WATCHA EATING TODAY VSGers? 22 Feb 2019

Rain rain rain -- we have a veritable ditch forming across our front yard down to the street, and our yard (everyone's yard) is like walking on a soggy sponge! But we don't have to shovel!

QOTD: Is there one teacher in your life (by profession or avocation) that really made an impact in how you saw yourself and the world? I'll answer in the comments.

B: Protein shake with coffee

L: We are going out for fish - so fish & maybe some coleslaw

D: Salad w chicken

S: Chobani yogurt

Last night after the meeting was a food disaster -- I was relatively wound up from socializing (introvert stay at home lady here) and I literally bolted my food. And toad froth! You would think I would learn after 17 months with the sleeve.

Hope y'all are warm, dry and looking forward to your weekend.

QOTD: Is there one teacher in your life (by profession or avocation) that really made an impact in how you saw yourself and the world? Mr. Morris, my advanced science teacher grades 7-12. Back in the day girls were not encouraged in science, and I was a science nerd from early on. First microscope at 6. He saw my interest and abilities, and supported me through advanced sciences, including me in summer programs that normally only boys did, like going to Berkeley and the nuclear labs for summer work. He was totally awesome. I set off for college as a pre-med student, only to be surprisingly and dreadfully "hazed" by the advisor and professors. "Women are emotionally and hormonally unsuitable for medicene."

Thank goodness for Mr. Morris, but shame on the advisors and professors that said that to you. I am sorry Annie. It is very cool that you got to go to Berkeley for the summer programs!

Good morning, Annie, and all! It is a beautiful day here - warm (37) and the sun is shining. Honestly, I felt like I could go without a coat - talk about adaptation!

QOTD: My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Wilson. I adored her. She taught me more about grammar and the English language than any other teacher straight through high school.

B: steel cut oats

L: Going out ...maybe salad with the chicken

D: probably nothing formal after lunch... either leftovers or some sort of snack

E: hit over 10K in steps yesterday and will walk again today since it's so nice out

We need more Mrs. Wilson's in this world!:-)

Another cold wet day in Texas, but I have 4 appointments today so I am up & at em. Per our QOTD last week I am pulling the trigger with a new hair cut today. It is SO thin on the top and it just makes me wanna cry.

QOTD: I grew up with an older brother (who was really smart) and never thought of myself as smart, then I had a 10th grade english teacher who changed everything for me. Our class was small & we only had 2 girls, day one Ms. Simmons said "ladies, we gotta show em who's boss." She made me see myself as smart & capable of giving my best, I became ultra competitive with my grades & I gained a level of confidence I had NEVER possessed!

B: Bacon & scrambled egg

L: probably turkey & cheese roll up

D: taco salad (DH & son ate out last night so I did leftovers & pushed TS to tonight)

S: Outshine Mango Popsicle

I will try & share a before & after hair picture if I can get one to upload. Y'all send good vibes, haircuts FREAK me out!

Your hair is going to look great!

So left before right after. Honestly I don't like it, I am going back tomorrow to have her shorten it to chin length. It looks even thinner and stringier.

Chin length might give it more body, I wonder if a few layers on top would help? I'm sorry you don't like it, hopefully you will feel better about it tomorrow, I think you look great in both pictures, let us know how it turns out.

I think you are right - she sort of thinned out the ends at the bottom. The top looks fabulous, though, and I think it looks thicker, unless she had a boat load of products to do that which you don't have at home.

I think chin length, and maybe a bit of featheryness around your face? Kudos for going back! I usually just whine at home and never let the stylist do it again.
