Wheat and corn small street taco size tortillas, turkey, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes for lunch today! Yum!
Gym was nice today, one of the managers there, asked how I was. She had asked my husband where I was during my vertigo time. Its sweet to be missed! I feel validated when people have paid attention to my bumblings around this world. Is that wrong? I used to leave notes to no one, when I lived by myself. In case someone missed me, they would know where to look! I would return, and throw away the note. Silly huh?!
Everyone have a nice day all!
Rebecca

I don't think that is silly at all, I think it's brilliant! I have a friend who lives alone, she enjoys camping and day kayaking trips alone. With technology being what it is now, she drops a pin of her location to me and we set a time for me to hear from her. If I don't hear from her, I'm to contact the local police department to start a search. To be totally honest, sometimes I forget about her and she forgets about me, but it's never more than a few hours more than it should be

When I was a young person with a brand new drivers licence, my Grandfather panicked every time I left the driveway. There were three ways that took you to the neighbouring town where all the boys were. I had to tell him which road I was taking and call when I arrived at my destination. That way they would know which road to take in the event of an accident or breakdown. One time I did break down and only had to sit in my vehicle for a couple hours when Grampie pulled up to rescue me. Fond memories.

Getting into a strange series called "Dietland". I don't know if I am entertained or repulsed by it yet! Its very quirky!

Yep, sounds good to me! When I was a nudist in California, I would feel naked if I didn't have earrings on! It seems like a world away now. I mentally am a nudist under me clothes though. I am officially what we used to call a pale butted person....a cotton-tail!
Rebecca

Did hula hoop for 5 minutes, held my plank for 3 minutes, then took the extremepump class. The plan for tomorrow is to do Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer DVD.

Kim – I’m sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant what was your recipe for the icing?

Wendy – your husband wanting to map out where you plant you plants sounds like something that OCD Vince would do….lol Love your answer to him! I tell the kids that Vince may be book smart (he is) but I’m the person who is more people smart (that’s true)

M – I would say that I’m pretty meticulous like your mom. Usually on Tues or Wed I plan the following weeks’ meals and write down in a calendar that I have what we’ll be eating. Sometimes I have to print out a recipe for something. But in this way I can make up a shopping list of what I need (meats, etc). Then I usually go food shopping (when it works into the schedule) on Thurs or Fri. I try to do most if not all of the cooking on Saturday (this includes any desserts that I need to make). I also on Tues or Wed map out what exercise I will do the following week and write it in this calendar. I check if there’s a reason why I need to do a workout for less than an hour. The time I used the pick up service at the store I had to decide what items I could wait a few weeks for and which ones I needed right then. That was the hardest part. I, also, like looking at the other options at the store. That’s one reason why I like a big store, versus Vince who likes a small store where there’s only 2 options. When we’re close to running out of something (like cereal), that’s when I write it on a grocery list which I keep on my phone in my pocketbook (handbag…lol) so it’s always available to me if I run into a store.

I haven’t deactivated my facebook account, either. Honestly, I play “Words with Friends” more than anything else. I also like keeping in touch with the kids

Yesterday used some of the stain-free in the spa. It looks much bluer now. The problem with this stuff is that it dissolves so quickly. I can see where it had already dissolved so it didn’t clean one wall far down. What I did was I had a sock, and I put the sock on and then some of the stain free on the sock. Next time I think we’ll drain the spa some and then I can probably reach the bottom walls of the spa. I most likely won’t be able to reach the bottom, tho, without having to put my head under the water. Vince and I went out and looked at the lights he has. They do look nice, I must say.

Gamelia – welcome!

Remember I was talking about the bubba mug that I got that had the taste of coffee in it so I was going to soak it with peppermint and hopefully the coffee flavor would be masked at least by the peppermint. Well, it WORKED!!

Okie – the latest recipe I got for icing calls for you to add some meringue powder and then whip it real good. I’ve found that makes it somewhat light and fluffy.

I think I’ve only unfriended someone a few times…and that’s because they died

Rye – Vince gets so upset when a company says something like “visit our Facebook page”. He won’t have anything to do with facebook. And he’d absolutely kill me if I ever posted something about where I was at that moment (assuming I’m not at home), or something like “on the way to Florida”. When I broke the bone in my foot and Vince had to take me food shopping, what he would do is drop me off in front of the store then go, park, and read a book or his email or something. Then, when I was finished I’d have to call him and he’d pick me up.

Exercised, stopped at the Salvation Army then went to Aldi. Then home, got dinner ready, post office, bowling, CVS, home for dinner, Publix then ceramics then mahjongg. Now home for the night

Katie – good luck to you tomorrow

Looks like we got a new neighbor across the street. I’ll give them time to settle in and probably take over a banana bread. I have so many bananas in the freezer since they were so cheap

Carol – whenever Vince needs to do something, he ALWAYS goes to uTube. That’s where he learned how to repair the mower deck and just recently got tips on putting the grout on the tiles. He said that there was one thing that he did that if he hadn’t seen that video, he wouldn’t have known to do it and it would have been a real big problem. I used it to find things about using the loom for making a scarf, hat and now blanket. I also use it to look at exercise DVD's to see if it would be something that I'd be interested in.

Heather – so sorry for your hubby

Rebecca – I’ve started watching “Dietland”, too. I can’t make up my mind about it. Let me know what you think

Michele in NC

When someone asks me what my partner thinks or wants, etc., I pause and look thoughtful for a moment and then sincerely say, "I give up!" LOL!!!

My favorite T-shirts. In university, my worst course was Medieval English. I will take Newton or Einstein any day over semiotics.

On Facebook, I like it for the simple fact that I can keep in touch with family that I wouldn't otherwise be keeping in touch with, several cousins for example. I also have friends that I don't see often, not all of them post stuff all the time, but someone seems to post something interesting every day (not the same people all the time). I've never had the urge to post all of my meals, although I did post a photo of an amazing dessert I made after the people who were coming over for dinner bailed. More so that they could see what they missed than for any other reason! I also use it to scoop photos of our grandson off of DIL's page, she is aware and fine with it so it's all good. I have unfollowed a few children of one of my cousins. They were posting rants about people who "done them wrong", and the language was more than I needed to "hear" (and I worked in a pub for many years! Heard all kinds of language!). I don't imagine I'll ever delete it from my life, but I certainly do not add everyone that I meet to my friends list! We went out of town last year, met up with some friends and two other people that a few of these friends had gone to school with. We had a nice time. Get home and the woman has invited hubby and I to be her friend. We both accepted, but then ended up either blocking her or unfriending her within a month. Too much junk on her newsfeed, and of course it all showed up for us to see. Ugh. Don't need it!
Still only halfway through the posts, had a busy day today and almost didn't log in in time! Would have blown 300 days! Had a good eating day today, maybe tomorrow will be good also!
Welcome to the newbies, hugs for those who need them, congrats to those celebrating!

Had a luncheon with my string teacher colleagues, I did have a slice of blueberry pie-it’s summer and I did account for it

Our most wonderful handyman swung by late yesterday and investigated our attic crawl space. It was hotter than hot up there but that man is unstoppable! He removed the nest, no squirrels were present In the space. He rewired the fan, then place a metal screen over the vent opening, voila! We have a working fan and critters can’t get in!

Today- a nice long walk with bff before it gets too too hot then back to puttering with little projects around the house, my favorite past time.

NYKAREN

Good morning Ladies -

Heather - Condolences to you and your hub.

Rebecca - My mom always says I shouldn't leave the house without eyebrows (hers are very light, mine are almost non existent), perfume and my toenails painted. My earrings stay in all the time, I'm lazy

Michelle - Glad you got your favorite mug "fixed".

Grocery delivery - I live out in the sticks where we can't get grocery delivery. I have used the pick up service a few times when we return from trips. I have gotten produce and not had any problems, they even followed my request for 4 ripe bananas and 4 green ones. I also got dairy (yogurt) with no problems with expiration dates. It was a great plan, and I'll do it again. I place the order for what I will need and have it ready for pickup for the time we should go by the store on our way home. The one time we were late, I called the store and they kept it ready for the next day when we got home (and that was Thanksgiving week).

I have my pest control guys coming today to put down stuff to kill the grubs so the dang armadillos will go dig in someone else's yard and then tomorrow the landscape guy is supposed to show up to start cleaning up my flower beds! Yeah to both. We have finally had rain here so I will probably have to mow the whole lot on Thursday instead of just the pygmy yard. It will give me more time to listen to my book!

Welcome to the new ladies! Log in often and let us know where you live (specific or general and what we should call you). If you will sign your posts each time, it helps us keep people straight.

Okie in the TX Hill Country -- who needs to get off her butt and get her miles in so she can log in to work on time after 10 days off!
