Wednesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I don't have much going on today but that will change for the rest of the week.  I will do groceries today and workout after work.  Then Thursday and everyday for the rest of the week I have plans of some sort. 

I have to start buying some clothes.  I sort of stopped buying clothes of all kinds for awhile.  I am going to start buying Summer clothes.  Now that I know exactly what I need.  But my Fall/Winter clothes that fit properly have dwindled and I am not buying anything more until next Fall.  Why?  Because last year I bought clothes for Summer towards the end of the season because it was a good deal...well they don't fit!!!  They are all wayyy too big.  So now I have shorts and capris with tags that don't fit me!!!  I guess I didn't have much faith that I was going to lose much weight over the Winter.  I don't see myself losing much more weight...not because I don't have faith but because I am coming to the end of the line...I'm almost done losing weight.  But I'm not making the same mistake and wasting money on clothes I will never wear.   

I did something I never tried before with my apple slices and it was good.  I don't know why I didn't think of it before.  I sprinkled some cinnamon on them.  I was quite tasty.  I have sprinkled a bit of sugar on my grapes and froze them and that's tasty too.  I also heard (but haven't tried it yet) if you put a bit of salt on your watermelon it will taste sweeter...of course don't do that if you have blood pressure issues.  But it's supposed to intensify the sweetness of the fruit???  i will have to try that. 

 Well I have to get going...have a good day...see ya later...bye 

 

Not much planned for me today so I will get busy on a new class from Coursera and the University of Toronto.

My cat got scanned ok though I did have to do it twice and the second time they swaddled me in sheet so everything would stay in the image area.  This operation should solve that and let me run, swim and work out with all of me going in one direction.

Organizing for Action tonight at Mo's on 14.

Happy Hump Day Cuties,

Crystal, we have been eating a ton of fresh pineapple and oranges. I bought a watermelon and we will have that tonight. I buy those little ones. My dad used to put salt on his watermelon and so does my husband. I think its a southern thing. I love cinnamon on my apples.Jewel's fruit and veggies have been looking rather awful lately. It is so hard to get good produce sometimes. I find Aldi has pretty good produce and that's where I tend to shop for my fresh produce. I also like Whole Foods, But dont get there as much.Their prices are a bit high. But for produce I will go there.I try to keep a couple bags of frozen raspberries in the freezer as well from Trader Joes.. 

Today I am not going to be doing much. I feel like poo-poo and will force myself to go for a walk with the dog and I will run a few errands and catch up my reading for my house group tomorrow night. 

I need clothes for our trip to NY in May but I am not going to buy anything until right before we leave. I am hoping to drop another size by then. 

Have a great day dear ones.

Hugs,

Sharon

 

 

 

Sharon- pineapple is one of those fruits I don't like to eat. It to tart. I don't mind it in a smoothie but otherwise I don't enjoy it. I was waiting till June for the melons because I think they taste best in the summer. Cantaloupe is one of my favorite fruits. I can eat and eat those. Grapes and berries love those too. Fruit is actually one area of food I'm not so picky.

The best variety and cheapest clothes are at Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross. I always can fill my cart at those places. Hugs, Sharon

I was going to try goodwill for the capris first. Since I'm tall I have bought petite jeans and folded them over and they look like capris on me. So that is where I'm trying first. Then for tops I like JC Penney. If I need tshirts I always go to Old Navy. They have cute tshirts. Of course for shoes I always have to go to Payless because I wear a size 12. Boo!!!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!

We are halfway through the week!    But it is a full moon so beware.    Strange things may happen out there.  You never know.  Bawahaahaa      Today is work and home.  Just another day in the rat race.  Hopefully the rats wont win. 

Last night we had the cats in super active mode.  They were playing so hard that they had to keep stopping to take a break.  IT was too funny.  Rick has a fishing pole that we rigged up with a squeaky mouse on the end.  Smokey and Gizmo had never seen it before.  They loved it!  Then we got out the laser pointer.  They have played this game many times.  They also love that.  Between the two games they were panting.  It was too funny to watch them get slower and slower and finally plop down to rest.  Such big entertainment!    The things we do to amuse ourselves......

Crystal, I am so happy that you are continuing to lose weight but it has to be frustrating that you have clothes you bought that no longer fit.  Are you able to take any of those back?  I dont know what the stores return policies are like but if the tags are on them they may take them back.  It is worth a shot.   Your plans for the week sound like a lot of fun!  Enjoy!

Randy, I am glad your cat got scanned.  I am sure you are looking forward to your surgery bringing you all kinds of relief.  Sometimes surgery can be for a really good reason.

Sharon, hugs to you.  I hope you feel better soon.  It is no fun when you dont feel good.  We want you back up and running and feeling like your old self again.  You are too much of a sweetie pie to feel bad.

I hope everyone has a great day!  Remember, the days are FINALLY getting warmer! 

 

 

Hello!

I forgot to get on this morning because I slept late. Went knitting with the women and they bought a plate of cookies for everyone in honor of my birthday. Fortunately the Bookworm has low sugar cookies that I can eat. I heard from all three children (unusual for the third one who has distanced himself from the family). Tonight the Wed AM breakfast group is taking me out to dinner (instead of breakfast). Kay bought me a new iPad that has cellular capabilities in addition to wifi. What a treat! We will certainly both use this!

Yesterday I went to the eye doctor in Madison to see if my eyelids could be fixed. They droop into my vision. They had to get to a certain point of interfering so Medicare would cover the procedure. I can't wear contacts anymore because of the eyelids and i find that to be very annoying. I've worn them since age seventeen and just hate my glasses. So I'll be calling Madison to schedule the procedure tomorrow. It will probably be in late summer, but we'll see.

All in all it's been a good birthday so far!

Hope your day went well!
