What's on your Menu today (Tuesday) RNYers?
Good morning DD2 and the crew. I had a decent night last night. Hubby is out of town again, this time to Nashville. Hoping he can get home tonight, but there are no promises. It will really depend on other people. If his repair goes quickly, and the other FSRs go too slowly, he may have to fly to Shreveport, LA to do a repair instead of coming home. That will mean he'll be gone AT LEAST one night more. This morning at my house was not fun. I really feel bad for Bugsy when hubby is out of town. I got up at 5, but by the time I got down to him it was closer to 5:30, I tried to love him and play with him, but I had to get my lunch packed and Kal up and ready to go. I woke my oldest, Joe, early to make him play with the puppy a bit before he had to leave for school. I know that once Bugsy gets older it won't be as bad, but I feel really horrible. He has to be alone in a 2'x4' pen from 7am until 3pm, and only gets a short time with us in the monring. When my hubby is home, he gets more time, since Hubby doesn't start wor****il 8:30. When I got home last night I just ran in and put his leash on him and took him out to run around in the yard for a bit. I'm so glad that it hasn't been as cold this past week, it's given me the opportunity to get him out to play outside. I'll definitely have to go to puppy play time at Petco again this Saturday.
DD2QOTD: Not really. I have always been a great lover of food. I will say that now after surgery I'm pretty lactose intolerant, so I don't drink any milk (unless it's lactose free) and I am not even tempted by Ice Cream anymore. I'm even afraid of regular half and half, and will only drink it if I have the little cups. I always tend to over pour if I have it in bulk. The other day I was talking about how it was a curse to like all food. I made the joke at work "I eat things, it's what I do", and that is so true. Hell, I even ate intestines this weekend, and enjoyed them. I really wish I was pickier.

OH. I love the beach. My teen years were spent in Florida. I miss it. But we haven't even visited the beach since my 8 yo was a baby. Large family trips are expensive, and we usually spend ours visiting family or camping. Someday though...
QOTD- I have a bit of an egg aversion. They made me really sick when I started on solids. They don't anymore, but I still have that mental issue, lol. I do eat them, I'm hoping it will fade.
Mostly home today. Tuesda y is therapy day for my 12yo, but my husband will take him, so I will be home getting school done and trying to take back the house...it's a process when things get behind around here. This evening I will take my girls to get groceries and go to cheer practice.
B- last bit of beef stew kicking around the fridge
L- chicken sausage, a small salad
S- another sausage
D- chicken breast with roasted artichokes and peppers

Good Morning Daisy and Menu Family,
We're supposed to get snow here today in Nebraska.
A beach picture? We live smack in the middle of the USA - exactly 1,733 miles from either coast - so going to the beach is not an option for us. We did go to the beach in 2004 when we visited my brother in Virginia and went to a beach in Maryland, but I don't know where the pictures are.
QOTD: I don't think my tastes changed after surgery. I have always hated fish ever since I accidently ate some rancid fish once in high school and had a bad after taste that lasted all day. Just remembering that rancid fish makes me gag.
B: 2 eggs, sunny side up, 3 strips bacon
L: Lettuce, spinach, 2 h.b. eggs, bacon, cheese, low cal dressing
D: Homemade chili
S: Light n Fit Greek yogurt
S: Roast beef roll-ups with cream cheese
Exercise: Walking the dog, weather permitting. Otherwise exercise bike.
Have a FANTASTIC day everyone!

Good Morning and please wish your beautiful mom a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you enjoy spending time celebrating her birthday with her this weekend. I am doing well today, was kind of a grump with a headache last night so it's good to be up and have gotten in my run this morning. The rain has stopped for now so it's a bit colder today than it was last week but as usual not as bad as most of you all! I like the beach pic idea for photo Friday-love the beach!!
QOTD: Donuts, like from the shop kind! The smell makes me sick to my stomach. The smell of the other kinds like hostess or something don't bother me so I think it's the grease in the others. And, as you know I can eat your share of cottage cheese. I ate it before surgery but not too often. The thing I eat more often post-surgery is tuna-yuuummmy!
Time since surgery: 2 years, 5 months
B: SF latte, eggbeaters, ½ an orange and 2 turkey sausage links
L: Sweet and spicy tuna packet, a boiled egg and baby carrots
S: SF latte, Yoplait Greek vanilla yogurt, and jerky pack
D: 2 eggs and 2 slices bacon
E: Hour run this morning and 40 mins of elliptical at lunch
V/W: On track

Good morning! Happy to *see all of you! Happy birthday to your beautiful mother, DD2!
QOTD: I truthfully cannot think of any food that grosses me out since surgery. I guess the thing that comes closest is fast food -- there was a time that I ate a lot of fast food (often secretly) and now I feel disgusted when I see people eating it. My husband got McDonald's while we were traveling last summer - and the smell in the car made me sick. I don't know if that isn't just me being a ***** though. I view most fast food as poison - so I try to keep my mouth shut about it because I don't want to be the "food nazi" jerk to other people.

As a final thought -- here's diaper dog this morning. She's doing a bit better this morning. She's already barked at the cat, a squirrel who dared come near her deck, and a UPS man that was so frightened by her that he left her a box from Chewy filled with new treats!!

She should scare that UPS man more often! Hahaha!
She's beautiful, and I can just tell she's a gentle soul! Look at those eyes!
