Saturday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I stayed up late last night so I slept in.  I am feeling so sluggish and sleepy. 

Well yesterday was more of the auditors...ugh!!  I have paper cuts all over my hands now.  There is one right on the tip of my finger that is particularly bothersome.  I would yell "ouch...son of a *****"...and everyone knew I hurt myself again!!!!  My hands are so dried out from handling all that paper all day.  And putting on lotion burns because of the paper cuts...woe is me.  My cuticles are a mess because I have this nasty habit of picking at them...some people bite their nails, I pick my cuticles till they bleed...and when my skin is dry my cuticles get worse.  So right now my hands look terrible...they are dry, with paper cuts, and cuticles with scabs...yuck!!! Ahhhh..the paper cut...the injury of choice in the accounting department...hahaha.  Especially me...I think I just try to move to quickly and end up hurting myself in some way.  I have to SLOW down. 

Well I really just have some house cleaning and laundry to do today.  Working out today and I might run out to the store but that's it for me.  Tomorrow I am going out with Brenda so I am doing laundry today. 

So what are you guys doing today???

Well I am going to continue laying around for a bit longer than get off my lazy butt and start my day.  Enjoy your Saturday everyone....bye

Good morning!

A bright sunshiny day greeted us this morning! Even if it's cold, it's cheery outside.

We are going to knit with friends and then visit a friend who had her hip replaced. We've been so lucky that with all the weight we have both carried all our lives that our knees, hips and spines have held up marvelously. So grateful! Thanks to good genetics, not anything we can take credit for.

Crystal, I posted a response last night about food which might make you laugh.

Dawn, I miss talking to you. Maybe we could get together.

Everyone else, I enjoy reading your ups and downs here and on FB. Hope today is full of ups for everyone!

Connie-  I read your response.  I always envied people who could eat anything.  I think people think I choose to be this way or I am just trying to be difficult.  I really don't choose to dislike veggies for instance.  I really want to like them.  I have forced myself to try them and ended up gagging.  The problem is if I don't like the taste of something I start gagging and if I swallow it I will throw up.  I will not like something because it feels weird in my mouth...like oatmeal or rice or mushrooms...yuck.  Or if it smells bad like broccoli or Chinese food or sea food...yuck.  Or I have weird things like I hate tomatoes but I love salsa and marinara (but it can't have big chunks).   I am an adult that will sit there and pick stuff out of her food...and I have no shame about it.  

My dear sweet Puerto Rican family knows I am picky and I don't like about 95% of Puerto Rican food.  Do you know they will make a special dish just for me.  How sweet are they.

Some of my foods rules-  I don't like my food to touch ever!!!  My family knows this and accommodates me.

When I eat a sandwich or toast (which I don't that much anymore) I always take the crust off.  I don't like the crust.

Before surgery I used to eat my food in alphabetical order...so beef, corn then potatoes...now of course I have to eat protein first...this was hard for me to change!!!  My mom used to spank me for doing this (it really bothered her) and I would do again and again anyway...knowing I would get punished!!!

I eat my pizza weird.  I eat the sausage first then the cheese, then the crust.  I think it's fine but people always make a big deal about it.  I also only like the middle of the pizza...no edges.

Then there are other things like I only drink cold stuff and there has to be ice in it (I don't like hot drinks).  Once the ice melts I will dump it and get a fresh drink with more ice.

I only eat bacon for breakfast...with eggs...never on a burger or anything else!!!

I like my food plain...no gravy, no catsup, no garnish, no mayo, no sauce...PLAIN.  I have been known to scrape off everything just to eat things plain.  I prefer plain flavors...like plain cream cheese. 

I only like certain brands of foods.  Like Land'O Lakes Butter 

Oh man I could go on and on...my daughter says I could write a book...because she says I come up with rules she never knew I had and she will say "that's a new one" and I will tell it's not and she will say I was keeping it a secret.  But you know I am who I am and I never hide the fact I am a picky eater.  if I don't like something I say it.  Oh well. 

Good Morning,

I have been busy baking and cooking this morning.I have beef and noodles on the stove, brownies just out of the oven, and a strawberry pie in the frig. Monica, Scott and Morgan are coming for supper tonight.

No other plans for the weekend. I might try to finish my taxes.

Had lunch with friends yesterday, then did my running.

Hugs,

LISA
