we get snacks and popcorn right?! Honestly I love popcorn so it's pretty exciting for me to go, I was looking at the movies earlier. Yep time to harvest your herbs, they look amazing. I found an old Aerogarden seed mix when I cleaned out my closet, I only have a 3 pod old one and out of the 3 pack I bought a few months ago the dill didn't make it so I popped an old one in there, we'll see how it does. Dill and basil are both more picky outdoors so it's exciting they're doing so great in hydroponic systems. Have fun with your friend! I love that vase, it's beautiful! Your work looks professional, I bet you could sell your crafts. I love the kitty wine glasses and the pug graphics!
@micaroo4 Oh no, I hope you get over it fast, prayers for a quick recovery for both of you.
@amanda32390 Congratulations on finishing your medical terminology class! That is late getting home as far as dinner and being able to cook, fast stuff or prep would work great for that.
@FtoFit @tammymccrady6278 @FusiaKat Way to go on first week of March amazingness!
@sleepygirl79 If you just had a lot more food than normal or more sodium like going out to eat those could be reasons, I hope it comes off fast!
@JenAWhite Yay robin and daffodils means spring is on the way, glad you and doodle got outside!
Hi team! I'm doing the Fat2Fit cleaning challenge this week so workout plus bathrooms means I'm worn out and I couldn't finish the shower today but I'm glad it's all looking better. Sometimes things get so messy it causes too much anxiety to start but I try to keep up with it. When I was bedridden my house was a mess and it's never as bad as then but I'm scared to let it go for long when I'm not doing well. I took an early bath and the rest of the day's been more physically calm watching TV, reading, and catching up here. Tomorrow's the pain clinic, I honestly am hoping it's not the nurse I usually see since we butt heads, it's great that she cares but I think it comes out a little odd so I'm happy to just have someone fill my medication tomorrow and send me on my way. Have a great Monday!

@txcritter69 your decor is beautiful!
It’s nice to see so many crafters. I like to do some for gifts. If I figure out how to post pictures on mobile, I’ll share. Great to get some ideas from others.
@micaroo4 I hope you and Rich get better quickly. Hopefully not COVID.
Well my weekend was crazy. Friday I didn’t do a whole lot in the evening. My stomach was upset and I was getting dizzy spells. Felt a bit better Saturday, but was a day of running around between children’s activities, baby shower, and a bday party to attend. I tried to stay good at the events and mostly ate fruits, but did have a couple of not so calorie friendly items. Today, I kept busy doing laundry, dishes, and made pizza pretzels for kids lunches. Now back to work tomorrow ☹️ After gaining weight, I’m going to have to be extra careful this week. All the best to everyone this week!2 -

@micaroo4 Oh no! I hope you feel better soon.
@gemwolf110 @rodgerd27 @txcritter69 Congrats on the losses!
@amanda32390 Congrats on surviving your hard week! Sounds like getting some healthy groceries would help you out. Great job with your no zeros!
@sleepygirl79 That definitely looks like a fluke. Skinny vibes for next week for you!
@JenAWhite Way to go!!! How cool to see signs of spring, I'm ready for it!
@Katmary71 That's right! LOL Fingers crossed for your seeds in the Aerogarden. Thanks, I did have fun with my friend! Awww, thank you. I have no time to put in the effort to sell my crafts, I wish! Plus it's kind of a hassle with my full-time job (we have to get permission to work other jobs so it's kind of a pain). The kitty wine glasses are my favorite thing I've made! I agree about mess causing anxiety. I have that going on right now because I made a big mess in the living room yesterday with art supplies. I hope your pain clinic visit goes well and you don't have to deal with that nurse. Great no zeros. 
Hi all. My goal today is to track all three meals. If I track snacks, too, that will be golden but I really just want to track the meals to get tracking down again. I was doing so well! Yesterday, I worked on my artwork all day and made a big mess in the living room. Didn't want to stop to cook so we ordered pizza delivery. Just a cr@p day as far as health goes. I hope today will be better.
