Oh that is so cute! I started a simple zigzag scarf that is showing off the colors beautifully so I'm pretty happy with my choice. However, that shrug is so cute I may need some yarn just to make that! So pretty! Thank you for sharing it!

I gave up gluten (Finally!) As for possible effects of dairy....(puts fingers in ears) LALALALLLALALALALA!!!! I'M NOT LISTENING!! One step at a time people!

BECAUSE IT'S MINE!!! ALL MINE!!! Bwaaahhahhhaah!! Sorry. Had a moment. Seriously though, I have four kids and a husband. There isn't much in this world that is "mine all mine" and I just don't want any input at this time. If I ever do, I'll open it. :)

I feel better when I work out. I don't want to kill him as much when I work out because of all those happy endorphins running around. He gets to see me in yoga pants (he likes that part.) I have energy and motivation to do lots of other stuff (biking, fishing, camping, hiking, etc.) I'm only 41 (Monday) for crying out…

Uh, I have four kids and I bake and decorate cakes as a hobby. Have I mentioned that I'm also gluten free so if I eat my own cake (the regular flour ones anyway) I will get sick? Not throwing up sick but just a general "I feel really crappy and achy" kind of sick that is easy to pretend has nothing to do with my diet (only…

I make a frittata and keep it in the fridge so we have a fast, ready to nuke breakfast. I like to keep some boiled eggs around for the same reason. You can also pack a salad in a container or mason jar and either take a separate container of dressing or layer all the veggies on the bottom and lettuce on top. This keeps the…

Since you shop once a month you might consider making up a menu before you do your groceries. I find when I take the time to do this not only do we save money but we also eat a broader variety of food. I'm also more likely to try new recipes because I know I have the ingredients for whatever is on the calendar. I spend a…

I personally can't use them as my system is very sensitive to them. Even chewing gum several days in a row causes me to have anxiety attacks. I don't think it agrees with my nervous system or something. I can do Stevia (try different brands because some are good but some are awful!) I can't do any of the artificial ones.…

I give them quite a bit of time before I delete. When I notice they haven't checked in for awhile I go and leave a message on their wall letting them know they're missed. I will do it again after several weeks or even a month or two but I don't usually delete until at least six months, maybe longer if it's someone I'm…

Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley is my current read. I love books with epic quests along the lines of Lord of the Rings.

My husband signed an anniversary card, "Your Awestruck Husband". Yeah, that did it!
-
Great job! Mine is getting close! I see it peak out now and then but it's a little shy so I just keep petting it. Sometime soon I'll be able to coax it out I hope!

I'm impatient, high strung and a bit of a control freak. I'm working on all those things but there are some areas where I really struggle. I'm a little bit flighty too. I joke that I'm always obsessed with something (I am!) and my husband teases me that I have ADOS (Attention Deficit ....OOOH Shiny!) I'm a "git'er dun"…

Those are super cute!

How it works at my house with kids and husband alike: I cook dinner, you eat it or you don't but I'm not cooking anything else because you're too picky to eat what I made. You get hungry enough you'll eat it. ;)

crisanderson2, those are beautiful!

I have a set of Shun's that I love. Mine are the Ken Onion ergonomic set because my husband got a killer deal and gave them to me for Christmas a couple years ago but I also love their other styles. I do have one classic Santuko with the D handle and it's just as fabulous as the others. LOVE my Shun's!

Tattoos they have to wait until they're over 18 and can pay for it themselves. Hair color I usually encourage temporary color or chalking since they change their minds crazy fast. Piercings the first one I paid for anything after that they pay for and it kind of depends on what and where. I personally don't like gauges or…

My favorite is to bake, broil or somehow cook the fish filet. The magic happens when you dump some mango salsa and chunks of avocado on top of the cooked fish. Oh I could eat it all day long! (Works well on chicken breasts too.)
-
I don't eat any of that stuff but that's because I can't do gluten (so adding it back in isn't going to be a problem either!) It will reduce your calories if you don't replace them with high calorie items. If you cut them and replace them with something of equal or higher calories you may have an issue. If you're sensitive…

One of the most motivating things for me is to put my tape measure around a body part at the size I WAS and see the difference between then and now. Like vitminddd said, if you don't have them you'll regret it.

My chickens lay brown, beige, white, green and blue eggs. It's just dependent on the bird who laid it. There is no nutritional difference in them based on color. If you want to focus on healthier eggs make sure you buy organic, cage free eggs if possible. Chickens who are allowed to roam around and eat bugs and grass will…

Well with as good as you're looking you should just make him take you out often (at least four times anyway!) I think #1 & 2 are dressier and 3-4 are a little less formal. One of the first two might be better for the wedding but all of them would work for a night out. I like them all so I'm really no help! :)
-
Well as long as you're not kicking the little kids off to do them I'd have no problem with it. In fact, I've considered it myself! The only thing that holds me back is that I'd embarrass myself because I suck at pull ups!

My husband is out of town so that was just what I needed. :glasses:
-
We both do. We make it a point to flirt all the time so sometimes I don't even know who's started it. He is very aware that I'm attracted to him and want him and I know he wants me too. It is important in a marriage. We've been together for more than 23 years total and have four kids, lots going on and plenty of stress but…

Never stop flirting. When you have kids just remember, they're passing through and will move out one day. Your spouse will (hopefully) be there for life so don't focus all your attention on your kids. They'll be better off if you have a good, strong marriage and they aren't the center of the universe! (And the rest of the…

I've got a bodymedia and one of the first things my husband wanted to test out was whether he could get the activity graph to spike. The answer is yes. :smokin: (But I didn't record it on MFP).
-
For me it's usually my boobs and means I need a new sports bra. I think it's funny.

If you want to do it without making waves you could just take a piece and say you've just eaten but you'll save it for later. Then toss it. I really don't get pushing food on people. I bake and decorate cake as a hobby and people love my stuff but I never eat it. I throw cake away all the time! I'm not obligated to eat all…
