    Howdy Everybody. I did have a great day yesterday. And plan on another one today. Alice, my daiughter is comeing out.sdthis morning. We are going to work out a design for my other daughter, Kathy she wants some towels on it wfith wfhat we called the Texas Star.To go in her new house.

    I cooked some eggplant yesterday and it was so good. I have been trying different veggies out here lately some I haven't tried and some Thaat I haven't used very much. So far eggplant iss the best. I did not care for parnips or maybe I just didn.t cooked them right. Another one that I really like but has not fixed in a very long time. And that is Okra and tomatoes/onions.

    What aare some of your veggie?

    Hope this fine you all well and having a wonderfuil time.---Marie

    Marie,

    I fix a large pyrex dish of vegetables consisting of zucchini, bell pepper (green & red), onions, carrots, broccoli florets - and probably any other vegetable you can think of. I drizzle it with olive oil, salt & pepper (or any other spice that you like) and bake it. It is delicious, low-cal, and I always have plenty for another meal.

    I hope you all had a good weekend! Not too much going on here. Been real hectic, working on my taxes and helping the kids. I have pretty much quit posting my food. I have it down pretty good now.
    Calie, I have been having computer trouble too. Can't get my emails to work right. Talk to you all later!

    Hi!

    Marie said I should stop by and say hi, so here I am! :happy:

    Jeff, I see you are in IN...I am in SW Indiana right now, but I grew up in Indy and went to college in NW Indiana. We finally got some snow here last night - I burned a ton of calories shoveling this morning!

    Have a good day! :flowerforyou:

    Hi Shar, So glad you drop in to visit. I really don't remenber how we met but am so glad we did.
    So you got your snow. We were surpose to get freezing rain last night but it hasn't made it yet But it is cold and the temp. is dropping fast now.
    I wonder if jeff got any snow. He has had his share of it this year. If he did he will be on here soon complaining about it. All that shoveling.

    Did your little doggie get out in it? Sammy loves the snow. but he hasn't seen much a little last year. Not enough for Jerry [ my husband] to shovel.
    What is the blue team?

    Do drop in again real soon. And have a great day----Marie
  • Hi everyone, we got home yesterday, but I have a cold, didn't feel like climbing the stairs to the computer!
    Hi Shar140... I've seen your picture, must have been reading posts somewhere..
    Did you enjoy that snow shovel? every now and then we see a snow shovel for sale down here, people use them for other things here..:laugh: Major pooper scoopers!!
    We have one, but I forgot why!!
    still feeling ycky so I won't stay long..just sinus related muck is all it is.

    The cats did fine on our trip, the new guy, Pudge was better behaved than the two that go all the time~~ !! but they still won't be nice to Pudge, and we will probably let Pudge stay at home. He is more playful at home, but he still played with his toys while we traveled. He knows how to go outside using the pet door, but he hasn't returned that way.. mostly coz he loves to stay outside playing.. and I start missing him, and scoop him up.
    I don't think we will leave the pet door open while we are gone.. so he will ahve to stay indoors. My vet says a cat doesn't need to go outside, ever. But they love it so much!

    Shar, I see your little daschund, such a cutie.. we saw one this week, in Texas or Arizona, he was standing outside of a fuel stop doorway. Everyone stopped to look at him, wondering where he came from. Then his 'Dad' came out and they walked to their truck together. Apparently, the little dog waits for him, and he doesn't use a leash.. I would be afraid to do that!
    Well, time for lunch, leftover from last night. Barbeque pork. Tonight is veggies with cornbread. I need to get some protein bars for our trip.
    take care and have a safe day,
    Marie, stay warm, and don't go outside! I mean it!!:heart:

    Hi Phoebe, glad you made it back home Ok. I was wondering how all the Kitty's did on the trip. calie has been a pain today. Bore Ii guess, too cold to go out and chase birds I did my exwecise tape this morning using that tape you sent me. It poop me out.

    I haven't been out at all infact i cancil an appt. today. Her office is in Dallas. And today is not no day to mess with Dallas traffic. the roads are beginning to freeze now. At least the bridges and overpass is. They say it will get worst as the day roll on. You stay warm too.----Marie

    Oliver (my dog!) loved the snow! He ran out and did his business, then he wanted to run around and play! I don't let him stay out too long though, he hates to wear clothes so I don't want him to get cold!

    Phoebe, that is so funny about the dachshund you saw! I'd be afraid to leave my dog un-leashed too! I know mine wouldn't stay put! :laugh: If you ever see a Kimball truck, that is the company I work for! Or any Nancy Baer trucks - they are based here as well. I know the lady that owns the company.

    Hi Char! Nice to see you here. If you are in SW Indiana good luck with the weather! Looks like you are getting a bad storm. My youngest daughter goes to ISU in Terra Haute. Nice to see you here!

    Marie! I am going to gripe now! 5-9" more of snow tonight! And Yup! I will be shoveling! LOL

    Outside of that just working and working out! I only have 4 more weeks then I will have completed P90X Classic version. Then I will do it again! I am pretty pleased that I have gotten this far at my age! LOL

    Everyone, PJ, and others, have a great day! Tell us what is going on! PJ I am looking for a new cat now! Finally looks like I have worn my wife down! LOL

    Take care!
  • OH Jeffrey......here kitty kitty!! Do you want Pudge? He's had all of his shots, he's a sweetheart..and he wants to be friendly with other cats.. what more can you ask for? I just love the little guy to bits.. he plays all the time, and doesn't let it bother him that my snobby cats won't be play with him. I would drive to Indiana to see that he got a really good home..
    Shar, I can imagine those little short dauschund legs in snow! Trying to leap up and over, what a workout!
    Yes, I've seen lots of Nancy Baer trucks, Kimball too I think. My husband knows them all.
    I hope your company is not planning any layoffs.. gosh, every day is another layoff announcement..or two or three even! Our company is rolling right along, no plans to cut back, even though it is a bit slow right now. They are actually buying more trucks..
    I keep taking the meds and I am better, but I get so impatient.. will have to drink more fluids coz the meds need lots of water.
    Marie, I'm glad you stayed indoors, sammy too. I can't imagine the temps in Canada, they don't seem possible!!
    take care

    Good morningPhoebe, Jeff,Shar, Pat and Biggramma and all the rest who may driop in,
    Pat and Bigramma been missing you guys.

    What a mess we have in The Dallas area. Cars sliding everywhere. but the sun is out and it will all melt soon. SThey don't know how to care for the roads here and people don't know how to drive on it.
    it is just a thin coating of ice.
    Jeffrey hope you don't have to shovel too much snow. Have a bowl of snow ice cream for me.

    Stay warm everybody.--Marie
  • hi all, time to go to work, Marie, hope no one slides into your house!! We don't expect icy roads coz we are leaving after it melts.
    still got the old nagging cold, but it can't be helped. I'll keep taking meds..
    I've been reading up on Pilates, both here and on a recommended website for learning some of the basics.
    I think it is something that I would continue, and I can adapt it to a limited routine while traveling, such as five minutes every time we change drivers.
    well, take care all of you, and those of you who are away, hope you are well

    Hi all!

    We got a lot of snow dumped on us again last night & this morning, on top of the ice we got yesterday & snow the day before that! :noway: So I had to shovel again today, but I took the day off work - most businesses were closed anyway since our county is in a state of emergency. I'm also fighting off a cold!

    Hope everyone stays safe & warm!

    I heard from Shar last night so then she still had electricity. Don't know about Jeffrey yet. Their state is really catchiong it. It was pretty rought here in the Dallas area yesterday morning. aand still have problems on the roads The Tv local channels stay on pass tjjeir news time and kept telling about the traffic. This morning it is freezing fog and left over from Yesterday ice storm. the first one we had in 6 years. But not the wprst I have seen here. It is cold here but gonna warm up. You and Jim be careful.

    Hi everyone!

    Shar- I heard that you guys really got clobbered down your way. Hope your doing ok!

    Marie- We are fine! Just 7" or so more of snow. I just added it to my collection!

    Pj- Thanks for the offer but I better pass for now. I want to live in my house not the garage! LOL

    Everyone else- I hope you are all doing fine.

    Has everyone been exercising? I am still dropping body fat percentage but not a lot of weight due to muscle replacement. But I am happy with the results. In 5 weeks I will be back on cardio and weight loss again until the goal is reached. My youngest may do the Ms. Illiana pagent in March. Shar it is at the Aztar in Evansville. I will keep you all posted. She has the Ms. Cosmopolitan in 2 weeks. My wife is doing the yoga with me now and is going to do the Ab-X with me starting tonight. It is real rough. It is about 380 crunches of different types in 12 minutes. I have been doing it for a few months and I am just getting to the place that I can get through it. It is about the hardest exercise routine I have ever done. I thought that I was ready for it when I was doing about 800 crunches a night but I was not even close to being able to master it. Probably a little age issue there too! LOL

    Take care everyone! That is about that is new for me! Still working!

    Jeffrey

    Hi all! I am doing fine, I still had electricity and I dug myself out of the foot of snow yesterday. I know a lot of others weren't so fortunate around here. I've just got a pesky cold dragging me down!

    Marie - There is a Biggest Loser competition going on here on MFP - see the "Motivation and Support" section of the Message Boards. We are divided up into teams - so there's a blue team, black team, green team, and red team. I'm on the BLUE team!!

    Phoebe - I heard a lot of KY didn't have electricity. There are shelters open for people to go to though. I hope your brother is ok!

    Jeff - congrats on the body fat % loss!! Keep it up! :drinker:

    Good Morning from Frozen Indiana!

    Cold and snowy still! We are going down to see our mothers on Saturday, about 100 miles south of here. It will be nice to see them. We try to go a couple of times a month but with the weather this winter it has been tough.

    We have another potential winter storm for Monday and Tuesday. They are already talking about the possibility of more heavy snow for us. I give up! Bring on the Global Warming!

    Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe! We are another day closer to spring!

    Jeffrey
