What's on your menu, Thursday?

You show 'em what you got girl!!! 

Don't be bummed about the promotion...you still got a pay increase. And, you will show them what you got!!

Sorry you didn't get the promotion, but looks like there is still a chance.  

Miss you AV leading the troops :) although Mamata2 is doing a great job. :) Saw this and immediately thought of you as you frequently put them on your menu... I personally have never eaten a pork rind in my life, but never knew these existed...
Microwave pork rinds

Tell me what you think....

OMG, I need these.  NEED.  I'm ordering right now.  LOL

Congratulations on hitting goal!!!  I know you have to be dancing on air!  

If I could give younger Lourie advice, I would tell her to have more children. I only have one and love him to death but I did him (and myself) a disservice by not having more. I grew up in a large family and while you can love and hate your family, most times they have your back! Oh well, hindsight is 20/20, as they say.  I am considering when I get done with me, maybe fostering... we will see. I just might get some more dogs... they are more loving than people, sometimes!!  LOL

Carb challenge is doing okay... I stuck to menu yesterday and have high hopes for today.

Everyone have a most excellent day!!!!

My mom grew up in a family of 12 kids and only had 2.  She says she regrets not having more children.  I only had 2 as well and i can't imagine having anymore, but my husband and I do talk about fostering.  I think its such a great thing to do.  The world needs more people that are willing to open there homes to children in need. Although more dogs are always good too!

Good Morning and way to go Nikki-congrats on both things-keep up the great work!

I would go back to junior high and tell myself that all the boy drama isn't worth it!!

B: SF latte, egg beaters with spinach and cheese, fruit (apple slices, and grapes)

S: Cranberry thin addictives and a laughing cow cheese wedge
