Good Morning Margo and everyone!
Glad you are coming home to the Wolverine State. It must be
hard being a Buckeye (eeeew...) Where are you moving to?
Will be starting the black, decaf real soon.
QOTD-no, never had anything with my coffee, so never craved anything. Do like "dunking" cookies like chocolate covered grahams or biscotti.
Have a good Monday

Good Morning Michiganders and Margo

Welcome to the winter wonderland.
I was a transplant to OH a few times because of my job. I lived in Cincinattie for about a year in the 80's and then in 2007 I was transfered to Walton Hills, a suburb of Cleaveland. Have you always been an Ohioian? I am sure you will like it here in MI. What city will you be moving too?

having some Cammamile tea this morning with lemon flavored splenda. Then later I will tackle some WC oatmeal with banana.
What's in your cup.

QOTD: Not ususally too busy trying to choke down these horse size gross tasting chewable vitamins. (I am going back to the regular kind you just swallow after these are gone)

Happy Monday, be safe.

and Welcome to the mitten now you can show everyone where you live with the palm of your hand. LOL
OH I am I am a Michigan man. Ask me where I am from and I'll show you my hand. I am I am a Michigan man.

Hey Margo.  Welcome on board, the Michigan board that is...
Having coffe with a scoop of vanilla protein in it.  After I eat a south beach protein bar I always want coffee.  Just seems to go together.  I try really hard not to drink with my food anymore tho.  I know it's one of the rules that is broken all of the time tho, like drinking pop, drinking alcohol of some kind, eating sugar.  Unfortunately I seem to be one of those people that can eat the same  things as before surgery, without an actual dumping episode.  The only time I throw up is if I eat too fast or don't chew enough, other than that I'm just fine.
Still waiting for Joshua...apparently he doesn't want to come out in the cold!
Jan

It is what it is.
If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it...

Joshua is waiting for the day with the worst weather possible. Because that is how they decided to arrive. It just always seems to work that way.

also watch for the newl moon. My old indian hubbys granddad predicted both of my kids births by the new moon. When the moon is new that is when Joshua will come out.

We should get a pool going on when he will show his little self.

Anybody in.

Jan,
Is the baby being born in Warren by any chance?
I will be in that neck of the woods on the 16th, so I'll pick that date, too.  Put $5.00 on my square to guess the date LOL

It is what it is.
If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it...
