What's on your Menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

Good Morning Friends, HAPPY FRIDAY!  Its PHOTO FRIDAY, post whatever pic you want, its open topic today. And for those of you don't post a pic I am telling you now you suck and I am telling Santa to give you a big ole lump of coal under the tree! ha ha  Its cold and tons of snow here, my hands are frozen as I type this, hoping they thaw soon ha ha ha

What is everyone's weekend plans?  We have a busy weekend ahead!  Oh and its 2 weeks and 2 days to Christmas, just saying! LOL Tonight we are going to Costco, then to a place called Rens Pet Depot which is this huge pet food store, its kind of like a mini Costco for dogs/cats/bunnies/hamsters etc.  Its great because they let you bring your animals in the store.  Then to the Mall to get my SIL a pandora charm. Tomorrow is her 50th birthday and my MIL is throwing her a big party, so looking forward to it as all my fav Aunt's & Uncles and Cousins from hubby's side of the family will there and its a big group! I can't wait for this party!  Sunday is "face your fears" and we are hitting the mall for an all day Christmas shop until you drop!  I want to get all our stuff done if we can!  

QOTD: What is your biggest pet peeve?  I am sure like me you have many pet peeves but try and pick one.  I think my #1 is people who ask me a question like "Do I take these elevators to get to the Cardiac Clinic" and then as I answer them they proceed to talk over me and completely interrupt me. Don't talk over me and interrupt me if you ask me a question. I have one particular co worker who is really really REALLY bad for talking over me & interrupting me after she asks me a question. I have started to say to her as she is talking over me I say "clearly you already had the answer because you are talking over me and not letting me finish."  Yes I really & truly say that!  What's totally f'ed up is she continues to do it as I continue to be snarky to her.  One of these days I might put a couple of capfuls of Miralax in her coffee, that will keep her in the bathroom for hours and away from me. Opps did I say that out loud? Feeling a little Grinchy ha ha ha

So my pics are a friend of mine at our Exec Breakfast on Wed gave me a gag gift (as she knows I eat a ton of meat), there you see it folks "Bacon Toothpaste," I was going to re-gift and send it to Grim but now he has seen it so will have to think of something else ha ha Second is a product recco from me, if you are looking for an energy booster I highly recommend these "Power Bar Gel blasts (raspberry flavour), I chew 2 of them before I go for a run and I feel like the energizer bunny!  They are awesome and I am sure my running friends on here will agree!  Next is look what I found!  At Walmart shopping last weekend found "Smartfood Indulgence, chocolate caramel drizzle" Whaaaatttttttt! I did not buy it because I fear I would eat it in one sitting!  If anyone out there has tried it tell us is it as amazing as it looks??? And lastly... Candy Cane chocolate flavoured Almonds from Planters, well I did buy these from Walmart and they are as yummy as they sound.  I literally can only eat 3 almonds, they are very sweet and decadent but amazing.

QOTD:  Your pet peeve really annoys me too. Related to that is my BIL who makes hurry up gestures when I am answering his question (I'm apparently not speaking fast enough for him though others say I talk too fast). My biggest pet peeve is probably when "people" in my house leave clutter lying around and I have to put it away. I hate clutter out in the open, though I'm okay if it is out of sight (in drawer or closet).  

B: usual eggbeaters, cottage cheese and red peppers/chilis

L: going out to lunch with lifelong friends and childhood neighbors (twin sisters) - now we live close together again

D:  might make light crab cakes - eat one and freeze the rest

S: hummus and nut thins - some other snack tbd

I was in my weight loss centers annual "reveal" last night. I wanted DH to take a photo, but he did a video.  Here it is (if you can see it): https://youtu.be/rUarpsaXPAw

Have a great Friday!

you look fantastic!!

Wowza! You look fantastic! Congratulations, you deserved a video, not just a picture! 

WOWZERS!!! You look so awesome, beautiful, confident!! And I LOVE your dress!!! 

Congrats Liz you look phenomenal!  Keep up the awesome work!

If that was my BIL with the hand gestures to hurry up I would be totally snarky and say "you know that the more you make that gesture the more I am going to talk slower and just add to my story and make you wait for the answer!" ha ha ha  I am very wordy (in case you all didn't notice) and it drives my hubby mental cuz he is a one word answer kinds of guy.  And I hear you on the clutter, UGH like if you take the can opener out of the drawer and use it PUT IT BACK, is it so damn hard people LOL LOL

Enjoy your lunch with your friends, that sounds really lovely!

Tell me more about these "nut thins" I love hummus and usually eat it with a veggie but think I would like a nut thin better! 

Have a great weekend!

Thank you!  Nut thin crackers are made by Blue Diamond.  130 calories for 19 crackers. They have a lot of crunch to them and work well as a hummus vehicle.

Gorgeous!  Congratulations.

Me being Me would give him a hand Ummm finger gesture if he ever did that to me!  

Morning everyone!

Busy weekend ahead holiday parties and visiting. I will try my best to get my shopping done today!

we had a little scare last night. My husband thought he had a strained groin muscle, but turns out it's a staph infection. His dr prescribed antibiotics, but said if it grows over the next 12 hours, to go to emerg, to get a dose of IV antibiotics, as there is a slight chance of flesh eating disease. It did grow. The ER doc said we caught it early, and is confident one dose of IV meds will get things moving, but to be safe, we go back at 7:30 this morning to see the soft tissue specialist,and they will decide if he needs more IV treatments, or can go back to pills, with monitoring. Got to bed around 2am, up at 6.

Tl;dr version: hubby has a rash, he's fine, I'm sleepy.

qotd:Over talkers are the worst!! But I'd have to say mine is men who expect their partners to mother them. My husband only made the mistake a couple of times to say stuff like "ah, I wanted to wake up by xoclock, you should have woke me up" ... I'm not your mother, set your alarm! Or like, when women talk about having to buy their husbands new clothes and toiletries. I can't think of anything less sexy than a man who doesn't know enough to buy new underwear for himself. Guess my pet peeves centre around gender roles haha.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not working at the moment so I do all the home stuff. But when I get back to work, chores go back to being split...end rant..

Menu:

B: protein shake

L: the end of the pork tenderloin.

D: tbd

have a great day everyone!

Yikes! Hope hubby feels better, soon!
