***Tantalizing Tuesday Roll Call***
Not sure what is so tantalizing, but it sure sounded more interesting than Terrific Tuesday. Greetings from the Jersey shore! Vacation is great, having some fun wow moments that I posted about earlier and am just having an all around fun time with my girls.
Not sure what Tuesday has in store for us, but I'm sure it will involve water and/or sand. I do need to get up early and make breakfast for the entire clan though. In addition to our family and my in-laws / SIL and husband, Erin's aunt and uncle have come to stay at the house here for a few days too, which is wonderful. I absolutely love them and really enjoy having them here. Uncle Lynn is your typical PA Dutchy farmer kind of guy and last year I made him SOS for breakfast (creamed chipped beef for you non-Dutchies). He loved it. So when I heard they were coming, I got the stuff and am making it for breakfast for everyone. It is truly best served over white toast, but last year I put a little over a scrambled egg for me and it was quite nice that way too.
Crabbing is also on the agenda for this week, just not sure what day. It is supposed to clear off dramatically down here, so maybe we will save that for a day when it's not hot and humid.
Have a great one everyone!

Good morning!
Getting ready for bed on the west coast to wake up early for work. 5:30am to go get a test airplane in the air for a few flights.
i will have to workout after work today but I am ready to go back home and back to a normal schedule. Plan on drinking more protein this week and eating less. I have been grazing the last few days.
Have a good day

Morning Eric and Pa....
How lucky to be down at the shore. I was hoping to get there this year, but I am not sure that is going to happen. I may have to plan a day trip or two to get down there.
Today has me working my adjusted camp schedule. After I pick Siehara up from camp, I have an appointment with the NUT at the new surgeon's office. I am going to ask her for protein and calorie goals and hope to get a good meal plan in place that I can stick to.
After that, we will stop home for dinner and then head over to the gym where I will get on a bike or treadmill and then do strength training.
That's really it for me. Nothing exciting except the appt with the NUT.

Good Morning Eric & the Rest of the PA Gang,
I am sooooooo jealous, as I wish I were down at the shore, but alas I don't have the vacation time I did for the past 20 years, so I have to parcel out my time, though my son has a shore home now on Sea Isle City, which I'm hoping to get to one of these days soon. . . anyway, the weather is improving, lower humidity will be welcome, though I must admit that I can honestly say there is a big difference in my ability to handle the heat these days and that too is a welcome relief. . .
I have been very busy since Friday and so no time to visit with you all, weekend was a flurry of activities and then yesterday work was so busy I never even took a lunch hour, just ate while I worked and then to an AA meeting afterwards, from there home exhausted. Up early today and looking forward to a full one, that will end having dinner with some AA friends this evening and celebrating my roommate's sober anniversary.
Such a boring, busy life I lead (lol). . .
Well I want to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful day, enjoy whatever activities you are doing and those with life challenging situations I wish you peace and strength to get through it all.
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning PA! I am up bright and early ready to greet all the kids coming into camp. There are MANY from my synagogue and are first time campers, can't wait to see their shining faces and hug their parents who are no doubt freaking out a little about LEAVING their kids at camp for four weeks. (Been there, done that!) So excited to share this little peice of heaven with them.......
Breakfast is early, 7:15, as the gates to camp open at 8:30. I will be working in the morning with the little people and have to some how get to my kids cabins, well, mostly Emily, to get her unpacked. Not quite sure what this afternoon has in store for me - I am hoping some swimming with my synagogue kids, I have NOT been in the pool once since I have been here......hhhhmmmmpppphh!!!
Tonight will be a quiet one, I am hoping to walk around camp and see what the units are doing. I don't want to get in the way as the first night of camp is always difficult, especially with first time campers and I need to let the counselors do what they do best.
Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone!

Jealous jealous jealous! We used to spend MANY a summer day crabbing off of my uncle's boat. Bring 'em home, steam them up with old bay...yummy yummy! No matter what you do today - have a FANTASTIC time!
Not really sure what is on the agenda today. Probably just bumming around the house a bit and stuff like that. Have to figure out what I'm doing as far as exercise is concerned today....it'll either be going to the gym or maybe, seeing as though the humidity is breaking a bit, I'll take the rollerblades out.
Bri and I are contemplating doing a theme park of some sort tomorrow...Hershey, Great Adventure, one of the two. We'll have to see. If that's the case, it'll be to bed EARLY tonight so we can hit the road bright and early tomorrow as either one is a bit of a hike for us.
That's about it!

Hi all,
Should I tell them that Jersey Shore isn't at the shore? Naaaaah.
Anyway, today promises to be a beautiful day. I am supposed to take care of a little friend of mine today. She is also my exercise "coach". What can I say, if I can't find someone my age to work out with, I can with an 11 year old!
Have a great day all.

Good morning all - and um, excuse me Eric, but weren't you just ON a vacation? In ARUBA?? Geez, how many GOOD vacations can one guy take?? Just jealous, of course - hope you have a fantastic time - weather looks great all around - and being a PA Dutch girl myself I definitely LOVE SOS and I eat it over scrambled eggs now too - I think its just as good and somewhat healthier than white toast! My mother always made it for her grandchildren because they all love it - somehow that task has been passed along to me.
I'm at work - not nearly as much fun as being at the shore - but it pays the bills. Last night I spent a good hour or so wrapping birthday gifts for the big family party we're having Sunday - because my husband's family is SOOOOOOOO large we have one BIG birthday party for everyone in July, and then one BIG Xmas party in December. Since we're expecting #'s 14 and 15 GREAT-grandchildren this summer this is the only way to see everyone and make sure all are included.
Other than that not much on my agenda...work today - tuna melts for dinner tonight. Can you stand the excitement??

Hey Eric and PA! Eric, I didn't take the opportunity to say it before but congrats on the WOW the other day, you deserve it! Have fun at the beach!
Today has me working and trying to get caught up on everything...no fun at all! I do have some good news though, I had my last weigh in yesterday with my PCP. I was sweating that one out cause this month has been difficult for me to keep to any sort of diet. My back was out for like 3 weeks, I was on steroids and I was on vacation to the outer banks (whi*****luded too much food and beer). Anyway, after all of that I was somehow able to lose 3 pounds since last month which makes my total 20 pounds for the six month supervised diet. Not great but I will take it and more importantly I think the insurance company will take it as well. I will wait until tomorrow to call my surgeons office to see if they have received all of my pre-op paperwork. I hope there aren't any hold-ups. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Have a great day everyone!
