    Good morning!

    Nice! Thanks for getting the new May thread started @KateNkognito! I got caught up yesterday with laundry, pre-packing and returning more items at Target and Wal-Mart! Sigh...

    Five days of work and then we fly out to the Dominican Republic! I am in the office today since we have a candidate interviewing. Means I will be home Thursday and Friday which is nice. :smiley:

    One week from today - I turn the big 5-0! :o

    Hope you had a lovely weekend. Just had my overnight oats and they were lovely. Been not so good with food choices but I am trying. Got a nice turkey and Swiss on a low carb wrap for lunch.

    Have a good day and see you soon!

    @Meghan509 Hope you have a happy birthday! Sounds like a fun trip!

    It has been a MONDAY here. I've already decided on Chinese food for dinner. I need something warm and comforting. Also, if I don't do laundry tonight, I will be naked or stinky tomorrow.

    I hope everyone has a great week!

    Good morning!

    So far today is much less crazier than yesterday. Yes, it sure was a Monday @KateNkognito!! Sigh... My boss is working remotely today so a little bit quieter at the office.

    Ahh yes, Chinese food saves the day! We are to have it later this week when my honey goes to get his haircut after work. There's a place right next door to our hair salon. Last time I was at the salon, my hairdresser was raving about it. New owners and yummy fresher tasting food. :smiley:

    Just had my over night oats and they were tasty. Same turkey and swiss cheese on a low carb wrap planned for lunch today. Carrots and hummus on the side.

    Hope you have a good day and see you soon!

    Can it be the last day of school, please? Asking for a friend. :D

    @Meghan509 We have a tiny little place that mostly does takeout. Yum! Leftovers for dinner tonight!

    I hope everyone is having a good day! Be healthy!

    Hello!

    Whoa, where the heck did the morning go?! I try and pop in early but not todayyyy!!

    Busy but good here. Lots of people wishing me well for vacation and birthday next week. Feeling the love. In the office today and then home Thursday and Friday. Saturday we are flying. :)

    @KateNkognito got to love those little places! Funny thing is my BF's brother lives in Arizona with his family. Originally from NY. He said that Chinese Food is not a thing there. Who knew?! Seems like Tex Mex is more the thing there. Whenever they come visit they make sure they get their Chinese Take Out fix. :smiley:

    Have a good day and see you soon!!

    Today has been... interesting? A roller coaster? Weird?
    My oldest left for a school trip to Dallas. My mom heart is having a moment. Kids at school are a little nuts because it is raining. I am just a mess in general lately. But hey, it's halfway through the week! Only 3 more weeks to go!

    Today is a lovely rainy day. Also, it's our 21st anniversary. Our marriage is old enough to drink! Going out for a steak tonight. Then early to bed because we are old. :D

    @Meghan509 Enjoy your day at home!

    Good morning!

    Awww, hope your oldest has a great trip to Dallas, @KateNkognito
    Wow, only three more weeks of school - good for you! You totally got this! LOL

    Have a lovely wedding anniversary! Hope you have an amazing steak tonight! YUMMY.

    Thanks! Had a quick Zoom appointment with my rheumatologist / arthritis doctor, because yeah 50 is right around the corner and my right wrist has been killing me! Sigh... Going to run out and buy some Voltaren arthritis gel to apply to my wrist. Hoping this works. Stinks getting old I tell you.

    Two more work from home days and then vacation!!

    Have a good day all. See you soon!

    Good morning!

    Last day of work before vacation!!! Is it quitin' time yet?! :p

    Work was a little busy yesterday but I think today should be okay. Home stretch.

    I will check in on and off while I am away. I am also trying to keep my check in streak alive, don't cha know?! Maybe if I can get MFP to cooperate I can share some pics with you!

    Hope your anniversary was good, @KateNkognito and hope you and your family and doggie are well, @mamainthekitchen sending farewell hugs before I fly out tomorrow to beautiful Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. <3

    Have a good Friday and good weekend and see you soon!
