Good morning, everybody!
The chili came out really good, but I kind of messed up when I was scooping mine out. I think that most of the meat had settled to the bottom of the slow cooker and I didn't stir it before I took my portion. So, I got a lot of beans and vegetables yesterday. I guess today's lunch will be the opposite. I certainly wouldn't have been able to have a second portion just to get proportions correct.
Swimming was crowded today. Usually, if I am not done with my whole workout by 7:00, I just stay extra and fini**** but today there were reserved lane swimmers all across the pool at 7:00. I ended up having to leave after 1320 of the 1520 meter workout. Not a big deal, but I do like to finish.
Tonight is Heart. We will leave Chicago at about 4:00 and grab dinner before the show. I am thinking of going to this German place called Mader's. I guess it has been in downtown Milwaukee for 120 years. No doubt that Laverne & Shirley went there after shift. Cheap Trick is warming up. It seems like they warm up for everybody now.
QOTD: Yes, I still use a paper planner to write out my appointments and to do's for the day, week, etc. And always a different color Uniball Pen each year. I think that after I retire, I will stick with the same system. Just the appointments will be different.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: Chili
Dinner: TBD
Have a great day, All!

Morning all we have halfway through the week again. Our VP of the company and two HR people are here today bright and early. Not 100% sure why, but I know it has nothing to do with me so I'll just sit back and listen to what goes on in the conference room. There is a goodbye luncheon for a co-worker who is leaving to become a CT correctional officer. Kind of a bummer because he is one of the good employees who is a hard worker.
Got some more stuff sorted through in the office last night and I found the dump trailer registration renewal that was due last February apparently dum dum me put it in there and then totally forgot about it. Now to find out what I have to do to get it reregistered. This is why I make a list of things to do because I just can't remember everything.
QOTD: Do you make a list of things that you need to do or work on? I try to write stuff down that I know I have to do or get done. If I don't well then, they usually don't get done which gets frustrating.
B: coffee and 2 egg omelet
L: Jersey Mike's tuna bowl
D: grilled teriyaki chicken
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone!!!

Is there a TNR in your area? They loan you a trap and do neutering for a low fee. The one here also sells brand name flea medicines for a low price. It is so sad that people dump cats like that.

QOTD- Chocolate and pb cups, or rocky road. I bought a small one of the choc pb and ate too much. It was bad. Lesson learned hopefully.
There is this pretty grey tabby that has been hanging around, he's an intact male and sprays. He sits on the other side of the sliding glass door and looks in the house. I feel bad for him, he doesn't let me get close to him, so he's probably been abandoned. I was going to check with my vet to see if anyone is missing him. I got pictures of him. He knows what a cat door is since he went in my neighbors house, he was looking for food. I'm not going to feed him, or he won't go away. Any ideas? I was going to see if I could borrow a live trap, but I don't know where I would take him if I caught him. There is also a black and white male that is coming around too. I think someone dumped them.
It's supposed to get up to 77 today, it's that time between heating and A/C. Heat in the morning and A/C in the afternoon.
I've gotta get back to work.
Have a great day everyone!

Ice cream is not something I can eat anymore. I used to love Breyers Strawberries and Cream. If my husband and son were out of town I would buy a box of that and eat it all weekend. It was really creamy and had wonderful strawberries. That was 30 or 40 years ago and nothing like that anymore. I do have a half gallon of Breyers Lactose Free Vanilla in the freezer. It is the only thing I can eat and only a small di**** gets rock hard so I have a scoop that is chemically treated and gets warm in your hand. Then it is easy to scoop some out.
Still pretty cold, but will be 69 on Saturday. I can see all the green buds on the trees and the sun is shining today. So nice to know spring is coming back.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuer's,
It was cool this morning on Rudy's walk but supposed to get in the 50's today. The neighbors asked us to go to dinner last night and we did an authentic Mediterranean place. Ron is never up for that type of food, but I love it. If it was me asking, he never would have gone. He had the beef Shawarma and liked it, but he liked my Kafta more. I may be able to get him to go back sometime. Did I say i hit a curb and scratched my wheel on my new car. I am so not happy, and it is going to cost me $200 to get it fixed.
QOTD: Sarris candies is less than a mile from my home. If I have guest in town, I always take them there. I really cannot eat ice cream anymore but when I could I'd get Rum Raisin with Milk Chocolate hard cap.
Accountability: I overate a dinner
TSS: 7 years 3-months 14-days 168.6 Lowest (129.4)

Hey Jim,
Have fun traversing the Cheddar curtain and enjoy Heart! I'm not sure if you have extra time in Mil-a-walk-A but I love the art museum. If you decide to go, I believe I have guest passes from being a member. You are welcome to them; just shoot me a text.

Good morning, everybody!
I slept for almost 9 hours last night. I guess the race is catching up to me a bit. My legs are a bit sore today, but nothing too bad. One of our sons asked for chili, so Marilyn is making a bunch in the slow cooker. That should keep us fed for a couple of days.
Tomorrow, we are heading up to Milwaukee to see Heart. I've never seen them play before, so I'm pretty excited. We were planning to see them last summer in Toronto, but they cancelled because Ann Wilson was undergoing chemotherapy. The concert is at 8:00 and Milwaukee is almost a 2 hour drive, so it will be a long evening. We will probably head up at about 4:00 and have dinner before the show.
QOTD: I will dump pretty fast on Ice Cream, so I need to approach it with caution. I'm with Kelly on the Mint Chip train though. Sometimes we eat those fake ice cream cones, Drumsticks, with chocolate chips that they sell in the freezer. The kind that don't melt. I can eat those without dumping. Probably because they aren't real.
Breakfast: Yogurt Parfait
Lunch: Bratwurst
Dinner: chili
Have a great day, all!
