Serial Starters

Missy- it was actually at an Amish store, here... they get things that are discontinued and sell at amazing prices... these were 45 cents! Not sure how I stopped at 2! Hehe

There is an easy recipe, if you Google... white cake mix and canned pumpkin... there's a 3rd ingredient.... maybe, water or milk....I only had to add 3Tbsp milk to mixes and, it was delicious!

Hi All~~

Just checking in while I have a spot of internet.....

I think I missed someone's birthday - Happy Birthday Tess?!?

ATT supposed to come tomorrow (Tuesday). Failing that, I will be NYC-bound on Wednesday and I'll be connected with the world again.

Annie - You never know what will happen with that house you're looking at.
When we bought our money pit here in NC, we had a strict high limit of what we could spend. The house listed at a price 50K over that. We made an offer of our limit, and we were declined of course.
Then a month later, they came back with a lowered counter offer, but it was still 30K over what we could do.
A month after that they called again and accepted our offer because nobody except us wanted their house.

Thinking of Kathryn ----

Sara - How did it get to be Monday so quickly? Ack. Wednesday is your eye doctor? Sending good vibes for that. Oh - family is safe it seems. Those fires are frightening - a whole different dose of destruction from a hurricane.

Hey everyone - sorry I've been absent lately. Have a lot going on, between school and working at the wedding plans.

I've hit something of a stall over the past week, and I know it's largely because of digestive system issues, but I'm going to take it as a sign that I need to tighten up on logging and stick better to my gym routine. I kinda crashed last week on that because I had so much going on with school and the wedding plans, but...this is part of the wedding plans; I have to make time for it.

Last weekend, the boyfriend and I went out to Vegas to check out the place we were planning to use as our venue. Turns out we have to go elsewhere - the venue was everything we were hoping for but staff was...not. We made an appointment to tour. They forgot about it. Was told that they only show up to the sales department on Sundays if someone has an appointment - we called, and there was no one there. They just left us hanging. So if that's the kind of service we can expect...not the best sign. Look, we're not gonna be super picky, we're gonna work with our vendors to the best of our ability, but...we're not pushovers. There are a few things that are dealbreakers. Leaving us hanging like that is one of them. So, we're going back this coming weekend to check out other places. And then next weekend is my first obstacle course race. The weekend after that is the only one I have free until Thanksgiving weekend. It's all getting a bit overwhelming...and pretty exciting.

In more fun (and health-related) news, things I've gotten lately include a new fitness tracker, and a large electric pressure cooker someone discarded. The latter was sitting out in front of one of the nicer buildings in town with a "FREE - DAMAGED BUT WORKS" sign on it; I tested it out last night and it does, indeed, work amazingly; the damage is, in fact, purely cosmetic (and makes me like it even more, because that just means it has a story). That's going to make cooking after school a lot simpler.

And...that's about all the important stuff that's going on. This update is already getting pretty long. Hope everyone else is having a nice day.

Gem... hahahahahha!

Mango!! So sorry to here about you wedding venue. I hope you find something soon. And I completely agree with the decision made, if you are going to forget about me now, what happens on my wedding day.

Congrats on the pressure cooker score... Im super jealous. Ive been wanting one. And what type of fitness tracker did you get?

MMCJJ- Welcome to the crew . If you want to friend me, feel free to do so

I recently canceled my weight watchers membership. I'm not sure why but I just felt so restricted. I'm hoping MFP helps me form some sustainable habits.

I just canceled mine. I’m at my 30 points today for WW but at 891 calories on MFP. It gets frustrating at times with the difference. I think I’m going to try a more Mediterranean diet. Maybe even give Keto or paleo a try. I shall see going to do my research before just jumping completely on board.

Missy,
This is what drove me crazy with Weight Watchers and their over-done point system and free fruits and veggies, blah, blah....Then when they got rid of the Community Boards, I left. Oh, and did I say I couldn't afford it any more?

I hope that you can find something you like and fits well for you.
