    Beeps2011 you are a SuperStar!

    Well done everyone that did major food prep over the weekend! Something that I need to get in the habit of doing. Like Emmalusmom I am afraid things will go bad before I get to them and I hate wasting food. So I do buy most things in smaller quantity, means more trips to the store but less waste.

    Can hardly wait for the weather to stay nice enough here to start my garden, have to get into May to miss the last frost hopefully.

    Have a great week everyone!

    No food prep for me, other than supper, but I did get a good deal on some frozen veggies. Farm Bureau was having a sale and I got three cases of 12 one pound bags for $52. {$1.44/lbs} It was 12 pounds of mixed veggies and 12 pounds each of two kinds of green beans. Have I mentioned I like green beans?

    I'm new to this group. I started MFP in January and have been successfully working towards my weight loss goals. I just started the community part as I'm looking to add new friends and also looking for support and motivation.

    Good morning everyone. Nothing too exciting here, except a little rain to take away some of the snow. The sun is now shining and it looks like it will be a pretty day. The robins are out in droves and one flew into the dining room window really hard and croaked on the deck yesterday. So bummed. I wish they didn't do that, we get one once in awhile, they usually bounce off and are ok.
    I am getting my excercising done this morning so I can go down and finish a customer's quilt and get another one started. Maybe do a little of my own project if I get the time. I hope everyone has a productive day today, including me. ha ha...

    Good morning cool kids! Off to clinic with my daughter. Getting closer to our last treatment and feeling relieved to see the end in sight.

    Larro, great story. ...and an appropriate name for a cat. But I'm not a cat person.

    Natalie, I wish I had your rain. We had a dry winter. I'd even welcome our summer thunderstorms!

    Great day kids...

    Hope all of you are well and in the best of spirits.

    Sheesh you can not fall a day behind in here or else you miss a TON of news.

    I took extreme fit last night and my performance was not my best, but I have to let my knee heal or deal with the consequences. Today is a rest day other than a walk.

    Welcome all newbies, stay tuned as the waters of support are always moving around in here.

    Have a great day everyone.

    As my girl Beeps says BOOM

    Good Afternoon Cool Kids. I've spent 5 hours in the garden and planting grapevines. The last hour was a little too much. It has clouded up now {with a little thunder}, and cooled down to 81F but it was hot there for a little while. I even saw a strange, bright yellow orb up in the sky a couple of times. Pretty scary. Now that I'm in the house my back is wanting to hurt, so I may be done for the day. I still need to do some transplanting here in the house, so I guess I could work on that with a gimpy back.

    Hope everyone is having a good day.

    You haven't hacked the video on my bedroom laptop have you? I swear I was just massaging my leg this morning after Margie left for work. I eh, had a cramp. Yea, that's the ticket. A cramp.

    Howdy Cool Kids,

    Thanks for the video Larro. I didn't know he and I had the same birthday! I'll add a candle for him this year. What a loss to us all.

    I got to the early a.m. gym workout, and was about to change for HardCORE, when I realized I forgot extra undies! :# . I thought about wearing my tights under the sweat pants, but just couldn't do it. I'd be uncomfortable in damp tights for the rest of the day. *sigh*. I'll strive to make up for it later.

    Caramel, so glad to hear you're knee is healing. It's an excellent performance to be present and do your best -- which I know you did.

    CrosbyLee, that's great news about your daughter. How's she feeling?

    Natalie, sad about the robin. Where I live they're getting drunk on pyrocantha (sp?) berries, and running into things too. It's a bummer when they're at full speed.

    Welcome ReadytoLose. Bookmark the thread and join the party.

    Good job Shotsonme!! You're doing great. 15 lbs. in 30 days is huge. And now you're not so much! ;)

    E'sMom, eggs! I totally forgot to boil eggs. How silly of me (I have chickens!). That sounds like a nice haul. Amazing that you already have watermelons at your market. We won't see those until July. Mostly winter squash and kale for food, and all of the seedlings for planting now.

    I boiled beans last night for the next couple of dinners. Great northerns which I'll add some canned tomatoes, a bay leaf and some Italian seasoning. Maybe drizzle a little olive oil if there's calories left.

    Have a great day folks!
