What's on Your (photo) Friday Menu, RNYers?
Happy Friday everyone! Yea! Another week in the books.
Returning to work post surgery this week has been a bit rough. I really want to be home napping and watching re-runs of Cosmos but I am glad I am able to be working, right? Gratitude for having a job I love and a career should be a thing. Work smirk.
QOTD: This weekend I am volunteering as a pretend bar tender at a fundraising event in Austin. That should be fun and exhausting. I am not now nor have I ever been a bar tender but really who cares? It is all for charity and I figure I can wing it. The drinks are all free, provided by the event, and the tips are what go to the fundraiser. I may jack up their free drink BUT I can chat them out of their tip money easy peasy. Especially once the attendees are drunk and I'm still sober. :) Also, Saturday my two teenagers are both moving out -- insert insane clingy mom crying emoji -- They are headed off to college. This is the second year for the 19 year old, first year for the 18 year old. I think I might end up drinking all the alcohol at the free bar after all. I'm very proud of them both but it is bizarre to even think about having only one kid left at home. ONE? Only one kid? Gah!
PHOTO Friday! Here is me today. I went and took bathroom selfies just for you guys today. I am wearing what I fondly refer to as my "Captain Kangaroo" jacket (10 bucks from a secondhand shop). Also, just for the shoe lovers out there who have worried about my profound lack of shoes, I did in fact get THREE new pairs. These black flats, a pair of pewter flats, and (drum roll) knee high black dress boots. Too hot to wear the boots yet but darn it they were on clearance for 17.50 AND I have never been able to zip a pair of knee high boots ever before. They simply had to come home with me.
New flats
Captain Kangaroo got nothin' on me
Menu:
Still haven't been to the grocery store. No plan for dinner yet. Greek yogurts for both breakfast and lunch. Hoping to get menus planned for next week. Wish me luck.
Have a wonderful weekend friends!

I'm not quite there yet. My oldest starts his last year of high school in September and plans to go to the local college so I think I'm ok for a couple more years. DD has 3 years left but I don't think she will stay home. And the youngest is starting grade 7 so awhile yet for him too. But I do feel your pain! ((Hugs)). Great shoes and jacket. ?
RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.
77 lbs lost and counting!
Losing the regain! I got this!
Morning gang. Sorry I'm late. I haven't posted food lately. You'd all be bored to tears. I've had cheeseburgers for 6 meals in a row now. And it's so frikken hot and humid, I've even avoided cooking outside on the grill, opting for a frying pan on the stove instead.
Ribeyes and Diet Pepsi on sale this week!
Another busy weekend for JB and I. We're going to a play up on the Maine coast tomorrow -- Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. And a local fair on Sunday, if the weather holds.
