WOMEN AGES 50 + FOR SEPTEMBER 2015

ohhhhh had a GREAT feast of a lunch. Saute'd 3 oz of cubed turkey kelbasa with: cubed red potatoes, cut asparagus stalks (left the heads out until later when I add them plus the zucchini cubed). Added spices then water to cover and cook the potatoes...added some chicken stock paste. In my big ramen bowl I put in the fresh baby spinach (ripping the bigger leaves) and cut up the Light Baby Bell cheese. Then I poured the soup/stew mixture over the spinach to cook it just right. What a heavenly thing!!!
Of course tonights dinner is a piece of Daves Killer bread. Its ok, my lunch feast should carry me over wonderfully. I use the time then I am cooking for husband and son to drink my 24 oz of moroccan mint iced tea, (and munch on my toast).
You know its a great feeling to eat to fuel you. It is soo much better than eating to make you sleepy or "tight feeling innards full".
Breakfast was a cup of wheat bran flakes in a bowl with my yogurt on top. A bit too much flakes, I stopped tasting the yogurts nice honey flavor and all I tasted with the wheat flakes....

Yesterday was interesting. I didn't log in my food because I had a turkey sandwich with tater tots (deep fried and perfect) and also a Quick Wit Beer. On the way home I declared in a nice drunken buzz that I wanted CANDY. So because the corner store has candy but its expensive, my husband drove up the road further to Fred Meyer to apeeze me. So he is pointing out the bags of chocolate, but I am picking up a Bit'o Honey bar, and those huge white nougut bars...BIG HUNK bar...and maybe some NECCO candy...anyway...he told me that we could find those by the registers. Of course there WERE"NT any at the registers, but there were the big bars of Hershey chocolate. (because there always is at the coast because everyone makes S'MORES here). So he is saying, "Well go back and get the candy you wanted". Meanwhile......my brain is screaming "Nooooo get out of the store now girl!!" So I just say, its passed. He is looking at the moving belt saying, "Well we didn't need to buy any of this then". I said, "Well son will be happy to get the chocolate and the soda". My husband is shaking his head at me as we get into the car. I just say with a smile.... "Don't even TRY to understand me buster". There were guys in the entrance that were asking for donations for the Special Olympics so husband put a dollar in. They gave us both a small tootsie roll. So that was my treat. I politely demanded his tootsie roll at home......Life is definately interesting....

Well, this is the thread that never sleeps!
So much going on with everyone. Just want to put my two cents' in that I agree 100 % with Lisa's thoughts on Carol's job situation. Hard to deal with a church being this way, but Carol, you deserve better.
Allison, you are really in a tough situation. I hope this gets clearer for you soon. Wasn't it Ann Landers who used to say you have to figure out if you are better off with or without him? I wish you all the best.
Went on a hike in the woods today and here is my pic of a swamp I passed. Last time I was there I saw a beaver in all this algae.

Lisa - Thanks so much for your input, especially the "interpretation"! Communication makes anyone's job easier and more efficient.

Thanks to everyone for your support! I have my resume updated. I used a website to do it and they want a whopping $1.95 for me to be able to download it and play with it for a week. I think it's worth it for all of the tips and formatting. I'll check out their cover letter templates, too, to see if I've been doing it right. Hope to be able to start sending out electronic versions as early as tomorrow.

Sylvia - I am so sorry that you had another stint in the hospital but so glad to hear from you!

Loved the pictures of walking sites. I'm missing my mountains terribly right now and wish I could be hiking the trails.

I think I may have developed IBS. Food is going straight through and every time I eat I feel sick. I've been lectured by MFP almost every day for two weeks because I don't eat enough calories. This is very much unlike me. I know it's stress but I'm coping as best as I can.

Good night, everyone!

love the horsey pictures,
well I went to lay down and read my magazines and fell asleep at 4:30 pm got up about 2:15 am, have chili in the crock put and made a loaded baked potato casserole.I dont either of these but figured if I cook these and make individual servings and put them in the freezer less I have to cook daily..
Sylvia~ you have to get down to the bottom(no pun intended)of your colon issues, I feel so bad for you..
dont work until 12:30 today so will try and get stuff done around here...

Irish Terri So many Terri's and this is shorter than my previous lol
Loved reading about everyone's weekend, and seeing the pictures. I guess I will get to know names eventually lol.

*Hugs* to those of you going through strife at the moment, especially those fighting illness.

I loved the Carnie story. I have done a few daft things in my time in the throes of 'love'. Lucky for me that I eventually found a good man.

My weekend was good. My elder daughter and her family came for lunch yesterday. I cooked a huge pot of veg soup and she brought some contributions. My DGD is returning to university in England in a few weeks, so I relish the time with her. She won't be home again until Christmas. My older GS is starting his first year at Queen's University in Belfast next week. Belfast is only 15 miles away. My younger GS moved up to the local Grammar School at the beginning of September. We normally visit them every Sunday, but they have come to us the last two weeks, since I had my surgery.

This morning DH has gone to his yoga group, so I have the morning free to amuse myself. I'm working on some Hardanger embroidery and a patchwork quilt at the moment. I will post some pics later. In the meantime this is a Ruby Wedding Card I made for my DBIL and DSIL using parchment craft techniques.
