What's on your Menu today (Tuesday) RNYers?

OH mises you too Grim, mostly me, but I am sure all your meat eating pals miss you too!

No that was not autocorrect LOL LOL I see it as crazy daisy is the one who wants to eat cake 24/7 but "sensible" daisy is willing to put her life on the line and do something good for the oceans/sharks/environment ha ha ha! Yes its totally f'ed up logic.  Ask Arun how my brain works, its a scary place ha ha ha

I could so see you and Mike Rowe being best buddies. And I loved his show, he was a funny mo fo!!!   We need to find a TV show like that for Grim and involves meat, hey maybe Mike Rowe will narrate it for you! ha ha

Hi All, I am tired, cold, and hungry today. Good thing there is finally not a plate of doughnuts in front of me, because today would not me the day to test my willpower.

QOTD: Ooh I like this game. Food critic! Or travel writer! Or both! I'd also like to work on a movie set for a week just to get a real behind the scenes look at how it all comes together. I'd also love to be a stylist to the stars. No sharks for me, girl--I am all about the glamour!

This is not good, but I literally have no food with me except for the last 3 cheese sticks that were in the fridge and a Zone Perfect Mint Choc Protein bar. Crappity-crap-crap. I am too tired for this today. I am going to try to just stick to that and not buy anything else--it's too cold to go hunting for nibbles and I am bound to make a bad choice... 

ooooo - food critic or travel writer - I didn't even think of those - me too!  Me too!

Lets be "TIred, cold and hungry" together because that is pretty much my theme going on in my life right now too!

Very cool dream job ideas!!  How come I never thought of those!  I am so lame in my style there is no way I can style someone else ha ha

I hope you found some decent food today other than a cheese stick and a protein bar!!!

Nope. But I came home to find my sweetie making fudge (so I ate a few spoonfuls) and now he's making me a steak

Good morning gang.  I'm feeling out of sorts today.  Today was the first day that my little is staying with my sister in law while I work, and I needed to have both of us up and out of the house by 6:30.  Well, I was running about 10 minutes behind because my little kept asking for something, and so by the time I got us in the car and down the road a few miles, I realized I forgot my lunch and my laptop.  If it had just been my lunch, I would have kept going, but I can't do anything at all without my laptop, seriously.  So I had to turn back around.  I was 20 minutes late getting to her house, but I was able to make up a little time on my drive and got to work at 8:15, only 15 minutes late.  But then I found out that our IT department wipes out test database every night, and I had just loaded all of this data last night before I left work so we could do some testing today.  I guess that is something that I'll never do again, lol.    I'm just now starting to feel normal, though I have a bit of a headache so I just took a couple of tylenol.  Hoping it goes away quickly.

DD2QOTD:  I think I'd like to be an artist of some sort.  I'd make jewelry, or something useful, but I'd be creative while doing it.  As a matter of fact, the moment I get some free time after the holidays are over, I'm going to get in my basement and make some fun stuff, not just pajama pants for everyone, lol.

16+ months since surgery

B: Bagel with cream cheese from Panera. I caved, and had one here at work.  I am having a HUGE pouch day and ate the whole bagel and didn't even feel full.  Coffee with SF coffeemate

L: 4oz of grilled chicken with salsa and an ounce of shredded mozzarella

D: I meant to pull something out before leaving for work but I totally forgot, so I'll make frozen chicken patties for the fam and I'll have shrimp with ****tail sauce.

S: Light and Fit Greek Yogurt and cheese curds.

I haven't even put any of this in MFP, but I better get logged in and on it so I don't break my 400+ day streak!

Have a great day everyone.

Good to have a hobby, for sure get back into crafting you have mentioned before how much you love it!

Morning everyone! Only 5 sleeps?

I'm having a hard time right now dealing with emotions in regards to my 17yo daughter... seems she barely has time these days... working, band, color guard, friends, BOYFRIEND... and the list goes on... long story short is that Thursday we are supposed to be driving to Dallas to see my oldest and dearest friend (and her family) who is here in the states visiting from the UK. I haven't seen her in years, and I miss her terribly. Our kids spent a number of years growing up together, and I was really REALLY looking forward to all of us doing the crazy 4 hour drive to Dallas so we could all spend a few hours together. Hubby can't go... he has to work. So I was bummed because they haven't met him... THEN Blaine comes home last night and tells me that she can't go Thursday because she's scheduled to work, THEN tells me that she's working on Friday night until 9 (the night I wanted the four of us to go drive around and look at lights).. THEN, asks when she can go see the (he is really nice) COVETED boyfriend  so they can exchange Christmas presents (that will be tonight)... TOMORROW night, BOTH kids have birthday parties they really want to go to (and Jacob rarely gets invited, this is a GOOD thing and I want him to go)... And add to all of that, they leave Christmas morning to go with their dad until the new year... 

Christmas will be rushed for us, and I feel traditions slipping away with my oldest, already.

OK... Pity party done!

QOTD: I'm not sure... I think a skydiving instructor (if only for a week) would be pretty cool! And maybe the captain of a cruise ship... dive instructor in the Great Barrier Reef, If only for a week, then sign me up to work next to Guy Fieri for a week-long drive and taste trip! (I wouldn't eat much, and I think he'd be a hoot to hang out with, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE small local joints with great food!)

Weight this morning 164.2

B: 2 bacon 1 egg

L: Leftover 3oz manwich

D: beef tips

S: Coffee... more coffee

So feel you on the slipping traditions and the too damn busy kids as they grow up.  It is rough this year.  I know we did the pretend Christmas last weekend and it was wonderful but it just feels like I am skidding on blac**** into a wall called "Christmas".  I have put some stuff in place to try to soften the impact but no kids home for Christmas is going to be really hard. The Orphan Christmas we are hosting is shaping up nicely and I think the house will be so full of people I will be distracted but I still plan on having a glass of wine and crying in a corner for a few minutes at least.

We are going over to a friend's house on Christmas Day... after we do our volunteer lunch kennel duty at the Boxer Rescue... I plan on coming home with a new Foster baby! LOL (Merry Christmas to me and the new dog!)

Wine will be on the menu... that or Irish coffees.... coffee has been a major staple thus far this winter!
