Tuesday ~ Honey Vanilla Greek Yogurt and Two-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice ~ (not pictured) Healthy Pineapple Crisp ~ Roasted Turkey Breast, White Sweet Potato, Green Beans and Cranberry Apple Ginger Chutney ~ Caramel Rice Cakes with Almond Butter, SF Caramel Sauce and Dark Chocolate Chips Busy day decluttering and yard work so I hit the carbs hard. Craving sweets and more sweets so my after dinner snack ended up being more calories than my dinner. @LindieMaeP The pictures at Queen Elizabeth park are gorgeous.
@jeanhickokhaley1 Yes, you have been posting your Exercise-LTGL... I never look at who posts exercise, just weights. I actually was referring to not seeing you in the chat, but I see you have now joined in.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. I have to work both my jobs today and I know I am going to be so tired. I am sure. I also work both jobs tomorrow night. We will see how things are going to see if I am able to actually go into work. I am not really feeling like working today. I will do it though.

@tjharleygal55 - We still have a lot of snow as well.
@ginnaboots - I am looking forward to the snow starting to melt
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It i going to be I am sure. I got offered a job through AAA so that is awesome. I am waiting for my background check to come through. If all goes well I will be starting April 5th.
@LindieMaeP - I did plan on it being a good day and it was. I will hopefully be starting a new job as of April 5th. I am excited.

Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day.

Tabatha

@Tabatha_Cain: Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well with the AAA job. That sounds exciting.

@Catwmncat: I love your wicked sense of humor. Good thing I don't have an ex😂

@Dianedoesmiles1: Don't blow away with the nor'easter.

This morning I finally got up at a decent hour and am enjoying some idle time. The bluebird box has been waiting for its new family. I think we have an interested couple.

Good morning everyone, I sure hope all are well during the nasty weather some are getting. We have sun today and I know I am going to get out for a walk but later this afternoon maybe before dinner. My grandfather always went for a walk after dinner - you could always tell what time it was and I used to go with him from time to time. We never talked just walked ...
@ginnaboots oh I would love to see the light houses - I have never actually been in one, can you imagine living in one? Na I want a tree house - and definetely need willow trees and butterfly bushes and milkweed to attract the butterflies! There are times I just walk too and enjoy the area. This morning doing laundry I caught a plane landing ! Must be our plane for next week, getting ready to load us, er board us LOL
@Dianedoessmiles1 really good you did not blow away with the wind, you know I was never a fan of marry poppins what ever and dont' want you to turn into a mary poppins what ever LOL Keep safe, keep healthy! Busy busy M Season for sure !!
@jeanhickokhaley1 wow that picture is gorgeous and so peaceful !! Thanks for posting!
@NovemberGail awesome you get bluebirds!! hope they stick around and that pear tree, stunning !! Thank you!
@Tabatha_Cain - woohoooo I sure hope you move onto AAA and it is a good fit for you and for AAA - may you have the energy needed for both jobs tonight !!
@Catwmncat I never thought of putting chocolate chips with the almond butter on my popcorn cakes, guess what I am adding, gonna go get the ghiradelli ones for that, they are awesome ... besides, the Thomas Haas ones are almost all gone !! LOL Keep posting your foods, I get good ideas and then I share - my sister was told to do a 15 hour intermitten fasting to loose weight - you know she not happy, but maybe i can give her some tips to help her, when she asks, so far nope...
@everyone have a wonderful day today, it's humpday, half way to the weekend, we can just slide on down to Friday and look forward to a fantastic weekend!

Good afternoon, Everyone! First off, want to thank all who posted the beautiful flower pics! @LindieMaeP @NovemberGail @jeanhickokhaley1 (Sorry if I missed anyone) I love flowers so much! (We live in the northern part of WI, called The Northwoods. We’re almost at the border of WI and the Upper Peninsula of MI.) Hubby and I tried to plant flowers & bushes the first 2 summers we had our place up here and the deer ate everything! Dh tried it all to prevent it. He then went to the garden center to see what they would suggest. After asking what kinds of plants/flowers won’t the deer eat, she told him “plastic”. 😂

I love the snow as long as I can go out and do things in it. Walking outdoors has been hard this winter, mainly b/c we’ve had too much ice to deal with. I have an aversion to falling down. 😉 Anyway, with all of the snow we have had this month, we decided to go out on our snowmobiles yesterday. The temps were perfect! It was warm enough to be really comfortable, but not too warm to melt the snow yet. Also, there weren’t very many people who were out, so it was almost virgin snow. I’ve never had such a beautiful ride! Posted a pic below.

@ginnaboots I love lighthouses. They are so majestic. Catching it at sunset makes the scene so breathtaking.
@NovemberGail We use to have bluebirds before we moved. I do miss them, but can’t complain too much. Here we have bald eagles all around. We actually have 3 nesting pairs on our lake alone.
@Tabatha_Cain What area do you live in? Also, good luck on getting the job with AAA.
@Catwmncat Really glad you’re a WL. (Wacky leader) 😂
@Dianedoessmiles1 You can have our snow in about 2 weeks. I’m sure I’ll be ready to get rid of some of it. 😉
@LindieMaeP You are right about eventually getting tired of the snow. I might complain a bit, for sure by April, but I miss it just the same. Got to have my four seasons. Btw, I absolutely love tree houses, too! Been trying to talk dh into building one somewhere…anywhere on our property, but still hasn’t happened. Have you ever heard of Tree House Point near Seattle, WA? It is kind of like a B&B, but you stay in tree houses! It is the coolest place! We were able to stay there about 8 yrs ago. There was a show called Tree House Masters years ago and the guy who led the builds owns this place. If you like treehouses, you’ve got to check it out!

Good afternoon, happy mid week. I have been pushing myself a little more each day to get stronger and improve balance and walking. Yesterday shopping (pushing a grocery cart), and doing a few things around the house got in 4,615 steps. The most I have done in months. Today cleaned the kitchen and cleaned the stainless steel appliances, so go in some squats. I am a little stiff right now but relaxing. But I am feeling more confident that I can get back to my old self. My fitness pals are a great inspiration, thank you all. By the way what is the start date for regular challenge. Thanks. Hugs and blessings, all.

Thank you for the invite, Ceri! I had family visiting and didn’t see it until now. Glad to be here. I really need it.

Today was more physically active and that always makes me feel better.

@tjharleygal55: All I can think to say of your photos -- COOL!!!

@Tabatha_Cain: When I see your posts, the song, "Here Comes the Bride" flashes through my brain.

@LindieMaeP: Seeing your cat going down the slide, the next song that entered my head was "Slip Sliding Away."

@Dianedoessmiles1: Your song: "Whose walking down the streets of the city, smiling at everybody she meets . . . and Windy has stormy eyes . . ." I think the song is Windy🙈

@ginnaboots: If the frost doesn't damage the buds, we can start finding pears around August. Our neighbor's tree is a different type of pear, and that probably won't ripen until September or later.

Tomorrow's word is TRUST.

@NovemberGail our trees only have buds. That tree is so full of blooms.

@Dianedoessmiles1yes, the orange are Poppies. I have never been to Maines, but would love to someday. Beautiful state.

Bluebirds are my favorite! They are joyful to see.
We have snow on the ground, but today is above freezing and that will seem tropical. Our birds include many chickadees and woodpeckers, but our favorites lately are a pair of grouse we see every day.

Not much to report - weight maintaining, gorgeous weather, happy and busy! What more could a girl want or need?

Thursday's Eats ~ Celebrated hubs 75th birthday with DIL and her mother, who we have not seen in 1 1/2 years, at one of our favorite restaurants. Yesterday I pre-planned to have HALF an order of Chicken & Waffles with Brandy Sauce and Sweet Potato Fries. Asked the server to box half to go before bringing to the table. Also planned for a Beignet and Coffee. Didn't realize the server only boxed half the Chicken & Waffles and served the full order of Fries. Too late, I ate them all as I thought it was only half an order. No biggie, bumped up the protein for dinner with a Roasted Turkey and Cranberry Apple Ginger Chutney Sammie on Dave's Good Seed Thin Bread.

@Tabatha_Cain Sorry you are having pre-wedding nightmares. It is quite understandable with all the stress and anxiety you have endured over the last couple months. Maybe you can tell your boss that your doctor wants some additional blood tests done and can just come in late, take off an hour or two or leave early one day to have them done. You can always call in sick or leave early for being sick as well.
@lavalily I prefer standard time but don't ever remember a time without it as it went into place when before I was 6yrs old.
@Kurtize So nice that they were still able to visit and come and go between storms. We blink and the little ones are all grown up so enjoy every single minute you can with them.
@Everyone Have a Great Night... It's almost Caturday Eve!
