@trooworld – I really enjoy bulgur, too. Glad you’re liking most of your advent stuff…it’s definitely hit-or-miss with advents! I finally got signed up on Kik and sent you a message. Glad you’re done with that year long class. Hugs. It can be so disheartening seeing photos of ourselves. Just remember that it’s not forever. And your neighbor is an absolute jerk. I had a coworker stare as he walked past me leaving work one day when I was using the knee scooter. That thing was heavy and it was obvious that I was struggling to hoist it into the back of my Escape while balancing on one foot. Some people. Glad you got your hair products!

@Katmary71 – I’m so sorry you’re in so much pain. Does the surgeon think an upper back surgery would help? LOLs on forgetting to add your food to the air fryer. I used to use a coffee pot to heat up my tea water (no one was allowed to put coffee in it). One Sunday morning, years ago when the kids were all little, I was trying to get them all ready and went to get my tea water and it wasn’t warm at all. I got so frustrated and was about to throw the coffee maker away but I realized at the last minute that I never poured the water into the top. I had filled up the pot, but then just set it in the machine. UGH! I’m right there beside you on the hamster wheel

Tomorrow is Christmas at Nana’s and I will get to see my little Sophie-Bear (yay). I want to spend as much time as possible holding and playing with her, so I plan on doing as much cooking as possible this evening. All presents are wrapped, so no worries there. I sent out Christmas cards 2 days ago, so that is done. Tonight I’ll be focusing on making mashed taters out of a 10# bag of Idahos and pre-cooking the ham for the non-vegans. Hunter is in charge of the green bean casserole. She is the queen…even makes her own vegan cream of mushroom soup for it! I’ll have to share a picture if I remember. Tomorrow at my mom’s, I should only have to pop the vegan roasts into the oven (they come with stuffing) and heat up the taters and gravy. Buying pre-baked pies, too. Trying to make it as stress-free as possible as cooking is NOT something I enjoy. Pretty sure my DIL is getting matchy-matchy outfits for Sophie & Byron, so y’all will be seeing a picture of those cuties, too

Today I had my banana for breakfast, about to have my chili for lunch, and brought a steamable bag of asparagus and an apple for my afternoon break. I have not figured out dinner yet, but I do have a block of tofu that is almost at the end of its life. I need to bake that up. We shall see. In the meantime, don’t forget to stay hydrated!

Hey everyone - just wondering if anyone here is avoiding bread products. Since my c diff I’ve had a suspicion that I can no longer handle it.

If you’re celiac or gluten sensitive I would be really interested to chat! Let me know and we can connect through messages if that’s ok with you.

I've been G. F for years. I can chat with you. What did you mean by c diff?

@vegan4lyfe2012 I like bulgur but it was actually a bag of buckwheat I got at the international store. I thought it was bulgur but no. I'm glad we got connected on Kik. That's a good point about it not being forever. I know, right? He just stood there lol. Your coworker sounds like a jerk, too! I hope you enjoy Christmas with Sophie-Bear! I Love mashed taters and ham. Wow, that green bean casserole sounds really special! Sounds like you are putting in a lot of work ahead of time but that's a good idea. Thanks for the reminder to stay hydrated, I need to GET hydrated before I stay it lol: I have been drinking about 20 oz of water a day which is ridiculous!

@Katmary71 I am! LOL I have been using that Burghese mask since the late 80s off and on. I think I got it at a department store when I first got it. You know, I got buckwheat not bulgur, but I do have bulgur, too! LOL I got confused. I had a coffee incident this morning: I poured water in the coffee maker not realizing my husband had already put water in it. Water went everywhere lol. Sounds like you had an exhausting day yesterday.

Hi all. I have a busy day today: grocery shopping, dog training, and then the best part: I am going to a friend's house to hang out. She lives about 45 mins away from me and we are going to visit her neighbor's horses and then go to a winery that is closing so maybe I'll get a good deal. Have a great Saturday!

@trooworld I made a Kik account. I wasn't sure how to do it. On the chat receiving what did you put? I put always but doesn't that open it up to sketchy stuff?

HI TEAM!!! We have some team news, I'm going to Co-Captain with @trooworld so we'll need a new team motivator to cheer everyone on. It's not much different from commenting plus it's great to help stay on track as you check in every day and are less likely to fall off the wagon. I'm looking forward to seeing who steps forward! Chris and I have been discussing ideas for the team next year and we'd love a third person to brainstorm with so think about it and feel free to ask us any questions. I need @Jugar to accept my FR so I can send her a message then we should be good and @broncobuddee can step down though I really hope he'll hang out here as a member when that happens.
