Aliza, sounds like a great plan after your DH retires. So exciting!
Heather, your dining room table looks so inviting. Just beautiful! The menu is great!
@pipcd34, it’s not the procedure that’s so bad, it’s the prep! LOL! Hope it all goes well.
@cariwaldick, I know what clearing the cache is. I’ll try that. Thanks so much!
@SuzOh, sending a friend request now.
@Vickil57
Thanks! He’s still doing great.Glad Ollie is doing well and not upset about his little trip.
@coastalgosgal, that dinner looks amazing!! You have the same dinnerware as my niece. Love it!
Hope you’ve all had a great day. I’m moving my guest bedroom to the bonus room upstairs and making the downstairs bedroom a home office. I can do part of my job at home and hope by having a home office I can do even more here. I’ve been looking for a desk for a couple of weeks and went by a friend’s house this afternoon. She’s got several she’s looking to get rid of and one of them is perfect for me. I asked her how much she wanted for it … and she said ZERO! Right in my price range! I’ll post photos of the room when it’s put together.
Have a great evening!

the prep stuff has never bothered me either.1 -
Soooooo apparently NFL is having technical difficulties that started on Monday. I went to tech support. They are aware and actively working on it.
Just an fyi.

Baby Matthew, our great-grandson is growing way too fast. Right along with his best friend, Bear!

Did the Step by Step DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Elle Glam’s Total Toning DVD.
Welcome everyone new!
Aliza – when will your husband be retiring? Sounds like a lovely trip you have planned.
Started helping Vince take down the Christmas decorations. I’d already taken some of the decorations off the main tree, we got the ones off the Star Trek tree (good by Trouble with Tribbles ornament….see you next Christmas!)
I swear, whenever GS Cookie season starts, it never fails that it’s cold. It was absolutely beautiful yesterday, the cookie season starts today and what’s happening…they’re predicting snow on Saturday!
Lisa – I hope the appointment comes thru for you real soon
Pip – is this the first time you’ve had a colonoscopy? I agree with katla, the prep is the pits
Heather – “restaurant chez Heather”, how appropriate!
Kylia – I can hardly imagine the euphoria that Paige must be feeling
Rori – hope your hand gets better fast so you can come here. We’ll miss you. Just read, don’t post.
Pip – I never heard of not being able to have bread, tomato or onion before the colonoscopy. I can understand the tomato – I know you can’t have red Gatorade. But bread and onion?
Had the Newcomer general meeting. One more to go! Website update: I have no idea what’s going on. I’m just doing my job the way I know how. I’ve decided that if Adra wants me to learn how to put people on the new directory, first I’m going to express my concerns to her. I honestly don’t want anything to do with this new directory. I’m still trying to figure out why we’re reinventing the wheel.
Dentist tomorrow...fun, then take things to the soup kitchen and then volunteer at the Green Room

Have had about 3 or so. Raw veggies , no seeds. My bread has seeds. This stuff is different than the go lightly that I’ve had b4. The is new stuff. Sis had colon cancer which is y I should have them more often than most3 -
Tonight I ate some boiled carrots with a tsp of butter and brown sugar. I had a meal for lunch of:
leftover lasagna noodles(2)
1/2 cup sauce,
1/4 cup black olives
4 pieces of canned stewed tomatoes
2 cups of spinach
1/4 cup of cottage cheese.
It was all dusted with a bit of parmesan cheese!
So I figured a light dinner was in order!
I know I need to eat more protein, but I have a small steak marinating in the frig for tomorrow. √
Hugs ladies

Rori,sorry to hear about your hand. You have a great attitude and great patience. You'll weather this bump in the road just as well as you have the others. 2 -
Really tired. Went over to Cozumel and did some snorkeling. We all ran into jelly fish and my body is covered in stings. I am ok, but feeling a little off. It was still fun.
I will have to post snorkeling pics later, but here's the sea. Gotta love the Caribbean.

M in Oz: I’m sure the Christmas decorations will not evaporate while you’re doing things that are more essential than undecorating. You’ve had a very long todo list for a long time.
Way too long!Snowflake1968 wrote: »Machka - love the quote. That is how I used to schedule staff and logistics, I would not enjoy doing it in my personal life too.
I feel like I'm scheduling staff and logistics.
If it were just me and my schedule, it would be pretty easy, but it's both my husband and me.
With his stuff, I have to make sure he can get there in lots of time so he isn't stressed and I need to space things out for him so that he doesn't have stuff every single day. If I need to be there too, I need to schedule it early in the day, late in the day or at lunch.
And then, it's also the people involved in his recovery. One of those people is trying to book him in for some assessments with another person. She would just book things whenever they suited her, so I've insisted she run them past me so that I can approve them.
And some will be ongoing appointments, but I need for him to go to the first appointment so they can determine how many more he might need and how frequently. When that's set up on the calendar, there are 3 or 4 other things I need to slot in somewhere in between.
On the transportation side, we both take the bus and walk most of the time now, so I've got to make sure these things are at a convenient time for the bus, with enough time to walk. So ... definitely no back-to-back appointments some distance away!
Plus I do need to work ....
Fortunately I've got a couple months off uni!!
I'm just glad I've taken project management courses!! I should fire up Microsoft Project and put this all in.

Janetr Matthew is delish.
Rori Ow! Hope your thumbs & fingers heal quickly.
Felicia Like emeralds, the Caribbean!

That picture of baby Aubrey brought me up short! For a brief moment I saw Olivia, and then realized it was Aubrey. Wow. That was an odd experience. So glad Aubrey is doing well! It must be heartbreakingly sweet to hear her little voice crying and cooing...

Margaret--I don't think I'm stressed. Granted, I have the ability to make mountains out of molehills, but I lead a pretty carefree life. I'm just going to blame genetics, since I'm short, and both grandmas carried weight around the middle.
Yvonne--I think I'm a word nerd too. If only my brain wasn't in opposition to my love of reading, writing, and inevitably, correcting grammar. You're lucky to have daffodils popping up in your flower beds. I've planted a few, but don't get many flowers. I'm considering planting a bunch in the center of my back yard, under the grass. They'll come up in the spring, and be gone before I need to start mowing. It would be interesting to see which wins--daffodils or Bermuda grass. Your planned trip to the beach sounds like heaven. I have yet to visit the beach here in Texas, since it's so far away.
Rebecca--your food pictures are beautiful. You could do a recipe book with these images. Everything looks so delicious; I appreciate the good ideas.
Roz--I've had some trouble on the site the last couple days, but not with the forum. (revise that, the forum just updated and I'm a page behind again.) I had to clear my cache two days in a row now. I may need to do it again, since it wasn't responding before I went to choir practice.
Kylia--so good to see that baby in her mother's arms!
Michelle--I admire how you do so many different exercise videos. I've tried to do a couple online, but they move so fast I can't keep up. Either that or they have moves this old body just can't do.
Felicia--Jellyfish stings!?! Who said they could crash your vacation? Sorry to hear you had to deal with that.
Today I got a bit of a walk in. 2.5 miles isn't quite 5k distance, but I could do it. I took a tall kitchen bag with me, and cleaned up the trash along the road and sidewalk-ugh. There must be a lot of irresponsible people living near me. In just that short walk, I filled the bag, and it was heavy carrying it the rest of the way home. broken bottles, used diapers, paper cups, food wrappers, and even a woman's shoe. Now when I ride my bicycle on the route, I won't be as worried about puncturing a tire. I've got a few more routes to clean up around the house. I hope I can get it done before the weather warms up and fire ants infest everything.

So am I, Yvonne, both self-identified and because of my field. But I don't have a word-of-the-day calendar. Or a word of the year, for that matter.Happy National Word Nerd Day!
"Who are word nerds? They are most likely logophiles, which are people that love words. Word nerds love to read, have a dictionary, and use a thesaurus. They may enjoy etymology, which is the study of words and how their meanings have changed throughout history. It's likely that word nerds play word games and have a word of the day calendar or subscription. Word nerds are always correcting grammar or punctuation, whether it is a natural inclination of theirs, people come to them for writing help, or it is part of their job. Editors may be seen as professional word nerds. Anyone who works in a job involving communications, marketing, web production and the like work in word nerd fields as well. Today is dedicated to all of those that are self-identified word nerds, or are word nerds because of the field they work in." (I am most definitely a word nerd!)
Lanette and Margaret - Sometimes, out walking in the spring in woods or pastures in rural Sweden, you come across blooming lilacs. Snoop around nearby and you may find the footprint of an old farmworker's cottage. Living history!Margaret - There was once a little thriving town not far from us with a lumber mill as the main industry. When the mill burned in the 1920's, it was not rebuilt and the slowly houses went away - the fields and forest reclaimed what was originally theirs. We see patches of daffodils along the road and in the fields where those homesteads once stood.

Morning
I've nothing planned today so can concentrate on house work (lucky me ) I'm still trying to declutter, I think I've got the kitchen under control, I try to make that the first job of the day. Still lots of work to do in the dining/computer room though. I have far too much "stuff" but it's hard to get rid of things - well for me it is. As Fly Lady would say "baby steps" but I easily get overwhelmed and do nothing 
Janet Bear and baby great grandson are soooo cute - my niece has a husky cross called bear, I'll have to try and post a photo of him.
Kylia How wonderful for Paige being able to hold her baby.
Felicia Oh no stung by Jellyfish, feel better soon.
Heather your table looks amazing, love the colour of your dining room too. Once I declutter our dining room I want to decorate it, but at the moment it is multi tasking as a laundry room (clothes horse near the radiator) and computer room, plus home for books and DVDs
no wonder it looks cluttered! We do eat there too, but mainly on a Sunday when we have lunch.
Welcome to the new people sorry I forgot to make a note of your names.
I'd better make a start, have a good day ladies.

Morning, afternoon, evening, my chickens,
Rori - Arrrgggh! I cannot STAND trying to type when I have any finger out of commission. I don't know the keyboard by sight, and it's so frustrating. I don't feel your pain (and I'm sorry you have it), but I feel your frustration!
My only day where I'm working at home all day long, and plan to enjoy it. Only one meeting today, but between now and then, I have to figure out an entire federal grant that we need to re-apply for in two weeks, so a busy morning. Off to the races, kids...
Love y'all!
