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

I love this. My 18 year old was helping my 13 year old with his math homework last night and for some reason all these memories flooded back of the 2 of them. They shared a room until last year. 

So Sweet!!! 

 so sweet!!

I love sleeping children.

My son caught me once. He thought I was being a little creepy.

Good morning crew.  It's been a long week and I'm still not done.  This work thing is killing me.  I think this is going to be the new norm every month, and I'm going to have to adjust to sitting for a few weeks and then rushing to get stuff done.  It's a new process and this is the first month I've taken everything on by myself, so I know it's just a matter of setting up my processes and becoming familiar with the timelines.  Having a corporate forecast with a large corporation that has expectations and doesn't really take well to not meeting deadlines is a bit overwhelming and intimidating.  So far, I've been able to keep up, and I don't fear not making the timeline, but I'm pushing myself to get it all done right away so we don't miss.  With time it will probably mellow a bit for me when I get used to it.  

I went to the funeral home last night for my long time friends mother.  She was 61 and died quickly and unexpectedly.  It was really odd, I was there expecting tears and crying, but everyone was very much okay. I think it was that everyone was numb.  I got to catch up with my old friend, and then I came home.  The whole situation depressed me a little, because I'm feeling very sorry for my friend.  She's a great person, but she really has let herself go in so many ways.  It's not a weight issue or anything, because she's lots a lot of weight since the last time I've seen her, it's just I don't know how to explain it.  She's just not taking care of herself like she should.  

I'm at work again with no food and no plan.  Hubby is home with the kiddo again and I left so early that I didn't stop to pack a lunch.  I also didn't pack breakfast, so I'm just drinking coffee for now.  Not feeling particularly hungry quite yet.  I'll likely order an egg scramble from the restaurant downstairs in a bit.  

Here is the last photo from my phone.  It is a pic of Bugsy's butt.  I was taking a picture of his tail.  Boston Terriers have what is called a screw tail, and I belong to a Boston Terrier group on facebook and the subject of docking tails and what the breed standard is, etc. came up.  I was trying to snap a good pic, because Bugsy's is a bit long, but it's still well within standard length.  I uploaded the last two, because you can't really see the tail well in the last pic.

I'm feeling pretty funky this morning, and not a good kinda funky, more like I'm in a funk.  I'm hoping that my coffee will help to bring me out of it this morning.

Have a great day everyone!

I am sure the funeral has impacted that 'funk.' I want to my son's play about death and grief last night and I think I dreamed death/dying last night too. Today I feel pensive. Death tends to do that. Hopefully you will get that caffeine into your system and get to hitting it. Lots of love to ya!

Qotd: Boring here, the last pic was of my Valentines Day Anova and I've already posted it here. Boo.

No weekend plans, per say. I told my sister I'd come up to her house (1 hr away) and help her refinish her cabinets on Sunday. Oh and hubs is going to DC for the next 2 weeks, with a weekend trip to visit his folks in Jersey in the middle. We'll most likely do shopping Saturday; Costco, Publix, Target, Starbucks Etc.  I'm sure there will be an impromptu lunch some place while were out and about. 

I'm planning to add some weight training next week. I learned at my appt on Wednesday that I've lost 10 pounds of muscle since January last year and I'm not at all excited about that. I'm planning to increase my protein intake by around 20 and work heavy weights until my next appt in May. I seriously doubt I'll gain 10 pounds of muscle, but I'd like to see some improvement either in fat loss or muscle gain. Fingers crossed!

Morning everyone.  TGIF.  Work has been crazy due to scale issues with this crappy snow.  Seems like when ever we get snow it wants to freeze up the scales even though they are cleared off.

So don't hate on me because this was the last photo I took on my cell phone.  I sent it to my mom and daughter on Valentine's day to brag about the strawberries I made for my husband.   They were made with dark chocolate and yes I had one. 

And just because she is getting so big my granddaughter at 2 months old.  Love her to pieces.

Ooooh, to both of the pics.  The strawberries look delicious, but honestly, I'd rather eat those chubby baby cheeks!  I just saw one of my facebook memories today is a pic of my youngest.  I'm going to add it here just because he's so freaking adorable as well!  This was 2 years ago, and I know that one of these days he's going to kill me for posting this pic.
