What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning from rainy Syracuse!  I had a glorious solo weekend and I'm so sad to see it end.  I love my husband and son and all, but...  LOL

I don't know if you guys saw her post, but I just want to give a shout out to our fellow menu poster Susan (3Bassethounds) for her honesty and for sharing her story.  Addiction is real and scary and it takes ******g guts to admit it.  This OH community is the best, for real. 

QOTD!  Do you speak another language?  If you don't, is there a language you wish you could speak?  I was watching the Food Network pretty much all weekend and there was a show where Giada DiiWhatever was in Italy.  I knew she was Italian but hearing her speak it was fascinating to me.  I took French in high school so I can understand a little, but that's about it.  Although whenever I watch a French language movie with subtitles, I can convince myself that I'm fluent.  LOL

Time since surgery:  21+ months

B:  coffee, L&F Greek key lime and a couple of graham crackers.  Redneck key lime pie up in here!

S:  1/2 Quest bar; cookies and cream

L:  no clue.  I didn't bring anything with me and I have no money.  I has a sad.  LOL

D:  sockeye salmon burger with tomato and some tator tots.  Don't judge me.

TOTALS:  I'm not even going to put anything here.  LMAO

You guys, I'm seriously having an amazing little mini-vacation with Grim in DC.

First, have I mentioned lately how lucky I am to have found him? He's pretty damn great. Just sayin'. Second, I got to see lots of family and friends that I love to pieces and had really been missing. And last...HELLO! OH meet up in DC! Here is a pic--in height order, of: Grim, NYmom, DCgirl, Nerdy Girl and me! Such fun to be together, share war stories and catch up in person. We should all be doing this kind of meet up more often, when possible. It's gold.

Second pic is me on a run in DC yesterday morning.

QOTD: nothing fluent, but a little French, a little Latin and a little Amheric (long story).

We leave DC tonight at 4pm and arrive at midnight-i**** will make for a cranky crappy day tomorrow but worth it for another day here. We haven't talked meals... All I know is breakfast is protein coffee and BACON!

Awesome picture!!  And damn, Grim.  How tall are you?  I know Cynthia's like 5'10"...

Love that yall were able to get together! It is really awesome and this community is great!

Great pics! Glad you all got to meet.

Hi JuniperBerry and all!  What a great evening last night - it was so great to meet you and NerdyGirl, and see Grim and NYMom again!  I love that we are in height order, from 4'11" to 6'4"!  That was so fun to hang out and chat and have dinner :)  Thanks for making the time, and I am glad you guys chose a departure time for today!

Safe travels!

LOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEE your DC meet up pic, so awesome!! Go glad you all had a great time, that's a great looking group there!!

So thrilled you and Grim are having such a great time away, I just want to put it out there that I want to be invited to the wedding LOL 

Sound like a great mini break and that you got to meet with all your family and friends, that's so energizing to the soul right!

And you are right, we should pick a date/time and place and put it out there to OH menu land that there will be a meet up and if people can make it great, if not then next time, you might be on to something girl!!

I love your pic of you out for your run with the monument behind you, good for you for getting your run in on vacay! You look awesome!

I have to admit I had to google Amharic, that I have never heard of, but that is super cool!!

Coffee & bacon, what more could you ask for LOL LOL

You are a much stronger person than me to get home at midnight and go to work the next day, you are a trooper!!

Safe travels my friends! 

Girl, you know I was thinking a wedding invite, too.  LMAO

the "height order" picture made my day!  

Susan is seriously my hero!! 

QOTD: I took French in high school, I don't remember much of it.  We went to Quebec for our honeymoon and learned enough to ask where the bathroom was, the bus, say please and thank you etc.
