Monday Morning . . What's in your cup?
Good Monday Morning!
What's in your mug this Monday morning? I started out with a cup of joe with raspberry sf syrup and a scoop of protein . . I have never been much of a coffee drinker but lately it just sounds so good.
My son went off this morning for his first day of work . . it was like he was going to his first day of school . new lunch box and all.
QOTD - How about Rants or Raves on this back to work Monday
I only have Raves today . . Kevin is at work . . Hanna at daycare and my daughter Jessica is on her way home from a week in Bermuda . . the new guy is wonderful . . all is right in my world today . .
Enjoy,
Kristy

I'm still on the "special" liquid diet so nothing exciting on my menu today. I'll probably have the vanilla shake because it's one of the worst ones and I want to get those used up but right now I'm just trying to get my morning fluids and vitamins down (I'm 13 days post-op).
No work today......I don't start back to wor****il Friday (after my 2 week post-op check). Although I'm SO grateful for that it does mean that today I need to spend finishing this watercolor for ArtPrize. Gawd I HATE doing watercolors, but it is my most successful medium so I try to finish one a year. The one I'm working on right now I have about 90 hours in to it and it's going to probably take about 40 more to complete because it's a really complicated piece. However, I'm running out of time to fini****ArtPrize starts in 45 days. YIKES!

Good morning. Sounds like a great day for you Kristy!
I have my usual SB Breakfast Blend in my cup. We are in Sawyer, MI at the hotel (we brought a coffee maker and coffee with us), getting ready to head to the beach. The rain came early and the sun is out, so we are just chilling for the moment. Dub and I are sharing some yogurt and blueberries. Dub's dancing with grandma to Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes, right at the moment.
QOTD: My only rant would be the rain this AM, but it's cleared out pretty quickly and we are going to Lake Michigan, shortly. My RAVES are my hubby being on vacation; my inlaws for paying for our little trip to Warren Dunes for hubby's 40th birthday; DUB! He's always a rave.
I agree with Kristy...all is right in my world, too!
Enjoy your day!! Tina

Good morning Kristy
I had a protein chai tea on the drive in to work this morning... then a cup of coffee when I arrived. Now I'm having some oatmeal. I had good intentions of getting up early this morning (really trying to get up at 6am to do a workout and relax a bit before rushing out the door to work) -- but I was too tired and didn't crawl out of bed until the last minute. I hate when that happens.
QOTD --
RAVE --- I got to spend some good quality time with Grandma this weekend while my parents were on vacation. I love her to death and I'm lucky to have this time with her. We baked zucchini bread, went for a long walk in the neighborhood (long for her, not me) and I gave her a manicure.
RANT --- Because I spent so much time with Grandma this weekend I didn't get much done at my own house. I've got laundry to deal with and a bunch of housework to tackle. Plus I didn't cook my lunches for the week like normal, so I'll grab a salad from McDonalds today instead. I'll make up for the house chores during the week... but I also tend to get grumpy when I don't have enough "Pam Time" and I can already feel that coming on (trying to squa****).
Have a good day all!

Morning all,
Had my shake now I'm on to Pita chips.
That leads me to Q: Rant.....My stomach has been VERY upset lately. Full of acid. I'm taking 2 prevacid's a day, followed by TUMS and snacking on yogurt and things like pita chips, pretzels all day to calm it down, it does not like to be empty. I'm seeing my gastro tomorrow. I hope he has a magic wand for me hahahahaha.
Rave: Just about everything else, life is good!
Have a great day all,
Edie

I had regular black tea with some Splenda to start the day, then a Fuzzy Navel protein drink. Also some yogurt with fresh blueberries. I guess I need to start thinking about lunch...
QOTD:
Rants: The killer gas that afflicted me last night. Or I should say, afflicted my poor husband. I took 4 Gas-X strips and that seemed to help. But really, that gas is awful!
Raves: Spent the day at the beach on Saturday, lots of fun, beautiful weather. Sunday, we just lazed around, reading the paper, sitting on the porch - my favorite way to spend a summer day.

Ooooh, forgot my rave (though to be fair I didn't have it until now).
I spent the morning cleaning out the cubby-hole in my barn where I store my two pony carts. I de-cobwebbed it, swept, cleaned out the roll-outs (we have roll out nest boxes that open up to that cubby hole), washed both my carts (in the rain) and then blew-out my entire barn aisle.
So, that means the only thing I have left to do on the north side of my barn is clean up my tack/milk room (mostly cobwebs and some dusting), and finish building the divider in the dog room because the chicken room is done and the feed room is cleaned and organized. Wooo hooo.
I LOVE a clean barn!

Long time no chat.
Started the day with vanilla protein coffee and a bowl of oatmeal.
Been pretty busy lately got a lot accomplished and a job at two Joanne stores teaching cake decorating. while teaching I was approached by an older lady who asked if I did cakes on the side. Well I will be making her granddaughter wedding cake for the 20Th of the month.
Rave. I have bee really busy but still found time for my friends. too.
Rant: I think it is time to Plan a new OH.MI forum Meet n Greet.
If anyone is interested Cheryl, Sandi C, Boxer Mom, and I will be meeting up at the Detroit Zoo Thursday, August 13, 2010 at around 9 am. till when ever. Bring the kids and have some fun.

Kristy - what kind of protein do you put in your coffee? I have always used chocolate, but I've run out. I have unflavored and need to use up some of that before I allow myself to buy more. .
